Personal Statement

My name is Alina Strickler and I am currently 17 years old and I am in my Junior year of high school.  My goal is to make the USA Olympic Volleyball team someday.  What makes me different from other prospects is that I excel in both academics and athletics. I take AP classes and currently hold a 3.9 GPA. For athletics, I have been playing volleyball since the 1st grade.  I have received several awards and have become one of the top players in my region winning New Comer of the Year and 1st Team All-District.  My team Won our District and Region and went to the Conference Championship in Texas. I also play beach volleyball and won a bid for the USA Volleyball Junior National Beach Championships.  My middle school team won back-to-back district championships and I have attended the USA Junior National Championships.  Off the court, I go to church and volunteer my time at various places in our community.  Thank you for viewing my profile!
