Sophomore Marissa Gerleman has been nominated as a volleyball Athlete of the Month for October. She is the daughter of Andrea and Cory Gerleman. Marissa has been doing volleyball since she was in fifth grade. When asked what she loves about this sport she said that there are so many different aspects to it and so many different things to learn. To Marissa, being an Athlete of the Month shows her hard work in season and off-season paying off. Her involvement in club volleyball allows her to put in the work and effort even when the school season is not in full swing. Gerleman believes she has been honored with Athlete of the Month because she’s had a good season this year and has worked hard.

In honor of her achievements, the Adel Lion’s Club donated $100 to the ADM Scholarship Foundation.
