Georgia Tech welcomed libero and defensive specialist Cara Bianco to its volleyball team.
Georgia Tech volleyball coach Michelle Collier announced the formal signing of Bianco in a news release.
“I am excited for Cara to join our program,” Collier said in the Jan. 13 release. “She has competed at a very high level during her club and high school career and is going to bring in lots of talent and winning experience into our gym.”
Bianco will join the team later in 2022.
The Milton resident was a four-year letter winner at libero for Blessed Trinity High School, where she also served as captain for a season. She helped lead the Titans to four regional championships and, in 2019, the state championship.
Bianco has seen success at the club level. She has earned bronze medals at 13 Open AAU Nationals, 15 Open AAU Nationals, 17 Open AAU Nationals and 17 Open USAV Nationals.
"Individually, the talented newcomer has racked up multiple accolades as she has been named to two all-region teams, two all-state teams, the 2020 SFTC All-Tournament team and a bevy of AVCA honors such as appearances on the AVCA Phenom List three consecutive times and the all-region team, all-America list and the “Best and Brightest” team in 2021," Georgia Tech's website reports. "The future Jacket’s stats reinforce her honors as she’s tallied over 1,000 career digs."
In September, Bianco posted to Twitter about her decision to play Volleyball for Georgia Tech, ending her post by saying, "Go Jackets!"
Bianco has garnered Magna Cum Laude honors in the classroom and volunteered with Meals by Grace, Habitat for Humanity and the St. Peregrine Club. She plans to major in business administration.
