Olympia CUSD 16

What a day for Olympia Volleyball! Yesterday our Varsity team battled their way through a full day of competition at the Knight Invitational hosted by Fieldcrest High School — and came out CHAMPIONS! The girls worked so hard to earn their spot in the championship match and finished strong to bring home the title. A couple highlights from the day: Myra Books went on an incredible 11-point service run in the semifinal match! Abigail Goodman recorded her first-ever kill while stepping into the front row! The entire team showed unmatched hustle and grit, never letting a ball hit the floor without a fight. We are beyond proud of the fight, energy, and teamwork shown by every single player. A big thank you as well to our amazing parents and fans who stuck with us and cheered loud during a long day of volleyball — your support means the world!
