Illinois volleyball player Raina Terry has been chosen to participate in the USA Volleyball's National Team Open Program this weekend in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The program serves as a selection process for both the U.S. Women's National Team and the U.S. Women's Collegiate National Team.
The event will take place at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center from February 23-25, with over 200 women's volleyball players expected to attend. Athletes born in 2005 or later might also be considered for the U.S. U21 Women's National Team, which is set to compete in the 2024 U21 Women's NORCECA Continental Championship from June 23 to July 1 in Toronto, Canada.
Terry is a two-time American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Northeast All-Region selection and a two-time All-Big Ten First Team honoree. She ranks tenth all-time with 1,634 career kills at Illinois and is fourth all-time with 164 career aces. In 2023, she was noted for being the only Big Ten player with over 1,500 kills and 150 aces and was the first Big Ten player to achieve over 500 kills in one season.
On her Senior Day, Terry announced her return for her final year of eligibility in 2024.
