The 6-foot-1 senior middle hitter led the Tigers to a 24-2 record and the Class AA state championship this past season. Slaughter tallied 458 kills, 327 digs, 85 blocks and 65 service aces, while posting a kill percentage of .420. A MaxPreps Third Team All-American, Slaughter is a three-time First Team All-State selection. She concluded her prep volleyball career with 1,205 kills, 581 digs and 307 blocks.
Slaughter has maintained a 4.0 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to play volleyball on scholarship at the University of Nebraska this fall.
Slaughter was one of five students from Harrisburg selected as a "Champion of Character" and, as a result, will represent her school as a mentor to area elementary and middle-school students. She has also volunteered locally with the Humane Society of Sioux Falls and as a youth volleyball and basketball coach. "Sami has a killer jump serve and can attack at all areas on the court," said Holly Lynch, head coach of Roosevelt High. "She finished her season in the championship match against us with 39 kills. If Harrisburg didn't have her, we might have won!"
