Thompson Rivers University Athletics

One of the most decorated student-athletes in Thompson Rivers University history, Iuliia Pakhomenko competed for the WolfPack women’s volleyball team for three seasons (2014-17). A dominant performer right from the start, Pakhomenko helped turn the program into a perennial playoff contender during her time with the ‘Pack.
 
Pakhomenko earned U SPORTS All-Canadian honours in each of her three seasons with the WolfPack, 1st team in 2015-16 as well as 2016-17 and 2nd team in 2014-15 while also being named U SPORTS Player of the Year in 2015-16. At the conference level Pakhomenko was a three-time Canada West 1st Team All-Star, the 2015-16 Player of the Year and is also the only member of the WolfPack to ever be named the Canada West Female Athlete of the Year, an award that encompasses all 12 Canada West sanctioned sports.
 
Joining a team that had not won a match for two seasons, Pakhomenko led the WolfPack to back-to-back sixth-place conference finishes and a pair of postseason berths. With her name littered throughout the Canada West record books, some of Pakhomenko’s many impressive achievements include: first in CW career history with 4.60 kills-per-set, second in CW single season history with 425 kills, second in CW single season history with 496.5 points, third in CW career history with .502 aces-per-set while also holding seven of the top ten highest kill matches in CW history.
 
A true game-changer when it comes to the history of TRU Athletics, Iuliia Pakhomenko will forever be one of the most outstanding student-athletes to represent the WolfPack.
