April Ross

April Ross was one of just a handful of women beach volleyball players who have won medals in more than one Olympics. In Tokyo during the next few days she will attempt to net her third medal with fellow the first-time Olympian Alix Klineman. Ross is also hoping to win her first Olympic medal. Since she's 39 years old, it may be her final chance. However, she's confident that top honors are firmly in reach. Ross on NBC Boston, said that when the team performs consistently or well they could win a gold. In addition, I'm planning be relying on a little bit of good luck. Ross was born in California in Costa Mesa in 1982. Her family lived in the area with her father, mother and sibling. Apart from competing in various sport, she also attended Newport Harbor High School. When she was a student in the prep school she was a participant in basketball, indoor volleyball as well as running track. In her final game she was clearly the standout. In her time at high school, she was a middle blocker outside setter and hitter on the volleyball court as per her college bio. For her efforts she was awarded the 1999 Gatorade Champion of Champions Circle of Champions Player of the Year. Additionally, in 2000, she was named Orange County Athlete of the Year for volleyball. Ross and Klineman have been performing their roles since 2017. The reality is that Ross was an important player in the world of beach volleyball before joining the duo. In reality, she was a winner of multiple major tournaments using two partners, among them a volleyball icon. In the period 2007-2013 she played with Jennifer Kessy who more recently served as her and Klineman's coach. Kessy was Ross's co-coach at the World Championships in 2009. They took home a Silver medal during the 2012 Olympic Games held in London. Misty May Treanor and Kerri Jennings, the team of legends who won the 2012 Olympic Games in London, edged each other to take home the gold. The fate of the matter was that Ross was Walsh Jennings' new partner after May-Treanor's retirement. They went on to compete for the bronze beach volleyball medal at Rio Olympics 2016. They were joined by Walsh Jennings. Ross was a Trojans player for the USC in her college prior to becoming a professional. Ross's time in the Trojans was remarkable. In her first year at the school, 2000 was when she won the Pac-10 and NCAA Freshman's of Award and also be named an All-American. The Trojans made it to the Final Four. Her personal tragedy was a crushing loss during her sophomore year however she was able to return in the ranks of an All-American. The last two years with the Trojans' program they won victories by winning consecutive national championships. The achievements of each individual have established her status as a legend in volleyball. She won the Honda Sports Award 2003-04 for the best female college player. Ross, a USC international relations major, was a renowned volleyball player. Margie Ross was never able to see her daughter achieve the heights in beach volleyball. When Ross was a sophomore at USC her mother passed away due to breast cancer. However, she keeps her mother in her his heart. Also, Margie is an ongoing source of encouragement for her on the beaches and throughout her daily life.
