Kerri Walsh, Beach Volleyball Player, - Biography,
USA International Beach Volleyball player.
Height 6 foot 3
Weight 154 Pounds
(born August 15, 1978) San Jose, California,
Kerri Lee Walsh is a American beach volleyball
player. Walsh was born in the U.S. state of California to Tim and Margie Walsh,
and grew up in Saratoga, California. As a high school student, she played on the
varsity team at Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose. Walsh continued on to
Stanford University, where she won national titles in 1996 and 1997 and was a
four-year first-team All-American, Freshman of the Year and Final Four MVP in
1996 and co-National Player of the Year in 1999. She has played both indoor and
beach volleyball. On July 23, 2006 Kerri Walsh topped $1 million in career earnings
with a win (with her partner Misty May) at AVP McDonald's Chicago Open presented
by Nautica.
Kerri WalshIn the 2000 Summer Olympics, she played indoor volleyball,
where the United States team finished in fourth place. In the 2004 Summer Olympics,
Walsh and Misty May were the American team that won the gold medal for women's
beach volleyball. Winning an unprecedented ninety-one matches and 16 tournaments
in a row, Walsh and May captured the gold without ever losing a game. Currently
Walsh is ranked as the best female volleyball player in the world, and as of 2005
the Kerri Walsh-Misty May duo appear to be almost unstoppable on both the AVP
and FIVB Beach Volleyball tours. Further into the future, she is likely to participate
in the 2008 Beijing Olympics as a strong seed to win a second gold medal. As beach
volleyball is a sport where athletes can perform effectively well into their 30's,
such a prediction is within reason.
Beyond winning dozens of tournaments, Kerri is an extremely valuable marketing image for the sport. Her friendly and personable demeanor, great sportsmanship, and imposing presence on the court have done much to fuel the popularity of beach volleyball in the 2000s. She has appeared in several television commercials, and has been a guest on a number of popular talk shows as a result. In February 2006, Kerri Walsh had a guest starring role in an episode of CSI: Miami along with several other AVP Volleyball players.
Walsh has also emerged over time as being a sex symbol. At 6 ft, 3 inches (1.91 m) tall, she easily towers over most men, sometimes to a striking degree. In addition, the circulation of numerous photographs of her in close physical contact with Misty May have only added to her allure. She often inspires comparison with fellow 6'-3" beach volleyball player Gabrielle Reece for her status as a sex symbol.
Kerri currently resides in Redondo Beach, California, and she is married to men's beach volleyball player Casey Jennings, who has won three AVP titles this year. Jennings and Walsh met in 2000, the very same day Misty May "auditioned" Walsh to be her partner.
Walsh also hosts a weekly, one-hour radio show on Sirius Satellite Radio's Faction 28 station. It airs every Sunday morning at 9 AM Eastern time. Walsh is one of many athletes to have a show on Faction 28. Other athletes with shows include Lance Armstrong, Tony Hawk and Bode Miller.
She grew up in Scotts Valley, and played her high school volleyball at Archbishop Mitty in San Jose.
She had ambitions to be in Beach Volleyball while she was doing Indoor Volleyball. In her beach career she played with May, Wacholder, and McPeak.
