Character

Feekin was a highly recruited setter and decided she wanted to stay closer to home so she came to Wichita State even though WSU had a setter that was only one year older than her and a starter. She patiently waited her turn and kept working hard and in her first year as a starter in 2012, led the team to the Sweet 16. In practice, she works extremely hard and she is able to score so well because of all the work she has put in working on her different setter dumps in practice. She is a great leader as she holds her teammates accountable in practice before her coaches do.

Community

Feekin has served her community doing many different things.  The list includes Numana Haiti Food Packaging Relief, Missouri Valley Conference Just Read Program, WSU Pen Pal, volunteer work crew for the Extreme Makeover Home Edition featuring Carl Hall, Kansas Food Bank, USD 259 Summer Reading Night, Fast Fours, and the Little Spikers Volleyball Program and Junior Spikers Volleyball Program.
