She has also managed to maintain a 4.12 grade point average while staying very active in her youth group at Deer Lake United Methodist Church.

Sydney said that she knew Huntingdon was the place for her when she went to visit there with her parents, Rory and Kayla, in November. She especially loves the fact that it is a Christian college. Sydney is the granddaughter of B.J. and Inda Tinney.
