sixth in the state.

Ayers, dedicated to her performance on the field, is very involved in extracurricular activities and has managed to be a member of the National Honors Society and Beta Club. Her leadership skills have allowed her to be a Palmetto Girls State alternate, a member of Pickens County Youth Court, FCA leader, treasurer and an active member of the Liberty’s chorus program.

“I am so proud of the young leader I have seen Amber develop into the past few months,” Liberty girls’ track coach Stefanie Wagner said. “She has always been dedicated to the sport of jumping, but this year she opened up to others on the team to share her wealth of knowledge. It takes a true dynamic athlete to give it their all every day at practice, and come to each meet with a willing and passionate outlook as Amber does. Our track team will not be the same next year. We may have been small, but thanks to Amber, we were mighty.”
