A lingering knee injury wasn’t going to keep Summit High School volleyball senior Mackenzie Westenskow from not competing at her best on Saturday, April 17.
“She didn’t play like she was hurt,” Tigers head coach and playing alum Lex Zangari said.
On senior day at Summit High School, Westenskow led a collection of fellow seniors and younger up-and-coming players in a gritty effort to a 3-sets-to-1 loss to Central of Grand Junction.

The Summit High School varsity girls volleyball team saw increased contributions from more players in a 3-0 home loss Tuesday night in Breckenridge versus Glenwood Springs.
The Demons defeated the Tigers 25-22, 25-14 and 25-17 in a contest in which first-year head coach Lex Zangari opted to give more players a chance to contribute to the action than in Summit’s three previous losses to start the season.
“After Saturday, it just kind of seemed like we needed a bit of a reset,” Zangari said about the 0-4 side. “The day before I told the girls, we had a good conversation about the mental aspect to stay invested in the game. The word choice I used was to have the intention to push and keep playing despite making mistakes.”
