Less than three months after receiving a liver transplant, Cal volleyball player Savannah Rennie is back in Berkeley.

Rennie underwent the transplant May 17 at Indiana University Transplant Center in Indianapolis, where she stayed several months for follow-up care before returning home briefly to San Diego. The sophomore outside hitter will re-enroll at Cal for the fall semester and will begin practicing — albeit on a significantly limited basis — when training camp opens Tuesday.

“We are so thrilled that Savannah is back home,” Bears volleyball coach Rich Feller said in a news release. “To have her back in the gym doing whatever she can do — it’s thrilling, it’s amazing, it’s heartwarming. We just can’t wait to see her back in there with knee pads on, in uniform, with a volleyball in her hands.”

Said Rennie: “I’m just so happy to be able to walk around here and see my friends and be a normal college student again.”

Rennie was an Under Armour third-team high school All-American at Torrey Pines-San Diego. A member of the U.S. youth national team, she was ranked the No. 20 Senior Ace by PrepVolleyball.com.

After graduating from high school a semester early, Rennie enrolled at Cal in the spring of 2015. She was with the Bears for spring practices before becoming sick in June. In September, Rennie was diagnosed with congenital hepatic fibrosis with portal hypertension, a disease of the liver most commonly found in infants and the elderly.

After complications related to the disease prompted repeated trips to the hospital, she learned in January that she needed a transplant. Rennie and her mother, Renee, lived in Indianapolis for two months before a liver became available.

Per NCAA rules, the name, image and likeness of a student-athlete can be used to help raise money for medical emergencies. As of 11 a.m. Friday, Rennie’s GoFundMe online page had raised $105,384, $5,000-plus more than its original fundraising target.

“I’m just looking forward to being back to normal, or as normal as possible,” Rennie said. “I’m never going to be normal again. I’m so eager just to get back in the classroom.”

She arrived Wednesday in Berkeley to find a surprise celebration, with teammates, coaches and plenty of balloons awaiting her at her apartment. Rennie will be suited up and on the team’s bench when Cal open its season Aug. 26 at Haas Pavilion. Soon enough, she hopes to become the first liver transplant recipient to play Division I women’s volleyball.

“To see her greeted by her teammates was a joyful, tearful reunion,” Feller said. “That really says a lot about the impact she had on us in the year she was already here.”
