NIACC's Meister to play next fall at Wartburg
MASON CITY – NIACC's first-team all-American Kennedy Meister will play volleyball next season at Wartburg College.
Meister signed with the four-year school in Waverly on Monday.
Meister, a 5-foot-9 inch sophomore from Janesville, became NIACC's first first-team all-American in the sport of volleyball as the outside hitter was selected to the NJCAA Division II first-team all-American team. Meister is the second volleyball all-American in school history.
Meister was instrumental in guiding the Lady Trojans to an overall record of 31-10 and a berth in the NJCAA Region XI-B title match. The Lady Trojans placed second in the ICCAC in the regular season and hosted the NJCAA Region XI-B tournament.
Meister led NIACC with 581 kills in the 2019 season, which is tied for first with Hannah Wagner (2018) on the school's all-time single-season list. Meister also accumulated 573 digs (tied for fourth on the school's single-season list), 66 ace serves and 55 blocks.
Meister was selected as the ICCAC offensive player of the week for the week of Sept. 30-Oct. 6.
She is the school's all-time leader in kills with 989 and first in career digs with 1,146.
