knapplc Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Three former Huskers - Jordan Larson, Kelsey Robinson and Justine Wong-Orontes, have made the 12-woman Tokyo roster. 25% of the team are former Huskers. Not bad. 1 2 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 U.S. Olympic roster Outside hitter: Jordan Larson (Nebraska), Michelle Bartsch-Hackley (Illinois), Kim Hill (Pepperdine), Kelsey Robinson (Nebraska). Opposite hitter: Annie Drews (Purdue), Jordan Thompson (Cincinnati). Middle blocker: Foluke Akinradewo Gunderson (Stanford), Haleigh Washington (Penn State), Chiaka Ogbogu (Texas). Setter: Micha Hancock (Penn State), Jordyn Poulter (Illinois). Libero: Justine Wong-Orantes (Nebraska). Alternate players: Kathryn Plummer (Stanford), Tori Dixon (Minnesota), Lauren Carlini (Wisconsin), Hannah Tapp (Minnesota), Sarah Wilhite Parsons (Minnesota), Megan Courtney (Penn State). Here's the full roster. Not only are 25% of the Olympic team Huskers, eight (66%) are from the Big Ten. There are six alternates, five of whom are from the Big Ten. That means of the 18 players on the roster and alternate list, 13 are from the Big Ten, nearly 75%. It's no wonder this is such a tough conference to win. 1 2 Quote Link to comment
