SEQUIM — Sequim senior libero Hannah Hudson was selected as the Olympic League Defensive MVP by the league’s volleyball coaches.
North Kitsap’s Sarah Holt was named the league’s MVP and Port Angeles’ Christine Halberg is the coach of the year.
Hudson has played an important role for the second-place Wolves this season and throughout her career, especially as the starter at libero for the last three seasons.
“Hannah is the best defensive player we’ve had in a long time,” Sequim coach Jennie Webber Heilman said after the Wolves’ season ended in the West Central District tournament.
Port Angeles senior Maddy Hinrichs and Sequim junior Alyse Armstrong were selected to the all-league first team.
Armstrong’s honor comes in her first year with the Wolves after moving to Sequim from Wells, Nev.
“You don’t always get a player who can move in and be a varsity starter,” Webber Heilman said.
Making the second team were Kendra Harvey and Bailee Jones of Port Angeles and Lex Besand of Sequim.
Port Townsend’s Megan Lee and Megan Juran received honorable mention, as did Sequim’s Emily Wallner and Emma LeBlanc and Port Angeles’ Brittany Norberg.
The Roughriders shared the team sportsmanship award with Klahowya and North Mason.
