Amaya Wilson is the definition of the term Student Athlete, and she lives by the motto “Turn all setbacks into comebacks”. Shortly after winning the individual all around Mississippi state gymnastics title in 2021, she was given the devastating news of a back injury that would end her career as a gymnast. From there, she shifted her focus and found a new love in volleyball. Though her talent was raw and lacked fundamentals, her drive, motivation, and athleticism landed her an invitation to join the nationally ranked Crittenden Crushers. After one season with the Crushers, that raw talent was molded and refined in a way that saw exponential growth. She moved from JV to Varsity as a high school sophomore, and after weighing her options of club team offers, she is staying with the Crushers for another club season. She has a 3.6 GPA, she is the current offensive MVP for her high school varsity team, and has high hopes for that coveted D1 scholarship offer. Her graduation year is 2026.
