COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou Volleyball kicked off its 2017 recruiting class on Thursday with the signing of outside hitter Leketor Member-Meneh (St. Louis, Mo.), as announced by head coach Wayne Kreklow.
"We're very excited to add Lek to our Mizzou Volleyball family," Kreklow said. "She is not only one of the best pure athletes that we've ever had in our program, but she's also one of the best kids we've ever had. Her huge jump and lethal arm combined with her positive, infectious personality are going to make her a crowd favorite! Lek will fit perfectly into our up-tempo style of play. Mizzou fans are certainly going to enjoy watching her compete in Tiger black and gold for the next four years!"
"When I walked in at Mizzou, it just kind of felt like it was where I belonged," Meneh said. "I didn't hesitate to commit myself to Mizzou, like I may have with other schools I visited."
Before ultimately picking Mizzou, Meneh also considered Duke, Kansas State, North Carolina State and St. Louis.
Meneh is regarded as one of the country's top Class of 2017 recruits, as she garnered Third Team Under Armour Girls High School All-American honors and was tabbed the No. 48 prospect in PrepVolleyball's "Top 100 Senior Aces" rankings.
The past four years, Meneh solidified herself as one of the top prep volleyball players in the St. Louis area. In her 2016 senior campaign with Lutheran South High School, she led the area in kills (610) and kills per set (7.18).
Meneh's sensational senior season keyed the Lancers' first-ever volleyball State Championship in 2016. In the state-clinching match, Meneh posted a match high 19 kills and 10 digs.
Following the 2016 campaign, Meneh was named the Missouri Metro League Player of the Year. Additionally, she earned First Team Missouri All-State, All-District and All-Region accolades.
Meneh shined as a multi-sport athlete at Lutheran South High School from 2013-16, recording 1,000-plus career kills in volleyball and 1,000-plus career points in basketball. In her 2015-16 junior season, Meneh's 24.2 points per game ranked second-most in the St. Louis area. Additionally, she starred in track & field with the Lancers, finishing in second place in long jump in 2013.
The talented future Tiger also excelled in the classroom, as she was an honors student in all four years at Lutheran South.
