GULF BREEZE, Fla. — The Gulf Breeze beach volleyball team are national champions once again.

This is the second year in a row the Lady Dolphins have taken the title. They beat New Smyrna Beach High School in the 2A FHSAA state championship game.

This team didn’t even exist a few years ago, and they’re already national champions again. They earned that title by being the No. 1 ranked team in the nation, according to MaxPreps.com.

“I think the first time it was crazy. National champions, that’s kind of unheard of here,” said senior volleyball player Bella Satterwhite. “So just to have it back-to-back, I mean, is amazing and it’s all because of the community, our coaches, the parents — since we are are parent-funded. Everything helps and we couldn’t thank the community enough.”

Eight players are committed to play at D-1 schools, another accomplishment for the team.

PULLMAN, WA -On Monday night, June 16th, it was announced by Washington State that there will be immediate changes to their track and field program.

The WSU athletic leadership met with members of the men’s and women’s track and field teams to inform them of changes.

These changes to the program will shift more towards a distance-focused approach.

What it means is that the field events, as jumps and throws, will no longer be supported, effective immediately.

While the number of spring and hurdle opportunities will be limited moving forward.

As for the student-athletes affected by this change, WSU will honor their scholarships should they remain at WSU.

If student-athletes wish to change schools, WSU will provide transition support and services to help those student-athletes.

These changes will make a big difference to the Cougar track and field program in the future.
