Athletic Excellence

The state’s returning Gatorade Player of the Year, the 5-foot-9 junior midfielder, forward and defender led the Timberwolves to a 19-0-1 record and a second straight Class 5A state championship this past season. Briley scored 12 goals and passed for one of her 10 assists in the team’s 2-0 win over Mill Valley High in the state title game. A two-time First Team All-State selection, she concluded her junior year with 41 goals and 22 assists in her prep soccer career.

Academic Achievement

Briley has maintained a weighted 4.11 GPA in the classroom. Taking advantage of NCAA early signing rules, Briley intends to ink a financial-aid agreement that paves the way for her to enroll early at Kansas University. She will graduate from high school this December and begin collegiate classes in the spring semester.
