Elliot Wirkus Elliot Wirkus 5'10" | OH/RS Triton Public School | 2028 State MN is playing with explosive tempo on either pin. Her last-two steps are aggressive and loaded, generating lift that allows her to contact well above the block. She’s staying square at takeoff and finishing high through contact, which has led to cleaner seam attacks and smarter high-hand usage. On the right side, her blocking footwork has sharpened — she’s pressing over the tape rather than absorbing contact.

What separates Wirkus right now is her transition urgency. She reloads immediately after first contact and demands involvement in extended rallies. The pace of her game has increased, and it’s producing results. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

College Watch: A physical, dual-pin attacker trending upward with improved tempo and finishing mechanics.
