📈 STOCK UP
🔼 LSU ➡️ Paris. Former Tigers Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss have stuck together throughout their professional careers. The duo has been selected to play for Team USA at the Paris Olympics! They’re ranked No. 2 in the world in the FIVB rankings and are the top-ranked American duo. They become the first two LSU beach volleyball alums to qualify for the Olympics. Beach volleyball competition kicks off July 27 at the base of the Eiffel Tower.
None of this would be happening if it was not for LSU. This is where Taryn and I met, and this is where Taryn and I built and solidified this partnership. LSU will always hold a very, very special place in my heart.
