Katie Ladd '15 Recruiting Profile

I am a Junior at Smith Valley High School, I have always grown up in a rural area with high schools that have a TOTAL of 60 kids! Its my dream to play college volleyball, i will literally do anything to achieve that dream! I have been on varsity ever since I was a freshman (I have always been a starter, not to mention every year my high school team has made it to the state championships), and I have been playing club volleyball at the Silver State Volleyball Club in Carson City Nevada for 5 years and every year that I have tried out at Silver State I made the Black team (the best team in my age group, and last year my club team made it into the Gold bracket in the Far westerns tournament in Reno). I am also a starter on my club team as well. As of right now I'm undecided about schools or what field i want to study, but I am definitely working on that! I'm also a very very competitive player, I do NOT like to lose and I am not afraid to break any bones to make sure we win! I'm also very aggressive, to the point where my coach has had to tell me to be less aggressive. I'm also extremely smart, even though I am only a Junior, I am taking a college level math course (which I have an A in) called Math 120, and I'm also in AP Literature which I am also very ahead in, all my grades have been A's and B's my whole school career.
