Guam’s first ever 1-Star FIVB Beach Volleyball Tournament wrapped up Sunday afternoon with Japan’s Chiyo Suzuki and Yurika Sakaguchi defeated USA’s Sarah Schermerhorn and Kimberly Hildreth in straight sets 21-16, 21-12.
All action took place at Jimmy Dee’s beach and the eventual Champions had to overcome a tough game earlier in the day, winning a three-set match in the semifinals over fellow Japan competitors Ayumi Shiratori and Suzuka Hashimoto 19-21, 21-19, 15-10.
Schermerhorn and Hildreth also had to go through fellow countrymen Delayne Maple and Megan Kraft in straight sets.
Guam’s seven competing teams went without a win during the Main Draw Friday which knocked them out of contention for Saturday’s games.

Guam’s Wayne Blas completed his 13th Boston Marathon and 38th marathon overall.
The island’s record holder in the distance, Blas finished this year in 2:35:21.
“I’m very happy with this result because seven months ago, I was sidelined with a stress fracture that kept me out for three months. No running! To come back on an abbreviated marathon build and finish one of the toughest races strong and healthy was a big win for me.”
His time of 2:29:38 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon and World Marathon Majors Age Group Championships stands as the Guam National Record.
