Aimee Funk is a senior setter for Goesse,l who was a pivotal piece for the Bluebirds last year after they finished 30-10.
Funk has been playing volleyball since she was in third grade and has seen herself progress year after year, thanks to all four sports she plays throughout the year.
“Aimee is a very hard worker and has put a lot of effort into transitioning into a quality setter from a defensive specialist role as a freshman,” head coach Crysta Guhr said. “Her athletic ability allows her to get to about any ball in the gym.”
The senior hit 1,000 career assists a season ago and was named to the all-league first team, but has a lot more personal goals for her senior season.
“Some of my personal goals this season would definitely be trying to hit 1000 digs this year,” Funk said. “Since I’m a setter, I don’t technically get a lot, but I have a good shot at hitting it. Another personal goal that I have is also getting 1500 or more set assists, which I think is possible.”
Funk is a hard worker who has always put her team first and will make sure to do more of the same this year.
“One team goal I have this year is going to state,” Funk said. “My team has been so close every year since my freshman year. We’ve lost in the sub-state championship game every year to the reigning state champs, Little River. So my team and I are really determined this year.”
