Such a fun weekend getting a chance to see NORCO 17 Black compete at the Northern Lights Qualifier in 17 Open.  They found themselves in the third round of gold pools just finishing outside of a bid.  One of the big terminators of this group is Madlen Gloessner.  For those in Colorado I’m sure she is a high school volleyball household name, but she need to be one who the country knows about. She’s 6’5 and moves like a deer.  She’s smooth, she glides, and she can definitely leap.  My favorite was seeing her run a slide where it was game over for the other side once she swings.  There are flashes of another Colorado native who is starring at Nebraska – Andi Jackson.  Gloessner spent time on the U17 national team this fall and she will be one of the top priority middles for college coaches from the Class of 2028.
