High School: Lukianova is a big prospect with even bigger potential. The 6-foot-6 outside hitter has lots of experience playing in her native Russia. Lukianova has played for the VC Omichka club since 2013, playing for the junior team for three years before moving up to the Super League team in 2015. Lukianova helped her team win the championship of Russia, Siberia and the Far East in 2013 and finish second in the same tournament in 2014. Lukianova, who was a tennis player for seven years before trying volleyball in 2013, served as team captain of her Omsk youth team in 2014 and 2015 when they competed in the Russian Youth Championship.
