Name: Kara Draper
Position: OH/Setter
Hometown: LaGrange, Ky.
Major: Psychology



Plans for the future?
Attending graduate school at IU Southeast in the Liberal Studies Program to pursue a future PhD in either Clinical or Industrial Psychology

Why did you choose to go to IU Southeast?
It's close to home, and my parents could watch me play. The campus is small, yet a lot of people go here so you rarely see the same faces.

What has been your favorite memory from college?
Making the Dean's list and joining Alpha Phi Sorority.

What has been your favorite memory from your career as an athlete?
Winning a position over a senior my freshman year of college.

What drives you as an athlete?
I love to prove people wrong when they have little faith in me. My height has never been on my side when it has come to the front row, but when it comes time to perform, I always get the job done because of my vertical abilities. I am very hard on myself, because I expect to perform at the highest level. I also love the intensity of when a coach is screaming to push me, only because they know as much as I do what I am capable of.

What is a talent outside of your sports that you posses?

I know how to play the clarinet, and just learned how to do the hoedown throwdown by Miley Cyrus :-)

What is something very few people know about you?

I used to be left handed up until Kindergarten when I switched-mostly because I saw the other kids using their right hand.
