Rocanville’s Amiyah Spencer is heading to university in Newfoundland this fall, where she will play volleyball with the Memorial University Sea-Hawks. She will be joining the team as a middle blocker while pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree at Memorial.
Spencer helped lead Rocanville School to a high school provincial bronze medal in volleyball in 2022 and a silver medal in 2023. She has also made waves in swimming, medaling at the Saskatchewan Swimming Provincials in both 2023 and 2024.
Spencer says she is very excited to graduate from Rocanville School this June and begin her move to the East Coast.
“I am from Rocanville and in grade 12. Volleyball and school are my two big priorities in my life, so going to university and play volleyball were the two things I wanted to do, and so I am going to take Sciences and Medicine,” she said.
“It has been super exciting finishing up high school and has been very busy with finishing up volleyball. It is kind of sad to know we will all be leaving and going our separate ways after high school, but it is exciting to know everyone is going to be doing their own thing.
“I’m going to Memorial University in Newfoundland. The main campus is in St. John’s. They offer everything I want to take. I am going to start with my bachelor’s in general science first and then in my second year I am going to declare my major in biological chemistry and then minor in Human Biosciences. So, I will definitely be busy.
“I am really excited to be away, I have never really been that far away from home before, but I will just be so busy that I won’t even think about being homesick. Everybody in the family is super excited to go with me out there to drop me off at the beginning of the semester which is super exciting. So, they will get to stay out there a bit for pre-season and then I will be on my own which is exciting and scary at the same time. I will be living in residence my first year.”
