APSU Nursing Student appears on “The Price is Right”

October 24, 2009 |

Kayla Mikel

What happened to Austin Peay State University student Kayla Mikel back in July? The 20-year-old nursing major isn’t saying much. Among the few details she’s let slip out is she took a trip to California to visit family, and while on the west coast, she attended a taping of “The Price is Right.”

When she speaks about her experience on the TV game show, her words are halting and cautious, but her voice grows a pitch higher. She is legally obligated not to say how she did on the show until it airs at 10 a.m., Oct. 27. But Mikel is gathering friends and family to watch the broadcast that day on the big screen at Einstein Bros. Bagels inside the APSU Morgan University Center.

“I’m excited it’s finally going to air,” she said. “I’ve started counting down the days.”

Mikel traveled from her hometown of Cleveland, Tenn., to California this summer to visit her sister and brother-in-law. Before leaving, her mother, Sheryl Taylor, went online and ordered tickets for the family to be audience members on “The Price is Right.” «Read the rest of this article»
