Ali Kreklow reflects on having her parents as volleyball coaches

The Missouri volleyball team pride itself on a family-like atmosphere. For junior Ali Kreklow, it truly is her family.

Kreklow, a setter for the Tigers, is the daughter of head coach Wayne Kreklow and assistant coach Susan Kreklow.

Growing up with parents who coach, she was exposed to the sport of volleyball at a young age.

“I've been in the volleyball gym since I could walk,” she said. “I grew up in the volleyball world. Once I learned how to play, I was ready to get started.”

Before starting her career with the Tigers, Ali earned many accolades for both her high school and club teams.
