April Ross

April Ross is only one of the few beach volleyball athletes to win medals at least twice in an Olympics. In Tokyo during the next few days, she'll be aiming to claim her third Olympic medal along with first-time Olympian Alix Klineman. Ross aims to earn the Olympic debut gold but she is also aiming to earn even more. It could be the last opportunity she gets as she is 39 years old. Nevertheless, she remains certain of taking top honors. Ross on NBC Boston, said that if the team plays consistently or well it could be able to win gold. "I'm planning to test some luck." Ross born August 22, 1982, at Costa Mesa California. She resided in the area along with her entire family. She was able to participate in a myriad of activities in Newport Harbor High School. As a pre-schooler she played basketball, indoor volleyball and running track. But she clearly was superior to the rest in the latter sport. Through her high school years, she played middle blocker outside setter and hitter at the tennis court, according to her college bio. To honor her achievements she was awarded the Gatorade Award for National Player in 1999. She also won the Orange County Athlete of the Year award in volleyball. Ross has been working with Klineman from 2017 but her beach game was established well before that. As a matter of fact Ross has been a winner of several major tournaments in her career together with two other partners. One of them is a legend. Jennifer Kessy was her partner for six years, from 2007 until 2013. Also, she coached Klineman as well as herself. Kessy was Ross's teammate at the 2009 World Championships. The duo would go on to win a silver in the 2012 Olympic Games at London. They were defeated for the gold medal by the legendary duo of Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh (Jennings). Ross Jennings took over for May-Treanor after she retired. The team won bronze in beach volleyball during the Rio Olympics in 2016. After high school and many years before hitting the beach as a professional Ross played with the Trojans of USC as a collegiate. Ross's time in the Trojans was amazing. As a freshmen in 2000, her play earned her the Pac-10 as well as NCAA Freshman-of-the-Year honors. The team also saw her help in helping the Trojans to make it to the Final Four. Her sophomore year was the time she experienced a devastating personal setback but managed to make it back as an All-American. Over her final two years in the program she led the Trojans towards the summit of the mountain winning successive national titles. As an individual, she established her place as a legend winning the 2003-2004 Honda Sports Award as the highest ranked female volleyball player. Ross was a student at USC in International Relations. Margie Ross was never able to watch her daughter's rise to the beach volleyball spotlight. Margie, Ross's mother, passed away in 2001. Ross was in the midst of being a USC sophomore. She had breast cancer. But she still keeps her parent close to heart. Margie has been an inspiration both in her personal life and at the beach.
