Kayla's presence on the Gaucho squad is nothing short of miraculous. After having suffered through a botched 2005 spinal cord surgery which left her paralyzed, Kayla has defied all odds and is not only walking again, but is also running and high jumping! Quite possibly the toughest athlete in track and field today, Kayla has pushed herself into competition shape through pure will and voracious determination. Though simply beholding the sight of her strapping on the Gaucho uniform will be a shining moment for the entire team, Kayla is not easily satisfied, and will most definitely be clearing heights and scoring points in her final season as a Gaucho.
