[Update] Shannon Richardson, grade 7, took a silver medal in the 2010 USA Volleyball Beach Junior Tour Championships – Open Division in the Girls U12 Category Aug. 22 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Richardson’s usual teammate, Selin Ekici, also grade 7 (both girls played for Harker’s undefeated grade 5 and 6 teams), was unable to attend, so Richardson teamed up with another girl for the event. Congrats Shannon!
