Kerri’s Clinics
Kerri Walsh Jennings enjoyed a chalk talk with several of the more than 100 youths who attended the first Chase The Stars Founda- tion clinic/dinner/auction at the Santa Monica Beach Club on Jan. 19. Walsh Jennings teamed with her former coach Dane Selznick to promote the event in an effort to build “Kerri Courts” in under- served communities. “Aside from being really sick, which really lessened my interaction with the kids and the dinner attendees, I loved every second,” Walsh Jen- nings said. “Tons of kids and their parents truly loving learning more about the game.” (Photo: Don Liebig)
Former UCLA star
is new Miss USA Nana Meriwether displayed a pretty good “game face” during a volleyball career at UCLA that saw her record school records in kills. A win- ning look has served her well since she gradu- ated in 2009, culminating with her coronation as Miss USA last Dec. 19. Meri- wether, whose game was solid enough to train with the U.S. Women’s Na- tional Volleyball Team, was actu- ally the runner- up in the Miss USA competition
to Olivia Culpo. The former AVCA All-American as- cended to Miss USA when Culpo vacated the title after earning Miss Universe honors. Meriwether, representing Maryland, started her college career at Duke University before transferring to UCLA where her volleyball career skyrocketed. She graduated from UCLA with a degree in political science and followed that up with postbaccalaure- ate work at the University of Southern California. (Photo: Don Liebig)

Former standout setter at UCSB elected to U.S. Congress
When Jared Huffman was playing vol- leyball for UC Santa Barbara in the 1980s he had an eye on national politics. So much so, that the Gaucho public address announcer Marc Jacobs would refer to Huffman as the senator when he went back to serve. Huffman continues to fulfill his dream when he won California’s 6th congressional district (comprised of six Northern Califor- nia counties) with a landslide victory over Republican candidate Dan Roberts. Huffman trained with the U.S. Men’s National Volleyball Team under Marv Dunphy in 1987. (Photo: Huffman Campaign)
