Gretchen DeLaney '25 Recruiting Profile

I am starting my second year of club and just completed my first year for my high school varsity team. I was originally recruited as an opposite, but believe I have shown more skill and can offer more as a middle. I am always willing to learn and play where needed. My last club director said he enjoyed coaching me because I didn’t have bad habits yet and I am very coachable. I am improving my skills every day in hopes of getting better. It is important to me to be on a team that supports and encourages each other. I have grown a lot and am really excited for the club season to start.

I enjoy the outdoors, skiing and snowboarding, swimming, volleyball, and music. I taught myself to play the guitar and ukulele. I volunteer for the historical society every year at the sawmill in Carrollton, Ohio. I enjoy new places and traveling with my family.

I am completing my junior and senior years at my home school. I had transferred elsewhere, but was not getting any assistance academically when I requested it. I have been actively improving my grades and my GPA. It is important to me to go to college and have a career I can be proud of.

I love competing and look forward to having the opportunity to be a college athlete.
