Lauren Heller has been playing volleyball for eight years. In 4th grade she tried school volleyball, and loved it! By 5th grade, she began playing club volleyball as well. The past four seasons she has played for Vision Volleyball Club. Lauren has played in four Junior Nationals championships; three times finishing in the top 10 in the highest division. She also had the opportunity to play for USA’s Indoor Volleyball High Performance program for three years. In 2014, she made M-A’s varsity team as the only freshman. Her teammates continue to call Lauren “freshman” this season. She has a good sense of humor about it! Lauren plays beach volleyball when she is not too busy on the court. She has kept a 3.8-4.0 GPA throughout her three years at Menlo-Atherton. She hopes that the M-A program will continue to be successful this season as well as the following season when Lauren is a senior.
