WHAT'S IN STORE FOR THE AVP TOUR'S SECOND HALF
The AVP Crocs Tour resumes next week at the Seaside Open in New Jersey after a two-week hiatus. For the second half of the season, several issues are left in the sand. To be settled on the women's side is whether or not Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh can eclipse last year's total of 13 victories in 15 team events. They have won eight titles already in 2007. On the men's side, beach volleyball fans will get one last look at Karch Kiraly in his last season on tour with a sentimental eye cast toward Manhattan Beach in August. MORE
