Hall of Fame
A native of Fort Edward, New York, Jamie Lemieux Durkee ’10 made an immediate impact on a fledgling Castleton volleyball program. She arrived on campus in the program’s second season in 2006 and helped boost the team’s win total in her first year as a Spartan. She logged 228 kills and 133 blocks as a freshman and brought home North Atlantic Conference Honorable Mention and Team MVP honors individually. Her 1.56 blocks per set ranked 14th nationally and her 75 aces were among the nation’s leaders. She followed up as a sophomore with 170 kills and 68 aces, finishing sixth nationally with 1.13 aces per set to land NAC All-Conference Honorable Mention and Team MVP accolades once more. As a junior, she racked up 195 kills and 73 aces, finishing fifth in the nation in aces per set with 1.06. Her efforts as a junior landed her First Team All-NAC accolades and her third consecutive Team MVP award. She saved her best for last, setting the program single-season record that still stands at the time of induction with 276 kills and led the nation with 1.15 aces per set. She landed First Team All-NAC honors once more, and collected Team MVP honors for the fourth year in a row. Lemieux wrapped up her career with a program-record 875 kills, 299 aces and 295 total blocks—marks that all remain records at the time of induction. She works as a Client Relationship Manager for a private wealth management firm and resides with her husband and their children in Gansevoort, N.Y.
