The 2018 Triple Crown Volleyball NIT drew 436 teams to Salt Lake City over President’s Day Weekend, which included multiple squads from the country’s strongest and deepest club programs.
We are pleased to announce the final standings for the Top Club Award, which is based on points accrued depending on team finishes in each division, 14’s through 18’s. To qualify, clubs had to have teams in at least three different age groups, and each club’s three highest finishes were then awarded points:
1. Arizona Storm (300 points) – Winners of 17 Elite, 15 Elite and 14 Elite.

17 Thunder wins and earns an open bid, 16 Thunder finished 4th in 16 Open

15T won 15 Open and 14T finished 2nd in 14 Open.

Both teams earned open bids to USAV Junior Nationals!!
