Two-time Olympic medalist Haleigh Washington made a surprise appearance on stage at "The Basement Yard Experience," a live tour hosted by best friends Joe Santagato and Frankie Alvarez, co-hosts of the hit podcast "The Basement Yard." 👏⁣
⁣
Washington is a three-time All-American who led Penn State to a national title in 2014 and a semifinal appearance in 2017. She helped the U.S. Women’s National Team secure its first-ever Olympic gold in 2021, then followed it up with a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Games. As a middle blocker, she’s also earned two Volleyball Nations League golds and was named Best Blocker in 2019. 🤩⁣
⁣
Most recently, she dominated in @lovbsl’s inaugural season, taking home the 2025 LOVB Woman of the Year Award. 💪⁣
⁣
She’s an icon. She is the moment. ⭐ #thegist⁣
