Sports - Student Athlete of the Month
Meline Robarge
Meet your Tim Dahle Ford Student Athlete of the Month: Meline Robarge.

Meline (pronounced Meh-LEE-nay) recently received a Division 1 full ride scholarship to play volleyball for Idaho State University. She’s a killer outside hitter (pun intended), and brings the unique skill set of hitting left-handed. This makes for a deadly (there it is again!) right side attack which sets her, and her team, apart from the competition. Interestingly, Meline is right-handed, but she conscientiously trained herself at a young age to be a left-handed hitter, and soon learned that the skill was particularly marketable to make her stand out for colleges.
Meline started playing competitive club volleyball at the age of 11, but had already been playing volleyball more casually even before then. The sport runs through her veins - you can catch her playing (or coaching) at any time during the year, including just in the backyard with the family. Her dedication to the sport earned her a starting spot on the varsity team as a freshman, was voted as the Most Valuable Player as a sophomore, and has been named All-State Honorable Mention every year of her high school career.
As a student, Meline carries a 4.0 GPA and is every bit a math jock as she is for volleyball. Her hobbies include painting, baking, watching movies, and more than anything, spending time with family. Not to be left out is Meline’s second great passion - fishing. She loves to get out with her dad, uncles, and cousins as much as possible, and frequently fishes Salem Pond.
Congratulations Meline on your achievement on and off the court! Tim Dahle Ford would like to recognize your hard work with a $100 gift card — please visit the dealership for redemption at 2534 N 200 E, Spanish Fork.
