Alexa Torres '17 Recruiting Profile

I am a part of the Sudden Impact U16 Thunder Club Volleyball team. My primary position is Outside Hitter or Right Side. I am 5’11” at 15 years old.  I first started volleyball in sixth grade, when my P.E. teacher recognized I had great potential.  He referred me to the high school coaches and I started attending high school camps at age 11.  From there, I continued to play club and high school volleyball. My second year of club volleyball, my team had made it to Nationals. After nationals, I realized my passion for the sport and wanted more competition. Therefore the next year I tried out one age group above mine. For the next three years I played up one age group and continued to be the starting Outside Hitter. During my 2014 club season we won the U16 Junior National Volleyball Championship for the Royal Division, at the ESPN AAU Junior Nationals. Last fall, I played varsity as a freshman and was the first freshman in history at Bothell High School to make varsity. That year, I was a starter at right side and our team went to state and placed 8th. This year I received honorable mention for the 4A KingCo division. I am comfortable with the busy schedule I have year round. While playing sports, being involved with community service and church confirmation classes, I have been able to manage a 3.8 GPA.
