Anne Jankowski, daughter of John and Mary Jankowski and 2004 Skutt Catholic High School graduate, has signed a letter of intent with the College of Saint Mary Flames volleyball team, head coach Trish Siedlik announced on Thursday.

Jankowski and the Skyhawks finished 18-19 this last season. She will join former teammate and older sister, Katie, next season as the Flames take aim to defend their conference and regional crowns.

Jankowski, an All Conference (River Cities), and Honorable Mention All State selection, had 1154 career set assists for the Skyhawks from 2001-2003. She is the third Skutt volleyball player that will go through the program in addition to her sister. The first player from Skutt Catholic's head coach Laura Cushing's program, was Alison Helgoth, an All American middle hitter for the Flames from 1998-2001.

"Anne has the skills to push for a starting spot as a setter for our team. With the graduation of four-time All American setter, Marla Mach, this position can be filled by a couple of competing players. What makes our team so successful is our deep bench and the constant competition in practices. Anne is a tough competitor," said head coach Trish Siedlik.

She is also is a member of the National Honor Society and was an Academic All Conference selection.

Jankowski will join future recruits Jessica Crnkovich from Ashland Greenwood, Mandy Kreikemeier from West Point Central Catholic, and Erin Wood from St. Paul next season. Crnkovich, Kreikemeier and Jankowski currently play for the 18 and under Premier Volleyball Club under coach Rick Welch.
