Introducing...Robyn Fairbanks

                                                    

I know what you're thinking. "So, who is this Robyn Fairbanks? I mean, I saw her on your preseason list yesterday, but who is she? Oh, and where is Utah Valley State?" Well, let's get to know Robyn Fairbanks.

 Fairbanks is a senior at Utah Valley State, located in Orem, Utah. The university is not a part of any conference, as they stand as an 'Independent.' Fairbanks is a two-time Independent Player of the Year, going for her third straight in her final season. She was also named an honorable mention AP All-American during her junior season, while averaging  23.8 points per game(4th in the nation), 57.9 percent from the field (12th in the nation) and 9.7 rebounds per game. UVSC Head Coach Kathy Nixon has sad that "She has done something great and special every game that she's played here and you don't see that very often at any level in athletics." Fairbanks, along with her male counterpart Ryan Toolson, uses her power and grace to lead the Wolverines on the court. Robyn Fairbanks is a force to be reckoned with and someone people should begin to notice. Maybe a winning season can help that? Fairbanks thinks that "We've got to find other things to play for besides the postseason. We want a 20-win season. We've got to come out strong and stay strong." With her leadership and poise, anything is possible.
