Middle hitter-blocker Madeleine Gates, having just completed a successful senior volleyball season at La Jolla High by leading the Vikings into the second round of the Open Division playoffs, was named Second Team Under Armour High School All-American.
Gates' kill rate during her senior season was 58.8%, with an even 200 kills. For a point of comparison, Ronika Stone, a First Team All-American from San Jose headed to Oregon next year, registered a 46.8% kill rate, much lower than the 6'3" Gates'.
La Jolla's record was 20-11.
Gates, a stellar academic student as well, has accepted a full athletic scholarship to play volleyball at UCLA beginning in 2016-17.
