60. Janaya Weitkemper Janaya Weitkemper 6'0" | MB Battle | 2025 State MO – 6’0″ – MB – Battle/Mavs 816
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.
61. Kyleight Caskey – 5’9″ – OH – Grain Valley /Invasion
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.
65. Addison Reardon Addison Reardon 5'11" | MB St. Teresa's Academy | 2025 State MO – 5’11” – MB – St. Teresa’s/Invasion
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.
70. Annika Black Annika Black 5'10" | OH Rock Bridge Senior | 2025 State MO – 5’10” – OH – Rock Bridge/Mavs 816
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.
73. Kaitlyn Hanger Kaitlyn Hanger 6'2" | RS Pacific | 2025 State MO – 6’2″ – RS – Pacific/HPSTL
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.
75. Lauren Werth Lauren Werth 5'9" | OH Nixa | 2025 State MO – 5’9″ – OH – Nixa/417 Juniors
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.
76. Taylor Johnson Taylor Johnson 6'1" | OH Parkway North | 2025 State MO – 6’1″ – OH – Parkway North/HPSTL
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.
77. Madelyn Clarke Madelyn Clarke 6'1" | OH Fort Zumwalt South | 2025 State MO – 6’1″ – OH – Fort Zumwalt South/ Rockwood Thunder
Another good player with size, Clarke at 6’1″ is a pin who has made strides with her Rockwood Thunder team. Entering the rating at 77, she is a player who will continue to grow in the blocking department.
78. Henley Tarwater Henley Tarwater 6'0" | MB Battle | 2025 State MO – 6’0″ – MB – Battle/Alpha Omega
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.
79. Janey Van Dyke Janey Van Dyke 6'0" | MB Warrensburg | 2025 State MO – 6’0″ – MB – Warrensburg/Invasion
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.
