Ally Schenk

Volleyball player Ally Schenk cannot imagine her life without volleyball in it. That won’t be a problem anytime soon, since she signed her national letter of intent to play Division II for Fairmont State University.

Schenk said she is eager to take it to the next level with the sport she has been playing for such a long time.

“It is so awesome. I cannot see myself without volleyball because I love it so much,” Schenk said. “I’m really lucky to get to keep playing at the college level.”

School is the top priority for Schenk, though, as she is majoring in national security and intelligence at Fairmont.

“I picked Fairmont because it is one of the only schools that has the specific major I want to study,” Schenk said.

Schenk also said that her friends and family have been looking forward to this day, as they are all excited as well.

“It was really nice to be able to finalize something that my entire family is excited for with me,” Schenk said. “Having everyone there with me to celebrate was so nice.”
