After a very successful season, the Linn-Benton Roadrunner’s volleyball team will spend the off-season working hard to continue where they left off this season. After finishing 4th in the entire NWAACC’s they have set themselves very high expectations to meet next season.
“Our goal is to be better than we were last year, we want to win it all” says freshman middle blocker Kristen Epps. During the off-season the girls focus on school while getting more athletic and understanding more about the game. Three days a week they go thru a personalized workout routine that keeps them in top shape so that they minimize time it takes to get back into competition shape next season.
“The workouts and routines that we do are all functional for volleyball, we focus a lot on our core strength which is most important in any sport” states Katie Benston, a freshman defensive specialist.
This year the Roadrunners are losing eight sophomores that will not be able to return next season. This gives the current freshman a chance to take control and evolve into leaders on the court. With only half of the team graduating, the Roadrunners maintain a good amount of players from last year that will give them an edge over competitors.
