Kaylin Hinerman, Reporter

Kaylin Hinerman is a sophomore at Gretna East and this is her first year on the Wingspan staff. She joined journalism because she enjoys covering sports of any kind and hopes to someday be a sports analyst. 

This year on staff she hopes to make it to State and take home any type of award.

For the Gretna East softball team, she plays second base and any other position they want from her. Outside of school, she enjoys hanging out with her friends and refining her skills for softball in any way possible. 

One thing people don’t know about her is that she was born in Texas and lived in Colorado for 11 years. She describes herself as determined when she needs to get something done, athletic and social with anyone she meets. In the future, she hopes to play college softball but major in something to do with journalism.
