Beach Bits: • Five of Wilkerson's first six FIVB main draw match wins (excluding a forfeit win) were against beach Olympians (Melissa Humana-Paredes, Juliana Felisberta, Chen Xue, Laura Giombini and Marta Menegatti, Kristyna Kolocova) 2025: Wilkerson and Humana-Paredes played in one AVP event, placing third in the season opener. The duo again played for the Palm Beach Passion in the AVP League, and for the second time finished with the league's second best record (6-2). They won their semifinal match but lost in the finals of the League Championship, finishing in second place. Internationally they competed eight times, winning one gold medal in Montreal to go with six fifth-place finishes, including in the the World Championships in Australia.
2024: Wilkerson and Humana-Paredes played in two AVP events, winning both while finishing with a 10-1 match record. The two players competed for the Palm Beach Passion in the inaugural AVP League season, ending with a 5-3 match record, the second best in the regular season. Internationally they played in seven events, winning three silvers and placing seventh in the Tour Finals. In the Paris Olympics the duo was seeded fourth but needed to win a lucky loser match after going 1-2 in pool play. The pair then won three straight matches to reach the gold medal match but lost in three sets.
2023: Wilkerson continued her new partnership with Melissa Humana-Paredes, playing in five AVP tournaments. The duo won the season opener in Miami and placed second three times. On the World Tour Humana-Paredes and Wilkerson played 10 times, finishing fifth or better each time. They won two golds and one bronze, and placed fifth in both the World Championships in Mexico and the World Tour Finals. The pair also placed second in the Pan Am Games.
2022: Wilkerson played four AVP tournaments with Zana Muno, getting two fifths followed by two thirds. Then in the season finale in Chicago she played with Melissa Humana-Paredes for the first time and the duo placed second after losing twice to the same team. Internationally Wilkerson formed a new partnership with Sophie Bukovec. In their first three events they lost in the qualifier, placed fifth and then ninth. Then in their fourth outing they won a silver medal in the World Championships in Rome. In all they played seven tournaments and had that silver plus three fifths. They also won a gold in the only NORCECA event together. 2021: Wilkerson and Hughes had a seventh and two fifth-place finishes in their three AVP competitions. Wilkerson and Bansley played eight FIVB events with a best of fifth four times. The last of those was in the Tokyo Olympics, where the duo was seeded 10th, one of four double-digit seeds to finish fifth or higher. 2020: Wilkerson and Hughes played in all three AVP events in Long Beach, getting a second, a third and a fifth. Wilkerson and Bansley played just once internationally, finishing in ninth place. 2019: Wilkerson played four AVP tournaments with three different partners. She had sevenths with both Kelly Cheng and Brooke Sweat, then teamed up with Sara Hughes to place third twice. Wilkerson and Bansley won gold medals in both of the first two FIVB events (which actually took place in late 2018), and added two bronze medals in their 11 FIVB tournaments. The duo was seeded third but finished 17th in the World Championships in Hamburg. In an Olympic qualifying tournament held in China, Wilkerson and Bansley were seeded third but finished in 13th place. 2018: Wilkerson and Branagh played just once on the AVP Tour, finishing second in New York City with both losses to the same team. Wilkerson and Bansley played 10 times internationally, winning a gold medal in Warsaw to go with a a silver and two bronzes. The pair placed fifth in the World Tour Finals. They also won a silver medal in their only NORCECA tournament and won a p1440 title. 2017: Wilkerson competed on the AVP Tour for the first time. She teamed with Branagan Fuller for two events but lost in the qualifier both times. Then in Manhattan Beach she played alongside Nicole Branagh for the first time and the duo overcame a second round loss to reach the finals, but lost to the same team that beat them earlier (Emily Capers / Brittany Hochevar). Wilkerson and Branagh then placed fifth in the season finale in Chicago. Wilkerson and Bansley continued their partnership internationally, playing in eight tournaments. They had a best of fifth twice, including in the World Championships in Vienna, and placed ninth in the World Tour Finals. Additionally, they won a silver medal in their only NORCECA event and placed fifth in the Long Beach President's Cup. 2016: Wilkerson and Gordon played four FIVB events with a best of ninth, then Wilkerson paired with Heather Bansley for the first time in the World Tour Finals in Toronto and placed ninth after defeating Melissa Humana-Paredes and Sarah Pavan in the country quota match. Wilkerson and Gordon had five podium finishes in their nine NORCECA events, including one gold, three silvers and one bronze. 2015: Wilkerson began a new partnership with Julie Gordon and they played eight times on the FIVB Tour. They lost in either the country quota or qualifier in each of the first seven tournaments, then placed 17th in China. The duo also played three NORCECA events with a best of a silver. 2014: Wilkerson and Seguin played twice on the FIVB Tour, getting a 25th and a 17th, and in five NORCECA events with a best of fourth. 2013: Wilkerson and Claudia Seguin played in two NORCECA events, finishing in sixth and third place.
College: Wilkerson played four seasons of indoor volleyball at York University, and was a teammate of beach partner Melissa Humana-Paredes all four years. Wilkerson was the York Female Rookie of the Year.
Personal: Wilkerson's mother, Stephanie, completed two Ironman races and her father, Herb Johnson, played college basketball at Tulsa, helping them to three NCAA Tournament appearances and Top 20 finishes. He was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers and played professionally in Japan and Switzerland. Wilkerson was born in Switzerland and moved to Canada when she was seven years old. She did not start playing beach volleyball until 2013 after being inspired by watching the London Olympics.
