XCELlent NEWS: BOMB CYCLONES!... MEH! BRING IT ON!
(March 29, 2019) - Xceleration took in stride whatever Mother Nature (and man-made disasters) threw at them at the Colorado Crossroad Junior National Qualifier, which is considered by many as the biggest event in girls’ volleyball competition. Immediately before Week 2 of Crossroads when Xceleration 16s, 17Blue, and 18White were scheduled to compete, a Denver blizzard – tabbed the “bomb cyclone” – dumped snow up to two inches per hour. With high winds and icy conditions, coupled with flight cancellations due to the federally imposed grounding of 737 Max 8s, the Denver Airport runway and roads leading into Colorado were closed.

THE JOURNEY: A LETTER FROM XCEL ALUM HAILEY LINDBERG
(July 2018) - Breaks my heart to say an early goodbye and medically retire from the sport I fell in love with 10 years ago. Thank you @scuvolleyball for letting me live out my dream. Thank you for all the early mornings, travel trips, van talks, locker room dance parties, pre-workout, sprints, asthma attacks, bruises, squat pr’s, pull-ups, sore legs, the laughs, the cries, the stress, the good, the bad, and everything in between. I will cherish these moments forever! Thank you to all the incredible people I’ve met along the way, and most importantly, to my team!!!!!!! I thank my lucky stars everyday to have had this opportunity and I wouldn’t trade this rollercoaster of a journey in for the world. ❣️ @ Santa Clara University Andy Schroeder: Hailey, extremely sorry to hear that you have to walk away from a game that you are such a NATURAL AT!. For me, you're one of the hardest working, most graceful athletes that I had the HONOR of coaching. The best thing is -- you move on knowing you gave the GAME EVERYTHING YOU HAD! More good news, you have a great family and many talents that will take you to wonderful places in this life. I will miss seeing you dominate this year, but I know, you'll be fantastic at whatever you decide to do. In the short 7 months I got to coach, you taught me so much about competitive fire and what being a great Teammate is all about! Thanks again for the honor and privilege to coach you. Good Luck Hailey!! |
