BRIDGEPORT – Sydney Nein, a senior at Bridgeport High School, is Nspire Today!’s Female Athlete of the Month for September, sponsored by Kristy Culek Agency, LLC-American Family Insurance. Nein is in her third year as a starting setter in volleyball, and she’s also started the last two years as a guard in basketball. She also competes in track and field, focusing on the 100, 400, 4×100, and 4×400. Also at school, Nein is involved in Student Council, Quiz Bowl, and National Honor Society. She has a 3.97 GPA. Outside of school, she participates in the youth group at her church, First Baptist Church in Bridgeport. After high school, she plans to attend either the University of Nebraska at Kearney or the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Her parents are Julie and JD Nein. For being named an athlete of the month, Nein will receive a gift card for a free drink at Scooter’s Coffee.
Q: How excited are you for this volleyball season?
NEIN: “I think this year is a lot more exciting than other ones because our team is better, and we have a better bond than other teams I’ve been a part of. We have better team chemistry. Everyone gets along really well. We’re hoping we make it to state this year. I think we have a pretty good chance.”
