Sunday, May 1st, 2022
Women's Volleyball recruit, Katie Nashim.
Recruitment season has kicked off for the 2022-23 NWP Wolves Women’s Volleyball team. Ƶ is pleased to welcome new athletes into inclusive post-secondary sports through the priority of delivering a unique student experience for every wolf-pack member. Head Coach, Lauren Hale-Miller is excited to add recruits to the roster.
Say hello to Katie Nashim.
Hailing from Lac La Biche, Alberta, Nashim is looking forward to following family tradition and playing in Grande Prairie. “I chose NWP to follow in my brother’s footsteps of course!”
Nashim’s brother, Ethan played for the Wolves Men’s Volleyball team as an outside hitter. Ethan finished the 2018-19 season with 171 kills and was given the “Smash’em Nashim” nickname by fans.
Katie follows in her brother’s footsteps and brings a ton of great experience to the Wolves. In 2020, she played in the North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) with Team Alberta U16, and more recently in 2021, she played for Team Alberta U17.
In her upcoming rookie season, Katie is ready to take every opportunity. “I’m excited to make new relationships and continue to improve!”
Head Coach, Lauren Hale-Miller is pleased to welcome a second Nashim to the program.
“I'm really excited to welcome Katie to our program this fall. I had the opportunity to coach her last summer with Team Alberta and identified right away that she could be a strong player in our program and the ACAC,” said Hale-Miller. “She is extremely coachable, likes to work hard and loves to compete. Along with her skills, Katie will bring her infectious and positive personality that will motivate the people around her to work at their very best.”
Welcome to the pack, Katie.
