April Ross

April Ross has won more than one gold medal in the Olympic Games. Ross is among a few female beach volleyball athletes to achieve this feat. In Tokyo during the coming days she'll be aiming to win her third gold medal along with first-time Olympian Alix Klineman. But more than that, Ross will be aiming for her very first Olympic gold. The next opportunity for her at age 39. Her confidence is high nevertheless. If we do our best or even play very well, I think we'll be able to win that gold medal Ross spoke of via NBC Boston. And then I'll also have some luck. Ross, who was born 1982 and lived within Costa Mesa California with her sisters and parents, was the first to begin taking part in athletics during her time at Newport Harbor High. Ross was a competitive athlete in a variety of sports during her time at Newport Harbor High School. As well as the indoor game, she played basketball and ran track while an athlete in the pre-professional stage. But she clearly was a superior player when it came to the second sport. According to her bio, she played a middle blocker, as well as an outside hitter on the volleyball court during her high school career. In recognition of her work she was honoured as one of the 1998 Gatorade The Circle of Champions' National Player of Year. Her skills in volleyball earned her the Orange County Athlete of the Awards in 2000. Ross and Klineman began their collaboration in the year 2017, however, Ross has been a prominent volleyball player for years before. Her name has appeared in major competitions with a variety of partners. One of them is an icon of the world of volleyball. The pair was Jennifer Kessy from 2007-2013, and also as Kessy's Klineman and coach. Together with Kessy Ross was awarded the World Championship in 2009, while racing internationally. The pair eventually captured a silver medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Misty Maytreanor (Jennings) and Misty Maytreanor clinched gold ahead of them. Ross Jennings was Walsh Jennings partner in fate after Maytreanor's retirement. In 2016, the two were awarded bronze medals at the Rio Olympics for beach volleyball. Ross was part of the Trojans from USC during the college years following her graduation from her high school. The time she spent at USC was awe-inspiring. In 2000 she was awarded Pac-10 Freshman and NCAA Freshman Of The Year, and was also an All-American. In 2000, her Trojans even made it to the Final Four. She suffered a devastating personal defeat in her sophomore year however she was able to return her place as an All-American. Through her final two years at the school, she helped lead the Trojans up to the top of the mountain, winning consecutive national championships. She had established herself as an all-time great having won an award in the year 2003-04. Honda Sports Award as the highest ranked female volleyball player. Ross graduated with a degree in foreign relations and international affairs at USC. Margie Ross was never able to see her daughter rise to the top in beach volleyball. At the time of 2001, while Ross was a sophomore studying at USC her mother passed away from breast cancer. She is deeply in love with her late parent. Margie continues to be an inspiration at the beach and in all her lives.
