She capped off a three-year varsity career at Corning East by being named to the first-team All STC team. She was also named to the all-Leader team and was awarded the United States Marine Corps Distinguished Athlete Award and the Truman L. Jacoby Memorial Award. Her East High team became the first Trojans squad to beat Horseheads in 22 years when they won the Sectional Class B championship.

Between her junior and senior years, Kelly was named to the Empire State Games where she served as captain of her team during the competition. She also played for the highly successful Southern Tier Volleyball Club under Horseheads coach Patti Perone.
