Iowa Premier will be making the trip to Salt Lake from the Des Moines area where they have an open bid on their mind.  This is the top team in the Iowa Region where they already have an national bid to Indy.  Wiederin will be a highly sought after 2028 pin attacker.  Her length and athleticism is what sets her apart.  She is able to use the block to her advantage off a quick tempo shoot to the outside and is able to adjust based on the defense.  There is a lot of upside to her game where she has continued to improve each time she steps on the court. 

I remember watching Hailey Wiederin Hailey Wiederin 6'2" | OH/RS Ankeny | 2028 State IA this club season for Iowa Premier and was impressed with her length and attacking ability.  But there is nothing better than seeing an athlete thrive on a large stage.  At the state tournament, she was a key player for Ankeny in their quarterfinal five set win against Dowling when she collected 18 kills in five sets.  There is a big upside to the game of Wiederin.  She has positive intangibles, big wingspan, and will be an prospect that instate volleyball programs would love to get. 

Wiederin stood out when I scouted her during the club campaign. She looked like a rising star with a high ceiling. When watching her again at the Live Like Line Tournament during the early part of the 2025 season, she confirmed herself as a factor with whom opponents must contend. On a loaded Ankeny roster, she was settled in on the right side for this event. Wiederin looked comfortable and impactful in that role. The attack from there impressed just as much as when she was hitting outside in club. Truthfully, Wiederin could succeed anywhere across the front of the net. She’s tall with long arms and athleticism. Through her team’s first 21 matches, she led it in kills and ranked second in blocks.
