Kerri Walsh Jennings will go down in history as one of the greatest volleyball players ever. There's no discussion to be had. She's already one of the most decorated, most accomplished, most popular, most acclaimed athletes to play the sport - and her career isn't over.
The California girl grew up with volleyball on her mind. She played throughout high school, continuing on to a collegiate career at Stanford University where she won national titles in 1996 and 1997 with the Cardinal, and was a four-year first-team All-American and co-National Player of the Year in 1999. Her indoor career concluded with a two-year stint on the US National Team, helping them play in the medal round of the 2000 Olympics.
Following her illustrious indoor career, Walsh went on to play professional beach volleyball and quickly rose to the top. The pairing of Walsh and May-Treanor was unlike anything beach volleyball had ever seen. Together they captured the attention of the world, bringing home the gold medal at three straight Olympic Games.
With a new partner – 2012 Olympic silver medalist, April Ross – Walsh looks to win an unprecedented fourth Olympic gold medal at the 2016 Rio Games.
Today, Kerri resides in Hermosa Beach, Calif. with her husband, men’s volleyball player Casey Jennings, and their three children.
