Makayla Evensen, a 2026 PHS graduate, recently signed to play volleyball and run track at the University of Findlay next year.
Evensen is receiving a full dual scholarship to participate in both sports at the NCAA Division II school in Findlay OH.
Evensen qualified for the MHSAA Division 2 State rack meet recently. Her 4x100 team consisting of herself, MaKenzie Wymer, Esther Moritz, and Marisa Weber qualified for states with a time of 50.67, a new PHS record. Evensen also qualified for 100m hurdles with a 15.94.
In her time at PHS, she competed in cross country for one year, soccer for two years, volleyball for three years, and track for four years.
She earned all academic honors her junior and senior year, honorable mention for track and all conference this year for track and field in two events. She received all area honors for volleyball her junior and senior year.
When asked about her choice of school, Evensen said, “I’ve been looked at by many schools ranging from NAIA to D1, but this school was one of the ones that allowed me to do both and also work in my major.”
