2018-19 Cover Kid Rhys J. is a fish out of water! She started swimming when she was still in diapers, so being in the pool for her photo shoot made her feel right at home. This summer is a special one for her because, before her surgery to correct her perforated ear drums, she had to wear ear plugs whenever she was near the water. Now, she’s ready to have a splashing good time.

Rhys recently rescued a Tabby cat named Biscuit, and she also has another cat, one Betta fish, two parakeets, a hamster, and three dogs. Rhys enjoys dancing, glamping, and playing the piano, and she hopes to become a vet or animal rescuer when she gets older. She is the daughter of Jennifer J. and Angela A.
