I saw Olmstead twice during the high school season, and I was blown away by the athletic tools she brings to the floor. I would guess she is the best pure athlete in the class in Wisconsin, and she’s as productive as she is without being as seasoned as other players in the Fox Valley or Milwaukee area may be at her age. She’s a fairly raw prospect, but she has all the physical tools to turn heads.

The multi-sport athlete plays for Team Compete, based out of Southwest Wisconsin, and its new program, which allows kids and families not to have to travel hours for not only events, but even to practice. Olmstead is a player in their ranks at the 15u level that any D1 coach in the region should see. She’s an elite athlete and has the tools to continue to grow on both ends of the floor.

Few kids come out of nowhere like OImstead did in her first season of high school basketball. The Lancaster native wasn’t a player who came from a traditional talent hotbed in Wisconsin or played for one of the traditional powers on the grassroots scene. The impressive 2029 prospect plays for Team Compete and can do things most kids in the state can’t. The athletic tools Olmstead will likely lead to her winning or, at the bare minimum, competing for a State High Jump crown this Spring. Olmstead led her Flying Arrows team to a Regional Title for the first time in about two decades, and was one of the top-ten scorers in the state, and she’s still far from where her ceiling could be.

I first saw Olmstead by chance because I wanted to see a team Lancaster played against, and I left that game incredibly impressed by the Flying Arrows newcomer. Olmstead is an elite athlete who can make plays on either end of the floor at any time. She can get to the basket and play through contact around the basket, and I also love her defensive effort whenever she’s on the floor. She is a player people around the state will learn about.
