1 Micha Hancock (S, 5-11, Edmond, Okla., Penn State Univ.)
2 Jordyn Poulter (S, 6-2, Aurora, Colo., Univ. of Illinois)
3 Kathryn Plummer (OH, 6-6, Aliso Viejo, Calif., Stanford Univ.)
4 Justine Wong-Orantes (L, 5-6, Cypress, Calif., Univ. of Nebraska)
6 Tori Dixon (M, 6-3, Burnsville, Minn., Univ. of Minnesota)
7 Lauren Carlini (S, 6-2, Aurora, Ill., Univ. of Wisconsin)
8 Hannah Tapp (M, 6-3, Stewartville, Minn., Univ. of Minnesota)
10 Jordan Larson (OH, 6-2, Hooper, Neb., Univ. of Nebraska)
11 Annie Drews (OPP, 6-4, Elkhart, Ind., Purdue Univ.)
12 Jordan Thompson (OPP, 6-4, Cincinnati, Edina, Minnesota)
13 Sarah Wilhite Parsons (OH, 6-2, Eden Prairie, Minn., Univ. of Minnesota)
14 Michelle Bartsch-Hackley (OH, 6-3, Champaign, Ill., Univ. of Illinois)
15 Kim Hill (OH, 6-4, Portland, Ore., Pepperdine, Univ.)

17 Megan Courtney (L, 6-1, Dayton, Ohio, Penn State Univ.)
22 Haleigh Washington (M, 6-3, Colorado Springs, Colo., Penn State Univ.)
23 Kelsey Robinson (OH, 6-2, Manhattan Beach, Calif., Univ. of Nebraska)
24 Chiaka Ogbogu (M, 6-2, Coppell, Texas, Univ. of Texas)

Tokyo roster is chosen from these 18 right?

4 OH -- I don't think any of the experienced 4 would move.

2 S -- Hancock vs Poulter, Carlini is a lock

3 M -- Foluke, Dixon, and whoever is playing better between Washington and Ogbogu

2 OPP -- already have two, nothing will change

1 L -- everyone knows who to take here lol

chiaka is a lock for Tokyo barring injury. It’s Dixon who needs to play her way in

speechless. I wasn’t thinking she was gonna make Tokyo. I was hoping. I thought there would be no doubt she would at least go to VNL though

I guess Karch could pull a last min switcharoo

well I know you don’t think she’s good but weren’t you at least expecting her to be on the VNL roster ?

She's obviously a good player but I don't think she's Olympic good with the other options out there. Realistically others have been playing against top competition in the months leading up to Tokyo she hasn't... Seems obvious imo.. not trying to sound jerky but yea.. others put in the work that she didn't this year and it likely showed in the gym..

Also worth noting that Rachael Adams isn't on the list. It seems like Karch decided back in 2019 that her and Karsta were not going to be a factor.

Avid beat me to it, I thought I had found it first.

that’s fair. I’m just shocked she didn’t go with the struggles and possible injury JT had. I’m assuming him bringing Sarah and KP are why he only brought 2 Opps because they could play there if needed

But yay Tapp!

In all honesty.. surprised Tapp is there over Lowe. Seems more likely Lowe has a chance to make a roster spot than Tapp does. Maybe Tapp is doing really well!

I am excited to see what Dixon, Plummer, and Wilhite can do.

Seems like he's putting his faith in JT, with KP and SWP having the ability to switch over if needed. It's a good move for Paris. Let's hope they all make the most of this summer.

She got pissed in one match when she kept getting blocked/hitting out, and so right  after a huddle with her team she took the ball and hit it pretty hard out towards the edge of the court. I wouldn't call it a tantrum but it was not a good look.
