A former reserve and a member of the state semi-finalist No. 3 pair come together for this year’s No. 2 team for El Camino beach volleyball.
Nickeisha Williams, sophomore, made it all the way to the state semifinals last year, with former partner Brooke Russell, only to fall to eventual champions Irvine Valley College.
“I feel pretty good and I’ve come a long way,” Williams said. “I can’t wait to see what happens this season.”
While sophomore Michelle Shimamoto has left behind her reserve position, she looks forward to being part of the No. 2 pair.
“I worked really hard last year, just so I could be one of the starting five, so it feels pretty good to be one of the top two,” she said.
