Kirsten picks back up on her "Talking to the Student Athlete" Series with Shelby Schweyen. Shelby discusses her experiences participating in 3 sports all throughout high school, being recruited as a 3-sport athlete, and dealing with multiple injuries. 🏀🏐🏃‍♀️🤕

Schweyen enjoyed one of the legendary high school athletic careers in Montana state history, and prepared to play women's basketball for her mother, then Lady Griz basketball coach Shannon Schweyen, while competing in track and field for her father, UM's track and field coach at the time Brian Schweyen. She also was exploring the opportunity to play volleyball at UM in the fall of 2019.

After 2 injury plagued years at Montana University (and 5 knee surgeries), Shelby transferred to Montana State to pick back up her track career. Shelby overcame all these obstacles to win the pentathlon at the Big Sky Indoor Track & Field Championships!! 🏃‍♀️🥇

Shelby dishes out advice for teammates of injured players and how to get back on track for people dealing with injury. She uses a growth mindset and grit, always looking to come back better and stronger while never giving up!
