The 6-foot-1 senior outside hitter led the Rangers to a 29-0 record and the Class 4A state championship this past season. Putnicki recorded 309 kills, 222 digs and 27 service aces. A 2016-17 Under Armour Third Team All-American, she is also a First Team All-State and First Team All-Pikes Peak Athletic Conference honoree.
Putnicki has maintained a 4.05 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to play volleyball on scholarship at the University of Virginia this fall.
Putnicki has volunteered locally on behalf of a senior living facility and youth volleyball programs, and has served as a LINK leader in her school. "Putnicki is a dominant player who most teams have to game-plan around," said Daisha Agho, head coach at Berthoud High. "She's very versatile too and she's been a top player for that team for three years."
