Quinlynn Parish Quinlynn Parish 5'8" | OH Northfield | 2023 State MN jumped onto our rankings at #79 after making her commitment to play at Division 2 Southern New Hampshire. She is a feisty outside hitter that played for Northfield and is currently on M1’s 18-2 team. Another big swing broke into the rankings at #89 after making her commitment to play at NAIA Dordt. Ellie Weg Ellie Weg 6'1" | MB Worthington | 2023 State MN is a 6’1 middle blocker has a real nose for the ball as a blocker and adjusts to the set no matter where she is swinging on the net. High School and Club teammate Tarren Spartz Tarren Spartz 6'0" | OH Worthington | 2023 State MN joined the party right along with Weg which is really fitting considering those two put up a pretty intimidating block when they are in the front row together. This is quite the inseparable pair because Spartz will also be attending Dordt to play volleyball.
Parish’s club teammate, Emily Soukup Emily Soukup 5'11" | MB Faribault | 2023 State MN , found an opening at #92. This 5’11 middle blocker played for Faribault and will continue her volleyball career in the NAIA arena at Waldorf in Iowa. Northern Lights 18-Black has a defensive specialist/outside hitter, Alese Klempke Alese Klempke 5'8" | DS/L Shakopee | 2023 State MN , from Shakopee that hasn’t committed yet. She is 5’8 and actually takes a really nice swing out of the backrow, sets up a smart block, and sees the court across the net really well in order to know where to place the ball. As an outside she does a great job working around the block and using the hands of the blockers.
M1 has another great player that found their way into the rankings at #109. Anna Lervick Anna Lervick 5'9" | S Benilde St. Margaret | 2023 State MN is a versatile and all-around athlete that committed to play at Division 3 DePauw. She has solid fundamentals and I was having flashbacks while watching her swing down the line on the right side when not setting. That was always my favorite spot to get a kill. MN Select’s 18-3s provides us with #110 and Carthage volleyball commit, Abigail Trcka Abigail Trcka 5'10" | MB St. Paul Central | 2023 State MN . She is a 5’10 middle from St. Paul Central that does a great job tracking the ball from pin to pin and putting pressure on the attackers. Trcka also takes a really nice swing around the block and will work the ball of the hands.
Our next new name comes from Vital Volleyball ‘s 18-1 Gold team. Makina Larson Makina Larson 6'1" | MB Chaska | 2023 State MN breaks into the rankings at #112 as a 6’1 middle blocker from Chaska and she will be playing for UW-Eau Claire in the fall. Right behind Larson, Trcka’s club teammate, Ingrid Noha Ingrid Noha 5'10" | RS Centennial | 2023 State MN entered the rankings. Noha is a 5’10 right side hitter that will be competing at Division 3 College of Saint Benedict in the fall. Another MN Select teammate and College of Saint Benedict commit, Libby Burns Libby Burns 5'7" | OH Watertown Mayer | 2023 State MN , made her way into the rankings at #116.
