Growing up in the small town of Lowell, Michigan, which has a population of just over 4,000 people, the adjustment to a city with a population just under 600,000 people has been a smooth one for volleyball first-year outside hitter Jenna Reitsma.
“The transition has been good, it’s definitely different, but it hasn’t been a bad change,” Reitsma said. “It’s cool to be so close in walking distance from different things. I mean back home, we always had to drive (everywhere).”
Reitsma said part of the transition has been dealing with not being near her “close-knit” family, where she is one of five children and has a twin brother.
