It’s been a tumultuous road for Kylee Griffen the last 24 months. In 2018, she entered the program as a sought after top-80 recruit from Lake Stevens. She was the Herald’s Player of the Year, a McDonald’s All-American nominee, and averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds her senior season. Then she injured her foot prior to the 18-19 season and took a redshirt year.
Her foot healed in time for practice last October, and it looked like she would be competing for minutes at the wing behind Jill Townsend. That’s when she suffered a season-ending shoulder injury, eliminating a second consecutive season.
