Valerie Meissner '15 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Valerie Meissner and I am from Colgate, Wisconsin.  I have just completed my junior year and going to be a senior at Germantown High School.  Ultimately my goal is to play basketball while earning my college degree. I am willing to consider all options because I want to find a college that is the best academic, athletic and social fit. I am loyal, competitive, disciplined and hard working.  It has been a dream of mine to play college basketball at the highest level possible.  I take pride in my work ethic, and spend countless hours in the gym bettering myself as a player.  Academically I have challenged myself with some higher level courses. I am an extremely hard worker in the classroom, and will continue to do so.  I have yet to find a career path, but have narrowed down some options. 

Junior year I led my team to the first conference title in 43 years.  We then went on to win regionals, but lost in sectionals.  We ended up 13-1 in conference play and 19-6 overall.  I was also awarded with an all conference award being Honorable Mention.  As the point guard I led my teammates offensively and defensively.  In crucial game situations I was looked upon to take control and finish games. 

I have been playing AAU basketball since the 8th grade.  I started out playing with WBA Prestige through my sophomore year.  I played on a very good team qualifying for Nationals my first year.  I joined Wisconsin Impact the summer of my junior year and plan to finish my AAU career with them.
