Jade Vitt came to Columbia for this.
She’s from San Diego, but found her way across the country. She’d played indoor volleyball in high school and tried sand volleyball as a senior. But she wanted to help build something.
“I came in for the start of this program,” Vitt said. “It was the first year, and so that was a really big deal for me. I wanted to be a founding member and really leave my footprint and my legacy for the future teams to come.”
She’s now a senior, having borne witness to the building of a program.
