Arrington swaps sports for modeling

As one of the managers for the Cedar Rapids Washington girls basketball team, Alanna Arrington would really rather be out there on the court playing with her friends.

It’s just that she must miss too many practices and games.

A talented multi-sport athlete, she’s swapped her sneakers for high-heels as a full-fledged professional fashion model.

In a career that’s taken off in the past year, the high school junior is under contract with top-flight modeling agencies in St. Louis, Chicago and Los Angeles and soon, she hopes, New York and perhaps even Paris.

Magazine photo shoots and runway shows have taken her from one coast to the other and major cities in between.

She’s had so many far-flung jobs lined up this year that she hasn’t attended any regular classes at school. By a special arrangement worked out last summer, she’s taking a full schedule of courses at Washington online.
