Former Tiger duo Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth qualify for 2024 Olympics, set to represent Team USA.
Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss have been officially selected to compete for Team USA in Paris this summer, becoming the first two LSU Beach Volleyball alums to qualify for the Olympics.
“To know that it’s such an elite group and to know it’s just two kids who started out playing here and learning the sport with us; it couldn’t be more humbling and exciting to know that they’re representing not only their country, but this state, the families around here and this university. We couldn’t be more grateful, more excited and more humble by that reality.”
“To qualify for the Olympics, the pinnacle of athletic competition is truly surreal,” Kloth added. “It hits me when I think back to watching and adoring those athletes when I was a little girl! Wearing USA on our jersey, that is such an honor! The combination of the flag, red/white/blue, and the national anthem leaves me speechless and with a million goosebumps! As soon as I stepped foot in Louisiana for the first time in 2018, I knew I had to be here.
Playing their final season at LSU together in 2021, Kloth and Nuss solidified themselves as the top college beach pair in the nation. They were a perfect 36-0 on Court 1, winning in dominant fashion on a consistent basis. After the perfect season, Nuss had accumalted 139 victories to become the winningest college beach volleyball player of all-time.
