APRIL ROSS: I'm April. I've been playing beach volleyball for the majority of my career now, which seems crazy. I think this is my 14th season. I've been to two Olympics, two very different experiences. I'm very excited to have mathematically qualified for Tokyo with [? Alex. ?]

And we recently won our tournament in Doha, the first one in over a year. And we are sitting in the first spot for Olympic qualification, which is really exciting. We have to hold on to it for a couple more months, and that's kind of what we're working towards, and we feel like we have a lot of work to do. And we're really motivated to grow and get better and just really looking forward to going to the Olympics, as it's [? Alex's ?] first time, and merging our experiences and hopefully having a great Games.
