CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – Miami’s Devoux Deysel and Stanford’s Roisin Willis have been named the 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Scholar-Athletes of the Year for men’s and women’s outdoor track & field, headlining the 2025 All-ACC Academic Teams, announced on Friday, June 11.
 
Deysel capped off a strong 2025 season by winning the NCAA title in the men’s javelin throw. At the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon, Deysel recorded a throw of 81.75m (268-2) to finish at the top of the podium. Deysel also won the 2025 ACC javelin championship with a personal-best mark of 85.35m (270-2), besting the field by nearly 50 feet. The Garsfontein, South Africa, native is a two-time USTFCCCA Division I All-American and three-time NCAA Champion, also winning two NCAA Division II javelin titles in 2022 and 2023.
 

Deysel is the first student-athlete from Miami to be named Scholar-Athlete of the Year in men’s outdoor track & field. After earning his bachelor’s degree, Deysel is currently enrolled as a graduate student studying Data Science.
 
Like Deysel, Willis was an NCAA champion this season, winning the women’s 800-meter run. With a championship record time of 1:58.13, she became the first ACC student-athlete to win the NCAA 800-meter outdoor championship since 2021. At the ACC Championships, Willis earned the bronze medal and First-Team All-ACC honors. Her time of 1:58.13 at the NCAA Championships was the third-fastest time in collegiate history.
 

Willis, a history major, is the first student-athlete from Stanford to be named Scholar-Athlete of the Year in women’s outdoor track & field. She was also named to the All-ACC Academic Team for women’s indoor track & field earlier this year. The Stevens Point, Wisconsin, native was also a semifinalist for The Bowerman Award and was named the USTFCCCA West Region Women’s Track Athlete of the Year.
 

A total of 236 student-athletes were named to the 2025 All-ACC Men’s Outdoor Track & Field Academic Team, led by 29 from Duke. Notre Dame followed with 23 honorees, while Stanford had 21.
 
On the women’s side, a total of 268 student-athletes earned All-ACC Academic Team honors, led by 26 from Virginia. Louisville and Clemson tied for the second-highest total of All-ACC Academic Team honorees with 20 each.

2025 Volleyball Season Recap – University of Washington Athletics

Published

January 4, 2026

By


SEATTLE – The 2025 Husky Volleyball team, led by third-year Head Coach Leslie Gabriel, wrapped up its second year in the Big Ten with a 13-17 overall record, going 8-12 in conference play to finish in a four-way tie for 10th-place out of the 18 teams.
 
Washington was looking to make a second-straight NCAA tournament appearance, and had an RPi inside the top-50 throughout the entire season, but a couple close losses late in the season put a .500 finish out of reach, which was one of the requirements for postseason selection.
 
Battled The Best: Washington had the No. 2 toughest strength of schedule in non-conference play, and coupled with the always challenging Big Ten slate, UW tested itself against the best all year. The Dawgs defeated four teams that made the 2025 NCAA tournament, including one top-25 win over then-No. 17 Penn State, also taking down tourney qualifiers UCLA, Arizona and Northern Iowa (all in 3-0 sweeps)
 
The Huskies frequently took sets against ranked teams but were unable to get over the hump enough times to punch their postseason ticket. UW took sets against No. 11 SMU, No. 18 Minnesota, No. 12 Wisconsin, and in both meetings with No. 22/17 USC
 
Barton Earns All-Big Ten First Team: Junior outside hitter Kierstyn Barton was one of just five Big Ten players to have 400+ kills and 200+ digs for the season. She ended with exactly 400 kills to lead the Huskies, and had 220 digs, both career highs. Barton earned a spot on the All-Big Ten First Team after earning Second Team honors as a sophomore. She had double-digit kills in all but three matches, and was also named to the AVCA All-North Region Team.
 
Mateska In Rare Air For Freshman: Serbia native Simona Mateska brought her game to the NCAA with little lost in the translation, as she turned in the most productive freshman season by a Husky in well over a decade. Mateska earned AVCA All-North Region honorable mention, ranking second on the team with 2.96 kills per set with a .257 attack percentage that ranked first among all Husky outside hitters. She became the first Husky freshman with over 300 kills (326) since former National Player of the Year and current assistant coach Krista Vansant in 2011. Mateska led or shared the team lead in kills for UW in eight of the final 13 matches, after not leading the team once in the first 17 matches.
 
Heard Locks Down At Libero: Senior Zoria Heard, in her second season as a Dawg, moved into the starting libero role and thrived, earning All-Big Ten Second Team honors. Heard was the only Husky to play all 115 sets and she ranked second in the Big Ten with 437 digs, averaging a career-high 3.80 per set. Her 437 digs were the most by a Husky since the 2019 season. Heard surpassed 1,000 career digs during the season, and did so in style with a career-high 29 digs on Nov. 2 at UCLA. Heard was also named to the All-Tournament Team at the DoubleTree Invitational hosted by SMU, averaging 4.70 digs per set over the three matches.
 
Markley Leaves Mark At UW: Another new face to make a major contribution this season was grad transfer Alexa Markley, who came to UW for her final year after three seasons at Penn State. Markley started every match and ranked second on the team with 330 total kills, hitting .225 with a strong 0.68 blocks per set. She led UW in kills seven times, including powering UW to its one top-25 upset victory of the season, a 3-2 triumph over Markley’s former team, the Nittany Lions. Markley had 16 kills in that win, and had the final three Husky kills in the fifth set, including on match point at 14-13.
 
Ducks Double Swept: For the first time since … the Huskies posted two straight-set wins over rival Oregon. In the first meeting in Eugene, the Huskies had a pair of extra-point wins in the first and third sets for a 27-25, 25-22, 29-27 win. The Dawgs hit .243 and held Oregon to .155 with 11 Husky blocks. In the battle in Seattle, UW was in full control, hitting .372 and holding the Ducks to just .117 for a 25-22, 25-19, 25-16 win. Kierstyn Barton had 15 kills and hit .464 with Alexa Markley adding 11 kills on a .320 percentage, and Elise Hani chipped in seven kills on a .500 mark out of the middle.
 
Wessels On The Block: Junior Katy Wessels has grown her game at the net significantly every year, and the 2025 season saw her rank among the Big Ten’s best. The middle from Idaho finished ranked second in the league with 152 total blocks, and third in blocks per set with 1.35. Wessels has gone from 0.74 blocks per set as a freshman, to 1.06 as a sophomore, up to .135 as a junior. She posted 3+ blocks in all but two matches this year, and had 5+ in 18 of 30 matches.
 
Husky Nation Shows Up Again: For the 21st year in a row, Washington finished in the top-20 in the nation in home attendance. Husky Nation turned up to Alaska Airlines Arena and voiced their unwavering support, averaging 3,408 fans per match to rank 14th in the NCAA at the end of the regular season. That mark also ranked sixth in the Big Ten.
 
Dawgs Incoming: At the end of December, the Huskies had officially signed seven new Dawgs for the 2026 season including five high school seniors and two college transfers. Head Coach Leslie Gabriel calls this incoming freshman class “the foundation of our future.” The initial five signees include setter Lily Mae Buerkle, middle blocker Hayden Conner, outside hitter Sammy Destler, outside hitter Kylie Kleckner, and libero Kaitlyn Nguyen. Since the end of the season, Coach Gabriel has hit the portal, bringing in outside hitter Addie Kanouff from Texas Tech, who will have two seasons of eligibility. Gabriel then signed setter Andrea Fabikovicova, a native of the Czech Republic who just finished her freshman season at San Francisco.

Red Wing’s Annie Reinitz excels as volleyball setter | Sports

January 4, 2026

There’s plenty to think about as the setter. Everything offensively flows through the position. They have to be able to read the passes from the back row, then determine where to place the ball. Of course, defensively the setter helps out, too.

With the ability to think ahead, handle all the responsibilities that come with the position and run a play without much instruction resulting in an excellent season in assisting her teammates, Red Wing’s Annie Reinitz is the Republican Eagle/Cannon Falls Beacon volleyball player of the year.

“I just give a lot of credit to my team and Sydney, especially. I love volleyball and I was just playing my game,” Reinitz said. “Sydney definitely brought out a different side to my game that I’d never had. Being a setter, you can look at yourself and be like, I’m a good setter, but you can’t really be a good setter without the rest of your teammates.”

After the volleyball season ended, Reinitz hasn’t stopped assisting. She currently coaches the Red Wing 12U volleyball team. That enables her to remain involved in the sport she loves and to help others.

It’s not surprising at all that Reinitz would choose the coaching path. She often was already one or two steps ahead of where varsity head coach Sydney Boutelle needed her or the team to be. When calling out plays or making sure everyone was aligned for the serve receive, Reinitz was all over it. On several occasions over the past two seasons Boutelle said she would instruct Reinitz to call out a certain play. Many times the response she got was Reinitz telling her she already called it.

She could read the opponents’ body language and get the hitters to place the ball toward areas of the court or at certain players, knowing the Wingers will have the advantage.

Reinitz was empowered to lead, direct her teammates at all times and be the coach on the court. Dissecting the game, her opponents and her team was a strength for Reinitz It’s why Boutelle called her Red Wing’s “floor general.”

“I think everyone this year led in their own ways, but I think being a setter and controlling who gets the ball and how the flow of the game basically. I think that kind of just helped me,” Reinitz said. “I would talk out situations with people and just as a setter you need to have open lines of communication because if something’s not working this game, it could be working the next game or something like that. And Sydney’s always given me kind of free reign.”

Reinitz surpassed 1,000 career assists early in the season, then as section playoffs neared, Boutelle was noticing the career assists pile up. She ended with 1,698 assists in her career with 804 of them coming in just this season.

“I guess we all kind of knew I was gonna hit 1,000, but we’re getting towards the end of the season and Sydney texted me. She’s like, ‘my gosh, if we go far, you could get 2,000. That is crazy.’”

She wasn’t always a setter, however. Reinitz started out wanting to play libero. In seventh grade that changed. Reinitz was asked to switch to setter because the team at the time didn’t have one. Former Winger volleyball star and close cousin Kennedy Knopp even said Reinitz would make an excellent setter. That analysis seemed to be spot on as Reinitz never played anything else.

In the spring, Reinitz will once again be on the golf team. After that, perhaps more coaching as Reinitz said it would be hard not to share her love of volleyball.

A stifling defensive effort saw the Tritons hold Alberta to a -0.111 hitting percentage. UC San Diego hit .271, adding six aces. Leo Pravednikov and Sebastiano Sani both registered solo blocks as the Tritons finished with eight total.

Introducing the All-Area volleyball teams from the Cannon Falls Beacon and Republican Eagle. 

Alec Hamilton, community editor for the Beacon, and Martin Schlegel, sports editor for the Eagle, cooperated to put together two teams from their respective schools: Cannon Falls, Randolph, Red Wing, Goodhue and Lake City.

The head coaches were able to nominate up to three players for Player of the Year in addition to their nominations for all-area. Statistics and accomplishments were taken into account when forming all-area teams. Coaches’ votes and overall honors were used in naming a Player of the Year.

(Listed in alphabetical order)

Izzy Guetzlaff (Senior, Red Wing, middle blocker)

Big 9 All-Conference, MSHSL Academic Award.

2025 Stats: 201 kills, 71 digs, 15 ace serves, 65 blocks.

From head coach Sydney Boutelle: “Izzy Guetzlaff is a steady force and presence the Wingers rely on. Her consistent level of play with her kills and blocks spark momentum during their games. She is a player you look to when you need a side-out through moments of adversity and someone who carries the team effortlessly.”

Claire Meyers (Sophomore, Cannon Falls, outside hitter)

HVL All-Conference.

From head coach Melissa Huseth: “Claire is a gifted, athletic player who embraced a major new challenge this season and made an immediate impact. In her first two years on varsity she played as a middle attacker with limited back-row responsibility. This year, we moved her to the outside and into a middle-back defensive role. She welcomed the transition and quickly became a force at the net and a gritty, reliable defender in the backcourt. Claire stays calm under pressure and gives her best at all times.”
