Serbian AND RUSSIAN HAVING FUN IN THE U.S.A.

Everything comes to an end. After having an incredible volleyball era, Viktoriia Iarkova ‘25 and Milica Andjelkovic ‘26 evaluate the season and all the work done in the past months. Millica: “ Volleyball season was good, we had a great team. I think we did really big improvements in all the skills. I am proud of all the girls. I am looking forward to the next one.” .In the other hand, Viktoriia opens up about her feelings after ending the season in a deserved second place, “ My volleyball season was full of different emotions. We worked hard, it was much harder than last year because we were more locked in, but it was worth it. At the same time, it was disappointing sometimes, but I think every sport has this feeling.” They are asked what it is like to work with each other and they are clear that having excellent players is okay, but above all GOOD TEAMMATES is fundamental for success. Milica points out how joyful it is having Vi (the way she refers to her) as a peer , “Vi is a great teammate, she is the one that is always going to cheer us on.”Viktoriia makes the same with her, “I think we have good match because we have the same culture. The good thing, even though sometimes on the court we have some problems, is that outside of the school, in the dorm or like in classes she is still a good friend and a good person. I guess we learnt how to divide sport and our communication.” Even though the volleyball season is over they are still going to be teammates, but now, in basketball. Milica’s first feelings: “I love basketball, I think the team is good, we have very good players. We will see how it goes.” Viktoriia’s: “I have never played basketball before, I was kind of nervous, but the coach is really nice. He is not paying attention to the fact that I have never played. Also, we do exercises that help us to be stronger, which is great.”
