Tonight’s the night. It’s the final match for our 2026 Lewis and Clark Volleyball senior class.
To our seniors, thank you for everything you’ve poured into this program. You have become so much more than teammates and leaders. You’ve helped build a foundation for something bigger than yourselves, believing in the process and pushing this team to grow every day. Even through the challenges, setbacks, and moments when the work felt bigger than the reward, you never lost sight of what you were building together. Your commitment to each other and to the future of this team has made a difference that goes far beyond what any scoreboard could ever show.
Beyond volleyball, we’re most grateful for the people you are. Somewhere between the long practices and the moments spent together off the court, you turned a group of teammates into a family. You’ve brought so much personality, compassion, and heart into this program. The family and impact you’ve made will remain long after the final whistle.
It’s hard to imagine this program without you, but we hope you take pride in knowing that the team you’re leaving behind is stronger because you were part of it. You chose to invest in belief and trust and the foundation you’ve helped establish will continue to shape this program and open doors for those who follow in your footsteps.
As much as we wish we had more time, we couldn’t be more excited for everything your future holds. We hope you approach this next chapter with the same determination and confidence that brought you this far. There is so much out there waiting for you and we can’t wait to see all that you accomplish. Whatever direction life takes you, know that your people here believe in you and are proud to have been part of your journey.
Thank you for the years of dedication, the sacrifices that often went unseen, and the love you’ve given to this team. You’ve made this program better than you found it, and we couldn’t be prouder of the athletes you’ve been and, more importantly, the people you’ve become.
You will always have a home here, and you will always be part of our family. Go get em Otts. 🦦❤️
