Volleyball Players Pulling Double Duty This Spring in T&F

<p>We love multi-sport athletes! I also love track and field! So as I’m scrolling through results over the last couple of weeks it’s fun to see athletes who are signed, sealed, and delivered to college programs in the near future also doing big things on the track or in the field. Here are some athletes who stand out.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="102445" first="Vanessa" last="Polk"]</strong></p> <p>The top player in the Class of 2022 in Missouri is also the best shot putter having won the Shot Put competition this weekend in Jefferson City. She won the competition by close to two feet with a put of 44-3 1/4 on her third toss. Impressive to say the least. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="99217" first="Madi" last="Corf"]</strong></p> <p><span style="font-size: 1rem;">A constant at the state competition in the high jump, Corf in her final season grabbed a third-place finish with two other competitors. She jumped 5-3 and has a jump of 5-6 this season. </span></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="41825" first="Isabel" last="Zimmerman"]</strong></p> <p>Bel Zimmerman, high school rivals with Corf went at it in the high jump this season also. Zimmerman finished 10th in the state competition with a jump of 4-11.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="123460" first="Grace" last="O’Reilly"]</strong></p> <p>We went and checked out the Class 3 results and found a state champion at Springfield Catholic. [player_tooltip player_id="123460" first="Grace" last="O’Reilly"], the talented volleyball player showed she has bunnies winning the high jump title jumping 5-6.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="150937" first="Hanna" last="Vorhies"]</strong></p> <p>Ozark senior Vorhies just missed grabbing a medal in Class 5 Long Jump finishing in 9th place. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="151249" first="Payton" last="Mitchell"]</strong></p> <p>The Blair Oaks state champion defender just missed the finals in Class 3. She went 50.17 in the 300 hurdles for a 9th-place finish. </p> <p><strong>Mya Grimes, [player_tooltip player_id="102451" first="Caroline" last="Beckmann"], [player_tooltip player_id="119208" first="Avery" last="McVicker"]</strong></p> <p>The Class 3 Triple Jump was full of volleyball players. Grimes walked away with a runner-up finish representing Metro High School. Her last jump of 36-8 1/4 was the best of the day. The Eldon volleyball star showed she has three solid phases in the triple jump finishing 3rd in Class 3. She hit a 35-11 1/2 jump on her final attempt to secure the bronze medal. Setter and jumper McVicker jumped her way to a 6th place finish. The Missouri Western signee scored three points for her Cameron team. </p> <p>There are potentially many more we missed as we glanced through results and saw names we immediately recognized. Congratulations to all athletes competing in their spring sports. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
