Proving to be as Strong as Steele at USAV Girls' Junior Nationals

ATLANTA (June 29, 2011) – Rachel Steele (Orem, Utah) has spent her past 12 months doing two challenging things: beating cancer and working toward the goal of attending the 2011 USA Volleyball Girls’ Junior National Championships being held June 25 to July 4 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

After five rounds of chemotherapy and spending six months in the hospital, Steele has overcome leukemia and is back playing on the court with Club Utah 17 Black, which is competing in the 17 National Division.

Two weeks before last year’s USA Volleyball Girls’ Junior National Championships, Steele’s biggest concentration was preparing to compete in Reno, Nev., with her team, Club Utah 16 Black. However, on June 12, 2010, Steele went to the doctor thinking that she was coming down with mono and needed treatment before traveling to Reno.
