Coach Woehl on Ekness: “We are happy to have another Shepherd High School thrower joining our program, following Brady Ostermiller and Taylor Stringari. She'll work hard in and out of the classroom. We are looking forward to having her join other new women's throwers. They'll do great things."

Ekness on choosing MSUB: “I am beyond grateful for this amazing opportunity to participate and compete for the MSUB women's track and field program. I have wanted to throw at the college level for my entire high school career. I participated in a track and field camp at MSUB, and fell in love with the coaching and players that helped me grow my love of throwing and bettering myself. After the camp, I knew I wanted to be part of this amazing program, and I am now happy to say my dream has come true. I am truly blessed with the support from my parents and coaches along the way. I'm looking forward to becoming a Yellowjacket."
