Beach Volleyball champion Misty May-Treanor and partner Kerri Walsh captured their second Olympic Gold Medal at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and became the first team ever to repeat as back-to-back champs. The victory also marked their 108th straight match win. Upon her return from the Beijing Games Misty gladly accepted a role on ABC's hit-show Dancing with the Stars.

Misty and Kerri were distinguished as AVP Team of the Year for four consecutive years (2003 through 2006). Misty was also named Most Valuable Player in 2005-07, Best Offensive Player in 2004-07, and Best Defensive Player in 2006 and 2007. She was the first and only woman besides Walsh to reach 100 tournament victories and currently has the most wins of any female to ever play the sport.

Nicknamed "Turtle," she paired up with Holly McPeak early in her career, collecting her first five career wins in addition to placing fifth in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. May-Treanor attended Long Beach State where she was part of the 1998 NCAA Championship, defeating Penn State and was awarded the NCAA Championship Co-MVP. In addition to the victory, May-Treanor received several other collegiate accolades including the 1998 Honda Broderick NCAA Athlete-of-the-Year Award and was an NCAA First-Team All-American in the years 1996-1998. Her 1998 team was one of just three college teams to go undefeated in a season. She graduated with a BA in Kinesiology.

May-Treanor was born in Los Angeles but spent her high school years in Costa Mesa where she attended Newport Harbor High School. She grew up alongside her two brothers Brack and Scott. Her cousin is tennis Olympian Taylor Dent. When she's not training, she is the assistant coach at Irvine Valley Junior College. May-Treanor currently splits time between Long Beach, Calif. and Coral Springs, Fla. with her husband Florida Marlins catcher Matt Treanor. She enjoys playing with her boxers Gruden and Boogie.
