Kayla Montgomery

Hometown: Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Discipline: Running
Kayla Montgomery was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (also known as MS) at the age of fifteen, forcing her to stop playing soccer and instead begin running. Throughout her high school career, Montgomery grew from an average runner to a three-time state champion. Her MS has prevented her from being able to physically stop her body from running, but that hasn’t stopped her from pursuing her passion. Currently, she is running for Division 1 Lipscomb University in Nashville Tennessee.
