A three-time captain and team MVP, she is a four-time All-Conference and three-time Republic All-Area honoree. Dutro holds school records for career kills (1,118) and blocks (482) and was named IHSVCA South All-District and Academic All-State Gold Award winner.
 
Coach Shondell on Dutro- "Karen epitomizes The Butler Way. She has made a name for herself by dominating bigger and higher rated middles throughout her career and she plays with a fire that fits right into this era of Butler Volleyball. We can't wait for Karen to be in the building."
 
Why Dutro Chose Butler- "I chose Butler because of the wonderful academics and opportunities that are available through the university. I also love the girls and coaches in the volleyball program, and their culture centered around hard-work, passion, and striving for excellence. The Butler family made me feel at home right away, and I am so excited to be on campus!"
