Former Husker All-American and three-time Olympic medalist Jordan Larson was recognized as the Women's Sports Foundation's Sportswoman of the Year for Team Sport Wednesday at the organization's Annual Salute event.
The WSF accolade is the most recent in a remarkable year for Larson, who was honored after captaining Team USA to its first Olympic gold medal in indoor volleyball at the 2020 Tokyo Games. She was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player and Best Outside Hitter and earned a spot on the Tokyo 2020 Dream Team.
Earlier in this year, Larson also led the U.S. women's team to its third straight FIVB Volleyball Nations League title.
