George Fox University

Alexis (Arnold) Kahns was a trailblazer for what has become a dominant multi-event group at Fox. She is still third all-time on the Bruins’ all-time performance lists in the heptathlon with a score of 4920. She was the individual national champion and an heptathlon All-American in 2011, and outscored several teams by herself with 45 points at the 2011 Northwest Conference championship meet. Her name also appears in the Bruins’ all-time performance lists for individual marks or relay races five times.

After leaving Fox following the 2012 season to be close to ailing family members, Kahns eventually married and moved to her family’s dream home in Sedro-Woolley, Wash. She and her husband, Mitchell, have two children together, and she is blessed to raise them as stay-at-home mom. Kahns and her family are very active in their church’s ministry programs, including support groups for mothers with young families.
