Born and raised in eastern PA, Ryann attended Methacton H.S. prior to Kansas State University, where she majored in Psychology and is currently completing a Master's in Kinesiology. While competing for the Wildcats, Ryann took three Big 12 Championships: Outdoor 400 hurdles in 2011, the 2012 Indoor Pentathlon, and 2012 Outdoor Heptathlon. Additionally, in 2011, she earned honors as the NCAA Champion in the Heptathlon. Krais currently trains in Manhattan, KS and balances her workouts and competition with a part-time position with Kansas State Athletics and her graduate school work and assistantships.

Admittedly, Ryann could spend all day on the track due to her love of training. In her free time away from competition, training, school, and work, Ryann loves to spend time with her Golden Retriever/Great Pyreneese shelter dog Crash. They enjoy hiking through the woods, though Crash is not a runner. Ryann has a strong religious foundation as a Christian and her mother as a Lutheran Pastor; you can often find her enjoying K-love music. Ryann wants to be able to use her athletic platform to help others by making connections and getting involved.
