With fast feet and a steady head on her shoulders, Hailey Van Lith has navigated the college basketball world with ease and purpose, which is why she is April’s SI Swimsuit Digital Cover Star presented by Batiste and photographed in Fort Worth, Texas. "I feel sexy, and cute and athletic. You can be strong and beautiful, and all athletes should feel empowered," says Van Lith in this highlight of her photo shoot on set with SI Swimsuit.
