17-1's & 16-1's receive junior olympic bids!

Congratulations to the 17-1's and the 16-1's for receiving at-large bids to represent the the Southern California region at the Junior Olympics. At-large bids are given to the teams with the highest point totals in the region and which have not yet qualified. The bid process rewards consistent play over the course of the entire season and ensures that each region sends their most qualified teams. Receiving a bid is an accomplishment and honor. The 17's will compete in the Open division and the 16's in the National division this summer in Reno, Nevada. Good luck girls!

18-1's qualify for junior olympics at neq!

18-1s Vegas


951 Elite 18-1's showed tremendous heart this weekend at the Northeast Qualifier in Baltimore when taking 3rd place overall and earning an open bid for the Junior Olympics.  The first 2 days of the tournament flew by as the team didn't lose a single set.  Their matches both days had incredible scores including the match vs LIBA 18 Black (25-3, 25-7).  This pace kept them geared towards not only qualifying, but the title for the tournament.  The 3rd and final day (Easter Sunday), 951 started off at 8am vs Synergy 18 Orange.  951 took care of business and the opposing team did not score over 17 points against the 18-1 squad.  For their semi-final match to get into the finals to play Encinitas Wave, 951 lost their first set of the tournament and unfortunately their first match match of the tournament to KC Extreme 18 Red; (25-20, 15-25, 10-15).  This left 951 to play NE Elite Thriller for the last chance to get a bid.  NE Elite Thriller was no foreigner to our 18's squad as they played and barely lost to them in the SoCal qualifier in Anaheim in 3 sets.  Sure enough, the girls did not let the past repeat itself and managed to pull out a 3 set win;(25-14, 18-25, 15-13)earning a spot for the Junior Olympic tournament in the Open Division and 3rd place at the NEQ Tournament.

17-2's make Pacific Northwest Finals!

18-1s Vegas

The 17-2's have continually improved this season, finishing in the bronze division in Vegas, silver at the SCVA JNQ, and now the gold and championship match at the Pacific Northwest Qualifier. The team dropped a match on day one in pool play and faced a critical reality check. The loss galvanized their determination and grit, and they played amazingly on day two to take over the 4th seed and place them in the championship bracket. The road to the finals included impressive wins over Sidout NBC and Club West's 17 Gold. The championship match was then nothing short of spectacular. Vision's 17 Blue won game one 25-23, then jumped out to an early lead in game two. The girls overcame the six point deficit to win 28-26. They fell just short of earning the Junior Olympic bid with a heartbreaking loss in the third game with a final score of 17-15. It was an amazing weekend. The girls played with passion and resolve and well represented 951 Elite. Congratulations 17-2's!

17-1s win gold at the junior olympics!

17-1s

The 17-1's had a golden experience at the Junior Olympics in 2009, literally. Picked as the gold medal favorite, the squad did not disappoint. They did not drop a game until the semi-final match against Golden West, where they mounted a Hollywood style come from behind win to make up the 9-12 deficit in the final game and win 16-14. They moved into the championship match where their confidence and depth overwhelmed the opposition. They represent 951 Elite's first ever Junior Olympic gold medallists. Denise DeVine and Michelle Waber were selected to the all-tournament team, and setter-captain Johnna Fouch was named tournament MVP. View photos here.
