Keniah’s weekend was defined by energy, tempo, and defense, and she made it clear she wanted to be fierce. As a setter, she pushed herself to take her defense to a new level and bring faster pace, and she credits that combination for helping her team reach the championship and go 10 and 0. Next, she is focused on consistency while keeping that fast tempo, a key target for setters who want to run an offense that holds up against elite serving pressure. Off the court, she is proudly outgoing and just earned her driver’s permit, a milestone that always feels like freedom.

Keniah’s next tournament is NCVA Power League in San Mateo, January 31 to February 1.
