We need to further fortify the middle blocker spot on our all-showcase team, and Clark is the perfect athlete to accomplish this. The West Des Moines Valley junior boasts a rare combination of physicality and lateral quickness, allowing her to overpower blockers on either side of the setter. She found her form during positional drills, especially as an up-tempo slide hitter. Clark’s dominant net presence translated well to our six-on-six drills and will carry similar weight with the Tigers.

I’m always decided to see the next wave of standouts at West Des Moines Valley. Clark brought a familiar medley of termination and ball control that has made Valley so stout in past seasons. This 2028 athlete looked right at home in Iowa Power Plex ‘s home gym and found success in various lineups in team drills. That adaptability will pay off as Clark competes with a stacked group of 15s across the Iowa Region. Postseason play awaits.
