They gave it their all and setters were no exception. In fact, many of the setters were huge leaders on their courts and were some of the standout players in their session!
Here are some of the class of 2023 and 2024 setters who took their game to the next level at the Top 250 Expo.
Lily Wagner Lily Wagner 5'11" | OH Germantown | 2023 State #118 Nation WI – 2024
Not only is Lily a great setter, but she is also one of the top athletes in the class of 2024. She is very fast and moves the ball around with the efficiency of a setter years older than she is. She has a great jump set that she utilizes well. She is competitive in both the front and back row and has the potential to be a truly incredible setter and athlete.
Rachel Koss Rachel Koss 5'11" | S Freedom | 2023 State WI – 2023
Rachel brings a grittiness and energy to the court. She has impressed me for several years as a smart and efficient setter. She has a lot of power and can push the ball pin to pin from anywhere on the court. She also makes great choices and is hard to read. Rachel has only continued to grow and improve over the past few years which makes me excited for what she will be able to do in the upcoming club and high school seasons.

Andi Spies – 2024
Andi is another setter that plays beyond her years. She makes connections with all of the hitters she plays with, even if it is only for a few plays. Andi has clean, fast hands and pushes the ball well. She is great at feeding the middle and spreads her sets out. Andi is also an awesome defender and has a powerful swing as well. She is a great all-around athlete with a ton of endurance and energy.

Savannah Brown – 2024
Savannah has a great command of the court. She has a positive presence every time she steps onto the court. She has nice hands and has a ton of potential. This was my first opportunity to watch Savannah play, and she really impressed me. I can’t wait to see her play during the upcoming club season!
Bryn Janke – 2024
Bryn has amazing hands. She has some of the most impressive form of all of the setters at session 2 of the expo. Bryn keeps the ball in front of her and is hard to read no matter where she is putting the ball. She is a fun setter to watch who is fast and gritty.
Mackenzie Scholz – 2023
Mackenzie impressed me with her speed. Not only to get to the ball but also in handling the ball. She has a very fast draw on her sets, something as a past setter and now coach I love to see. She gets to the ball so fast and has her hands drawn well before the ball is in her control. Because of this, she has great control of the ball.
Elena Dragani Elena Dragani S Catholic Memorial | 2023 State WI – 2023
Elena is another very fast setter. She has great hands and solid overall form. She is great at bettering the ball every time she touches it. Elena has a strong presence on the court and is developing into a great leader on the court. She is definitely a setter to watch in her grade!
Alexandra Kreutzmann – 2023
Alexandra is a really consistent setter who makes great decisions on the court. She moves the ball around really well and moves efficiently across the court. Alexandra has a lot of talent and impressed from start to finish at the Top 250 Expo. She has clean hands, always makes a play on the ball, and is very competitive on the court!
Ella Safar – 2024
Ella is a very technical setter. She has awesome form and has book-perfect form. She plays a very clean and efficient game of volleyball, which is impressive for such a young setter. Ella feeds her hitters well and moves the ball around quickly to a wide spread of hitters. She is a setter to watch in her grade!
These young setters are impressing on the court even through a tumultuous year. They have grit, determination, and are quickly growing as leaders on the court. All of them definitely stood out in the best way during the Top 250 Expo!
