A season that can be best described as resilient and powerful. With no senior leaders, the girls elected juniors Avery Vogt, Anna Pelds, and sophomore Leah Janulewicz as their captains to lead the young team. Lead is exactly what they did. The Wolves finished the season 28-10 (4-3 in CIML play) and were 3rd in CIML and 6th ranked at the end of the regular season. The Wolves didn’t lose a match in Regional play to punch their ticket to the state tournament. With wins over top-ranked teams in Ankeny and Ankeny Centennial, the Wolves found themselves competing for another state championship, making it two years in a row. Falling just short, the Wolves completed a successful and exciting season with a State appearance and a 2024 state runner-up trophy to go with it. 

Records on Records

The record books filled up with the 2024 Wolves Volleyball team. Sophomore Logan Vogt will hold three new records of her own, including kills in a match with 21, kills in a season with 386, and ace serves in a match with 10. Leah Janulewicz adds on with two records to her name, with 50 ace serves in a season and digs in a match with 32. Avery Vogtnow holds the record in assists in a match with 41 and puts up 912 assists in a season to claim that record and add to her career total. Sophomore Cassidy Danburg ties the blocks in a match record with 8. 

Next up

The 2024 season is in the rearview mirror as the Wolves look forward to returning every player and competing once again for a state championship, this time with a more experienced and powerful veteran team. By the numbers, the Wolves will be returning 100% of their production – 1,128 Assists, 1,190 kills, 382.0 total blocks, 1,442 digs, and 206 aces to the team. The returning Wolves feature key offensive leaders, including Avery Vogt, who leads the team in assists, and Logan Vogt, who tops the team in kills. Captain Leah Janulewicz also returns, along with versatile freshman Avery Cordes, who ranks third on the team with 190 kills and leads with 101 total blocks.  Sophomore Piper Ladwig, second on the team in kills and first in kill efficiency, along with sophomore Cassidy Danburg who contributed 97 blocks, sophomore London Taylor, the team leader in digs, and Anna Pelds, third in digs,  round out the core players. With a state runner-up trophy in hand, there’s no turning back the clock for a redo. There is only moving forward. It is an offseason to reflect, continue to improve, and come back ready for another title run.
