HP Championships Update #3

Aileen Herman of the Badger Region Volleyball High Performance National Select team gave an update on the HP Championships:

We discovered that doing cartwheels in the second floor lobby isn't a good idea. It apparently shakes chandeliers in the main lobby. We did find out that cheering for other Badger Region teams IS a good idea and a lot of fun. Our Select team found ourselves in a cheering battle vs. a bunch of USA HP athletes during the Boys Regional match this afternoon. Our loud yells and cheering helped lead the team to an awesome 5-set victory and their first of the tournament! At team dinner we worked to find how much water you can fill into a glass and were informed on the science of it by Madeline Mosher. Maddie and Anne Rasmussen proceeded to do their best cat impersonations and "drank" from the glass.


Our select team went 2-0 today and beat the overall #1 seed in our division from the Aloha Region. With one win tomorrow morning we will assure ourselves 1st in the pool and stay alive in our hunt for a medal. We'd also like to send out a special "Happy Birthday" to coach Natalie who's birthday was on Tuesday!!


Word of the Day - MENISCUS (think surface tension)
