WILLMAR — To be clear, Traci Grussing never retired from coaching.
Even when she left Central Minnesota Christian School in 2006 after taking the Bluejays to nine state tournaments in 10 years, she continued to coach Junior Olympic volleyball teams based in Willmar and Bloomington.
Also, in 2010, she was back on the Bluejays bench as co-head coach to take some of the pressure off former player Lindsey (VanderWell) Taatjes, a first-year coach with work obligations and expecting late in the fall season.
This fall Grussing returns to high-school coaching full time heading up the Willmar Cardinals’ program.
