Elli Mueller-Thode '26 Recruiting Profile

As a well rounded, fierce competitor with a winning mindset, the prospect of playing college level volleyball, combined with my absolute love for the game, fuels my desire to step on the court each day. I've been described by several coaches as a natural leader with a competitive edge. This combination has enabled me to lead multiple teams to a league championship as captain, as well as being selected for both the Coaches Choice, and the Athlete of The Year Award in 2023. Along with being named my 2024 and 2025 club team MVP, I was also awarded with Centennial High School's grade 10 Athlete of the Year, Girls Volleyball MVP, and Top Student in Sports Performance. With this, I have proven my coachability with my willingness to learn, and my ability to execute on the court. As a multisport athlete who has played everything from golf, basketball, to field hockey, my passion for volleyball skyrocketed in the 8th grade. 

Since then, I crave being on the court, but continue to focus on my academics, as I believe that combining high level athletics with high level academics is what will pave my path to success. As a consistent honor roll student with a current GPA of 84.00, I can positively contribute to your school on an academic, athletic, and social level, especially with my wicked sense of humor. 

As my potential grows as a volleyball player, I am confident that I can turn my ambitions into reality, and can't wait for the opportunity to represent an amazing school as a top athlete, and student.
