McKenna Wharton ‘16 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

Hi, my name is McKenna Wharton, and I am an Outside / Middle hitter for the class of 2016.  I have been playing volleyball for 6 years; I love playing the game and my knowledge about the game has grown more every year.  My goal is to continue playing volleyball at the collegiate level upon my high school graduation.

I'm looking for a college that will challenge me both academically and athletically.  Academics are important because they provide the building blocks to help prepare me for the future beyond college.  Combined with this, and as important, are the life lessons learned from playing on a team such as working together to achieve a common goal and helping each other reach their potential.  I feel a student athlete will be more prepared to succeed in the real world.  These are just some of the reasons why I want to continue playing volleyball in college.
