Day, a senior for the Hawks, impressed greatly this past weekend. She is fast in transition, up on almost every ball, and swings hard on the sets she is given. She swings smart on sets that are harder to hit, throwing in tips when necessary. Her “go” or “push 1” is incredibly effective, scoring almost every single time.

Now ranked #2 among middles and #6 overall in Oregon’s 2026 class, Day’s continued improvement has cemented her as one of the top prospects, according to PrepDig.

Her explosiveness off the ground, combined with impressive leaping abilities, allows her to challenge blockers and finish plays efficiently. Defensively, she reads attackers well and adjusts her timing to put up an imposing block.

Day was late to get on our radar, entering the rankings at our last update. However, her play this past club season and current high school as a middle blocker/right side affixed her as a top-10 recruit, according to PrepDig Oregon rankings. She is as athletic as can be, aiding in her ability to pivot quickly to be available in transition. She is explosive off the ground and has impressive leaping abilities. Also, the state’s #1 shooting guard, it is safe to assume Day would like to pursue both volleyball and basketball at the collegiate level.

However, she did not get on our radar until transferring to Nelson High School this past fall and earning the starting middle position. She had a breakout season and received Mt. Hood Conference First Team All-Leauge for her dominant play. While balancing the demands of her basketball schedule, she is playing up an age division for Athena 17-1 Gold.
