Kristen Wiloch was a player at SC4 during a time when Skippers volleyball was top in the nation. She remarked, “My time at SC4 was most memorable for having the best mentors and coaches available to us and a great team of outstanding players. Coach Gamble, Cornwell, and Romberg instilled hard-work ethics into us which lasted throughout my extended college playing experience and into my career and home life today.”
Wiloch won the national championship at SC4 in 2004 as a team captain, and earned herself Second Team All American honors. As starting middle blocker for the Skippers, she also earned All-Tournament team honors which leveraged her to score a D1 spot at Central Michigan University.
While at CMU Wiloch said she focused on obtaining her degree in accounting and being a clutch player. She said, “The best thing to come out of both SC4 and CMU was the lifelong relationships I built with my team. Working with girls with the same ambition and spirit built the best foundation for friendships.”
Shortly after college, Wiloch started her family and began working in the healthcare field in accounting. In 2018, she went back to school at Davenport University where she graduated with distinction in 2020 with her Master’s in Business Administration.
Today, Wiloch works as a Senior Financial Analyst with McLaren and has for the past five years. She has three kids: 11 (boy), 9 (girl), and 2 (boy), and an amazing, hardworking boyfriend. In addition to her full-time job, she also coaches JV volleyball at her alma mater, Almont High School. Wiloch said, “None of this would have been possible without giving credit to my time at SC4.”
