Alessandra Vedder is a senior volleyball player at Collegiate High School. The middle blocker/hitter loves playing with this group of girls.
“Everyone is willing to work hard at practice and we all share the same passion for the game of volleyball. I love the energy and enthusiasm we bring to the court, along with the memories we make,” said Vedder. “My favorite memory was senior night. After being announced with the other seniors, we all hugged and just enjoyed that moment together as a team.”
Simply returning to school and competition was a big moment for the senior.
“As my last season, I was very eager to come back and compete. We have a lot of talent this year and I was very excited to play with my old and new teammates. I am very thankful the opportunity was still given to us even with everything going on around the world. We all are very excited to be back, whether it’s on the court or in the weight room,” said Vedder. “Being able to represent my school through volleyball has been a great honor and experience. Showing our attitude and perseverance through this sport truly contributes to the values my school tries to teach.”
After she graduates, Vedder plans to attend college as a student-athlete and pursue a degree and career in medicine.
