LETHBRIDGE, AB – Clay Thierman is now a Lethbridge College Kodiak.

The Webb, Saskatchewan native has committed to the Kodiaks men’s volleyball team for the 2020-2021 season. Thierman’s previous experience on the court includes time with the U16 Team Saskatchewan and play as an underage athlete last season on the U18 Team Saskatchewan roster.

“I think it speaks to the maturity and high skill level that Clay possesses,” says men’s volleyball coach Greg Gibos, in a Kodiaks Athletics-issued release.

“Their provincial organization selected him as an underage athlete to compete at the Canada Cup in Halifax last season. During that competition their team was successful, and Clay has a passion and excitement that is infectious to his teammates.”

Thierman and Team Saskatchewan went 3-1 in the round robin before falling to British Columbia in the national quarter-final.

Thierman represented both the Jr. Sundogs Club and the Regina Volleyball Club. With the Jr. Sundogs, he was part of the U18 provincial championship winning team in 2018. He was also a provincial champion while representing his high school as a member of the Swift Current Composite Colts in 2017.

The outside hitter will study in Lethbridge College’s Agricultural Science Program.

The Kodiaks enter next season following a historic run this past campaign. They qualified for the CCAA nationals for the first time in the program’s history.
