Saelyn Raleigh enters her senior season as one of the most accomplished volleyball players in Kansas after helping Little River capture three consecutive Class 1A Division I state championships.
Sports in Kansas listed Raleigh as one of the state’s top volleyball players to watch in 2026.
The 5-foot-10 outside hitter earned First Team All-State and First Team State All-Tournament Team honors in 2025 after leading Little River to a 43-2 record and another state title.
Raleigh finished her junior season with 361 kills, 199 digs, 66 aces and 55 blocks, giving her career totals of 706 kills, 387 digs and 154 blocks entering her final high school campaign.
A standout multi-sport athlete, she has also been a key contributor to three state runner-up or championship basketball teams, including a Class 1A Division I state title in 2026.
Despite graduating key players, Raleigh is excited for the opportunity to lead a younger team and continue Little River’s tradition of success.
“I’m excited to compete one last time with this team and my friends during my senior season,” Raleigh told Sports in Kansas.
“Even though we’re a younger team and everything will be different this year, I think that’s what makes it special. We get to grow together, build something of our own, and prove what we’re capable of. I can’t wait to see where this season takes us.”
