Claremont High School 2009 graduate Nikki Lowell made a huge splash on the volleyball court at Seattle Pacific University this season as the middle blocker became an All-American and helped lead the team to one of its best seasons in school history.


“I’m shocked. It’s an honor and I didn’t expect it,” Lowell said in a released statement. “I just went with the flow and just played volleyball.”


Along with her “All-American” distinction, the red-shirt freshman was also named the All-Great Northwest Athletic Conference’s (GNAC) Rookie of the Year and was selected to the All GNAC Conference's First Team. Her .382 hitting percentage was the highest in school history and ranked her first among all players in the Northwest Athletic Conference and 13th in Division II of the NCAA.


Congratulations to Lowell for her success on the court. Check Saturday's COURIER for a fuller story on her and check below for YouTube clips on the freshman sensation.
