Parkland College sophomore middle blocker Rachel Robinson has been selected as a 2nd Team D-II All-American by the National Junior College Athletic Association. The 6'2" middle blocker, who graduated from Champaign's St. Thomas More High, helped lead the Cobras to a 39-13 record including the Midwest Athletic Conference title and a 2nd place finish at the Region 24 tournament.

Robinson played in 150 games this year and led the Cobras with 377 kills and was third in kills per game with 2.513. She also led the team in blocks with 153 (1.02 per game) and was second in service aces with 57.
She had earlier earned honors as the M-WAC Player of the Year and a first-team All-Region 24 selection.

This marks the third straight year that the Parkland Volleyball team has had at least one player earn All-American recognition. She joins Brooklyn Robbins (1st Team 2005 and 2006) and Christy Bushur (2nd Team 2006) as All-American's.
