Wichita Collegiate has not only built superior students, but superior athletes as well. Senior baseball and football player Brett Black has gotten to see first hand how Collegiate impacts its students.

“I would recommend Collegiate for other students because it is a college prep school,” Black said. “The amount of work we do and the level of academics prepare us for almost any college out there. Along with the academics side, we have a tradition of strong athletic performance in all of our sports.”

Black had intentions of prepping for baseball during the winter season, but a small injury playing football threw off the plans.

“I planned to prepare for this season by beginning my training right after football season ended, but I had to delay my start until after Christmas break,” Black said. “I actually fractured my middle finger in my last football game, which definitely hindered my offseason progress goals, but I know I’m ready to get started for the season and to get to work with my team.”

With this being his senior year, Black

has hopes that the team ends the season with some important wins under their belt.

“I know we won state last year, but we can’t be looking far ahead to state,” Black said. “We need to take it one game at a time so that we make sure we take care of business and get back to where we want to go. At the end of the day, I just want the team to win.”

Black will be attending Friends University in the fall to further his academic and athletic careers.

“For college, I am attending Friends University to pursue my dream of playing college baseball and I plan on majoring in business administration,” Black said.
