The 6-foot-1 senior setter and right-side hitter led the Saxons to a 27-3 record and the Class 6 state championship this past season. Shklyar recorded 544 assists, 305 kills, 156 digs, 70 service aces and 38 blocks while posting a kill percentage of .469. A two-time First Team Washington Post All-Met selection, Shklyar contributed 36 assists and 14 kills in Langley’s 3-2 win over Frank W. Cox High in the state final. She concluded her prep volleyball career with 2,299 assists and 879 kills.
Shklyar has maintained a weighted 3.86 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to play volleyball on scholarship at Michigan State University this fall.
A member of her school’s yearbook staff, Shklyar has volunteered locally with an animal rescue organization and as a youth volleyball coach. “Elena was key to Langley’s success,” said Aubrey Mosley, head coach of Washington-Lee High. “She is such a bright player in that she is able to read the court and put the ball where it needs to be as a setter and hitter.”
