<p>We have some new additions to our updated 2025 rankings! Each update we attempt to find new players we believe showcased the skills and playmaking ability to join the club. Here are some of our highest new faces to know.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>60. [player_tooltip player_id='540290' first='Janaya' last='Weitkemper'] - 6'0" - MB - Battle/Mavs 816</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>816 Mavs had a productive spring in helping her team earn a bid to nationals during qualifier season. The 6-foot middle has impressed with her quickness off the floor and her ability to find the floor with swings and tips. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>61. Kyleight Caskey - 5'9" - OH - Grain Valley /Invasion</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Grain Valley and Invasion outside hitter made a splash this club season. She has been a key asset on the pin and in the back row, helping Invasion win the region's Freedom bid back in March. She enters the rankings at 61. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>65. [player_tooltip player_id='539974' first='Addison' last='Reardon'] - 5'11" - MB - St. Teresa's/Invasion</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Reardon enters the ranking for the first time after putting her game on display this spring for Invasion. By having more eyes on Invasion, this spring you are noticing a handful of players making their way into the 2025 rankings. Reardon is a middle who can score in front and behind the setter. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>70. [player_tooltip player_id='520604' first='Annika' last='Black'] - 5'10" - OH - Rock Bridge/Mavs 816</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Black is the newest pin to enter the rankings. The 5'10" pin from Columbia travels to Kansas City to play with 816 Mavs. She was an important factor in Mavs earning a USA bid this year. What I like about her game is her ability to mix up shots. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>73. [player_tooltip player_id='540292' first='Kaitlyn' last='Hanger'] - 6'2" - RS - Pacific/HPSTL</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hanger joins as a right-side hitter who brings many tools to the table. At 6'2", she has great size and length which causes problems for opposing attackers. Offensively, she has great reach on her attack and uses good angles to find the floor. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>75. [player_tooltip player_id='540287' first='Lauren' last='Werth'] - 5'9" - OH - Nixa/417 Juniors</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Nixa/417 pin had a strong spring that helped launch her into the rankings. Being what is considered undersized, that hasn't stopped her from gaining kills this spring with her high volleyball IQ. She does a good job of tooling the block or navigating around it. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>76. [player_tooltip player_id='412866' first='Taylor' last='Johnson'] - 6'1" - OH - Parkway North/HPSTL</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Johnson made a splash with her HPSTL team this year. She has a good cross-court shot in her arsenal. She makes her debut in the rankings at 76. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>77. [player_tooltip player_id='540295' first='Madelyn' last='Clarke'] - 6'1" - OH - Fort Zumwalt South/[program_tooltip program_id='428799' first='Rockwood' last='Thunder']</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another good player with size, Clarke at 6'1" is a pin who has made strides with her [program_tooltip program_id='428799' first='Rockwood' last='Thunder'] team. Entering the rating at 77, she is a player who will continue to grow in the blocking department. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>78. [player_tooltip player_id='540286' first='Henley' last='Tarwater'] - 6'0" - MB - Battle/Alpha Omega</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Alpha Omega volleyball had good play this spring from Tarwarter, who enters the rankings at 87. She has been an asset with her ability to affect the game offensively and defensively. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>79. [player_tooltip player_id='539975' first='Janey' last='Van Dyke'] - 6'0" - MB - Warrensburg/Invasion</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Van Dyke is another middle new to the rankings that showed she has the skills to make even a bigger jump in August. She enters at 79. Van Dyke was impressive this fall, as I saw her in her final high school game. I wanted to watch her through the spring and her game has gotten even better. </p>
