A Kansas high school volleyball star, and future Kansas Jayhawk, will be suiting up for the U19 United States National Team later this month.

 

Taylor Stanley is a senior right side hitter from Blue Valley Southwest High School, and has been officially named to the Team USA roster for the International Volleyball Federation U21 World Championship in Surabaya, Indonesia. Stanley has been training with the National Team Development Program for the past two years, and now becomes the only athlete from Kansas selected to the squad.

 

Stanley and the roster of 12 will compete against China, Mexico, Korea, Croatia, and the Dominican Republic in their pool play matchups, which run through August 11th.

 

Stanley stands 6-foot-3 and is entering her senior season at Blue Valley SW. She is committed to continue her volleyball career in Lawrence.
