Alana Carolan '21 Recruiting Profile

I am a hard working team leader and competitor. I am a team player and always encourage my teammates to be the best version of themselves, both in athletics and in the world around them. With my strong appearance in academics holding a weighted GPA of 4.43, I would like to attend a respected university where my primary focus will be to earn a degree in aerospace engineering. In addition, I also want to play competitive D1-D3 volleyball and will be a solid contributor to your team. I am coachable, have a strong volleyball IQ, am always learning, and easily create strong bonds with my teammates both on and off the court. In my sixth year for both school and club, and as captain or co-captain of every team for the past five years, I know how to motivate my team to come together, create momentum, and win. We are currently in SCVA Division 2 (Top 32) and my team last year won 1st place (16 American) at the 2019 Far Western Qualifier in Reno (obtaining a bid to JO's) and also won 2019 SCVA Las Vegas Classic (16 Club) (128 teams). I am primarily a setter now, but know how to get a kill at any spot. I also love to block! I am the starting setter for both club and varsity where I was selected first team all league (CIF Div 4) and received recognition as a scholar athlete. I really enjoy and excel at both school and volleyball and am excited to play at the next level.
