Minnesota Player with Heart: Ashlyn Nelson

Brownfield Ag News

Ashlyn Nelson was nominated as a Beck’s Player with Heart for her commitment and passion on and off the court, course, and field. What she loves most about high school sports is the team bonding and family she has gained from playing with others. She enjoys the constant competition and having to work towards her goals. Ashlyn is involved in cross country, basketball, and track and field as well as the Minnesota Honors Society. Some community activities Ashlyn is involved in include being a teacher at Vacation Bible School, an Elementary basketball coach, a BioGirls mentor, and participating in the local 5k races. Through these events and opportunities, she is able to gain volunteer hours for the Minnesota Honors Society. Coming from a family that farms, Ashlyn believes agriculture is a significant amount of the crops grown on the soil. The crops that each farmer harvest provides her with food she finds in stores. Many may not realize that humans are not the only ones who need farmers, animals and all living things get fuel from the farmers' crops too. Ashlyn plans to attend Northland Community and Technical College in East Grand Forks to study to be a physical therapy assistant and potentially play basketball.
