Brainerd senior Mya Tautges has spent much of this school year demonstrating what people living in the Brainerd area have known for years: She’s one the best all-around high school athletes in Minnesota.
Tautges, who stands 6-1, began her senior year by becoming a state-champion swimmer, winning the 50 freestyle at the Class 2A state meet. In March, she led the Brainerd girls basketball to the state tournament for the first time in 28 years, becoming a career 1,000-point scorer along the way.
It’s all led to this spring, where Tautges is leading the Warriors softball team as one of the best pitchers in the state, with a fastball clocked at over 65 MPH and scholarship to the University of St. Thomas in her back pocket.
