Heather Poll, Colorado Springs, Colo., has signed a letter of intent to play volleyball at Bethany College for the 2010-2011 academic year.  
Heather is a hitter from Colorado Springs Christian School where she was a member of the four-time defending State Championship team. She was named RMR All-Region right setter and earned all-state honorable mention honors. Heather was named to the Denver Post's second team two consecutive years. In 2008 she earned all-state honors from the Colorado Springs Gazette and the Rocky Mountain News.
 
In addition, Heather, a four-year letterwinner, played in the Junior Olympics National Tournament. In 2009, her high school team were state champions, earning a 10th place national ranking by prepvolleyball.com.
 
She had 69 kills, 34 digs and eight service aces her senior year. She also played club volleyball four years.
 
"Heather comes to Bethany from a very successful high school program," Bethany coach Nathalea Stephenson noted. Heather's high school  has been crowned state champions six times. She has been on four of those teams.
 
"(Heather) is one of those young ladies who has a passion for the game and works hard at improving her skills each and every time she steps on the court. She has great court sense and can find holes and place the ball," Stephenson said, adding she is excited that Heather has chosen Bethany.
 
Heather is the daughter of Mike and Rebecca Poll. She plans to study art therapy or studio art at Bethany.
