Personal Statement
My name is Emily Harnischfeger. I am currently a Junior, two-year Captain at Penfield High School in Rochester, New York. Penfield High School was a 2014 NYSPHSAA Class AA Division I finalist. I play my club volleyball at VolleyFX where I am a Captain on the 17-1’s Team, Rapture. I am a two-time AVCA Phenom nominee (2014, 2015), consistent All Tournament Team Selectee and received special mention on Prep Volleyball’s Sophomore 79 list.
I am interested in studying Athletic Training and Exercise Science with a potential graduate focus on Physical Therapy. I currently maintain a 94 average in Honors’ Level courses and am recognized as a NY Scholar Athlete.
I am looking to play volleyball at the highest level possible at a University where I would make a strong contribution to a competitive program with a focus on the future.
Throughout my volleyball career, coaches have described me as “hard-working”, "versatile", “focused” and “team-driven”. I have consistently been called a “game changer”!
