Katie Parnell '17 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to attend college and get a business or marketing degree, while playing volleyball.  Important areas of my life are faith, family, academics, and volleyball. My 4 years of playing club volleyball at A5 Volleyball Club have taught me so many important life lessons and I am looking forward to another great year on the A5 17-2 team.  My first year with A5, I was on the 13-2 team that won four tournaments. My 2nd year, I was on the 14-2 team that earned a bid to the 2013 USAV Jr. National Championships. In 2015, I was on the A5 16-2 team which had top 10 finishes at the following tournaments: Bluegrass Pre Qualifier, Mid East Qualifer, Big South, and the Disney Qualifier.  My team secured a national bid to 2015 USAV Junior Nationals in New Orleans.  In 2013, I was only 1 of 2 freshman on the St. Pius X Catholic High School's varsity volleyball team that won the Class 3A volleyball state championship.  As a starter on my high school team in the Fall of 2015, I helped lead my team to a state runner up finish in Class 4A and was selected to the All Area team.   Because of my drive and determination, I will be an asset to any college volleyball team.
