Standing at 6'1”, she is an incredibly complete six-rotation setter. Given her height, she can easily play across the front row; whether setting or attacking, Levick makes her presence known. Her setting capabilities are next level, with a high contact point, a soft touch, and a quick release on the ball. She prioritizes establishing her middles early on and continues to get them involved in the offense consistently. She exhibits good court vision, and is an offensive threat on the well-placed dump. Across the front row, she puts up a massive block, sealing with the net and pressing back into the court aggressively. Her eye work to line up with the opposing attacker is impressive to watch. When utilized as an attacker, she has a quick arm swing and can hammer the ball around the block. Skill aside, she is a constant communicator and leader for her teammates.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Levick has been an integral part of Glencoe High School's varsity team since her freshman season, starting as an attacker and setter depending on the team's needs. As a three-year varsity captain, Levick's leadership and skill have been instrumental in the success of the team. During her senior season, she led the Pacific conference in service aces. She has been a Pacific First Team All-League selection since her sophomore season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Levick has remained a constant presence on OJVA national-level teams throughout her club journey, finishing her prep career with OJVA 18-1 Gold. Her role this season continues to be that of a setter/attacker, splitting setting duties with [player_tooltip player_id='249445' first='Kendall' last='Mairs'] (℅ 2025). In the Open division, the team has dominated, resulting in a single loss to NPJ Forefront, holding an impressive record of 16-1. With the upcoming CEVA regional tournament this weekend, OJVA 18-1 Gold is the #1 seed and is determined to stay on top.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the classroom, Levick maintains a 4.02 GPA and is a member of the National Honors Society. She is also a part of the Glencoe track and field team, competing in high jump and discus. She is passionate about working with children who have developmental disabilities, spending time teaching them life skills.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A commit to Old Dominion University, we are eager to see Levick shine for the Monarchs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With these aforementioned skillsets and qualities, [player_tooltip player_id='391924' first='Elisabeth' last='Levick'] proudly earns her spot as one of PrepDig's esteemed Golden Athletes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
