Tyler High Coach Claudia Viramontes: "Kristen Williams is the type of athlete coaches hope to have participate in their program. She is reliable, hard-working, respectful, coachable, and intrinsically motivated. Seeing how this young athlete has developed holistically as a person, student, and athlete has been an honor. Kristen was a varsity player for three years and continues to grow as a defensive specialist/libero. When she steps on the court, every touch she makes is intentional. You can count on her being aggressive when taking the ball over. She sets high expectations for herself and others in practice and games. She's impacted her team and teammates; she has taught me much as a coach through her commitment, unselfish demeanor, and persistent character. Thank you, Kristen, for your PRIDE (Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Dedication, and putting Everyone before yourself)! I am beyond excited to see your continued growth as a student-athlete at the next level! Always cheering for you- Your Tyler High Volleyball Family!"
