Lily Veith beneath the surface

Underneath the calm persona of Junior Lily Veith lies a spirited, talented athlete. Not only is she a stellar volleyball player but a model student. When not on the court, Veith is involved in several clubs, such as Beta, Mu Alpha Theta, Medical Explorers, Hands for Others, and the Tampa Juniorettes.

Lily attributes her inspiration to begin playing to her mother and grandmother. “I remember my grandmother always portrayed this image of an amazing athlete.” She continues the family tradition out of love for the thrill. The thrill comes from getting a kill, an ace serve, and getting great saves for balls, and thinking, ‘how in the world did that just happen?!'”

This third-generation volleyball player first began battling it out on the court in middle school. Veith continued this interest by trying out her freshman year for the AHN JV team.

She played on the JV team for a little over a month when the coaches recognized her outstanding talent as an outside hitter.  Due to this discovery, Veith joined the AHN Varsity Volleyball team towards the end of her freshman season.

Lily enjoys beings part of the team. “I love the laughs we have shared, getting to spend time with great friends, and THE FOOD.” This season marked her third year playing as a Jaguar.

During the off season, Lily participates in club volleyball to improve her skills for the the next high school season. Her continuous desire to sharpen her talents shows her consistent dedication to her team and the sport.
