Riggs has maintained a 4.0 GPA in the classroom. She will begin her junior year of high school this fall.
The vice president of her class at Morgantown High, Riggs has volunteered locally as part of fundraising campaigns to benefit the WVU Medicine Children’s Hospital, and she has also donated her time as a youth swimming coach.
