Alumni Profile: Avery Van Hook
Meet Avery Van Hook, a volleyball rockstar who’s been with the Iowa Rockets family since she was 5 years old (thanks to her older sister Sammy).
This setter extraordinaire has been a key part of winning three Regional Championships for the Rockets, and even went national with a super impressive runner-up finish at 16s and a awesome 3rd place at 13s in the USAV National Championships!
As a 4-year starter at Marion High, she led her team to a whopping 3 State Tournaments and holds the school record for most assists. Talk about dishing it out! Her team’s win-loss record? A crazy good 124-39.
She just finished her freshmen season at the University of South Dakota (majoring in Exercise Science, no surprise there!). Early in the 2023 season she snagged the starting setter position for the Yotes and helped them reach the national tournament.
But her favorite Rockets memory? That time at the 2021 National Tournament in Vegas where her Iowa Rockets 16R team clawed their way back in FIVE come-from-behind matches to reach the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!
