We were treated to an MVP-worthy performance from our top-ranked prospect in Iowa’s Class of 2028. It doesn’t get much better than that. Hatlevig’s explosiveness, contact point, and attacking range on the left side were nearly unmatched at the Midwest National Tune-Up. She is the primary catalyst of Iowa Premier 16-1’s scoring prowess, and Hatlevig would not be denied en route to the tournament title.

Elle Hatlevig Elle Hatlevig 6'1" | OH Norwalk | 2028 State #76 Nation IA has been putting up plenty of points in her two years at Norwalk.  She is nearing 900 career kills.  What she brings to the court is a total six rotation game where she can serve receive, pass, attack, and is the type of attacker who can score out of system.  She has shown she can score points at a high level where her Iowa Premier 15-1 team qualified for USAV 15 Open. This past summer she attended camps at Iowa State, Kansas State, Minnesota, South Dakota, Miami, and UNI.  She is also a state placewinner in the high jump.  She will be one who could be a fast commit come June 15.  

Elle Hatlevig is emerging as the top player in Iowa’s Class of 2028.
