of W’s and Struble and teammates are hopeful this will continue for the team as
they move into post season play.

during this camp. “We have a lot of fun there every year and focused on growing
individually and as a group.”

become a NICU nurse and maybe even a travel nurse for a few years. In addition to
school volleyball, Struble also throws javelin during the spring track season and
plays club volleyball.
