6'1" should be about 1.85m. Was the listing at UH inflated or the German article inaccurate? 1.78m is about 5'10" - 5'10.5" Carey is a true 6'1. She is really, really tall for a setter. If Hawaii did inflate her height, it wasn't by much. She is definately taller than 5'10.

If anyone here knows her true height, it would be you.

From their junior year, I thought Margaret was the better setter. To me it looked like Margaret sets came out more clean than Jens. It looked like Jen was putting so much effort into her sets while Margaret just looked natural when she was setting. Yes, please God, let's not revisit this ... lol ;D

Despite the respect I have for individual height judgment, I will throw in my two cents. If Carey is 5'10, then I'm not sure who is 6 feet because she was at least above 6. I can elaborate if anyone asks but I feel it is unnecessary to do so on my own. I wish Jen Carey the best of luck and am happy that she is still pursuing her volleyball dreams.

I think Jen is 6'2, because im 6'3 and she is almost up to me. There is no way she can be 5'10.

You know what, I don't know if it was her shoes or her hair but when she was in full uniform, she was almost 6'2. She was taller than many people in volleyball listed at 6'1 and 6'2. So I really doubt UH is exaggerating her height. I don't know if the Germans measure their players like in the NFL combine(I hope not because a lot of fans would like it televised) but if they want to call her 1.78 M, that's up to them. For the most part, the European conversions I've seen for American players have been pretty accurate to real life so I just don't know.

Jen Carey is tall. 1.87m tall.... they probably transposed the 7 and 8 in the story.

I'm getting to the point where I'm almost the same height standing up or lying down.

Btw according to my friend in Germany Carey's team loses 3-1 to DSC (25-11 24-26 25-16 25-16). I have been told that their winning that one set is a success for them.
