Another volleyball weekend. This was the MidEast Qualifier (MEQ) tournament in Indianapolis. Maddie didn't have any practice since it was technically Spring Break week so she came with me,
The first day we played in Lucas Oil Field - first time we have played there in the many times we have played in Indianapolis
You can see the floor just put on top of the turf - kind of crazy
Catching up with old friend Keri
Maddie took some pictures
Hailey and Grace
This one cracked me up - think they think they look cool but caught in midair - its pretty awkward! Hailey gets some air though
Hailey always manages to get in between the tallest
We always. have something team bonding wise. This time one of the moms scheduled this trip to the speedway where the girls got to drive on a track. Love their headgear before the helmets
Hailey ready to race
Not winning any speed races
Siblings got to have their own races too in smaller cars.
Maddie
She will not be winning any speed races either
girls opening their cool warmups in the room we had dinner in after racing
We got to hop courts and watch school teammates play. This is the last club tournament for our favorite Montini seniors. Their last tournament is nationals which is the same day as prom and they are going to prom so this was the last one.
Paige, Maddie K and Reeghan have been playing together since grade school. They were nice enough to come back and watch the girls cross over match after they were done playing. They went back to the hotel and showered and came back. Great girls.
We had a great weekend of volleyball. The girls played super hard and won their crossover against a team we lost to the day prior. We made it into the gold bracket and then lost our first match in the gold bracket which meant we were done for the tournament. We placed 9th out of 128 teams. We had hoped to go a little farther.
