Parker Long is no stranger to hard work. Not only is she a “triathlete” at Seneca High, participating in Volleyball, Basketball, and Track. She also holds a job and acts as “treasurer” of her school’s Future Business Leaders of America club.
To pursue her goals, she plans to “put in the work” both “on and off the court .” One of which is rooted in her participation with the FBLA. As she is “super excited” to be competing in something “other than athletics.” Although her athletic prowess is nothing to be scoffed at.
She and her team made “history in this year’s volleyball season.” By “winning conference for the first time since 1976, winning districts for the first time ever in Seneca Volleyball history,” and is the first-ever “State Quarterfinals qualifiers” in Seneca history.
History isn’t the only thing this team makes together. Long told VYPE that the team she feels is her “family” have “so much fun together.” They even make “TikToks in the locker room” on occasion.
Long expressed to us how much she enjoys being a part of a team with “a drive to do great.” Something she was able to see first-hand her freshman year from a then-senior “Haley Dunkin.” She highlighted Dunkin’s “patience” and ability to put her best foot forward “no matter the circumstances.” All this is to say that Long credits Dunkin for the athlete she is today.
