Lamoni, IAKia Condit comes to Graceland from Kansas City, Missouri, where she has been a varsity goalkeeper on the highly competitive Park Hill High School team since her freshman year. During her time there Park Hill has won conference, once district championship, and has twice been runner-up for conference and district titles, and has been ranked in the Missouri Coaches State Top 15 poll. Condit has played for the Kansas City Strikers "Wolves" as well as the Kansas City Legends. She has also traveled to Scotland and Wales to compete in two international tournaments. She is very active in her church youth group and has served as Counselor in Training for two years at Junior High camp. She has also provided teaching ministry at her home congregation, the Highlands. Kia has helped coach 2 youth soccer teams and 2 volleyball teams, which she hopes will help her future ambition to be a teacher and/or coach. "I am really excited about attending Graceland," said Condit. "After considering other universities, Graceland is the place I want to be. I am thrilled to move forward in a place I can best grow as a soccer player and as a person". Coach Wagenaar said of Kia, "Kia brings a very exuberant personality to the field. It is a pleasure to coach players such as Kia who so evidently just loves playing the game of soccer. Kia is a fierce competitor and a fearless ‘keeper."
