Medley on Griffin:
"We are thrilled to welcome Kiara to Husson University and our volleyball program," said Head Women's Volleyball Coach Sue Medley. "She is a skilled volleyball player with a desire to grow, a positive leader and a person who excels in terms of work ethic and intensity. She will have an immediate impact on our program."
Griffin on choosing Husson:
"I played many different sports throughout my life, but volleyball became my passion," said Griffin. "Ever since I was young, I've watched videos of liberos diving into chairs, playing fearless and determined and wearing a different colored jersey. I knew that's what I wanted to do. Once I made my school team in middle school, everything became about volleyball and I found myself wanting to practice longer than normal practice times just so I could keep playing, even without AC in the gyms. I love all of it – conditioning to training – because it means I get to keep playing. Having to work through an injury at the beginning of my senior year was tough, but I knew I would come back stronger and I did. I love my school and club teams and even while those chapters are over – I always knew I would continue my volleyball journey and now I can't wait to add more chapters to my career at Husson!"
"I want to first give thanks to God because He got me to this point," concluded Griffin. "I am so thankful for this opportunity and for Coach Medley bringing me into this program for the next chapter of my life. I also thank my family and friends who have supported my journey since the beginning and my school and club programs because they made me into the player I am today."
