Mentioned last week that Rosenmeier and Cowell would be at this week’s USAV Collegiate Beach Championships again. They placed fourth last season.

I hope this tourney experience will propel both into the starting flights next year. Both have pretty impressive HS backgrounds so this is a chance for both Calli and Presley to prove they belong.
I kind of wonder how come the coached did not put Sydney Kidd and Calli together? They were partners in the past and have won a few tourneys together.
They lost their match today.
Colton and Brett won both their matches today and their success puts them in the semi-finals. Both went 3 games so hopefully they are not too exhausted.
1. I believe Kidd will be transferring
Too bad about Sydney Kidd. Maybe she feeling she won’t be able to crack the flights.
As for Cali and Presley, they faced a pretty formidable opponent in Wooten and Horton. They were Houston Baptist’s #1 flight and Wooten is a graduate student and Horton is a Jr. Both were national pairs of the week a couple of weeks ago.
Level of experience is pretty wide there with Bunn and Forbes with very little or no experience taking on the #1 flight of another school.

Now get plentybdown time with no sports going on so I did so search on our future sandbows and noticed that in 2020; UH not only going to land some pretty solid players but two of the are already accomplished in other fields.
Sabrina Hardisty is an accomplished cellist and composed music. Maia Hanneman is already a model. That some pretty interesting side story for 2020. Looking forward to the next two seasons of Wahine Sand!!!
Cowell is really good on the beach.
Replay of Brett and Colton’s first two matches from yesterday.
