RAPID CITY — The South Dakota School of Mines volleyball team along with Hardrocker head coach Beth Honaker are pleased to announce the signing of new recruits  Madi Lane of Fort Collins, Colo., Ashley Kemnitz of Vivian, and Reanna Roberson from Windsor, Colo.

The three women come into the Lady Hardrocker program as freshmen.

Lane is a 6-foot outside hitter that attended Fossil Ridge High School in Fort Collins. She earned all-conference honors in 2007 and in 2005. Lane also excelled in track and field, taking third at the Colorado state track meet in 2005 and 2006.

Lane decided on Mines because six members of her family have attended  the college including her older brother, who is currently taking classes.

Kemnitz also has some family ties to the Mines as her older brother, Brian, is competing for the football program.

Kemnitz, who is 5-foot-9, chose to become a Hardrocker because she believes the volleyball program is on the rise and because of the outstanding educational program.

Kemnitz attended Lyman County High School in Presho. During her high school volleyball career, Kemnitz has been named the outstanding female athlete of the year for Lyman High School, earned all-conference honorable mention, was named to the Sully Buttes all tournament team in 2006 and 2007 and was honored with the Team MVP award in volleyball, basketball and track.

Roberson played volleyball at Greeley West High School, where she received all-conference honorable mention, lettered in volleyball since she was a freshman, was academic all-state first team, earned an academic letter and was a member of the National Honors Society.

Roberson, who is 5-foot-4, wanted to attend Mines because it was exactly what she was looking for as far as academics go, it was close to home and she like the quality of Hardrocker athletes and coaching staff.
