Kirstyn Sperry

Classroom

Kirstyn Sperry is a six-time dean’s list honoree and three-time NEC Academic Honor Roll selection with a Commissioner’s Honor Roll distinction in 2017. The senior finance major holds a 3.77 GPA.

Character

“Sperry holds herself to the highest standards on and off the court. She is diligent and demanding of herself and continues to reach higher goals in the classrooms. An example of this is her desire to add accounting as a second major to an already tough finance curriculum. A leader in the weight room, she is constantly pushing her teammates to be better prepared for the court. A full participant in our Special Olympics volunteer program, you will see her brightly coaching the youngsters and sharing her knowledge of the game.” - Head Coach Theresa Garlacy
