Why Wittenberg?
I grew up attending Wittenberg volleyball games and attending their camps under Coach Paco Labrador and Evelyn Carus. I always hoped I would someday play at Wittenberg. When I started researching colleges while in high school, I learned that Wittenberg is more well known for its academic programs. After coming on an official visit where I met professors, students, and fellow players on the volleyball team, I knew Wittenberg definitely was for me.
High School
2019 Player of the Year...National Honors Society... Cum Laude graduation honors... played club volleyball with the "Sharks" for 7 years...
Personal
Daughter of Christine and Greg Linkhart... Linkhart earned AVCA All-America Honors in 2022.
