Jordan Siefer is the daughter of Joe
and Joy Siefer of Sylvania. She has played Southview Volleyball all 4
years and this is her 2nd year on Varsity. Jordan also plays softball
and will be a returning letter winner for the Lady Cougars this
spring. Her future plans are college and possibly continuing her
athletic career. The current forerunners are Marietta College and
Defiance College and a Graphic Design, Advertising or Industrial
Design major.
If the last two paragraphs sound pretty
similar there is a good reason – these are two very similar, busy
young women. Both are dynamic, goal driven, fiercely competitive and
“pretty darn cute!” Mandi and Jordan have played with and against each
other in 4 different sports over the years – starting with teeball in
kindergarten. Both played softball, basketball, and soccer in addition
to volleyball. Mandi, being an alumnus of Sylvan Elementary and McCord
Jr. High and Jordan, being an alumnus of Stranahan Elementary and
Timberstone Jr. High, had plenty of opportunities to scope each other
out as competitors prior to their years here at Southview. But they
also played fastpitch softball and travel soccer on the same teams for
many a season. Both gave up soccer for volleyball once they hit high
school and have continued to play J.O. in the off-season. Mandi
continues to play an extensive AAU basketball schedule as Jordan also
continues to log major miles in the summer playing tournament
Fastpitch softball.
Athletics aren’t the only thing these
two do. Both are solid students. Mandi carries a 3.80 GPA and Jordan a
3.52 while they attack a rigorous college preparatory curriculum.
Mandi is an Editor of the Southview yearbook, The Meridian and is
dedicated to making this year’s addition as special as this Senior
class. Jordan is a 4 year member of the Southview Marching Band as a
majorette and has twirled competitively for over 10 years. She has
been a choreographer for the band the past two seasons and did indeed
“teach the band to dance.”
Wherever the future takes these two we
are sure they will be successful at whatever they tackle because they
have shown us for 4 years what it takes to keep coming back and being
a true competitor at sport as well as life! |
Mandi
will receive her 2-year varsity volleyball letter this year. She has
performed above and beyond as a team leader as the starting setter and
she leads the team in kills.
