United States Justine Wong-Orantes is an Olympic medalist and a highly decorated libero with a distinguished career in professional volleyball and for the U.S. Women's National Team.
LOVB announced a partnership with SPANX to support women volleyball players both on and off the court. SPANX aims to introduce a new generation of girls and women to its brand and support them through this partnership with LOVB.
Adidas has an ongoing partnership with League One Volleyball (LOVB), signing a multiyear deal. This partnership involves outfitting professional volleyball players, including those on LOVB Houston, the team Justine Wong-Orantes plays for. Adidas has a history of volleyball partnerships, dating back to 2017.
Born on October 6, 1995, in Torrance, California, Justine Wong-Orantes demonstrated exceptional volleyball talent from a young age. Both her parents, Winnie Wong and Robbie Orantes, were volleyball players, and her father also coached the Mizuno Long Beach volleyball club. By age 12, she had achieved the youngest known player to ever earn a AAA CBVA rating by winning a AAA beach tournament, partnering with Summer Ross. Initially playing as a setter at Los Alamitos High School and leading her club team to a national title, she transitioned to libero after being scouted by Nebraska head coach John Cook, who saw her potential despite her being considered undersized at 5’6″.
Justine attended the University of Nebraska, where she excelled in both beach and indoor volleyball. She was a key player in the Nebraska Cornhuskers’ 2015 NCAA DI championship victory. Her collegiate career was marked by numerous accolades, including being a two-time AVCA First Team All-American in 2015 and 2016, and a two-time Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year in 2015 and 2016. She concluded her Nebraska career as the all-time leader in digs with 1,890. After college, Justine began her professional career in Germany, playing for Schweriner SC from 2019–2020, VC Wiesbaden from 2020–2022, and SC Potsdam from 2023–2024. She also played for Béziers Volley in France from 2022–2023. In 2024, she joined LOVB Omaha, an American professional team.
Justine’s international career has been highly successful. She joined the U.S. Women’s National Team in 2016 and quickly became an integral part of the squad. In 2021, she was named Best Libero at both the Tokyo Olympic Games, where the U.S. won a historic gold medal, and the FIVB Volleyball Nations League, which the U.S. won for the third consecutive time. She continued her Olympic success by earning a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Her achievements also include a silver medal at the 2019 FIVB World Cup, gold medals at the Pan American Cup in 2017, 2018, and 2019 (where she was also named Best Libero), and a bronze medal at the 2017 FIVB World Grand Champions Cup. Her consistent high-level performance has established her as a prominent figure in international volleyball.
