Ruthie Oliphant is from Denton, Texas, and sports have been a part of her life for as long as she can remember. She recently completed five years of collegiate volleyball at Southeastern Oklahoma State University, where she earned both a Bachelor of Science and a Master’s degree in Sports Administration.

Her relationship with Christ is the foundation of who she is and remains a central passion in her life. As she pursues a career in coaching, Ruthie is excited for the opportunity to not only help athletes grow on the court but also to share God’s love and truth through everything she does. She believes that sports provide an incredible platform for building character, leadership, and faith — and she’s grateful to be stepping into a role where she can live that out every day.
