After two back-to-back Panhandle Conference Championships together, Saints volleyball sophomores, Jordyn Goracke, Zoey Chilcote, Natalia Martinez and Jenna Wiggs, have made commitments on the next level to continue their athletic and academic careers.
Jordyn Goracke will take the court at the University of North Florida in the fall. Goracke, a setter from Tallahassee, finished her SF career with 474 assists – earning a spot on the top-10 all-time assists SF list - and 300 digs.
Sophomore Zoey Chilcote from Fort Lauderdale recorded 86 kills and 19 solo blocks as a middle blocker while at Santa Fe and will attend Valdosta State University (GA).
Natalia Martinez has committed to Florida International University. The Miami native recorded 151 kills, 20 aces, 62 digs and 23 solo blocks. Martinez ranks second in SF history with 18 solo blocks in one season (18). Martinez also earned honors as a selection of the Panhandle Conference First-Team.
Local sophomore Jenna Wiggs of Gainesville completed her Santa Fe career with 44 aces and 640 digs, averaging 5.52 digs per set. Wiggs set the school records of most recorded digs in a single match (43), third all-time most digs in a single season (475) and ranks within the top-10 all-time with 26 aces in a single season. Wiggs will attend the University of North Carolina – Greensboro this fall. Honors for Wiggs included selections to the Panhandle Conference First Team and the Florida College System Activities Association (FCSAA) All-State Team.
Saints volleyball head coach Nick Cheronis praised his sophomores. "These four players will leave a giant legacy with our program for years to come. All will graduate on time with an average GPA of 3.43 and helped contribute to back-to-back Panhandle Conference championships. It's not surprising to me that all four are moving on to play and compete at the next level. They all truly exemplify the meaning of "student-athlete."
The Saints volleyball team completed the 2019 season with an 11-12 overall record (5-1, PC).
