Micah Syswerda '21 Recruiting Profile

Being a part of my school's varsity team during my freshman season signified a turning point in my athletics. As the sole freshman on the team, I quickly learned the value of leadership. After our senior setter was injured, I was forced to step in and lead the team running a 5-1 on a team with 7 seniors.  My sophomore season was assumed by most to be a "rebuilding season," considering we lost 7 seniors.  Instead, we achieved significant team success, becoming conference champions for the first time since 1996 and making a regional final (falling to the eventual state-runner up).  Personally, I was fortunate to have had good hitters as teammates and set my school's single-season assist mark in my first full year setting varsity.  I wait in anticipation to see where the team is headed in my final two years of high school, while honing my setting skills at Sports Performance Volleyball Club (SPVB).

I am looking for a program that has a high standard for academics as well as a competitive edge on the court against elite competition. With my background of both high school and SPVB club experience, I believe I possess the talent, character, work ethic, and leadership skills to make a lasting, positive impact on your program.
