While Columbia 14-Black were at Disneyland winning their tournament flight championship this summer, Columbia 17-Black were in Orlando showing off their skills to the East Coast version of Mickey Mouse. The 17-Black ladies opened their run at the AAU National Championships by upsetting the 17-1 team from top club City Beach. Despite being a majority U-16 team, and probably the youngest average team in their bracket, the 17-Black girls racked up a number of victories in front of college coaches in attendance. Columbia plans to send more teams back to Orlando in the future! Team members: Kamry Breard, Megan Finley, Morgan Kline, Catelyn Linke, McKaidan Moore, Sydney Randles, Shania Scott, Leanna Shymanski, and Coach John Lengphoupraseut.
Some other notes - Notice in the pictures just how long the Columbia girls could stay serious when they aren't playing? (They are all determination ON the court.) Also, has anyone ever seen our Club Director and Mickey at the same time and place? (We're just pointing this out.)
Great job girls, and coach!
