With temperatures in the mid to high 90s and intense humidity in Miami, players continued to battle the heat today en route to the crowning of champions Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena on the men’s side, and Jen Kessy and April Ross on the women’s side, both number one seeds in the tournament.

Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh spent the summer traveling on the international beach volleyball tour, earning titles and prize money and, not least of all, points that will help her and partner Misty May-Treanor qualify for the London Games.

Now she finally gets a chance to play on the domestic sand.

Walsh and other top Americans will play for a share of a $100,000 purse at the championship of the National Volleyball League in Miami Beach, Fla., this weekend. Because of the bankruptcy of the domestic pro tour last summer, it will be the first U.S. competition this year for Walsh and fellow Beijing gold medalist Phil Dalhausser.
