Needed time to reflect on this team and the amazing season they gave us. They competed with grit and grace; I feel honored to be part of their journey. Our senior class was as impactful as any we’ve had at KU, leaving it better than they found it. Great players, better people!

[Ray Bechard @RayBechard]

A special thanks to all the Jayhawk fans who showed up and supported us in Boulder. It was an impressive turn out and greatly appreciated!

One of the most complete players ever to compete for Kansas Volleyball; overcoming major obstacles along the way. She is very deserving and I’m excited we will get the chance to honor her and her terrific career.

This is great news for Kansas Athletics and the Lawrence community. Travis has elevated Jayhawk Athletics significantly in his short time here and that momentum bodes well for the future. I’m grateful to be part of his team!
