Queen of the court: Seven Lakes volleyball star Willtrace Ngoh earns Under Armour All-American honors

Seven Lakes High School has volleyball royalty in its midst – Willtrace “Wiggles” Ngoh. She received her crown in the form of an Under Armour (UA) Next All-American Jersey during a special presentation in the Seven Lakes gymnasium, surrounded by family, friends and teammates.
The jersey ceremony paid tribute to Ngoh’s selection to the UA All-American team, an honor that only 28 student athletes in the United States received.
“I get to represent more than myself,” Ngoh said. “I get to represent my school, my family and everyone who has supported me and believed in me throughout my journey.”
Standing six feet tall, Ngoh has built a reputation for her remarkable athleticism and powerful hitting ability. She set a Seven Lakes single-season record for blocks this year and can dunk a basketball. Despite her success, Ngoh remains humble and focused on improving her game. But according to Seven Lakes Volleyball Coach Amy Cataline, it's Ngoh's dedication off the court that sets her apart.
“She has instinctive, raw athleticism,” Cataline said. “But what you don’t see is the work she puts in when she’s not on the court. There aren’t too many players who will ask me over the summer to open up the weight room or gym so they can get more reps in. She’s an All-American because of her work ethic and coachability.”
She has also earned international recognition, winning gold medals while competing overseas with the USA U19 and U23 national teams. She described the opportunity to compete alongside and learn from some of the nation's top volleyball players as an experience of a lifetime.
Ngoh has verbally committed to continue her volleyball career at the University of Southern California (USC), one of the nation's premier collegiate volleyball programs. Cataline believes Ngoh's athletic ability, determination and work ethic position her for continued success at the next level.
For now, Ngoh remains focused on helping the Spartans compete for a UIL state championship and making the most of her remaining time on the court with her teammates.
