My favorite team, and reigning gold medalists, Todd "The Professor" Rogers and Phil "The Thin Beast" Daulhausser made it to the finals, but lost in a grueling 3 game match. Phil lost a pinky toe nail some time in the second game, but that did not slow him down a bit. Their 5 tournament winning streak came to an end to some worthy opponents: John Hyden and Sean Scott.
Do you see me over John Hyden's left shoulder above? I am right behind the girls in the green shirts. This was national TV, the AVP on NBC. I guess my 15 minutes of fame is over. John Hyden is a 2 time indoor Olympian and holds the collegiate record for kills in a match of 57. The record may never fall as he set it before the NCAA converted to rally scoring.
The women's title was captured by Elaine "EY" Youngs and Nicole Brannah. Above I got a pic with the EY and Nicole. They represented the US at the 08 Olympics, and placed 5th. EY has the 5th most wins of all time on the womens side.
It was a great weekend of volleyball. Can't believe summer is coming to an end.
