Setting Records
3 min readVolleyball$1.30 pending
Before I get into the bulk of my post today, I just wanted to do a bit of bragging. I've never been ashamed to admit that I am a proud uncle and I have a lot of pride in each and every one of my nieces and nephews for the accomplishments they have made in their lives.
This past week, my niece that is attending university down in Virginia set the record for weight lifting at her school. She has been the top squatter on her softball team for quite a while now, but earlier this week she beat the records among all female athletes at the school with an impressive squat of 340 pounds. That's 154 Kilograms for those of you across the pond or outside of the US.
The thing you have to realize is she isn't a body builder, she is actually is pretty tiny and fast and apparently nothing but muscle. It would actually be pretty interesting to know what her body fat percentage is. I mean, it's none of my business really, but I have to imagine it's insanely low.
It's nice to know though that if I ever need to be fireman carried out of a burning building, she should be able to throw me over her shoulder pretty easy and accomplish it!
Somehow, this missed me, but apparently, this year is the first ever Big Ten Volleyball tournament. I feel like they have had the tournament in the past, but according to the show I was watching the other day, that isn't the case.
I'm still not sure I believe that, but who am I to argue I guess.
Anyway, those tournaments are less than week away now, before the big lead up to the NCAA tournament.
Nebraska still holds the top spot with a record of 24-0 and an impressive 63 match streak. Pittsburgh is right behind them at 23-1.
Followed by Louisville, Florida, SMU, Kentucky, BYU, Arizona State, Wisconsin, and Penn State to round out the top ten.
Tennessee comes in at number 11 with Oregon, Purdue, Kansas, Vanderbilt, Texas, TCU, Washington, Minnesota, and North Carolina completing the top twenty teams in the nation.
Finally, Texas A&M, Indiana, Baylor, Stanford, and Illinois fill out the top 25. In case you didn't notice, that's nine Big Ten teams in the top 25. Pretty impressive if you ask me!
I'm really looking forward to these conference tournaments to start and then the ensuing NCAA tournament. I am really pulling for Nebraska this year, but honestly any team in the Big Ten is fine with me since neither U of M or Ohio State are represented.
