“Makes you feel really successful"- Harper Murray gives honest take on attending Chicago M&G event

Nebraska volleyball's Harper Murray recently opened up about her visit to Chicago at the Windy City National Qualifier. She is currently gearing up for the 2025 volleyball season.

Harper Murray is one of the most significant players on the Nebraska volleyball team, who made the AVCA All-America Second Team in 2024. She recently competed in the beach volleyball season, which saw her team attain a 22-game win streak. It recently concluded on March 22, and now they are gearing up for their showdown in the John Cook arena against the Kansas University team.

Amid the preparations, Murray visited Chicago in a meet-and-greet event arranged by Adidas. She shared several updates about her visit on social media, and most recently, she opened up about her visit in an interview with Hail Varsity, revealing the special experience she encountered with her fans. She called it a really special event and said that she was excited to attend this event. Further talking about how it made her feel successful, Harper Murray said:

"No, it was really special. They gave me that opportunity around, like, a month ago, and I've been looking forward to it ever since, and it was just really fun just to see all those little girls, like, want to come and be in my presence, whether they got to take a picture with me or not. Of course it just makes you feel really successful, and you feel like you've made your mark on people." (11:12 onwards)

She added:

"So, it was a really special day for me, and it was long, but it was really fun, and Chicago Windy City was one of my favorite tournaments that I got to go to when I played club, so it was really fun being back there, and I am just really thankful that Adidas gave me that opportunity."

Murray also recently revealed that she has been living her childhood dream as a pro volleyball player.
