Spartan Spirit goes "National"!

Michigan State's Katie Johnson has been chosen to be a member of USA Volleyball's A2 team. The 6'3" junior will play in the USA Open Adult Nationals in May with other A2 members.

Michigan State skipper Cathy George said "Katie is a tremendous outside hitter, who I truly believe has the ability to compete at the national level."

...well, yeah, that's kinda what she's been doing the past three years, isn't it? Unless Coach George is one of those people who's a master at back-handed compliments, a guru of passive-aggressiveness. "Katie made the A2 team? How sweet. I think that's a really, really great honor for her...almost too much."

But George has never struck us as that sneaky, so I'm sure I'm imagining things.
