Mulvane’s Lexi Cunningham has been playing volleyball for over eight years of her life and now as a senior, she is ready to make some dreams come true.
“Lexi is a highly driven individual who strives to show leadership through her physical performance,” head coach Jennifer Long said. “She has evolved as an athlete and individual the past two years I have coached and will be a core element in the success of our season.”
The senior is a big and skillful outside hitter for the Wildcats who makes plays whenever she gets a touch on the ball.
“My goals for the year are to be a strong team leader, make a league mention at the end of the season, and have the best last season I can,” Cunningham said. “I have the ability to be unphased by challenging hard teams, but also able to bounce right back after a bad play or any adversity I may face.”
The senior accumulated 152 digs, 113 kills and 25 blocks last season when she was named an all-league honorable mention hitter.
The stats aren’t the only thing on her mind though as she is also taking on a lot as a leader for the Wildcats.
“As a leader this year I plan to spread positivity, lead change, inspire those around me, and ultimately help leave Mulvane Volleyball a better program all together,” Cunningham said. “(I want) everyone to unite and work as one, I would also like to make it to state this year as a team.”
