Washington’s 2025-26 Wheat Ambassadors Isabella Huntley and Luke Goetz

Isabella Huntley

Huntley is the daughter of Tara and Jason Huntley. She is a senior at Colfax High School in Colfax, Wash. She plays volleyball, basketball, and softball and is heavily involved in FFA. In fact, her team ended up placing second in the nation for ag sales this year, while individually, she placed first. In her free time, she enjoys baking, playing the piano and flute, spending time with family and friends and helping out around her family’s farm.

Huntley is planning a career in the medical field. She hasn’t decided where she’ll be attending college, but she’s certain it will be out of state. She said she’s taking the opportunity to experience different parts of the country and broaden her perspectives before returning to the Palouse and hopefully settling close to home.
