Personal Statement

My name is Cheyenne Horst.  I have three collegiate goals, which include:  1) focus on academic excellence, 2) earn a position on a collegiate volleyball team and 3) build my leadership and teamwork skills.  I am a senior at George Ranch High School.  I was honored to be the DS starter on the George Ranch High School volleyball team for the 2015 season.

For the 2016 season, our high school team moved to 6A.  I am the starting Libero for my high school team.  Recently (August 2016), I was honored to be chosen as 'Most Valuable Libero' in the Texas Spring Branch Volleyball Tournament.  In addition, I was named to the Texas Spring Branch 'All Tournament Team."  In addition, I received Academic All District Team and All District Second Team honors.

My high school volleyball team competed in the 2015 TEXAS 5A STATE Championship!  In addition, I was named to the District 24 -5A Academic All District Team,  All District Honorable Mention, as well as the Fort Bend Herald All Area Volleyball Team.   Currently, I am the starting Libero on my high school team.  Last year, I was starting DS for my high school team.  I have played on Club Volleyball teams for the past seven years.  In club, I have played Libero and DS positions extensively and outside hitter occasionally. I have attended several large tournaments, including AAU (Orlando), The Windy City National Qualifier (Chicago), LoneStar Classic (San Antonio) and the Cross Road Qualifier (Denver), just to name a few.  I have also participated on several summer leagues and Texas A&M volleyball camp.    As an athlete, I am very focused and passionate about the game of volleyball.  I strive to work hard on technique, skills, focus, leadership and teamwork. 

My GPA is approximately 95% out of a 100% scale.   Lastly, I have been a class representative for our high school student council, active member of the National Honor Society,  senior leader for Young Life and volunteered for Attack Poverty, as well as a Kindergarten Sunday School teacher for the past 2 years.  Lastly, I am the only student to participate in the TEXAS STATE competition for ART, for GRHS.  My personal goal is to attend a strong academic college with the opportunity to play on a college volleyball team.
