Whether attacking aggressively or leading her teammates, Long's presence is hard to miss.

With her quick approach, explosive vertical, and dynamic swing, Cronen stood out among her peers. She consistently found ways to score through kills or tactical plays that disrupted opposing defenses. Her ability to read the game and make decisive plays was evident throughout the showcase. Currently playing for Union Volleyball Club, Cronen's skill set and potential make her an exciting prospect to watch as she develops.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Class of 2027</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["484250"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-674f5f9f8c0b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'1", [player_tooltip player_id='727157' first='Teagan' last='Kondik'] dominated the outside hitter position during the expo.
