Kennedy Carlson has been playing volleyball her whole life, but just one week ago came her biggest accomplishment yet. As a sophomore playing only her second year of varsity, Carlson recorded her 1000^th career set assist in a game against Pelican Rapids.

Carlson has led the Panthers to a near .500 record this season. And the sophomore has her eye on some even bigger goals by the time she’s finished. And with a young squad, Hanson believes the team can build off Carlson’s success for the future.
