On the basketball court, Brayden is a four-year participant, three-year letter winner, and earned Honorable Mention Conference Honors in 10th and 11th grade. In track, he is a four-year letter winner and served as co-captain during his junior year. His standout achievements on the track include holding the school records in both the 4x100 relay and Sprint Medley Relay, as well as qualifying for the 2026 Drake Relays (4x100 relay) and the 2026 State Track Meet (Distance Medley Relay).
Beyond his athletic success, Brayden is a member of the National Honor Society and has earned an Academic Letter and Honor Roll recognition all semesters of high school. His leadership development is highlighted by his four years on the Student Council, serving as Student Body Secretary in 11th grade and Student Body Vice President in 12th grade. He also attended the WCAC Leadership Conference during his junior year.
Brayden's commitment to service is evident in his extensive involvement within the community. He is an active member of the Ascension Parish & St. John’s Church Youth Group and serves as a Middle School Religious Education Instructor. His service work extends to participating in Bulldog Builders, volunteering at the local food pantry, assisting with the Memorial Day flag setup, and working as a youth basketball referee.
In addition to balancing academics, athletics, and service, Brayden maintains a strong work ethic through his employment. He worked as an Adventure Staff Member at Sunstream Retreat Center during the summers of 2025 and 2026, earning the distinction of Employee of the Week both summers. Managing these responsibilities alongside his school commitments speaks volumes about his discipline and character.
Following graduation, Brayden plans to further his education and leadership skills by attending the University of Northern Iowa or the University of Iowa, majoring in business.
