Jon Wong Earns AVCA Thirty Under 30 Award

PEORIA, Ill. -- Fourth-year Bradley Volleyball Assistant Coach Jon Wong has been named a recipient of the American Volleyball Coaches Association's Thirty Under 30 Award according to an announcement by the AVCA Wednesday.

Created in 2009, the award honors up-and-coming coaching talent at all levels of the sport. To qualify for the award, nominees had to be younger than 30 years old in 2018.

Wong has helped Bradley to an improved overall and Missouri Valley Conference record in each of his first three seasons as an assistant coach with the Braves. This past fall, the Florida native helped guide Bradley to the second-largest win improvement in the nation along with the first post-season appearance in program history as the Braves reached the second round of the National Invitational Volleyball Championship.
