TAMPA, Fla. - Tampa standouts, Madison Brunick, Cassidy Ehrie, Keely Hamilton, Angel Williams, Hailey Wolfe, and Nevaeh Wolfe have been named 2024 Top Flight Award winners.

The AVCA is pleased to announce its 2024 Top Flight award winners.

The Top Flight program, now in its sixth year, recognizes beach pairs who compete in at least 15 matches together at a specific flight and win at least 75% of their matches. This year, 58 pairs representing 32 schools—from all three NCAA divisions, NAIA and Two-Year Colleges—have earned Top Flight status.

NOTE: Pair records are before the 2024 NCAA Championship, so they only include matches before April 29.
