The Beach VBC Junior Championship Series is Heating Up! Here are the Latest Results and Standings!

A collection of some of the best beach volleyball players in the Pacific Northwest gathered at Bottega Fitness Park September 20 for the second event of the Beach VBC Junior Championship Series.  The competition was fast and furious with each team getting a minimum of three best 2/3 matches and most playing four or five.  The Seahawks game played on the bigscreen TV on the deck and champions were crowned before 3pm so everyone had a chance to enjoy their Sunday afternoon before returning to school on Monday. 

Logan and Elizabeth won the junior future competition.  It was their first event of the series.  They are 10 points behind Olivia Morgan, who finished second with partner RJ Quiban.  Olivia also has a third place finish from the first event in the series to give her the lead. 

Deahna Kraft and Jess Clark won the Junior Open Division.  This puts them in the series lead with two event remaining.  They won an exciting final against the very talented duo of Chloe Loreen and Lanai Hurd.

Local Athletes Have a Great Start to the 2015 Beach Season!

It's early in the 2015 Beach volleyball season, but we are already seeing athletes taking advantage of their early season training by posting some impressive results in the early season qualifier tournaments. Keep up the hard work everyone and keep doing a great job of representing when you head out to play.

 Cyrene and Deahna have won an AVPNext Series event, an Alki U18 event and finished top of the silver division at an Alki Women's Open event!  

 Bailey and Maya have won bids on back to back weekends!  In Las Vegas, the girls won the U16 division and a bid to the AAU Junior Olympics.  The following weekend in Vancouver, WA they won the U16 Division of the Pacific Northwest Open and a bid to the USA Junior Beach Tour National Championships!

Logan and Elizabeth won the U12 Division of the Pacific Northwest Open and qualified for the USA Junior Beach Tour National Championships.  The weekend before they posted two runner up finishes in U14 events and a fifth place finish in a U18 event.  Not too shabby for a couple of 11 year olds!

Cyrene and Natalie are Champions at Alki Opening Weekend

Cyrene and Natalie came up golden at Alki. 

Natalie and Cyrene got together to celebrate Natalies 15th birthday in an unconventional way on Sunday.  They won not the U16, not the U18 but the collegiate (U20) division of the first tournament of 2014 at Alki beach.  The team won back to back three set matches in the semifinals and finals as they worked through some early season rust to claim the title.  They will be amongst the top contenders to win the bid to the USA Volleyball High Performance Championship when they play in the qualifier at Bottega Fitness on June 14. 

Congratulations are also due to Maya and Kelly and Nichole and Lauren who both qualified for the gold bracket of the very large 16s division.  Although their days didn't finish up golden, both teams showed a commitment to playing the quality of volleyball that is going to make them contenders in every event they compete in for the rest of the year. 

Keep up the great work ladies, this is going to be a great summer in the sand.
