Volleball standouts Devyn Robinson of Ankeny Centennial and Phyona Schrader of Ankeny have been named to a pair of all-state teams by the Iowa Girls’ Coaches Association.
Robinson, a senior middle hitter, was selected to the Elite all-state team and the Class 5A first team for the third consecutive year. She was joined on both squads by Schrader, a junior setter who was a Class 5A second-team pick as a sophomore.
Robinson led the Jaguars with 248 kills and a .325 hitting percentage while helping the team to an 18-15 record. She was earlier named an Under Armour first team all-American.
Schrader racked up 511 assists this season while leading Ankeny to a 37-6 record and an appearance in the Class 5A semifinals, where the Hawkettes lost to eventual champion Cedar Falls. She was an all-tournament pick.
Ankeny’s Isabelle Vacek earned all-state honorable mention for the second year in a row. The senior outside hitter led the Hawkettes with 211 kills.
All three players were also named to the Class 5A West all-district team.

Meanwhile, Vacek was among four Ankeny players to be named to the IGCA’s academic all-state team. The other honorees are seniors Kaci Behrens, Haley Grubb and Lauren Willets.
