I am proud to be a Wildcat because: I'm surrounded by student-athletes who value education and competing in sports as much as I do.

What I enjoy most about being a student-athlete at St. Catherine is: I enjoy the atmosphere of the athletic department and how much teams support each other.

Personal: Wicks is the daughter of Lance and Vicky Wicks.
