Natalee Kragie '22 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Natalee Kragie, I am 5'3 with a 24.2 in vertical. I have been an outside hitter since my freshman year through my high school, a right-side hitter through my club, and this past year through my school I played a middle! I have been playing volleyball since my 8th-grade year since then I have always felt a drive and love for the sport.  After I started playing this sport I knew it was not something I would want to stop. This sport has helped me through a lot it is my escape and my drive to always push myself since I am so short. What makes me different from other athletes is that I have always been a team player; my freshman year our setter got hurt and I was put there unknowing what I was doing and played a good game because I know my team needed me, this year my senior year we did not have a second middle and without too much prior knowledge on how to play middle I transferred from outside hitter to middle hitter.  The reason I would be a great addition to your team is that I never give up, I never discourage, and I help others achieve their goals while pushing and motivating myself as well. I am dedicated to this sport and all it has to offer me now and in the future.
