ORLANDO, FL – The Columbus High School volleyball team has been performing at a high level for the past several seasons with many deep postseason runs. Their success is the result of the hard work the Lady Cards apply toward their craft, especially during the offseason. This summer has been no different as a quartet of Lady Cards competed in the AAU Junior National Volleyball Tournament during their summer ball play with their respective AAU teams. Ally Tribe, Claire Klausmeyer, Gracie Schobel and Caylie Neisner all competed well in the national tournament as they each contributed to their respective teams claiming a top three placement in the competition.
Tribe and Klausmeyer competed together in the 18u division against a field of 60 other teams in the tournament. After some difficult matches and strong contributions from both players, the Lady Cards helped contribute to their team taking third place in their division. Tribe was named to the tournament’s All-Star team following her run through the competition.
The other duo of Lady Cards, Neisner and Schobel, had an even more imposing competition ahead as they climbed through the ranks of a division with over 180 teams attending. The 15u division also featured intense competitions as the large field of teams battled for the tournament’s top placements. Neisner and Schobel assisted their team as the squad played their way to a top three placement. They came away with the bronze medal after placing in third out of 183 teams. Schobel earned All-Star honors following her performance.
