Reaching For The Stars

Reagan Wilkerson’s whole life is volleyball. She was a starter on the varsity team as a sophomore and is now doing club. Reagan was one of RHS’ setters and absolutely killed it this year alongside the team. Volleyball takes up most of her time, however Reagan tries to get involved with our school as much as possible. She loves her classes, makes friends wherever she goes, and gets along with everyone.

“Right now I’m just doing club volleyball because it basically takes up all of my time. I have practice almost everyday and it’s usually for 2 or 3 hours. I also have tournaments almost every weekend,” said Wilkerson.

Obviously she is working super hard. Reagan juggles all of her school work and her volleyball which she takes very seriously. Speaking of school, RHS has made a huge impact on Reagan’s life- from the teachers, to her friends. They have all helped her get through these first two years of highschool. Reagan met a lot of her friends from volleyball. There really is a special bond that comes with being teammates. Reagan came from Ripon Christan so she was new as a freshman, but made friends super easily, now fitting in perfectly. 

` “Highschool has really helped me open up and become more comfortable. It’s really just a big social event for me everyday because I’m friends with everyone. The school part…. I don’t like it very much but I get through it. Teachers that really help me the most are Clev, Mussmen, and Williams. They really care about me and care about my well being,” said Reagan. 

After highschool, Reagan doesn’t really know what career she wants to major in but she knows she still wants volleyball to be a part of her life. She really wants a scholarship to a good school but her main dream is to play in the olympics. It will be a challenge but she is already so amazing so she definitely has a shot as long as she keeps working hard. 

I don’t really have a plan for the future but I am trying to go to college volleyball and then the Olympics maybe if I really want to. I think I will just figure it out on the way
