Kailey, coming into the season hot and rolling from the club season, the transition doesn’t seem to be an issue for this tough libero. She is well-versed in competition and has the ability to handle anything thrown her way. Composure with skill, Kailey is in her stride this season, racking up 102 digs, 10 aces, and 15 assists just to get started. Lucky for Illinois, who gets to stake a claim to this backrow dawg, even though she is on the border of Missouri. 

We are going to head to Western Illinois and the St. Louis suburbs where we find one of the top liberos in the Illinois Class of 2029.  Kailey Lane Kailey Lane 5'4" | DS/L Belleville (East) | 2029 IL preps at Belleville East, an Illinois suburb of St. Louis and plays for the Rockwood Thunder 15 Elite squad who has had a big 2026 season. They have an open bid to USAV Nationals in Indy.  What is impressive about Lane’s game is her range.  She covers such a large portion of the court in serve receive and defense where she can anticipate extremely well.  Lane and her Rockwood Thunder 15 Elite team will be at the Prep Dig Gauntlet in Milwaukee June 6-7.
