Continuing a legacy: Goering follows mother’s footsteps to play at WSU

Twenty-six years ago, Tara Goering was a member of the Wichita State volleyball team. Today, a family legacy continues as her daughter, Skylar, starts her career as a Shocker.

Wichita State freshman Skylar Goering talks to her mother after the exhibition match against Kansas on August 17 inside Charles Koch Arena.

From 1991-1993, Tara Goering was a member of the Wichita State volleyball team. In 2019, Goering will be back inside Koch Arena, but this time as a supporter.

Tara’s original plan didn’t have Wichita in the picture. In 1990, she went on to attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on a track scholarship.
