Personal:
Ronnie is the daughter of Karen and Ronnie Fountain and is a sister to Nicki Cornejo, Mandi Wilson, Ashley Fountain, and Jon-Eric Fountain. Ronnie chose TAMIUbecause of the atmosphere that surrounds the school. :The campus is beautiful and the town is lively with lots to do. The biggest factor for me was the girls on the team and the coaches. The players were so nice and we got along great. The coaches definitely sold me on the school, but what got me most was their love for the volleyball program. Just talking with them I could see that they were going to give this team their all and they were fully committed. I believe I couldn't have made a better choice for my next 2 years!" Her inspirational figures are her sisters Mandi and Nicki. After TAMIU Fountain wants to teach biology and coach volleyball at the high school level. In her free time, Fountain enjoys working out, reading, or hanging out with friends.
