In the coming weeks, we will spotlight each IU signee individually. The first Hoosier in the series is Holm.
Holm, a 5-11 setter from St. Charles, Ill., led St. Charles North to an undefeated season and a regional championship crown in 2004. While at North, Holm served as captain her final three seasons on the squad. Additionally, Holm was heavily lauded throughout her prep career with nine separate all-area nods by a variety of news agencies. Specifically, she was named the Player to Watch by the Chicago Sun Times in 2004 and tabbed a Senior Ace by prepvolleyball.com. Meanwhile, Holm was a three-time Upstate Eight All-Conference member for both her effort on the court and academically. For her performance in the classroom, the daughter of Janine and John Holm earned recognition by Who's Who Among American High School Students, National Honor Society, Spanish National Honor Society and was named a Commended Merit Scholar.
"Laura is a great leader and competitor," Weismiller said. "She is known by most of her teammates and opponents as one of the hardest workers. She never quits on a ball and makes incredible plays defensively. Laura will bring great experience in the setting position."
