PACWEST Best in Class - Julia Siemens
A second year student athlete at Columbia Bible College taking general studies
In just her first PACWEST season middle Julia Siemens of the CBC Bearcats saw action in 65 of their 78 sets during the 2019-2020 campaign. She contributed to the offence with 39 total kills and 16 services aces. While on defence she tallied 42 digs and nine blocks.
Like the rest of the PACWEST student athletes, Siemens has put the majority of her daily focus into her studies since practicing has been limited. Her weekends have been a bit less busy as well without any travel or matches, which would have been her second season.
In the classroom Siemens is currently in her sophomore year at Columbia Bible College, enrolled in General Studies as she tries to maneuver online classes over zoom during the pandemic. She says this avenue gives her a better understanding of which path to take when she finally settles on a decision. She is highlighted in the PACWEST’s Best in Class, a feature focused on the student athletes across the Conference that are leaving their mark on athletics and academics.
