Athlete featured in Register
Oct. 16, 2009
Simpson volleyball player Tara Christensen was featured in Thursday’s Des Moines Register for her outstanding work at Simpson on and off the court.
During Simpson’s 3-0 victory over Dubuque Wednesday night in Indianola, Christensen, a senior setter from Hinton, Iowa, tallied 34 assists, surpassing the 5,000 mark for her career.
Already the program’s all-time assists leader after handing out 30 assists in a 3-1 win against Loras on Sept. 15, Christensen became the first player in the history of Simpson volleyball to reach the 5,000-assist plateau.
In addition to being a member of the Simpson volleyball team, Christensen also gives tours to prospective students through the admissions office.
