“That’s one of the reasons why I chose Michigan State — to be that trendsetter, to be that pioneer,” Wrobel said. “I could see that Chuck was building this volleyball mecca here, and I wanted to be part of that with the other players.”

Amongst the players from that era, Wrobel stands the tallest. She currently holds eight all-time MSU volleyball records. Her career kill total — 2292 — are the 18th most in NCAA volleyball history.

“It’s an honor to still holds records here in this sport,” Wrobel said. “I can’t believe they haven’t been broken yet. This sport is evolving, every sport changes and gets better.”

Despite her dominant Spartan career, Wrobel stepped away from volleyball not long after graduation. She spent a few years playing professionally and coaching. After, she met her husband and moved to southern California, where she lives today.

Wrobel teaches sixth grade and has a daughter who will be three in December. Though volleyball is no longer a big part of her life, the memories haven’t faded.

“Packing Jenison field house, riding out the roars of the crowd, standing on the end line, that anticipation of playing,” Wrobel said. “That competitiveness is something I don’t have in my life now, and something that I really miss.”

However, Wrobel expresses no regret in stepping away. The cognizance of her career — and records — remain.

“It’s such an unbelievable experience to know, looking back, what started it,” Wrobel said. “When you’re in it, you have no idea. You just go out there and play. But now, looking back and saying that you’re part of that, is amazing.”
