Bailyn Olerich Bailyn Olerich 5'6" | DS/L Clear Creek-Amana | 2030 IA has always been and always will be one of the top ds’ in her class. She has all of the qualities that you look for in a libero. Olerich does a fantastic job creating clean first contacts for her setter and takes up as much space as possible on defense. She knows how and when to step up and run the back row and works extremely well with the girls around her. This kid has been on an upward trend with no intentions of slowing down.

Rockets 14s finished second at the Iowa Regional and competed in the National Division at the USAV Junior Nationals. A case could be made that defense keyed what was a very memorable season. Olerich contributed greatly to that cause. She stands out for lateral quickness and fast reaction time. Strong fundamentals result in consistency. Olerich reads the opposing attack and serves well. A smooth flow with match action on each point helps her get stationed to cover. Like Rockets, Clear Creek Amana does well in developing its back row, and early production from Olerich would not all be surprising at all.
