Shortest OHs to make AA

[w2l]

Someone on another thread asked if "Angie Pressey" was the shortest to make AA as an OH. I believe Reyden Ahuna was the shortest at 5-6 to make All-American as an OH. Can anyone think of any other?

The following article says she's 5'8":

At 5-foot-8, Ahuna still leaps well enough to get her share of volleyball kills and to be one of the top woman basketball players in Hawai'i. Her team won the Hoop It Up 3-on-3 state title in basketball last year.

Not sure of exact heights or if they made AA, but they were awfully good.
Christy Nore
Liz Masakayan
Nancy Hillman Somera
Katie Haller

If they made AVCA AA, it should be here:

www.avca.org/collegiate/DIawards/05DIalltimeAA.pdf

Christy Nore - 1st-1988
Liz Masakayan - 1st-1985, 1st-1984 - listed as 5'8".
Nancy Hillman Somera - None.
Katie Haller - 1st-1993, 2nd-1992

I thought Nancy Somera was about 5'8".

Michelle Hansen OH AA for Cal Poly in the late 80's was 5'8"

Hows about Kenyatta Lovelace from Hawai`i did she ever make all-American because she was listed at 5' 8...and if I remember correctly wasn't she freshman of the year in 1990?

Also Antonette White from Long Beach State was also only 5' 8. I'm pretty sure she made all-American as well, even national player of the year in 1991? Anyone can confirm that?

What I find so remarkable about Angie Pressey was how high she can get. She can even out-touch several of her 6'3" teammates (probably not Mindi Wiley though). I've seen several 5'6"-5'8" players playing at the D-I level, but never really anyone quite as impressive a leaper. Still - I never saw Elsa Stegemann play; she's said she's more or less an honest 5'8-1/2". I heard she spent a lot of effort improving her leaping ability after an she suffered an injury.

What was the name of the player from Washington State a few years back? LaToya or LaTonya Harris? Did she ever make AA? I recall she was a tiny OH.

She (LaToya Harris) was listed as 5'7", but I don't know if she made the AA list.

5'7". She had a hammer and was a tremendous leaper, but she never made AA. She was left-handed too. Her best year was 2000 as a soph, with .261 hitting, 4.13 KPG, 3.14 DPG).

Her volleyball bio dropped her height after she became and assistant coach. However - her track bio listed her a 5'7".

Don't know if they had All-Americans in her day, but Lindy Vivas was 5'4". She could rip the ball. What is she doing now, anyone know?

Now we're really getting back there. Patti Snyder who went on to coach ASU was a DII player at Portland State in the late 70s who was about 5'4" and could really boing and bang.
