What kind of athlete are you? I'll always bust my butt no matter the day; I try to stay motivated and positive and always hard-working on and off the field. 

Each time you go out on the field, what do you think about? Prepping for each game, I remind myself how lucky I am to be a part of something so special and remember why I play. When I step on the field, I try not to think of anything and simply clear my head. 

Who has had the biggest impact on you here at HC? Throughout my four years at HC, my teammates have had the hugest impact on me; they are my family on and off the field. For better or worse, each person has influenced me some way or another and has allowed me to become a stronger person. I have them to thank for every minute and day, I love my girls. 

What Coach Hiemenz has to say: “Jessalynn embodies the complete Hastings College student-athlete.  She’s hard-working, dedicated to her team and community, and is the type of person that makes a program better.  We are lucky to have her represent our school on and off the playing field.”
