Alaina Kunes '26 Recruiting Profile

I have had a passion for volleyball from a very young age when I watched my aunts play in college.  One was a Middle Hitter like me for the UW Milwaukee Panthers and the other was a highly recruited Libero for the University of Texas San Antonio Roadrunners.  She played all 5 years and even in Europe! Volleyball has helped me build so many amazing relationships with teammates from many different schools and walks of life.  The friendships I have forged in Club will continue for a long time to come.  I learned a lot about leadership this past season as the Captain of the Lakes Juniors 16 Select team, I pride myself on being loud and hyping my team every chance I get.  I hope to continue my club career and plan on trying out for a National team this year.  My High School career started this year and I was able to contribute to our Junior Varsity team as a Freshman and also helped out on Varsity from time to time.  I also am heavily involved in 4H where I raise swine, sheep, poultry, and rabbits.  Life is busy but I love it and the lessons Volleyball is teaching me. I will ALWAYS put in the work necessary to better myself and my team.  I am very strong in my faith and volunteer with Church and youth camps.  Academically I am very involved in AVID to help me develop good study habits for further education and allow me to explore future leadership opportunities.
