I would like to thank my coaches, donors to the Alice Witte Memorial Scholarship fund and the Homer Foundation for awarding me the Alice Witte Memorial Volleyball Scholarship. I used this generous grant for an amazing volleyball camp experience.
The California camp was led by Marv Dunphy, head coach at Pepperdine University and prior coach of the USA Men’s Olympic volleyball team. Olympian and silver medalist Heather Bown also was on staff, and I was able to work with her personally.  
It was an inspiring trip, and I plan to use the skills I gained to help the Mariners achieve our team goal of playing in the state tournament this season.
