Keri Killebrew’s list of accomplishments at Washington State reads like “Who’s Who of College volleyball.” After transferring from Weber State and sitting out the 1989 season, she burst onto the Cougar scene and over the next three years set numerous WSU match, season and career records. During her junior season, she led the Cougars to their first NCAA Championship tournament appearance while ranking seventh nationally in assists. Her finale came as a senior in 1992 when she became WSU’s first player to receive All-America status. She again led WSU into the postseason, where the Cougars captured the National Invitational Volleyball Championship while becoming the first school in tournament history to sweep through the tournament without losing a game - victorious in 18 straight games. The NIVC Championship MVP winner concluded her career with 5,848 assists, the eighth-best mark in NCAA D-I history. Her three-year WSU total was a school record 4,553 assists. Killebrew was a two-time All-Pacific-10 Conference first team and All-West Region team selection. Following her playing career Killebrew coached in the college ranks for several years, including three at WSU, before moving into the real estate business.
