    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Haleigh Washington Haleigh Washington
    The AVCA History Commission was formed as a subgroup to the AVCA Diversity Development Team on December 1, 2020. The History Commission’s purpose is to recognize, amplify, and celebrate the rich and diverse history of the sport of volleyball. The first phase of the Commission’s work will explore the contributions of Black Americans to the sport of volleyball. Phase 1 is timed to coincide with the 40th Anniversary of the founding of the American Volleyball Coaches Association. PHASe 1 | Vol. 1.22 Haleigh washington Haleigh washington Haleigh Meridian Washington was born in Denver, Colorado with her early years spent in Idaho Springs, Colorado. Idaho Springs or Clear Creek County is a part of the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood metropolitan area located about 35 miles west of downtown Denver. She attended Carlson Elementary and Clear Creek Middle School. She showed a lot of promise as a youth basketball player, but volleyball became her passion as a member of the seventh-grade volleyball team at Clear Creek Middle. What stood out to Washington was not only the success of the team that season, but the closeness she felt with her teammates. By her freshman year at Clear Creek High School, Washington had clearly set herself apart as the most consistent player on the team. Even at that stage in her volleyball journey, she was already garnering interest from college recruiters. As a sophomore, Haleigh was named to the Colorado 3A All-State volleyball team despite the struggles of her team. As she entered her junior year, her family relocated to Colorado Springs where she attended Doherty High School for her junior and senior years.
