Few athletes are identified with their sport more closely than the face of women's beach volleyball, Misty May-Treanor.May-Treanor and her partner, Kerri Walsh, have dominated the sport unlike any other duo. There's the gold-medal win at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, the record-breaking 89-match winning streak in 2003-04 and the 50 straight match wins from the Olympics until July 2005. The list of accomplishments seems endless.
The Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) named May-Treanor and Walsh its Team of the Year three years in a row (2003, 2004, 2005). And May-Treanor earned the league's MVP in 2005 and Best Offensive Player in 2004 and 2005.
May-Treanor started, of course, with "regular" volleyball. And, of course, she dominated. At Long Beach State she won the 1998 Honda Broderick NCAA Athlete-of-the-Year Award, the same year the undefeated 49ers won the NCAA Championship and May-Treanor earned Co-MVP honors. She was also a first-team All-American three times (1996-1998).
