FORT WORTH – The dynamic duo of Hailey Hamlett and Anhelina Khmil were awarded AVCA Top Flight honors for their performance from the No. 1 position this season. Individually, this is both Horned Frogs' first Top Flight honor.
Â
Top Flight awards recognize excellence in collegiate beach volleyball from all over the country and across all flights. Eligible pairs must compete in at least 15 matches together at a specific flight number and win at least 75% of their matches—regardless of the overall result of the dual.
Â
The 2023 AVCA Pairs National Champions have a 22-3 record together, the best of any pair from TCU this season. They started the season 15-0 from the No. 1 spot and have eight ranked wins on the year. According to collegebeachvb.com, the two are ranked No. 4 in Top NCAA Pairs/Players.
Â
Both were named AVCA First-Team All-Americans. Hamlett has the most wins on the team (29-6) followed by Khmil at 28-7. The two were awarded CUSA Pair of the Week twice this season (Feb. 28, March 27) as well as AVCA Pair of the Week (March 25).
Â
Together, the duo has clinched 13 matches for the Horned Frogs. At the CUSA Championship, the two posted a 3-0 record and clinched the match for TCU to earn its second title in program history. Both were named to the conference's All-Tournament team.
Â
Hamlett and Khmil follow in the footsteps of last year's duos of Alvarez/Moreno and Brockett/Scott who earned Top Flight honors as well.
