Hannah McElroy '18 Recruiting Profile

I have just finished my 5th year of travel volleyball. I have played for Carolina Select Volleyball Club located in Hickory, NC for 4 out of 5 of those years. During those seasons, I trained as a middle and played in the middle position. My teams had won several tournaments. I played for East Denver Volleyball Club 2 seasons ago located in Denver, NC. During that season my main position was as an outside hitter. I had also played right side and middle when my team needed a player with better timing in those positions. While in high school, I was awarded the MVP offensive player on jv my sophomore year and the coach's award my junior year while on varsity. I was a dual roster my freshman and sophomore years of high school. I have had experience playing both middle and right side in high school. I have been invited to play outside and right side on an extended season with a different team with my current club. Our last tournament is scheduled for June 3rd at the Coastal Classic tournament in Myrtle Beach. 

I have worked hard to keep up good grades so I can attend a college of my choice. I am hoping to complete my undergrad in the biology/pre-med field.  After earning my bachelors, I plan on applying to graduate school in the medical field. 

During the off season, I attend open gyms, camps, private sessions, and stay in shape with home workouts. I also play in 2 person grass tournaments and have placed in the top 2 several times. I was also awarded a National bid the summer of 2015. I have tried a new venture this spring and was a starter for my high school girls lacrosse team. 

I strive to be the best athlete and student I can be. I want to continue to improve. My hope is to earn a college degree while doing what I love. My true passion is volleyball. I love being in a gym with a team and a coach. I believe I will be a great addition to a college team.
