Not only was Jordan Larson selected as the MVP of the Olympics, but Justine Wong-Orantes was named the best libero! What a move by Coach Cook to take a gamble on Justine as an undersized setter and beach recruit coming out of club and high school and giving her the libero jersey at Nebraska. ☑️ First Team All-American ☑️ National Champion ☑️ OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST Justine was so good it is just hard to believe that the Nat. team had so many questions about the Libero position for so long.

In Justine’s defense, there were things happening behind the scenes in 2018-2019 that led to her uninspired performances. After she overcame those obstacles outside of volleyball, she was in a much better emotional state to continue being the goddess of the back row.

Always sad to see an athlete have to retire for physical reasons. It's been fun watching Zuhn compete. All the best to Riley in the future. This made me think back to Waverly's Olivia Boender.

Two things. It wasn’t much of a “gamble” to recruit JWO. She had a lot of options coming out of high school and NE was fortunate to get her. That said, everyone had questions about JWO initially and with good reason. She wasn’t good, at all!! It took her a while to catch up to the speed of the international game. It’s safe to say she’s caught up now!! She was SPECTACULAR in the Olympics!!

Cook and Justine have both said that NE was the only school to offer her a scholarship and it was late in the game (fall of 2012). It might not have been a gamble to recruit Justine Wong-Orantes, because she had other offers and was planning on going to Hawaii before Nebraska entered the picture 1. It might be fair to say JWO saved Nebraska though. After Lara Dykstra abruptly left Nebraska to play beach at Pepperdine John Cook made a late push to recruit Justine, and the rest is history. While we will never know how good Sheridan Zarda or Brenna Lyles would have been I think it is safe to say Justine was the perfect player in a time of need for Nebraska.
