The Audubon Wheelers volleyball team is a young group that continues to strive for improvement as the season progresses. Although the record may not be what they had hoped, they continue to play with intensity. Head coach Brandi Gruhn says she’s proud of the way her team has competed through tough competition.

The Wheelers have a roster loaded with up-and-coming talent. However, Alissa Testroet and Peyton Gust are the team’s only two seniors. Both have been with the program all four years, and Coach Gruhn stated their leadership has been invaluable to her team

With the seniors providing the veteran experience, Audubon’s junior class is big, talented, and leading the way statistically.  First-year setter Anna Larsen is fifth in the Western Iowa Conference in assists with  292.  Teammate Harlow Miller is a conference leader both offensively and defensively. She currently leads the conference with 206 kills and ranks second in the conference in blocks. Gruhn not only appreciates their heart and hustle but also their ability to work together.

As with every team, the Wheelers have some improvements that need to be made. However, Coach Gruhn likes the attitude her squad brings to the table.

The Wheelers will face the Treynor Cardinals at home tonight.
