We would like to take a moment to recognize a very special milestone and a little piece of Irene-Wakonda volleyball history. Sophomore, Reagan Rudd has officially surpassed her 1,000th career set assist! Not only is this an incredible accomplishment, but Reagan is also the first player in Irene-Wakonda history to reach 1,000 career assists, officially setting a new school record! Her commitment to the game, her team, and her own growth is truly something special. To reach this milestone and make school history as just a sophomore, speaks volumes about the athlete she is and the future that lies ahead of her. CONGRATULATIONS, Reagan!! You’ve officially made your mark in Irene-Wakonda volleyball history, and the best part is, you’re just getting started.
