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.

Kate Limbaugh Kate Limbaugh OH Algona | 2029 IA ‘s numbers are extremely impressive.  She has 249 kills in 50 sets played which means she is averaging nearly five kills per set.  Limbaugh not only leads the Bulldogs in kills, but she also leads the team in blocks and service aces. They are currently second in the North Central Conference behind Humboldt.  Limbaugh, along with the rest of her team could be ones to watch in years to come as they only have one senior on the squad.  They will be opening tournament play next week when they take on Southeast Valley.
