“Maren proved to be devastating to our opponents, mixing up her swings and showing off her range and speed,” Jenks coach Tanna Smith said in the release. “Maren is a hard worker in practice and is always very focused and goal-oriented. Her shoes will be very difficult to fill.”
Off the court, Johnson has achieved a 4.11 GPA and volunteered with the Mabee Red Shield Boys & Girls Club in Tulsa. She is the second Gatorade Oklahoma Volleyball Player of the Year from Jenks.
