By virtue of earning a whopping 67 percent of the vote, Louisville volleyball coach Dani Busboom Kelly has been named Card Chronicle’s Person of the Year for 2021.
It was a monster 2021 for DBK, who began the year by leading the Cards to the Sweet 16 of the 2020 NCAA tournament, which was played in April because of Covid. She then assembled the greatest U of L volleyball team in history, one which won its first 32 matches before falling to eventual national champion Wisconsin in the program’s first Final Four.
Now, as a cherry on top, she has captured the most sought-after individual award in the city of Louisville.
