A 5-9 guard, Kroon has been a key part of Warriors teams that have made the last three ASAA 4A State Tournament title games, winning it all as a sophomore in 2024.

Savannah works hard, carries herself with great character, and we can鈥檛 wait to see how she develops here.鈥�
Kroon was also a flag football star as the Warriors鈥� starting quarterback, earning Railbelt Conference Player of the Year honors as a senior and leading the Warriors to top-three finishes at the state tournament in 2024 and 2025.
She will become the sixth member of her extended family to play collegiate sports, including brother Parker Kroon, who is currently a redshirt sophomore on the UAA men鈥檚 basketball team.
