WWU Spotlight: Delaney Speer

When Delaney Speer joined Western Washington University’s volleyball team as a freshman in 2022, she was scared about the transition from high school to college.

The 5-foot-11 senior pin hitter redshirted her first season so she could adapt to the speed of the game and handle mistakes.

“When you are young and come in, everything feels so big and scary,” Speer said. “You need to fail to learn and grow. I am still learning it now, but I can push myself to get better.”
