2020 HighlightsLubbock Tournamen...Nationals Tournam...2021 HighlightsPersonal Statement
Hi, I'm Caitlyn! I am a class of 2022 defensive specialist and outside hitter. I played varsity as a freshman at Americas High School and have been named academic all district all three years. I was awarded a spot on the Honorable Mention All-District Team my sophomore year. I have a 4.38 GPA and ranked 6th in my class out of 619, placing me in the top 1%. I received a 1270 on my recent SAT. Since I was a little girl, my ultimate goal was to play collegiate volleyball. I am a perfectionist, meaning I am very persistent and will not give up until I have a skill or task accomplished to the best of my ability. I like to say that my father has instilled in me to be the best at everything I do and to always give 110% effort. With that being said, I am a very motivated, passionate, and driven athlete. I perform very well under pressure and am willing to take charge on the court. In the future, I plan on studying biochemistry/pre-medicine and becoming a psychiatrist. I am looking forward to getting to know your program more!
