DAYTON, Ohio – University of Dayton volleyball Head Coach Kelly Sheffield announced the addition of Under Armour High School All-American Jenna Jendryk to the 2012 roster on Thursday.
“Jenna is a great addition to our team and I'm excited to have her in our gym,” Sheffield said. “I've watched her play for four years and have seen her grow into quite a player – someone who has improved every year.”
Jendryk, a 6-foot right-side/outside hitter, was a three-year starter for Benet Academy and helped the Redwings capture the 2011 IHSA Class 4A State Championship and reach a No. 8 national ranking (ESPN).
During her senior year she was named Benet’s offensive player of the year, Under Armour Honorable Mention All-America by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA), No. 93 on PrepVolleyball’s Top 100 Senior Aces and one of 12 players listed on the Chicago Sun-Times All-Area team.
“Jenna can hit with power on both pins and she can also set – having run a 6-2 on some of her past teams,” Sheffield said. “When you watch her play, you can see that she is as competitive as they come and it is obvious that she absolutely loves playing the game. Jenna is in a group of newcomers that have the potential to be one heck of a class.”
As a member of one of the premier clubs in the nation at Sports Performance, Jendryk helped her age group win an AAU 18-Club National Championship in 2011 and was named an AAU All-American in the 18-Club Division that same year.
Sports Performance has also produced recent Flyers including sophomore Brigid Campbell, senior Paige Vargas and 2010 AVCA All-American Jessica Yanz. Like Jendryk, Vargas is a graduate of Benet Academy (2009).
Jendryk is the fourth member of coach Sheffield’s 2012 recruiting class which also includes defensive specialist Janna Krafka, middle hitter Jill Loiars and outside hitter Alaina Turner.
The Flyers open the 2012 season on Aug. 24 against Illinois during the Flyer Classic.
