in Mission Beach with a 1953 Packard
About Jennifer Boss:
Rising star Jennifer (Kessy) Boss keeps building on her game which earned her the 2004 AVP Most Improved Player award. Boss competed with Olympian Barb Fontana in 2004 and Olympic Bronze Medalist Holly McPeak in 2005. Both partnerships yielded consistent top finishes, and in 2006 she doubled the number of finals she played in for the second straight year, playing with both Nancy Mason and Rachel Wacholder.
Boss finished with her third consecutive season ranking in the top 10 in points. In her first 22 career domestic events, she advanced to Sunday's play (finishing seventh or better) just once, but since then has done so in all but two of her 43 domestic tournaments.
Boss finished the 2005 season ranked third in blocks (176), and eighth in both hitting percentage (.418) and kill percentage (.549). In 2006 she was seventh in blocks (.80 per game), fifth in kill percentage (.566), and 10th in hitting percentage (.430). She earned her first beach title in 2001 with Heather Lowe at the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Thailand Challenger.
Boss graduated from USC with a degree in history and was a member of the volleyball team for all four years (1995-1998). She was named All-District in 1997, All-American in 1998 and earned All-PAC 10 selection 1995-1998. Boss was also a member of the U.S. Junior National Team. She played indoors professionally for the Chicago Thunder in 2002 and in Puerto Rico in 2003.
Born and raised in Orange County alongside her brothers Ryan and Travis, Boss currently resides in San Clemente with her husband, fellow pro beach volleyball player Aaron Boss and their English Bulldog, Durham.
