Gerlach
Continued from Page 1
until her legs began to
grow and cartwheels be
came dangerous that she
realized she may have to
shift her focus.
"Once my legs started
hitting the ceiling fan in
our living room I knew that
was pretty much it for
gymnastics,” Gerlach says.
She began to think more
seriously about volleyball
during her sophomore year
in high school when col
leges began to take notice
of her play, as well as her
legs. Nelson says Gerlach’s
height and athleticism are
primary reasons for recruit
ing her to Oregon.
Gerlach was also pur
sued by Arizona, which
she said made her think
that maybe she could go
somewhere with volley
ball.
“I just never pictured
myself going on to a Pac-10
school,” Gerlach says.
“When I see my name on
the sheet as a starter, 1 still
can’t believe it. 1 have to
look at it a couple of times
before it sinks in.”
When No. 19 Arizona
visits Oregon this week
end, they will remember
Gerlach.
In her final year at Hori
zon High School, Gerlach
led her team to a third
place finish in the state
tournament, and ended the
season with 352 assists, 84
kills and 49 service aces.
Her contributions did not
go unnoticed: She was
named the Desert Valley
Region most valuable play
er and Scottsdale/North
east Valley player of the
year.
Gerlach had no qualms
about passing up the op
portunity to play for a
ranked team. While star
ring at Horizon High, Nel
son brought Gerlach to
Oregon for a recruiting vis
it.
"As soon as I visited
Oregon I knew that this
was where I wanted to go,”
Gerlach says. “I miss my
friends and family in Ari
zona, but I’m excited about
moving to a new place
with new people.”
With the stats she has
posted at Oregon thus far,
it’s hard to believe that
Gerlach did not begin her
career as a setter. She made
the switch during her
sophomore year after try
ing it in practice. To Nel
son that was a benefit for
the Oregon volleyball pro
gram.
“The fact that she’s not
tapped out or going to get
tapped out is a plus,” Nel
son says. “Her potential is
only going to grow.”
While most freshman
spend their Friday nights
trying to become familiar
with the local scene, Ger
lach prepares for a week
end of intense competition.
Scheduling problems
and dorm life will become
distant memories when the
18-year-old steps onto the
court and exudes the confi
dence that she rightfully
owns. It’s not the typical
life of a freshman, but Ger
lach wouldn’t have it any
other way. It's not enough
to be known as the best set
ter at Oregon, she wants to
compete in an NCAA tour
nament.
If that should happen,
Gerlach may find that she
isn’t able to blend in quite
as easily.
