Number 1 baby!!

What a weekend!! WOW! Ashtyn's volleyball team placed high enough over the season to go to the Jr. Olympics qualifier Friday and Saturday. They came in 1st place over the course of the season against all of the 14's division in the Intermountain West! :)
We started Friday night and won the games in pool play. Saturday we finished up pool play and won all of the games again! So going into the Championship games we had to beat 2 other teams!
The Champion of the other pool was the team we thought we would match up with again.. "Extreme" out of Weber County Utah they are so amazing!! they have been our biggest rival all year, they would beat us then we would beat them...so we knew we would probably meet up with them again in the Championship game. We did... and... WE WON!! The girls are off to Reno Nevada to compete nationally in the Jr. Olympics the end of June. Pocatello Elite has only had one other team qualify in 2006 and they ended up coming in 3rd place nationally, so this is HUGE for us!! We couldn't be more excited for them! What a deal, Ash is so so so happy! This will be something she will remember for years to come!!
Thank you so much to our family members who have supported our girls this season, by coming to watch them and donating money for the fundraisers!
