With a trip to nationals on the horizon, the Guns Up 17-U Elite volleyball team knows its hard work is paying off, but the players realize there is still work to be done.
By winning the regional championships and earning the Sun Country Regional Bid in Albuquerque, N.M., the team earned the chance to compete in the 2013 USA Volleyball Junior National Championships in Dallas, scheduled for Saturday through Monday.
Guns Up is one of 48 teams competing in the 17-under National Division, which requires teams to obtain a bid to participate.
