The Greatest Ever…Stanford’s Kathryn Plummer

Pittsburgh - Sports Stories made the cross-country trip to Pittsburgh, PA this week for the AVCA National Convention and the NCAA Womens Volleyball Final Four.  We set up in the AAU volleyball booth at the Pittsburgh Convention Center for interviews, including ones with BYU head coach Heather Olmstead and JVA executive director Jenny Hahn.  But it was in witnessing the greatest collegiate player ever, Kathryn Plummer of Stanford, collect her third national championship to go with her three NCAA most outstanding player awards and two NCAA player of the year trophies that made the trip memorable.  With Plummer leading the way from the outside position, Stanford swept both Minnesota in the semifinals and Wisconsin in the finals.  In the two matches, KP recorded  a combined 48 kills at a .406 clip, 19 digs and 8 blocks.  The 6’6” Plummer, who won her first major national award as the 2015 AAU Beach Player of the Year, last year won the prestigious AAU Sullivan Award, given out to the nations top amateur athlete since 1930 when golfer Bobby Jones won the award.  Kathryn Plummer proved, yet again, that she is, without a doubt, the greatest Women’s collegiate volleyball ever.  I welcome any opposing opinions.
