April Ross

April Ross has won more than one Olympic gold medal. Ross is among a few female beach volleyball players that have done so. Alix-Klineman will be competing with April Ross Tokyo in order to claim her third gold in the next couple of days. Ross is also hoping to win her very first Olympic gold. Perhaps it is her last opportunity, given that she is 39 years old. Nevertheless, she remains confident of achieving top honours. Ross said on NBC Boston: "If we do our best and even If we play our best, I think we could get the gold medal." Then I will also take the opportunity to try my chances. Ross was a Californian born in the city of Costa Mesa in 1982. She lived here along with her parents and sister. Apart from competing in various sports, Ross also attended Newport Harbor High School. Her prep athletic career included indoor volleyball, as well as basketball, track and running. However she was clearly a cut above the rest when it came to the second sport. According to her bio her high school days, she was a volleyball player as an outside hitter (middle blocker) as well as a setting (outside blocker). As a tribute to her efforts she was awarded the Gatorade Award for the National Player of 1999. In 2000, the Orange County Athlete of the Month award was also won by her in volleyball. Although Ross Klineman and Ross have been doing their thing from 2017 onward, the former was already a big-time participant on the beaches prior to their team. It's true that she's won multiple big tournaments and one partner was a volleyball superstar. She teamed up with Jennifer Kessy from 2007-2013, and also was Klineman's coach. Together with Kessy Ross was an ace on the international stage, claiming a world title in 2009. The pair eventually picked up a silver medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Misty May Treanor and Kerri Jennings, the team of legends which took home the Olympic gold medal in 2012 in London, took each other to take home the gold medal. Ross Jennings was Walsh Jennings partner in fate after Maytreanor's retirement. Together, they won bronze medals in beach volleyball for the Rio Olympics in the year 2016. Following high school, and for a few several years prior to hitting the beach as a professional Ross was a ball for the USC Trojans as an collegiate. Ross's Trojans experience was impressive. She was an All-American and Pac-10 Freshman of the Year in the year 2000, a young freshman. She was also a key player for helping the Trojans reach the Final Four. The second season of her career she suffered a devastating personal tragedy, but earned the distinction of being an All-American. The two years following her she led the Trojans to the top of the mountain and clinched consecutive national championships. In 2003-04, Ross was named as the most successful female volleyball player on the collegiate scene in the United States by The Honda Sports Award. Ross who was an USC international relations student was a star in volleyball. Margie Ross never saw her daughter achieve the heights of the beach volleyball ladder. Ross's mother passed away from breast cancer when she was a sophomore at USC. She has kept her parents close to her the heart. Margie continues to be an inspiration on and off at the beach.
