From a soccer stud to a beach volleyball fanatic, Jonny Baham does it all

Stan Liu/Arizona Athletics | The Daily Wildcat Arizona's freshman beach volleyball player, Jonny Baham, lunges to receive the ball during the Beach Volleyball Wildcat Invitational on March 2 at Bear Down Bear, in Tucson, Ariz.

If you’ve ever watched Arizona beach volleyball, then you have probably noticed standout freshman Jonny Baham dominating the courts with current sophomore and partner-in-crime Brooke Burling. For Baham, beach volleyball didn’t become her passion until the start of high school.

The freshman prodigy started her athletic career by playing soccer, a fundamentally different sport from beach volleyball.
