Harper Ulmer Harper Ulmer 5'9" | MB/OH Central Cass | 2029 State ND brings hustle to the middle. A lot happens around the net, and the work doesn’t stop after the first attack. Getting into coverage, reacting to a blocked ball, and getting back up quickly are all key parts of the position. Those second efforts can shift a rally’s momentum and give a team another chance to score. Harper has earned her spot among the ranked 2029 hitters, and that willingness to stay involved in the play is exactly what makes the middle position so valuable. ~Theresa@prepdigdakotas

Ulmer is a dominant middle hitter who couldn’t be stopped this past weekend at Spikefest. Playing up an age level, she was fed the ball time and time again and impressively continued to find ways to score. Quick off her feet and in her approach, she consistently found openings and made great decisions at the net. Her presence demanded attention, yet even when opponents knew the set was coming her way, they struggled to slow her down. Her combination of quickness, court awareness, and athleticism made her the center of the offense and a force that opposing defenses had difficulty containing.
