PREP SPORTS: Breckenridge named to Olympic League 2A volleyball first team; Olympic League 1A girls soccer team

Three Sequim volleyball players have been voted to the All-Olympic League 2A first and second teams by the league’s coaches.

A pair or Sequim juniors, setter Sydney Balkan and middle Ella Christiansen, were chosen for the second team.

Sequim senior McKenzie Bentz earned honorable mention, as did a trio of Port Angeles players: senior middle blocker Genna Orr, junior outside hitter Kiana Robideau and senior setter and outside hitter Emily Johnson.

Port Angeles also received the team sportsmanship award.

North Kitsap outside hitter Bri Duchemin was voted league MVP and teammate Molly Lemmon, a libero, was picked as the Defensive MVP.

Port Townsend and Chimacum each had two players voted to the Olympic League 1A girls soccer team.

Sophomore forward Kaitlyn Meek and senior defender McKenzie Ginther were the Port Townsend players chosen for the team by the league’s coaches.

Chimacum’s honorees are freshman midfielder Grace Johnson and senior goalkeeper Kyah McKinlay.

Chimacum coach Stan Berdinner was named coach of the year, and the Cowboys received the team sportsmanship award.
