Missouri’s first family of volleyball steps down

Wayne, Missouri’s head volleyball coach, and Susan, the director of volleyball, announced their retirement after 19 years at the helm of one of the best, most-consistent programs in Missouri’s athletic history.

As Chris Gervino noted on Twitter, two years prior to the Kreklow’s arrival, Missouri volleyball went 0-28. In the two decades since, the program reached the NCAA Tournament 15 times, never lost more than 17 matches in a year and averaged 21 wins a year.

This pair is leaving four ENORMOUS shoes to fill — but that coaching position is staying in the family.
