earlier years
Kerri Lee Walsh Jennings was born on August 15, 1978 in Santa Clara, California. Kerri originally grew up in Scotts Valley and moved to San Jose before entering high school. While attending high school in San Jose, Walsh proved her athleticism on the volleyball and basketball teams. She led those teams to state championships in four years (three in volleyball, one in basketball). In 1996, she won the Gatorade National High School Volleyball Player of the Year Award. In these early years, she competed with her future tag team partner Misty May-Trena.
After high school, Walsh entered Stanford on a volleyball scholarship. During her college years, Kerry continued to impress, earning first-team All-American honors four years in a row, becoming the second college volleyball player in history to do so. Today, she is still considered one of the best college volleyball players in history. Walsh eventually earned a bachelor’s degree in American studies.
Profession
After graduating from Stanford University in 2001, Kerri entered into a partnership with Misty May Treanor. They initially raced at the Beach Circuit, finishing the season as the fifth-best team in the world. Walsh and Kerri went on to compete on the US AVP Tour and the FIVB World Tour. By 2002, they had reached number one in the world. Throughout 2003, they won every game they played and went on to win 90 games in a row. This is the record at the time. This year, they beat defending world champions Brazil. Despite the fact that they are seen as weak. In 2008, they won 112 games in a row. So far, Kerri and Misty have won 19 consecutive championships.
Eventually, Misty retired in 2012. Walsh then teamed up with April Rose, with whom she won her 113th career title. The new duo then went on to win gold at the 2016 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour in Long Beach. Walsh Jennings announced that he would not sign a new contract after a dispute with AVP. This led Rose and Walsh Jennings to end their partnership. Over the next few years, Kerri worked with players like Nicole Branagh and Brooke Sweat.
Kerri and Misty are probably best known for their appearances at the Olympics, although Walsh first appeared at the 2000 Olympics before working with May-Treanor. However, the Olympics were a negative experience for Kerri, as she was wrongly judged in a drug test to be tied for fourth with the U.S. women’s indoor team.
Walsh and Kerry first appeared during the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. They won their first gold medal that year without losing a set. In 2008, the two returned to the Beijing Summer Olympics, beating the Chinese team in the final to win the gold medal again. Like last time, they didn’t lose a set. At this point, their unbeaten streak was 108 games. Then-President George Bush poses with two women during the 2004 Olympics.
The London Summer Olympics will prove to be the last time Kerri and Misty will compete together. They last beat another U.S. team in the All-American Finals for the gold medal. After Misty retired, Walsh teamed up with April Ross at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Kerri and April took home a bronze medal after a tough match against Brazil, who were expected to win.
