Wittman, Dixon and Kreklow make AVCA first-team

Shakopee's Ashley Wittman, Burnsville's Tori Dixon and Delano's Molly Kreklow can all add another honor to their resumes. The three - who were Star Tribune first-team all-metro selections this fall - were all named to this year's American Volleyball Coaches Association first-team All-America team. They are all invited to the AVCA annual convention in Florida next month, where they can participate in matches and a skills competition against each other.

In addition, Delano's Kayla Koenecke was named to the honorable mention team.
