The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) released its 2011 All-American teams and three Western Wyoming Community College Mustangs were listed. Makayla Keck and Olivera Medic were 1st Team and Arielle Allen was on the 2nd Team.
"The awards continue to come in for our team and it is really exciting to see our players rewarded for their success on the court," head coach Rick Reynolds said. "We always discuss that the better our team does on the court, the more likely we are to receive individual awards. Each of these students has done an amazing job of representing WWCC and it is good to see them rewarded for their play on the court."
"The AVCA has done a great job of creating an awards program to emphasize academic and athletic achievement in the sport of volleyball," stated Reynolds when asked about the AVCA awards. "Our goal every year with the Mustang program is to have a 3.3 GPA because of the AVCA Award. It is our benchmark. I am appreciative of their emphasis of both on and off the court achievement."
Keck, Medic, and Allen received All-American recognition from the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) last week. The Mustangs finished the season 39-3 and 2nd at the NJCAA National Championship.
