Wichita West High School is proud to have KyVaunte Adams represent the school and the student body in this month’s Driving Change Athlete of the Month.
Adams is a multi-sport student-athlete at West and someone who knows what hard work and dedication can get you.
Currently a senior, Adams is a member of the wrestling and football teams as well as cross country, tennis and track. While he loves playing and competing, Adams is always focused on the academic side of the student-athlete title.
“Academics are very important,” said Adams. “The only way to play is to make good grades.”
When Adams is not developing his skills on the field or mat, you can usually find him working or boxing in his free time. He also loves pushing himself during calisthenics workouts.
One person who knows him best, his mother, has supported him while he pursues his goals in life. Her influence has meant the world to Adams.
“My mama she always inspired me to do whatever ever I wanted to do,” said Adams.
Adams enjoys representing his school when he competes. Being somewhat of an ambassador to his competitors and showing what West athletes are all about.
“What I like most is I get to show off my school and represent that West is better than what everyone else thinks,” said Adams. “Teammates are family and I would do anything for them. They are what gives me motivation to be part of any team and to work hard.”
His future plans include going to Butler CC or Wichita State University while working towards a degree in either electrical engineering or some type of trade.
