Bailey Ann Hurlburt, daughter of Brent and Twyla Hurlburt, attended St. John Lutheran School for preschool through eighth grade before coming to Battle Creek High school as a freshman. She is a member of St. John Lutheran Church.
Bailey participated in cross country, basketball, and track throughout high school. She is a two time state qualifier for cross country and a one time state qualifier for track. Bailey was an Academic All State honoree for cross country during all four years of high school.
Aside from athletics, Bailey is a member of the National Honor Society and has served as a Trailblazer for the past two years. Bailey was selected by her peers as Homecoming Queen this past fall.
Outside of school, Bailey participates in the High School Rodeo Association where she has qualified for the state finals in Hastings, Nebraska. She also participates in the Mid-States Rodeo Association during the summer with her dad and brother. Bailey is also a past member of the Elkhorn Valley 4-H Club. When Bailey isn’t competing in rodeo, she works at In His Arms Childcare during the summer months.
When asked to name a favorite staff member, Bailey mentioned Mrs. Jenni Frey, stating, “She is always so kind and has a smile on her face.” Bailey listed her favorite subject as Spanish. Her favorite memory from her time at BCHS was qualifying for state cross country during her freshman year because she thought it was impossible. She mentioned that she finished in 15th place at districts and earned a spot in the state competition, something she will always remember fondly.
After high school, Bailey plans to attend Northeast Community College and will compete on their rodeo team. She plans to study special education.
Best wishes, Bailey!
