CHATTANOOGA — The Chattanooga indoor volleyball team continued to bolster its 2025 roster this week after the team revealed the addition of Division II transfer Kendyl MacAskill, head coach Julie Torbett Thomas announced on Wednesday.

Having just graduated from Azusa Pacific in California, MacAskill will now join the Mocs as a ‘redshirt-senior’ with one year remaining in her eligibility. MacAskill’s six-foot-two frame will reside in UTC’s hitting group, as she joins the team as on outside/opposite side hitter.

“Kendyl is a great addition to our volleyball program,” Coach Torbett Thomas said. “She’s long and lean; a fierce competitor. She was coached by her mother, who played in college, which is always a bonus. She’s loyal, coming off a stellar four-year career at Azusa Pacific.

“I love her competitive nature—she hates to lose—and she’s just a great person to be around.”

MacAskill comes to the Mocs having been a mainstay in the Azusa Pacific lineup the last three seasons. A regular starter for the Cougars, MacAskill is coming off her best season to date in 2024 having earned PacWest Second Team All-Conference honors following a season where she recorded 246 kills (2.41 kills/set) and 82 blocks (0.80 blocks/set) on the year.

The Grand Junction, Colorado, native wraps up her time at Azusa Pacific with a grand total of 463 kills, a .259 career hitting percentage, 181 blocks, 127 digs, 52 assists and 14 aces. Not only that, but MacAskill leaves APU having been a standout in the classroom as well, being named to the school’s Dean’s List in each of her four seasons in attendance while also receiving CSC Academic All-District honors her senior year.

Prior to her committing to Azusa Pacific, MacAskill was a star in her home state of Colorado playing at Palisade High School. A three-time Western Slope League First Team All-Conference player, MacAskill’s senior season saw her rake in countless honors that included being named WSL Player of the Year, the Daily Sentinel Female Athlete of the Year as well as being named to numerous Colorado All-State teams.

MacAskill also etched her name into the Palisade record book before she took her talents to California, as she capped off her time at Palisade High as the school’s recordholder for most blocks in a match, season and career. MacAskill was also a multi-sport athlete for the Bulldogs, earning all-conference accolades for her efforts on the Palisade basketball and track & field teams.

Kendyl MacAskill, born August 14, 2003, is the daughter of Matthew and Wendy MacAskill. She also has two sisters: Alexandra and Braeleigh. Wendy (mother) played college volleyball at Colorado State (1991-94). Her sister Alexandra played volleyball at Adams State (2019-21) and St. Thomas (2022-23) while her other sister Braeleigh is currently playing volleyball at Corban University. Kendyl intends on entering the master’s program here at UTC.

“The historical, unforgettable World Cup in Curitiba, the first in Brazil and in South America, is the result of years and years of passion, commitment and hard work – said IFSC President Marco Scolaris after the event. – It is a dream that comes true after an exemplary, long-lasting collaboration between the IFSC and CBEscalada. It was so touching meeting my old friends in their homeland: Janine, Rafael, Rosita, and of course Thiago. Our climbers now know what “la torcida” is: the electrifying atmosphere the Brazilian fans can create. All athletes declared they had never experienced anything like that”.

Another sports legend attended the event: Emanuel Rego (in the photo with Scolaris, on the right, with Emilio Trautwein, Prefeitura Municipal de Curitiba, and Thiago Campacci, President CBEscalada), the Beach Volleyball Olympic gold medallist in Athens 2004, silver in London 2012, and bronze in Beijing 2008. He is now CEO of the Brazilian Olympic Committee: “It was great to hear his words of praise for our sport and the IFSC—commented Scolaris—as well as his support for the development of climbing. May this event become a milestone for the rise of climbing in South America.”

National Federation leaders of the Continent met with IFSC President Scolaris and IFSC Research & Development Director Silvia Verdolini to exchange information on the current challenges NFs face and how to create opportunities for the future.

National Federation representatives from across the Pan American continent gathered in Brazil for this pivotal meeting, which marked a significant milestone in the development of Climbing in the continent.

IFSC President Marco Scolaris opened the session by emphasising the importance of strengthening the Pan American Sport Climbing ecosystem. He also praised the successful event in Brazil, hosted by NF President Thiago Campacci.

The meeting covered key topics, including a review of National Federations’ status, infrastructure challenges, multi-sport event strategies, and the work towards the IFSC’s Pan America Action Plan.

Silvia Verdolini, IFSC Research & Development Director, presented results from a recent survey of Pan American NFs. With 13 out of 17 countries responding, the data showed encouraging progress in technical roles, though further development is still needed.

The session concluded with a discussion on the Pan America Action Plan, which outlines priorities including competition calendars, capacity-building, financial planning, and enhanced regional coordination. Tailored support programmes will address the diverse realities of countries across the continent, ensuring inclusive and sustainable growth for sport climbing in Pan America.
