Tessa Wyner '18 Recruiting Profile

I want to continue to develop my physical/technical skills, as well as my knowledge and understanding of the game. As Captain this past travel season, I had the opportunity to grow in my leadership on and off the court. This past high school season, I met my goal to help GWHS win our state championship! I have two years left of high school volleyball and I plan to work every year toward winning that championship again! The setter and I were the team’s only six rotation players, and our team set a school record of 65-1-1. For all of those games, I was only off the court one time for about two minutes. I feel I have grown significantly in handling both the physical and mental pressures associated with that kind of record. I grew this year in playing defense and hitting. In college, I want to make a significant contribution to my team in winning a conference title and a place in the NCAA tournament. It is important to me to play with teammates with these same goals and a never give up attitude. This past high school season has taught me a lot about perseverance and payoffs!! Plus, I want to be a team on and off the court – always supporting members of my team. Academics are also very important to me and I want to attend a school where I can pursue my areas of interest and prepare for a successful future and possibly graduate school.
