COLUMBUS - As the 2020 season comes to a close for the Northview Volleyball program, two big announcements were made in regard to All-Ohio selections. This year, Northview has two representatives on the Ohio High School Volleyball Coaches Association's All-Ohio Selections. 

Kamryn Hunt, class of 2023, outside hitter, was selected to Third Team All-Ohio. Hunt led Northview with 422 kills (a school record for most kills in a season), 293 digs, 42 blocks, 35 aces, passing a 1.78. As a transfer, this was Hunt's first year with Northview. Coach Chad Rutkowski stated "we are so very proud of Kam. This is an honor that we knew she could achieve and something that she was striving for. We are beyond proud of her accomplishments and the role in played in the teams success this year."

Emma Dukate, class of 2021, libero, was selected to Honorable Mention All-Ohio. Dukate lead Northview with 410 digs, 47 aces and passed a 2.21. Dukate is a three year letter winner for the Wildcats and is committed to play volleyball at West Virigina University, a member of the Big XII Conference. When asked about Emma, Coach Chad Rutkowski said "Emma is truly a special player and commanded the back court throughout her years in black and yellow. The role of libero is tough and it takes a tough competitor to assume that role; Emma did just that." 

This is the first time in Northview Volleyball history that two players have been named to All-Ohio in the same season. Congratulations to Kamryn and Emma.

Northview volleyball had to shut down for two weeks after multiple kids tested positive for Covid-19. It's a hurdle but not one the Wildcats can't come back from. Now they will play 21 matches in 34 days. A challenge this team is ready for.

If high school athletics resume as scheduled late next month amid the growing coronavirus pandemic, each will face new restrictions and methods of operation unique to each sport.

Football will see the most safety-related scrutiny because it is the biggest revenue-producer for most high school sports programs, and has the highest level of close, physical contact. But, other fall sports have had and will continue to face their own specific challenges.

Volleyball lost one of its biggest offseason staples when much of the travel club season — which normally runs from February through June — was halted. From mid-March until late June, there was no club play. High school coaches are now seeking creative ways to train players and refine their game skills to fill that void.

Congratulations to senior setter, Clare Kwiatkowski, who is now the career leader in assists for Northview Volleyball. Clare currently has 2,282 assists, and is averaging 10.0 assists per set this year. She is currently 54th all-time in OHSAA history - https://www.ohsaa.org/sports/staterecords/volleyball.

In our match on Thursday night vs. Maumee, Clare had 55 assists which put her in first place in career statistics. NVVB alum, Aly O'Lenic held this record and set it in 2017.

There are some big staff changes with the Northview Volleyball program for the 2020 season. Head Coach, Chad Rutkowski, stated "we are beyond excited to announce some coaching changes within the Northview staff as we welcome Northview alum, Abbey Pawlak, back to our gym; we hire a former standout player for me at Cardinal Stritch, Sara Turner-Smith; and Coach Heidi Wiczynski will assume the role as the new Head Junior Varsity Volleyball coach."

For the 2020 season, Coach Heidi Wiczynski will resume the role of Head Junior Varsity Volleyball Coach. This comes as Coach Kayla Brown will be taking a leave as her and her husband welcome their first child. Coach Kayla will continue to be around the Northview program and in the gym throughout the season. Coach Heidi has put together a very impressive resume in her first two years leading the freshman program and we are delighted that she has agreed to take on this new role as the Head Junior Varsity Coach.

The new additions to the coaching staff include Abbey Pawlak ’15, as a Volunteer Varsity Assistant, and Sara Turner-Smith, Freshman Head Volleyball Coach. Abbey was a phenomenal libero at Northview during the 2011 – 2014 seasons, before playing four years at the University of Akron. She is currently teaching at Stranahan Elementary. Sara Turner-Smith was a standout outside hitter for Coach Chad Rutkowski at Cardinal Stritch before playing for Owens Community College.
