CHEYENNE, Wyo. \u2014 Central’s Brenna Perriton was not certain if she would have a chance to take the field for her senior season of soccer after tearing her ACL. However, a quick surgery and recovery landed her back on the pitch and a spot with the Laramie County Community College (LCCC) Golden Eagles.<\/p>\n
“It’s very exciting for me because at the beginning of the year, I didn’t think I was going to be able to do this, or it was going to be an option for me,” Perriton said. “I went to talk with Coach Lugo [Arenas], and he gave me a spot on the team, and I was honestly so relieved because I didn’t think that was going to be an option.”<\/p>\n
Perriton was a four-year letter winner for the Central Lady Indians in soccer, while also running cross-country and playing basketball.<\/p>\n
In her senior year, there was one goal for Perriton, other than recovering from injury. She wanted to head to the Wyoming State Tournament.<\/p>\n
Perriton and Central would do just that, clinching a spot as the last team out of the 4A East Conference. The Lady Indians would go to overtime and a shootout against the top team from the 4A West, Kelly Walsh, in the quarterfinals. Despite falling in that game, it was an experience Perriton had been wishing for.<\/p>\n
“All I wanted to do was make State, and I had my heart set on that,” Perriton said. “My setback happened with my ACL tear, and I just wanted to be on the field. Going to State was the best experience so far for me. Central Soccer, it was amazing, and my team put up a fight against Kelly Walsh.”<\/p>\n
She would go on to give plenty of credit to Central coach Coy Pickel, who came to the team in her junior season.<\/p>\n
“Thank you to Coy and Scott [Washenfelder] for being really good coaches these last two years,” Perriton said. “I struggled my first two years of soccer, but they were amazing, and I improved so much.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CHEYENNE, Wyo. \u2014 Central’s Brenna Perriton was not certain if she would have a chance to take the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":716264,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[259384,49,48,259383,259385,7190,561,82],"class_list":["post-716263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-brenna-perriton","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-central-lady-indians","tag-lccc","tag-signing","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=716263"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716263\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/716264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=716263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=716263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=716263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
