Caycee set a 5/1 for Georgetown Day. They won the DC state championships (DCSAA) as well as the Independent School League (ISL) championship. To top it all off she won the DC Gatorade Player of the Year award. Those were her accomplishments for the 2025 high school season.

Her initial introduction to the rankings was her ability to set for Metro and succeed in an Open environment. Her 5’7″ height at that level of play made it challenging to put up a block so she normally set a 6/2. A taller right side would come in for her in the front row. She won the best setter award at the Capitol Hill Classic for 14 Open in 2023. Her setting helped get Metro to a 21st place finish out of 48 teams in Junior Nationals Open Division this year. The previous year they took second in the National Division.

While she stands 5’7″ she carries an approach jump of 9’6″ which would meet Division I standard guidelines for a setter. She is credited with 15 blocks, one solo block for the Mighty Hoppers. That ranks fourth on the team. She certainly brings the skills to benefit a lower Division I university.

Caycee Chhum brought a high level of deception and control to her offense. What stood out right away was how well she used her body and eyes to manipulate blockers. She consistently held the middle just long enough before releasing to the outside or right side, creating seams that her hitters were able to take advantage of.

She ran a smooth mix of routes—connecting on quicks in the middle, then stretching the floor with tempo to the pins. Her back sets were especially effective, delivered with consistency and pace. Caycee also showed confidence, incorporating setter dumps at the right moments, keeping defenses honest. Her ability to disguise and deliver made her one of the more difficult setters to read on the day. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
