After securing their USA Volleyball Liberty Division bid with an undefeated tournament win at the Music City Qualifier in New Orleans in March, the team faced mutliple injuries and a depleting roster size.  In June, the team was able to practice in full strength again with their full roster healthy.  This team owned their goals and identity, and played their best 4 days of volleyball yet over the course of USAV Nationals, finishing with a 9-1 record and the first place finish. This is the first national championship in any age and any division for a team from central Arkansas! Rachel Jackson and Parker Stearns earned all tournament honors, and Addie Fielder was named the tournament MVP. This team finished the season ranked 39th out of all USAV 17s teams!
