Student Spotlight: Aryll Behrends
Three years ago, Michigan Connections Academy student Aryll Behrends had almost never held a frisbee. Now she’s a member of the Professional Disc Golf Association and has won multiple women’s tournaments. Aryll Behrends has an impressive talent for disc golf.
She was invited to the world championship when she was 12 years old and holds the world record for the longest gridiron field-goal throw for her age group. Aryll is quick to point out that Michigan Connections Academy plays a key role in her success because it allows her the flexibility to balance going to school full time with her disc golf career. “This school allows me to tailor my daily planning to whatever activities or disc golf tournaments I have scheduled,” Aryll says.
