In Their Words
Colorado State head coach Brian Bedard on Tarynn Sieg...
"Tarynn is a local girl from 30 minutes east of Fort Collins, so essentially right in our back yard. I've had an opportunity to get to know her at my throwing camps and watch her develop over the years and build a rapport with her. She's a very talented volleyball player that has split time with club volleyball and track. I feel as she begins to work on a full time training basis for track, she's going to have some huge gains. More importantly, her leadership qualities and her competitiveness really stand out to me and that will help her to be successful at the next level."
