Today’s photo comes from last September. I believe this was Kellogg Beach, just north of Crescent City in Northern California.

Liz Brenner – University of Oregon Volleyball

Last week there was an article in USA Today about an athlete Ellie and I watched last fall.

Note that the USA Today put in a picture labeled as Liz Brenner (who wears #6) that is actually Canace Finley (#5). Ooops.

Tomorrow Ellie has her second to last mOcean volleyball tournament of the season. Today’s photo is from the last tournament. Her 15U team went undefeated until losing to a 17U team.

Volleyball block sequence

I’m about to head out for a full day of volleyball. Ellie’s 15U team is in a mOcean Volleyball Club tournament today in Medford. The tournament is for 15U to 18U teams so it won’t be an easy one to win.

My “little” (6’1″) 14-year old is starting to bring it. This photo is from a tournament in Medford this past weekend. Her 15U mOcean Volleyball Club team was playing the 17U travel team at the time.

This year’s campus theme at SOU is “Happiness”, and the Annual Stevenson Union Photo Contest is for photos dealing in some way with happiness. I can’t win the contest since I am faculty and not a student, but I thought it would be fun to enter anyway. I submitted four photos, and this was one of them. I’m looking forward to seeing the chosen photos on display early next year.

This is a pic of the Ashland High School varsity volleyball team this past season.
