Spotlight: Kamryn Wadsworth

Kamryn Wadsworth committed to the USF Women’s Basketball team as a sophomore at Hamlin High School.

Already a standout, Kamryn continued down her path of basketball success, amassing 1,900 points, helping her team win a state title and earning recognition as the 2023 KELOLAND Sports Girls Athlete of the Year. 

By the time she graduated high school, she was widely known for her basketball prowess and her dominance in track and field as one of the state’s top female throwers. 

“I know I committed early, but USF checked all my boxes,” she explains. “I felt a real connection with the basketball coaches and was also offered a chance to participate in track and field. That sealed it for me.” 

While USF’s proximity to home, Christian foundation, intimate class sizes and strong education department drew her to campus, the opportunity to grow her faith helped her feel at home. 

“My freshman year I was in chapel, struggling with my decision and feeling a little homesick,” she shares. “I had a clear moment when I felt God tell me I was in the right place. Everything just clicked after that.” 

Now a junior Kamryn has more than proven she belongs at USF. Her accolades include:

• NSIC Freshman of the Year
• First Team All-NSIC
• CSC Academic All-District Team
• Multiple USF Athlete of the Week honors

As a dual-sport athlete she also continues to shine in track and field, competing in shot put, discus and javelin, where she earned the title of 2025 NSIC Javelin Champion.

Kamryn is majoring in elementary education and credits her academic and athletic success to an organized planner and a deeply rooted support system. She hopes to be a teacher and a high school basketball coach close to home after graduation. 

“My mom and dad are at almost every game and every track meet,” she says. “I lean on my teammates, my friends, my family, and USF coaches and faculty who believe in me. I knew I would have to work hard, and it’s so rewarding when it pays off.
