Monday, February 24th, I had the pleasure of introducing and recognizing the Mizzou’s volleyball team, which had a banner year in 2013. Not only did the program bring home the school’s first ever Southeastern Conference Championship in any sport, it also became the first SEC volleyball team to ever put together an undefeated regular season at 34-0. Senior leaders Molly Kreklow and Lisa Henning were each named American Volleyball Coach’s Association First Team All-Americans and the Tigers had four total All-Americans after Carly Kan and Whitney Little were named honorable mention recipients. Molly Kreklow was also named the SEC Player of the Year, and Carkey Kan earned SEC Freshman of the Year. Additionally, head coach Wayne Kreklow was named SEC Coach of the Year.

The team set school records for wins, consecutive wins, sweeps, consecutive wins and wins to open a season. Behind the setting of Molly Kreklow, the Tigers led the nation in hitting, kills and assists and rose to No. 4 in the national polls, the highest ever ranking for a Mizzou team.

We were honored to have with us Coach Kreklow and several members of the team to be honored by the Missouri Senate/House. Congratulations to this great group of Tigers!
