Setters to Watch at the Top250 Expo in Southern California

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Setters are the quarterbacks of the volleyball court—masterminds who orchestrate the offense with pinpoint precision and a deep understanding of the game's flow. They dictate the pace, read the defense, and position their teammates for success. As college programs scout the next generation of talent, we are excited to see what these setters bring to the Top250 Expo in Southern California this Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Allow me to introduce you to 21 setters, each with unique skills and potential, seeking to make their mark on this event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Class of 2029</strong></h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='526557' first='Sydney' last='Rincon']</strong> – Sierra Canyon School | City 15 Gold | 5'9”</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Maren McBride</strong> – Notre Dame Academy | Actyve 14 Navy | 5'9”</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Class of 2028</strong></h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='727069' first='Molly' last='Katovsich']</strong> – Mater Dei | Momentous | 5'7”</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='746854' first='Caleigh' last='McDaniel']</strong> – Redondo Union | Los Angeles Volleyball Club | 5'8”</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='726292' first='Jamesyn' last='Wright']</strong> – Coronado | LJV 15-1 | 5'7”</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='507916' first='Addisyn' last='Gardenhire']</strong> – Frontier High School | DartFrog 16-Katie | 5'9”</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='694831' first='Emma' last='Lum Lee']</strong> – Mater Dei High School | Apex1 Volleyball -
