Carlie Wagner set foot on the Williams Arena court last month with a ball in hand.
The Gophers were more than 32 minutes away from the beginning of practice and the eager freshman was already on the court.
It wasn’t until more than 15 minutes later that another player set foot on the maroon-bordered surface.
Throughout Wagner’s life, she has been a motivated athlete.
As she progressed throughout high school, she played in three varsity sports, and her dedication to academics and athletics separated her from the rest of her class.
