"It's quite an honor for Valerio and our program to get an at-large bid to the championships," said Hampton University head coach Alessandro Ambrosi. "We have been to the Co-Ed National Championships and one of our goals this year was to get a spot in the Singlehanded Nationals. I am very happy for Valerio and our program."

Congratulations Valerio Palamara!!
