Three Mustangs Named All American by NJCAA

The 2011 NJCAA All-American lists were released and the Western Wyoming Community College Mustangs were well represented. Arielle Allen, Makayla Keck, and Olivera Medic received recognition from the NCAA Division I Volleyball Committee.

Keck and Medic were named to the First Team. Allen was recognized on the Second Team. For Medic, this is her second First Team award as she was named for her efforts in 2010.

"This is an amazing honor for our program," head coach Rick Reynolds stated. "Never in our wildest dreams when we started practice did we think we would be receiving this type recognition. This team has believed in each other, work hard on and off the court, and bought in to the Mustang Way. It is because of this we receive these individual awards. I am proud of each of these individuals and thankful for the opportunity to be in their lives the last two years."

All three players were named to the Region IX North All Region Team at the end of the regular season, along with Cori Perrault and Viktorija Teivane. Medic was the Region IX North Player of the Year. Keck was the Region IX North Setter of the Year.

The Mustangs finished the season with a 39-3 record.
