🔼 Lamb’s Lexicon. The common thread with Wichita State's three volleyball transfers is a desire to take on a new challenge and learn volleyball in a new way.
 
With Chris Lamb, they found the coach who will definitely expand their understanding of the sport. Outside hitter Sydney Dunning, a junior transfer from Cal State Bakersfield, is using spring practices to learn the new vocabulary and playbook.
 
"Pay attention," she said. "Be a great listener. There's a new word every single day, new play every single day, new defense."
 
Dunning, junior setter Hannah Hawkins and junior middle Elinor Engel joined WSU for the spring semester.

🔼 Get Out Your Tissues. Each spring, Mrs. Abby Walls asks her eighth graders at Rincon Valley Middle School in Santa Rosa, Calif., to write a letter about their future. She mails it to them before high school graduation.
 
"I opened it up at my graduation party," said Wichita State bowler Ashtyn Woods. "I started crying. Then everybody walked into the party and my dad said, 'I have to read this to all of you.'
 
The letter revealed that eighth-grade Ashtyn knew what she wanted – major in education and bowl at Wichita State. Now a sophomore at WSU, Woods is majoring in early childhood unified education and bowling for the Shockers.
