Editor’s note: This is the Kent Reporter’s final edition of the school year that will include Preps of the Week. We will pick up with Preps of the Week in the fall.

KELSEY BUENO, Kent-Meridian

Grade: Senior.

Sport: Track.

Accomplishment: Bueno, a pole vaulter, finished her prep career in style, delivering a mark of 12-feet at the Class 4A state meet to finish in a tie for first place.

Favorite class: Calculus.

If you could invite anyone in the world to dinner, whom would you invite, and what would you serve: I would invite any good looking male model with brains, and we’d go to out to dinner because I can’t cook.

Greatest athletic moment: Clearing 12-feet in the pole vault.

What’s on your iPod?: “Closer to my Dreams,” by Drake.

Also noted: Bueno will compete next year at Washington State University.
