Roundup: Volleyball star Roe named to Phenom watch list

Traveling to Columbus, Ohio, from Dec. 14-18, Roe not only got watch the NCAA semifinals and national championship matches but got to showcase her talents in front of several collegiate evaluators.

“Overall, it was a fun experience,” Roe said. “I got to play with some great players and watch some amazing games.”

An all-around player for the Lady Eagles, the team’s co-captain also led the way in digs (333), serving aces (89) and blocked shots (85).

Coming off a fifth-place finish at the 3A state championship meet in November, Boulder City High School boys cross country star senior Tyler Campbell was named a Nevada All-State honorable mention selection.

Putting together an amazing season, Campbell generated a pair of first-place finishes at the Boulder City meet Sept. 14 with a time of 18 minutes, 15 seconds, and at the Southern Nevada Division finals on Oct. 15 with a time of 17:24.4.

Setting a person best at the 3A Southern Region meet Oct. 28 with a time of 16:29.7, Campbell concluded his prep career with a time of 16:32 at the 3A State meet Nov. 5.

Campbell finished in the top 10 in all eight of his 3A races, while finishing 22nd during the Palo Verde meet Sept. 3 and 19th at the Falcon Invitational at Foothill High School Sept. 24. Both events were laden with 4A state qualifiers.
