Girls High School Volleyball Setter, Thyele Rechatiko Jumps For The South Dakota Jackrabbits This Fall

"We proudly welcome Thyele Rechatiko to the Jackrabbit family here at South Dakota State University," said SDSU head volleyball coach Nana Allison-Brewer .

"This young lady is a phenomenal athlete! She possesses a drive and competitive spirit that caught my eye right away. Not only does she set an incredible ball, but Thyele is willing to step up to the service line during game point (for or against) and serve a fast and heavy jump serve. I truly enjoy her energy and feel her skill set gives us the depth we need in the setting position for the fall 2009 season. We are excited to have this caliber of an athlete join our program and believe her experience at the National Junior College Championships will assist us to a conference championship."

Thyele joins three other incoming South Dakota State freshmen, 6’0” Kelly Hermann, 6’3” Kaitlin Klingemann and 6’3” Kelsey Hansen.
