Keilara Owens
Sophomore | Emporia High School
Hey friends! I’m Keilara, a member of team coyote composite. When I’m not riding trails there’s a good chance I’m playing soccer out on the pitch. I am a very positive (glass half full type) and smart person that enjoys playing a key role on the team. Running and staying fit is another priority I value. On rest days you can usually find me eating LOTS of food and writing paragraphs for upcoming books. Lastly I want to leave you with this, Can’t Never Could : )
