The Dunk Camp was one of the most incredible experiences of my athletic career. In the summer of 2024, I had the opportunity to compete in the low rim dunk contest — and I actually won it. That moment was unforgettable.
Being surrounded by other passionate dunkers, training together, and pushing each other to new heights was exactly the kind of environment I thrive in. I got to showcase different dunk techniques — lob passes, creative slams — and prove that female dunkers belong in the competitive arena.
I also got involved with the Minnesota Dunk Squad, which has been an amazing way to connect with other local dunkers and participate in dunk sessions and events. The community aspect of dunking is something that doesn’t get talked about enough — it’s not just about the individual, it’s about lifting everyone up.
I returned to The Dunk Camp in the summer of 2025 even more prepared, and I can’t wait to keep competing and growing. If you ever get the chance to attend a dunk camp or event, do it. It will change your perspective on what’s possible.
