SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, July 6,2018 – Veteran middle blocker Annerys Vargas, who has been a mainstay in the Dominican Republic team since 1998,was awarded on Wednesday at the Olympic Gala sponsored by the Dominican Republic Olympic Committee.

 

Vargas received a trophy as the most outstanding Dominican player in 2017.

 

Annerys was the best blocker at the NORCECA Group A Qualifier to the 2018 FIVB World Championship and claimed the same honor at the 2017 FIVB World Grand Prix.

 

The slender athlete helped Dominican Republic to win the silver medal at the Pan American Cup in Cañete, Peru where she was included as the first middle blocker in the All-Star Team.

 

Taking in consideration those achievements, the presidency and the technical staff of the Female National Project of the Dominican Federation decided to recommend Vargas who debuted as a 17 year-old girl and continues to be a key piece in her national team.
