Wichita State student-athlete Deja Young was highlighted in a article as she prepares to compete in the 2016 Rio Paralympics.

Deja Young has a deformity.

It never goes away. It鈥檚 been with her since birth, when her delivery went awry and a panicked doctor, she says, pulled on her head too hard and caused a dislocated right shoulder.

That right shoulder still bothers Young, a Wichita State sprinter who is in Rio de Janeiro this week to compete in the 2016 Paralympics in the 100 and 200 meters.

鈥淚t鈥檚 an amazing opportunity,鈥� Young said. 鈥淚鈥檓 super excited for the opportunity of representing the United States in something I love.鈥�
