Those teams out of Michigan have been showing up and showing out throughout the first two days of this wave. These athletes have been crushing the competition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's take a look at some of the top players from Michigan going off in Wave 4!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='535138' first='Briawna' last='Zimmerman'] - MVBTA</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's not too usual to see a small club of this size take on the open level the way MVBTA is. A huge key to their success has come from the middle with Zimmerman. A 6'1 middle blocker with a lot of range both offensively and in her blocking, Zimmerman has been lighting up the gym. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='200397' first='Dylann' last='Kelly'] - FaR Out</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another product from the west side, this is one of those highlight players from the 2025 class. On the pin for FaR Out, Kelly has been the go-to option for 17 Black. They're on the hunt for gold going into day 3 in 17 Premier much to the thanks of Kelly's ball control and ability to convert points in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='288958' first='Madelyn' last='Krappmann'] - Unified</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Unified has been an underdog team competing in open for the bulk of the season, at AAU Nationals, they're taking on the premier division and are currently 4-1. Krappmann on the left pin has been sensational. With a big arm that can go toe-to-toe with some of the heavier arms in the gym, she's leading this team quite well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='473958' first='Julia' last='Rodriguez'] - Michigan Elite</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Both MiElite's 1 and 2s teams are having quite the National run. For their Elite squad playing in 17 Premier, they're currently 5-1! A lot of this success is coming from the play of their middle blocker, Rodriguez. This is an uncommitted player that has real come a long way and has seemingly found her own here in Orlando. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='191143' first='Sidney' last='White'] - L2</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This player has been a really exciting addition to L2's 171 squad. After playing the entire 18s season with the 182 team, White has age corrected to the 17s and is looking real top notch for this team. While she's been seen plenty throughout her career on the right pin, White has been looking quite comfortable and effective on the left pin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
