May Treanor and Olympic Beach Volleyball Tickets


Misty Erie May Treanor was born on July 30, 1977. May Treanor is an American professional volleyball player. She has won more tournaments than any other female player with 107 career wins. May Treanor and teammate Kerri Walsh were the gold medalists in beach volleyball at both the 2004 and 2008Summer Olympics. They have been called "the greatest beach volleyball team of all time".
Misty E. May was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1977. She grew up playing beach volleyball at the Santa Monica Pier with her parents, Butch and Barbara. At age eight, she played her first volleyball tournament with her father, and played other sports like soccer and tennis, as well as participating in dance. She attended primary school at Bright wood Elementary School in Monterey Park. She also suffered from an eating disorder in her younger years.
May Treanor played her first professional match on the AVP tour in May 1999, while still a college senior. After graduation from Long Beach State, May Treanor joined the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team in the summer of 1999, only to quit soon after because "volleyball was not fun anymore". Instead, she chose to pursue a beach volleyball career and teamed with Holly Mc Peak, a skilled beach player looking to win a medal in the 2000 Summer Olympics after a disappointing 5th in 1996 with partner Nancy Reno. The pair played their first tournament together on the FIVB tour in Salvador, Brazil in November 1999. Seeded 22nd, Mc Peak/May Treanor finished 9th.
May-Treanor/Mc Peak found quick success in international as well as domestic play in the 2000 season in the Olympic qualification process. They won their first tournament together in April at a USAV event, followed by two wins on the FIVB tour, and one on the now-defunct BVA. With three FIVB tournament wins and no finishes lower than 5th, the pair qualified for one of two US Olympic berths, paving their way to the Sydney Games. The duo, however, managed only a 5th place finish at Sydney.
After completing the 2000 season with Mc Peak, May Treanor teamed up with Kerri Walsh. For two years, the pair avoided playing on the AVP tour, which had recently emerged from bankruptcy. Instead, the duo played on the international FIVB tour. They were the FIVB tour champions in 2002. In 2003, May Treanor and Walsh signed with the AVP. They received "Team of the Year" honors after having an undefeated season, going 39–0 in match victories with eight tournament wins. Since teaming up, May Treanor and Walsh have dominated both the AVP and FIVB beach volleyball tours. Before the start of the 2008 Olympics, they were riding a win streak of 101 matches and 18 tournaments that began in June 2007.
