Wahoo’s memorable Cinderella bid in Class C1 started with Seagren’s effort and determination. She had a colossal 26 kills and four solo blocks during the Warriors’ four-set takedown of Scotus Central Catholic in the quarterfinals. Seagren led the charge again as Wahoo toppled No. 2 Pierce. This middle blocker dazzled us during her club career with VCNebraska , and now she has a prep conclusion we’ll remember for a long time.

Seagren’s career path has been fascinating to follow. She entered the spotlight with Oakland-Craig High School and eventually moved over to Wahoo’s powerhouse program. On the club side, Seagren has been a valuable asset for VCNebraska who can split time between middle blocker and opposite. Her ability to play these roles interchangeably is a true “x-factor” for VCN 17 Elite. The team’s 17 Open triumph final came in Salt Lake City, and Seagren will be prepared for this major opportunity.

We’ll go from Oakland-Craig to a former Oakland-Craig athlete who has made the move to Wahoo. Seagren was identified as a club athlete to watch this year, as she could play a multi-faceted frontcourt role with VCNebraska this spring. We’ve seen Seagren shine in the middle, but her recent prep reps have been skewed toward the pins, particularly on the right side. The narrative will surely keep evolving in the coming months.

How about another one of those middle-opposite hybrids? Seagren has done a little bit of everything. We remember the early days of her prep career when she anchored the Oakland-Craig middle blocker spot en route to a state championship. She now represents Wahoo High School and has shown her willingness to be an impactful pin attacker. The same can be said for Seagren’s club tenure with VCNebraska , and we’ll see if she keeps carrying the torch at opposite or gets reps at middle blocker.

Seagren has not wavered since becoming a new member of the Wahoo lineup this fall. The junior has spent time on the pin and in the middle throughout her prep career, including her admirable work with VCNebraska . Seagren is now putting down 2.7 kills per set with the Warriors and will likely get better as the stakes get higher.

While Venable showed positional flexibility at AAUs, Seagren proved she’s as solid as ever on the right pin. That doesn’t mean this Oakland-Craig prep star can’t adapt to different roles, however. After all, we’ve seen Seagren dominate at the middle blocker spot for the Knights. Regardless, her primary 2023 objective was to take over as 16 Elite’s leading opposite. Mission accomplished.

Seagren has made her mark as a middle blocker, particularly with a championship-winning Oakland-Craig program in high school venues. But her role with VCNebraska 16 Elite has revealed some incredible versatility. Seagren makes the seamless move to the opposite position for 16 Elite, and it allows this small-town talent to showcase her talent on the pins. Who knows what his fall might bring.

Seagren’s multi-faceted role continues to amaze. We know this small-town gem from her standout moments as a middle blocker in both prep and club, but that’s not the only position where Seagren can shine. Much of her recent dominance has come as an opposite, and that’s where she generated her highlight plays with VCN 16 Elite at NLQ.
