Are you Kerri's Mom? Claes/Hughes have been teammates since high school. They achieved more than any pair so far in college beach vball, and set a standard that will be very hard to overcome. They clearly love and support each other. They outperformed the veteran pairs (including an Olympian). Give them time to grow and be a fan. No need to be an @$$%*!*. here I was thinking 5th in a 4 star in their first post college tournament was unprecedented..I'm pretty impressed with their performance... (but I tend to not be a "win or its nothing" type of guy). Its a good result for them but unprecedented only because college BVB hasn't existed for very long. Summer Ross for example had a handful of better results at a younger age and Duda is a teenager with multiple wins. If you want to go way back, Linda Hanley was winning at 18

Theo and Casey to the semi's, great start for them. Casey's setting is probably making up for Theo's passing and doing Theo's hitting % some good.

Maybe if Theo can get comfortable against top international teams they could make some noise. One thing that Casey has done really well the last several years is beating teams he should. (He and Jake always seemed to come off pool first for example). If he can keep that up and Theo can be more effective than Jake was against the top teams, US could have something here

Claes/Hughes only lost to the two teams in the finals so it's possible to argue that they were as good as the third/fourth place teams.

He was aced about 4 times. Theo looked really solid though.

Spectacular match for the Women's Gold. Thought for sure Brazil was going to breeze through it, until that second set. Wow, furious comeback for Canada. Even in the third when it was clear they were gassed, action never let up. All around excellent win for Agatha/Duda, and a really commendable second for Pavan/Humana-Paredes.
