PERSONAL: Ky Ecton was born on July 3, 2000, and is the daughter of Laura and Kraig Ecton. Her mother is a high school math teacher and her father is an attorney. Both of her parents graduated from Colorado College, where her mother played tennis and volleyball, and her father competed in track. She has three older sisters, Kwynn, Kayla and Koy. Kwynn played tennis at Lindfield College and at Colorado State. Kayl is currently a senior at CSU and Koy is a junior at CU. In her spare time, Ecton enjoys music, hiking, hanging out with her friends and family, and swimming. She has volunteered at Poudre Valley Hospital and in special needs classes as a tutor. She chose CU because she loves “the feel on campus and the ability to play tennis and have a top engineering school. It is also close to home, but not too close.” She had eight other offers to play Division I tennis.
