Chloe Niel '23 Recruiting Profile

Hello, My name is Chloe Niel and I live in Eltopia, Wa. I am currently a junior at Connell High School.  Growing up in  “Small Town USA” has fostered my love for being outdoors as well as for agriculture.  I love to ride 4 wheelers/side by sides, go camping, raise pigs and a few years ago I started deer hunting.  I have worked for local hay farmers, operating different kinds of equipment and implements. I have raised and shown pigs in 4H and FFA.  A dream of mine would be to own and operate my own farm one day.  

I am interested in playing competitive volleyball in college while I earn a degree in Agriculture.  I have played club volleyball for over 5 years.  As a freshman, I earned a varsity spot on my high school team.  I was a “starter” as a sophomore and was chosen as team captain my junior year.  During that year, I ranked first on my team in kills and blocks while leading our team to our first state berth in over 10 years.  I was also voted MVP by my teammates and was awarded First Team All-League by other coaches in our league.  Volleyball has always been a motivator of mine, to keep up with my school work as well as to stay out of trouble.   Having an opportunity to continue to play in college would be a huge asset to me in successfully obtaining a college degree. 

In my years at Connell High School, I have also played Varsity Softball, gone to the State Convention for Novice Parliamentary Procedure in FFA and sing in our school’s choir.   I am very involved in school activities and have a good relationship with my teachers.  I have taken a variety of honors and college level classes while maintaining a 3.66 GPA.
