Yih-Jen Ku–Playing in Division 7 the last three seasons has helped me develop so much as a volleyball player, and my love for D7, its competitive spirit, and its players has grown in parallel. As captain I want to take my experience in the division and my knowledge of the sport (I’ll talk pro or collegiate volleyball any day of the week!) to build a competitive, balanced team and create a space where people feel safe to experiment with their play and improve, whether you’re a D7 rookie or veteran. You want a captain who’s organized, observant, strategic? I am her. Vote YJ <3

Tom Hornberger–Hilton Hitters’ Revenge: Coming Fall

-
Mathew Shepard–I’m running for captain for two reasons: 1) to pressure myself to finish my dissertation this summer, and 2) I’ve finally given into peer pressure.

-
Omar Hameen–We are gonna have such a good time! Get ready! We are stars!
-
-
Eduardo Perez-Torres–The Shakillas howl again!!! AWOOOOO!!!!

Sothdra Nguon-Devereaux–Hi D7! It’s me again! I know we’re not really a blurb-y division, but since you have so many other great options, I feel like I should say a little something for myself. I try to do a lot for the division, I link up with the D-Rep to plan social events, trying to include everyone, I also record games, introduced the team mixers, superlatives for a little fun, host trivia, and sometimes plan little tournaments and events outside of Gotham. On top of that, a LOT of the players I’ve scooped up from other divisions have become top picks, so the taste level and the scope of talent is there! I’m also a decent player, perhaps not a top choice myself but reliable and always engaged. I pride myself on being part of a group of captains that helped evolve D7 into its increased competitive and strong social status that it has today (and it wasn’t met with immediate praise, lemme tell ya). I hope you’ll consider having me as one of your captains again 🙂

Blake Hartle–After five seasons in D7, improving my play and knowledge of the sport, I feel ready to test my leadership skills as captain. My goal is to facilitate fun, improvement as players, and friendships that last long after the season. Oh and winning, I love winning. So vote for me….please.
