Meidlinger just keeps steadily improving as a volleyball player. With that said, there’s potential for plenty more, an exciting prospect. The Liberty High junior is a powerful performer at the opposite pin. Her swing is heavy and dangerous, especially when getting a clean attack. Meidlinger is getting better at reading the blocks and directing her hits accordingly. Height, long arms and timing help in defending the net. All of her strengths shined through when watching her at the 2026 Nike President’s Day Classic in St. Louis. There’d been progress made since scouting her multiple times during the prep season, when she 124 kills (.159) and 28.0 blocks in 63 sets.

Coming off a club campaign that saw her game grow, Meidlinger has taken another step forward this fall during school ball. More of a role player as a sophomore in 2024, she’s become a key cog in Liberty’s strong start this season. Meidlinger balances the attack with an aggressive and powerful approach from the opposite pin. It led to her 52 kills and 9.0 blocks ranking among the Lightning leaders. Those numbers confirm her contributions as a two-way player. With another year of high school remaining after this one, Meidlinger has time to push towards her potential and makes her one to monitor moving forward.
