Kim Alano Fajardo (born September 30, 1993) is a Filipino volleyball athlete. She was the team captain of the De La Salle University women's volleyball team for Season 78 and 79.

Career

Fajardo first played volleyball when she was in Grade 2.[1] In high school, she was a member of the UST Junior Golden Tigresses, where she played as a utility spiker, later converted to setter after Rhea Katrina Dimaculangan graduated high school.[2] She was teammates with Alyssa Valdez in UST and the Philippine girls' volleyball team for the 2008 Asian Youth Girls Volleyball Championship where the Philippines finished in 8th place.[3]

In 2010, Fajardo enrolled at De La Salle University for her collegiate studies. Although enrolled as a college freshman, Fajardo had to sit out from the 2010 DLSU Lady Spikers roster to serve one year of residency for transferring from one UAAP school to another as imposed by the UAAP. As a member of the DLSU Lady Spikers, she has won three UAAP indoor volleyball (UAAP Season 75, Season 78, and Season 79) and one UAAP beach volleyball (UAAP Season 78) championships, respectively.[4] She was named Best Setter three times in her UAAP career, a feat only Jamenea Ferrer of the Ateneo Lady Eagles has achieved before her. She was the Best Setter in the UAAP in Season 76, Season 78, and Season 79 respectively. She is also named the Most Valuable Player of the beach volleyball tournament in the UAAP Season 78.[5] Although Fajardo has graduated from De La Salle University in June 18, 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts degree (major in Sports Management), she decided to play her final year of eligibility in the 79th season of the UAAP as the team captain for the second straight season. She was eventually named the Best Setter and the Best Server and also carried the young team to their second straight championship.

Fajardo was named Best Server in the 2014 Philippine National Games[6] and Most Valuable Player in the 2015 edition.[7] She also won two times the Best Setter award in the PVF Intercollegiate Volleyball Championship in 2013 and 2015.[8][9] In July 2016, Fajardo was given a golden ticket and was chosen as part of the Philippine Super Liga All-Stars to represent the country in the 2016 FIVB Volleyball Women's Club World Championship where she ended up as sixth in the Best Setter race.[10]

With F2 Logistics Cargo Movers Fajardo won the 2016 PSL All-Filipino Conference and 2017 PSL Grand Prix Conference[11] championships and Fajardo was awarded the Best Setter for both conferences.[12]
