Jaylen Nuila

Becton Regional High School multi-varsity sport athlete Jaylen Nuila has participated in volleyball and basketball throughout her entire high school career. Additionally, she was a high jumper for her school’s track team for two years.

Jaylen expressed that “winning games is one of the best feelings.”

Jaylen’s most memorable experiences involve meeting new people and having fun with her team. Her attitude toward school sports has pushed her to become successful. “You have to want to be better in order to do better,” she said.

The Class of 2019 graduate’s desire to make her coaches and teammates proud became her ultimate purpose when setting a good performance whether on the field or on the court. With that exact motivation, Jaylen has driven herself to receive all-state honors for volleyball. “It’s my favorite sport, and I worked really hard to be good for my team. I’m glad the hard work paid off,” she expressed.

The senior athlete will be attending Colorado State University, where she hopes to continue participating in volleyball.

Jaylen identifies herself with USC Volleyball player Victoria Garrick. “She wasn’t always the best, but she worked hard to get where she is now and is highly recruited. Even though I’m not like anyone else, I can work hard to get where I want to be.”
