The 6-foot-4 senior middle blocker recorded 319 kills, 101 blocks and 62 service aces this past season, leading the Vikings (26-5) to the Class 6A state final. The MVP for the West at the 2017-18 Under Armour All-America game, Gneiting was named Miss Volleyball by the Deseret News. She was also selected to the national ALL-USA First Team and earned First Team All-American honors from FloVolleyball.
Gneiting has maintained a 3.81 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to play volleyball on scholarship at Brigham Young University this fall.
A devoted member of her church community, Gneiting has volunteered locally as a mentor for special needs students. “Heather Gneiting is one of the best middles to ever come out of this state,” said Corrie Vigil, head coach at Syracuse High. “She’s competitive and versatile, and dominant at her position. I was impressed with her court awareness and ability to make adjustments during the match.”
