Inman volleyball’s Suttyn Harris is one of the best, if not the best, juniors in the state of Kansas. Harris has played volleyball since she was in fourth grade, first starting to play more competitively when she got into middle school. Now, the junior is the starting outside hitter for the Teutons and is etching her name in the
history books one game at a time. “She has a strong work ethic and an amazing attitude towards her teammates,” head coach Kathy Russell said. “I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to coach such a determined young lady.”
Thanks to all of the high-level volleyball Harris plays during the offseason, Russell knows she can always count on the outside hitter. “She understands the game, and she knows what it takes to be successful,” Russell said. “She works very hard for her teammates and is a dominant server. All her hard work is paying off.” In her young career, Harris has racked up 1095 kills, 192 blocks, 540 digs, and 126 aces, all before her last two seasons, one of the many reasons she has committed to the University of Utah. The junior is the school record holder for individual kills, most points scored, and most kills in a match. For Harris, the next step in her development has come on the court and as a leader. “Leadership is very important to me, and plan on leading by example,” Harris said. “We have had a great summer and have all worked hard to improve our game. Our team would agree that we have goals to win another league title and make a run in the state tournament.”
