Prep Dig Network Athletes Selected To USAV Girls Youth National Training

USA Volleyball has announced their Girls Youth National Training squad comprised of some of the top athletes in the country. This elite list has the top prospects in the Class of 2022 and 2023, some of which have already committed to top college volleyball programs. Prep Dig is fortunate to have a strong contingent of athletes within our states we cover. Here is a quick glance at those representing the stars and stripes for USA Volleyball.   [caption id="attachment_93811" align="alignright" width="262"] [player_tooltip player_id="66319" first="Harper" last="Murray"][/caption] [player_tooltip player_id="66319" first="Harper" last="Murray"] - Legacy (MI) Class of 2023 Murray is the top 2023 athlete in the state of Michigan and has already made her mark to start her career at Ann Arbor Skyline High School and Legacy Volleyball out of the Detroit area. Her older sister, Kendall will head to the University of Michigan this fall and I’m sure they have their eye on Harper as do plenty of top programs being in the middle of Big Ten country. Murray has a loose arm, major hops, and a swag that is tough to teach. Her team blazed through the Triple Crown Invite in Kansas City to win the 15s title.   Nya Bunton - KIVA (KY) Class of 2023 Being part of the KiVA program, Bunton is going to have the training, but she has plenty of physical tools to go with. At 6’3, she has such a solid blend of physicality and athleticism getting from pin to pin to seal the block and watch out when she has a chance to attack on a slide. Such force and power. She can run a variety of routes and is so effective on offense and defense. [caption id="attachment_96558" align="alignright" width="385"] Allick[/caption] Bekah Allick - VCN (NE) Class of 2022 - Committed to Nebraska Allick is a physical presence at the net where she has been playing two age levels up for VCN out of Lincoln. An early commit to Nebraska, Allick can play in the middle or on the right side. She has the strength and training to shut down an opposing outside hitter. Her versatility at the net will be a welcome addition to any team.   [player_tooltip player_id="22407" first="Mckenna" last="Wucherer"] - Milwaukee Sting (WI) Class of 2022 - Committed to Minnesota Wucherer made waves in the recruiting world when she committed to the Gophers as an 8th Grader. She has only continued to improve her game since, playing two age levels up on the Sting 18 Gold team this past club season as well as earning USAV HP MVP Honors and All American Honors at USAV 16 Open in 2019. Wucherer can do everything a six rotation outside hitter needs to do with being able to score points in bunches in the front row as well as be a solid defender who is always an outlet from the backrow as well. [caption id="attachment_93669" align="alignright" width="300"] Carter (White Jersey)[/caption] [player_tooltip player_id="79232" first="Lauren" last="Carter"] - Club Ignit Select (IA) Class of 2022 - Committed to Denver Carter might be the highest IQ setter you will find for her age level.. She plays with poise and maturity well beyond her years which results in bringing the best out of her teammates. This past February she played a huge part in Club Ignit Select’s Triple Crown title in the 16s Division. She can set a variety of tempos, hold the opposing middles, and creates a big window for her hitters to blast away.   [player_tooltip player_id="82282" first="Saige" last="Damrow"] - FC Elite (WI) [caption id="attachment_70391" align="alignright" width="300"] [player_tooltip player_id="82282" first="Saige" last="Damrow"][/caption] Class of 2023 - Committed to Wisconsin Damrow has always played at least two age groups up, getting plenty attention as a 7th grader on a 15s team for FC Elite. With being on the radar early, it helped jump start her recruiting where she gave her verbal to the Badgers her 8th grade year before new rules went into effect. Damrow has range, plenty of athleticism, and a solid platform to put the first contact on point for her setters to run the show. In the high school season she can also swing on the pin. Damrow is Prep Dig Wisconsin’s top prospect in the Class of 2023.   Ella Swindle - KC Power (MO) Class of 2023 Swindle has been on the radar for a while and she has just completed her Freshman year of high school and has experience training with USAV A1 and plays for KC Power which is always one of the top clubs out of the Midwest, competing for USAV Open bids and national titles. She can move quickly across the court to get her hands on the ball while also running a variety of tempos. With her length she is a threat at the net offensively and a major block as well.   [player_tooltip player_id="85895" first="Chloe" last="Chicoine"] - CIrcle City (IN) Class of 2023 Watch Chicoine jump and that will do the talking. The Class of 2023 outside hitter from Circle City in Indianapolis can do some special things on the pin, but is one of those swiss army knife type of players who can do just about everything. Teams could utilize her in the backrow as someone who can put a serve reception on point or an outlet who can swing. Chicoine has been playing up on the Circle City club teams and is scoring points against some of the toughest competition in the country, such an electric player.
