Limbaugh has made tremendous strides since last club season, when an injury slowed her development for a spell. The process is well back on course if her play at the USAV Iowa Regionals during late March was any indication. The Algona freshman was one of the most impactful pins in the event that saw her Six Pack team place second and earn an American Division bid to this summer’s USAV Nationals in Indianapolis. Limbaugh grew taller since I saw her during the last club campaign, and her arms appear to keep getting longer. Agility and athleticism also are on the rise for the daughter of former Nebraska All-American Amber (Holmquist) Limbaugh. Kate’s father, Jack Limbaugh Sr., was a Husker offensive lineman. Kate continues increasing the power in her swing and is on a great trajectory in that area. She’s also becoming much more consistent on the block, to the point where it regularly impacts matches. The ninth-grader led the Bulldogs with 387 kills (.265) and ranked second in blocks (34.0) this past fall.
