2/4/23 Club MAVA ...2021-2022 Club Se...2022 HS Season Hi...2023 HS Season Hi...Personal Statement
I LOVE volleyball and have been playing competitively since 5th grade. I look forward to continuing my volleyball career at the college level with the ultimate goal of pursuing a career in Nursing. I am a team-first player who gives maximum effort on the court and in the classroom. I am a playmaker who adds position versatility after earning the opportunity to play OP/DS/6-way my Sophomore year in order to fill a position of need for our team. During my Junior year, I LOVED returning to my primary position of setter, as Central Hardin dominated while playing the second toughest schedule in the state, winning the 17th District and 5th Region titles, and finishing #6 in the final KVCA state poll.

- Nominated one of Top 5 All Around Players by WKU Coaching staff: Katelynn Vest- This Central Hardin sophomore, Katelynn Vest, showed that she was one of the top all-around volleyball players in the gym. I had the privilege to coach Vest at WKU Elite camp back in June, and she was a star setter for my team. Vest's ability to run an offense is unlike any other and knows how to run tempo, to the pin at such an early age. Plus, she is constantly communicating with her hitters on what they need and proving to be a leader on the floor. The big kicker though was when I saw her hitting right side for the very talented and successful Lady Bruins squad. Katy was stepping into the serve receive pattern passing two and then hitting with power in the front row. It just shows how talented Katy is as a volleyball player that she can perform at a high level from every angle, no questions asked. Vest is just invested to get better, and that's what I love about her.... Sorry, Kati, for the pun. It was too good just like you.
