USC beach volleyball standouts Kelly Claes and Sara Hughes have post-graduation sights set on Olympics
Their arrival moment came the summer before their senior year. Competing as amateurs, they took the opening set from Ross and Walsh Jennings in the third round of the winner’s bracket at the AVP San Francisco. After dropping the second set, Claes and Hughes nearly won the match before Ross and Walsh Jennings prevailed 17-15 in the third set.
“They’re great,” Ross, another former USC star, said last week between matches at the AVP Huntington Beach Open. “I think they’re the real deal.”
