Senior Brittany McBain has been an inspiration and motivation to many as she is continuing her career in track and field at Kansas State University.

McBain has been on a club track team since eighth grade and cross country since freshman year. Something that prepared McBain for high school track was her club season with the Cyclones.

“We only had three practices a week but they did help us start to get in the feeling of being competitive, like racing other people,” McBain said. “We did a lot of teamwork stuff to build how to compete and run with others.”

One person who has looked up to McBain through the years is sophomore Delaney St. John. St. John is on the cross country and track team. McBain and St. John are good friends and teammates and St. John is following in the footsteps of McBain.

“I’d say Brittany is definitely very energetic and brings a lot of life to wherever she is,” St. John said. “She definitely made practice a lot more enjoyable. Everyone on our team is so close and such good friends that Brittany is also one of those people that can help pull everybody together, and it just makes it a lot more enjoyable.”
