Kristin Frank, one of the most devoted members on the volleyball team, helped guide her teammates to success this year.

Everyday on the court, Frank was very motivated and worked hard to do her best no matter what came her way. She practiced everyday to help her peers improve themselves and grow as a team.

“Volleyball is such a passion of mine and I love the girls I play with,” said Frank. “Even though we did not make it to states, we improved our record from last year and can only get better.”

At the Shelton game, Frank was at her best, which helped her to win GametimeCT’s Star of the Day.

“My favorite game of the season is definitely the home game against Shelton, we communicated so well during all five matches and it was such a close game,” said Frank. “We had all the energy we needed to play and win while having such an amazing time out on the court.”

Frank’s coaches, Miss Martinich and Ms. Loch, see a lot of potential in her.

“Kristin is the ideal player and works just as hard at practice as she does in games,” said Martinich. “Her aggressiveness on the court saves plays for us and she will be a great candidate for SCC’s next year.”

Frank enjoys playing with her teammates and is a great role model for each one.

“Playing with Kristin has been so much fun, she really is a great leader on the court,” said junior Victoria Contaxis.

She looks forward to playing next year and can’t wait to get started on a new season.

“For the team next year, I am mostly excited for all the younger players getting pulled up to varsity because they all have such great talent to show off,” said Frank. “We need to stay up the whole season and play smart as a team.”

Cassidy Boath, one of Frank’s teammates, plays libero and knows how hard Kristin works to help out the team.

“It’s great to have hardworking teammates like Kristin on the court,” said Boath. “She does whatever she can to set the ball to our hitters no matter where it is on the court.”

Frank tries her best to keep the team ready for what’s to come next. She is constantly communicating with her peers and pushes everyone to do their greatest and succeed.

“Volleyball is a sport with nonstop communication,” said Frank. “When it comes to games and practices I do everything I can to talk during every play so my teammates know where to go on the court.”
