2025 All-GCP Volleyball Team

Graphic Printing Company Player of the Year: Auden Hummel Winchester High School junior

Auden Hummel was selected as the second Graphic Printing Company Player of the Year for volleyball.

“I mean that’s a big deal and volleyball has become what my life is about,” Hummel said. “I’m constantly working and constantly training in practice to be the best at this game. So it means a lot that the work that I’m putting in is being recognized and noticed.”

Hummel led all players from the Graphic Printing Company’s coverage area with 425 kills, which was 103 more than the runner-up. The WCHS junior did that in 93 sets to average 4.57 kills per set.

All of that effort led to Hummel netting her 1,000th kill during the Golden Falcons’ loss to Northeastern in the sectional semifinal. (She had 16 kills in the match.)

“My team’s consistency helped a lot with all of the same girls coming back,” Hummel said. “We’re all comfortable with each other. … I know what my setter wants to do during this situation or during that kind of play because she’s set me for the past three years. … I think it was just understanding each other and how we all play together that helped me specifically. It helped me feel comfortable and ready for what I wanted to do next or the shot I wanted to take and just the little details in the game, knowing how my team reacts.”

Hummel also tallied 45 blocks, 42 aces, 204 digs and 16 assists.

Her leadership also helped Winchester to a 26-6 record that included a 16-match run in which they didn’t drop a single set.

“Auden Hummel is a player that is an important part of this team,” said WCHS coach Matt Curts. “She’s a six rotation player and a team captain. As a player she has a  lot of drive, enthusiasm and expectations and that siphons down to our other players.”
