ROYAL GRAD TREGLOWN TRUE STUDENT-ATHLETE.Byline: Jim Inghram Daily News Staff Writer She blends perfectly the concept of student-athlete, excelling in the classroom and on the volleyball court.

While her work on the court may not be as natural, she is equally as productive. With eight games remaining in her senior year, Treglown is fourth on the all-time school record list with 1,054 kills. Teammate Tammy Burchard is the all-time leader with 1,345. She's fourth in block assists with 257 and eighth in solo blocks with 77. In a recent four-game victory over Cal State Northridge, she posted her fourth double-double of the season and fifth of her career with 21 kills and a career-high 16 digs in addition to six blocks. ``Jenny usually isn't as tall as the other middle blockers she has to go against,'' junior setter setter: see sporting dog. setter Any of three breeds derived from a medieval hunting dog that would set (lie down) when it found birds so that it and the birds could be covered with a net. Setters have long hair on the ears, chest, legs, and tail. Melissa Haugen said. ``But she makes up for it with athleticism and anticipation. She's always a step ahead of what's going in the game, she's always thinking of what she has to do if this happens or what she'll do if something else happens.'' Said the 6-foot Treglown: ``Actually the scouting scouting: see Boy Scouts; Girl Scouts. scouting Activities of various national and worldwide organizations for youth aimed at developing character, citizenship, and individual skills.

It's weird; I look at my team and when I was a freshman I was one of the taller players. Now I'm one of the shortest.'' It is a fact she won't have to worry about as she plans her future after Flagstaff Flagstaff, city (1990 pop. 45,857), seat of Coconino co., N Ariz., near the San Francisco Peaks; inc. 1894. Lumbering, ranching, and a lively tourist trade thrive in the region, where many ruined pueblos, numerous state parks, several lakes, and large pine forests . ``I'm planning on getting my Ph.D.,'' she said. ``I'm applying to schools in Florida, North Carolina North Carolina, state in the SE United States.

I was pre-med, but I noticed that all of the lab classes I was taking interested me more.'' The classroom and court weren't the only places that Treglown enjoyed herself in Flagstaff. ``I'm so happy I came here,'' she said. ``This is a great little college town and, since there isn't much to do here, people in the community really support the school's athletics. It's kind of neat to be around town and someone will notice that you're on the volleyball team by the sweatshirt you have on.'' |
