2024 (Freshman): Did not see action.

Personal: Kennedy Urban, from Franklin, Indiana, attended Franklin Community High School, where she was a Grizzly Cub and excelled in multiple sports. She is the daughter of Amy and Bryson Urban and has two siblings, Tyler and Cooper. Sports run in her family, with her brother Ty Urban playing baseball at Indiana Tech (2012-2013) and her uncle Ryan Feyerabend competing at Indiana State (1996-2000).

Kennedy was actively involved in the National Honor Society and Student Council while balancing an impressive athletic career. She earned numerous accolades, including Varsity Basketball's Team Unity Award and Academic All-Conference honors. In tennis, she was a two-time Second Team All-State selection, made the All-County and All-Conference teams, and contributed to four Mid-State Conference Championships. Her volleyball career was equally remarkable, earning 2x MVP, 2x Captain, and multiple All-Conference and All-County selections.

Her teams achieved incredible success: Basketball won three Sectional, three Regional, and one Semi-State Championship, finishing as the 4A State Runner-up in 2022. Tennis saw four Mid-State Conference Championships, two Semi-State Championships, and two State Runner-up finishes, while volleyball secured a Sectional Championship. Individually, she completed her high school volleyball career with 2,196 assists (9.8 assists per set) and 914 digs, and in tennis, she received the Most % of Wins Award.

Kennedy’s background includes eight years in gymnastics, cheerleading through middle school, and club volleyball with Team Indiana since age 14. Outside of sports, she enjoys pickleball, music, painting, and boating with friends. She looks up to Simone Biles and Jared McCain and supports the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Passionate about giving back, she volunteers for organizations like Good Cheer Fund, Christmas Angels, and Love Serving Autism Tennis Clinic, among others.
