Basketball

Kent Denver is delighted to introduce our new girls’ basketball coach, Ann Strother Abromaitis. 

Regarded as one of Colorado’s all-time best prep basketball players, Coach Abromaitis was a National High School Player of the Year, a two-time NCAA champion, a professional athlete in the WNBA, and a gold medalist with Team USA in the 3 vs. 3 World Championships. Coach Abromaitis is also a highly accomplished medical professional, currently working as an Orthopedic Nurse Practitioner at CU Sports Medicine. 

“Although her basketball and professional accomplishments are beyond impressive, it is Coach Abromaitis’s deep love of the game and excitement to share that love with our Kent Denver Sun Devils that will be most impactful for our program,” Athletics Director Jeff Hollway wrote in a letter to the team and their parents. “I know she will be an exceptional leader and example for our girls this season and for many seasons to come.”

When asked about her mindset in starting this new position, Coach Abromaitis told us, “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to coach this group of young women and I am looking forward to building on the strong basketball community at Kent Denver.”

MORE ABOUT KENT DENVER GIRLS BASKETBALL
The Kent Denver girls basketball team is a regular in Colorado's postseason tournament—having made the state playoffs in eight of the last ten seasons. 

That includes a Final Four appearance in 2017-2018, when the Sun Devils finished with an impressive overall record of 21-4.

More important than on court success, however, is the valuable life lessons learned by those who come through Kent Denver's 6-12 program. Players will come to appreciate both the successes and challenges that come with competition, while embracing core values such as teamwork and sportsmanship.
