She is a four-year letter winner in volleyball at LaSalle, and also earned three letters in basketball and four in track. She earned all-league first-team honors as a junior and senior in volleyball after being a second-team selection as a sophomore. Her teams won the league and district titles all three years and finished sixth at the state tournament twice and seventh once.
In basketball, Standley helped LaSalle qualify for state twice. The team placed second in the 2B tourney during her sophomore year and third in the 1A tournament her junior year. The team also won the league and district championships all three seasons.
