Myiah Meade
Can we start calling her the “Alaskan Assassin?”
OK, so we might need to wait a bit and see how strong Myiah Meade’s game on the volleyball court is, but you heard it here first.
If she’s a spike-happy killer, I’ve already copyrighted the nickname.
Either way, the recent import to Wolf Nation — she moved here from Fairbanks, Alaska, where she attended North Pole High School — gives Breanne Smedley another potential weapon as she heads into her second season as Coupeville High School’s volleyball coach.
Meade, who will be a junior in the fall, has been working with her new teammates during spring practice and already has her eye on where she’d like to get stronger with her spiker skills.
“My goals for the upcoming season are to become a better player, physically and mentally, ” Meade said. “My strengths are hitting and passing. Some things I would like to work on are diving and digging up the ball.”
She plans to play basketball for the Wolves, as well, and enjoys the chance to mesh with her teammates.
“Volleyball is a very intense sport, with a lot of team work,” Meade said. “And I enjoy the team atmosphere.”
Meade first picked up the sport in sixth grade and hasn’t let go yet, racking up five consecutive seasons before the move to Whidbey.
“I started playing because one of my friends in a higher grade told me about open gyms,” Meade said. “I immediately took to the sport.”
Away from the volleyball court, she enjoys painting and culinary arts, with an emphasis on barbecue competitions.
No matter what she’s doing, she always has the support of family.
One person, in particular, is always there to offer her advice, and Meade is happy to draw upon her experience.
“My mom has encouraged me a lot to push myself and get better.”
