Bio

At the high school level, Taryn Thuis earned Academic All-State honors, three sectional titles, one regional crown, one semi-state championship, and a runner-up finish at the Indiana State Finals. Known for her height, athleticism, and energy, she hopes to improve her jump serve and serve-receive while helping her team build strong chemistry at VU.

Off the court, Taryn is pursuing a degree in Legal Studies, with the goal of becoming a prosecuting attorney after first working as a paralegal in law school. She enjoys painting, cooking, baking, playing pickleball, and trying new foods, and describes herself as motivated by the desire to make her mom proud. Her motto, “Everything happens for a reason,” reflects the grounded outlook she brings to both athletics and life.

Taryn chose Vincennes University because of its close-to-home location, strong volleyball tradition, and welcoming campus atmosphere. She describes the best part of being an athlete at VU simply as “my coach,” highlighting the relationships and mentorship that drew her to the Trailblazers.

Coach Sien on Taryn...

"A local standout from Linton-Stockton with Indiana 2A state championship experience, Taryn stands 6-2 with a long reach, capable of hitting nearly any set run by the middles."
