‘Bros That Set The Gauntlet On Fire

Teams made the best of the Memorial Day weekend celebrating in Milwaukee by playing volleyball.  There was passing perfection and dynamic defense by a lot of players.  The competition was tough on every court at every level, and the great liberos made it even more exciting!  Ella Guilfoy Ella Guilfoy 5'9" | DS/L Roncalli | 2024 State IN – 2024 – 5’9 – Roncalli (IN) – Academy 16E Yeti  Guilfoy’s defense helped frustrate and whittle down the competition.  She does a really nice job helping set up the out-of-system passes, and she has a tough serve to throw the opponents off. Guilfoy does a really nice job controlling the 1st contact and giving her team the best chance of running in-system.  Gigi Navarrete Gigi Navarrete 5'6" | DS/L Mother McAuley | 2023 #51 Nation IL – 2023 – 5’6 – Mother McAuley Liberal Arts (IL) – 1st Alliance 17 Gold – Committed to Northwestern  Navarrete’s presence is electric.  She has a low stance that gives her an advantage as she takes a fast first step to the ball and gets some really great defensive touches.  I love to see a libero with speed and the ability to read, keeping her from going to the floor and making plays look easy. Navarette’s platform is strong, and she plays with a really positive and competitive vibe.   Jaimie Marquardt Jaimie Marquardt DS/L Libertyville | 2024 IL – 2024 – 5’9 – Libertyville (IL) – Sky High-Adidas 16 Elite  At 5’9 this gutsy 2024 from Libertyville High School commands the defensive game for her Sky High team. Marquardt has great quick-twitch reactions whether it is on defense or covering her attackers.  She does a great job making an impact on every play.  Marquardt’s play is sure to draw the attention of some colleges.  Karina May Karina May DS/L IL – 2024 – 5’6 – Adversity 16 Adidas (IL) May is lightning quick and really great at covering her hitters. She is a smart player with an enthusiasm for the game.  May does a good job of placing herself outside of the block and still in a position to read the hitters.  She gives all-out effort, strong passing angles, and spirited leadership.   Stella Wurm – 2025 – 5’5 – Hamilton Southeastern (IN) – Academy 15E Venom  This 2025 knows how to take care of her corner where high-level attackers love to score. Wurm is joined by a few of her high school classmates (Molly Bach and Kennedy Tinch) on this club team, which does wonders for the team chemistry.  Wurm creates plays by using her volleyball IQ along with focus.  Other Standout ’Bros:  Alexis Gardner Alexis Gardner DS/L State WI – 2025 – 5’6 – Mukwonago (WI) – MVP 15 Blue Ashley Hutter Ashley Hutter 5'6" | DS/L Pewaukee | 2025 State WI – 2025 – 5’6 – Pewaukee (WI) – Milwaukee Sting 15 Black  Bays Keller - 2024 – Oconomowoc (WI) – MVP 16 Blue Claire Luoma Claire Luoma 5'8" | DS/L Franklin | 2024 State #77 Nation WI – 2024 – 5’7 – Franklin (WI) – Milwaukee Sting 16 Gold Delaney Molloy Delaney Molloy 5'6" | DS/L Belvidere | 2024 IL – 2024 – 5’6 - Belvidere (IL)- Mission 16 Elite   Georgia Koscielak Georgia Koscielak 5'6" | DS/L Whitefish Bay | 2024 State WI – 2024 – 5’5 – Whitefish Bay (WI) – Milwaukee Sting 16 Black Josie Tingelhoff – 2025 – 5’7 – Lakeville South (MN) – Northern Lights 15-2 Jumana Martin Jumana Martin 5'6" | DS/L Appleton North | 2025 WI – 2025 – 5’6 – Appleton North (WI) – FC Elite 15 Navy  Kalliann Cook Kalliann Cook 5'5" | DS/L Birch Run | 2023 State MI – 2023 – 5’5 – Birch Run (MI) – MiElite 17 Mizuno  Kati Berezowitz – 2025 – 5’3 – Burlington (WI) – Milwaukee Sting 15 Gold  Lucille Larson Lucille Larson 5'5" | DS/L Northfield | 2024 State MN – 2024 – 5’5 – Northfield (MN) – Northern Lights 16-2   Larson with the dig, Kunze-Hoeg with the dish, and @TaylorMiedema with the 💥 for @nlightsvball 16-2 #PDGauntlet @PrepDigChris @PrepDig @PrepDigEvents @PrepDigMN pic.twitter.com/cay33jYi0O — Breit Nelson (@BreitNelson) May 28, 2022 McKenna Garr McKenna Garr 5'7" | DS/L Rush City | 2025 MN – 2025 – 5’7 – Rush City (MN) – Northern Lights 15-1 Paige Miller Paige Miller 5'10" | DS/L Kaukauna | 2023 State WI – 2023 – 5’10 – Kaukauna (WI) – FC Elite 17 Navy – Committed to Ohio  Reagan Owens – 2025 – 5’3 – Tri-Valley (IL) – Illini Elite 15 Cardinal  Samantha Kohl Samantha Kohl 5'9" | OH Kettle Moraine Lutheran | 2023 State WI – 2023 – 5’10 – Kettle Morain Lutheran (WI) – Milwaukee Sting 17 White Sydnie Hernandez – 2024 – 5’7 – Normal Community West (IL) – Illini Elite 16 Cardinal
