Ryanne Carr

Born with Amniotic Band Syndrome, Ryanne Carr was adopted from Kazakhstan at age two-and-a-half and raised in Van, Texas. From the moment she got her first pair of running blades at age six, she was all in on track & field - sprinting the 100m and 200m at an elite level with dreams of wearing Team USA colors on the Paralympic stage.

 

Her prosthetist at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children introduced her to the Endeavor Games, where she stepped onto the track for her very first race and instantly knew she’d found her calling. The speed, the competition, the roar of the crowd - it was home.

 

Ryanne attacks life with unbreakable positivity: do her best with what she has, believe she can do anything (even if it looks a little different), and tackle each day as it comes.

 

Now joining ATF’s Hyper program, she’s focused on building a stronger mind to fuel her body - keeping the momentum, staying in peak shape, and moving through life with total confidence and ease.
