CU Athletic Hall of Fame Induction on Nov. 9

The University of Colorado will be inducting another champion into its Athletic Hall of Fame. This time, the dynamic volleyball great of the 1990's, Karrie Downey (Larsen). Her accolades have known no bounds, and she still continues to influence young athletes throughout the state of Colorado.

Downey grew up in the San Diego area in a town called La Mesa, also known as "the Jewel of the Hills." She didn't play volleyball until she got to Helix High School, where she soon discovered her love for the game.
