What beach-volleyball athlete did Kerri Walsh marry in 2005?

Kerri Walsh married beach-volleyball athlete Casey Jennings in 2005. Jennings was a top American men's beach-volleyball player, making the marriage a notable partnership between two elite competitors in the same sport. Walsh, who later became known as Kerri Walsh Jennings, had already established herself as one of the world's leading beach-volleyball players before and during their relationship.

Walsh's greatest competitive partnership was with Misty May-Treanor. Together, they won three consecutive Olympic beach-volleyball gold medals, beginning in 2004 and continuing through 2012. That success can sometimes cause confusion because May-Treanor is the name most associated with Walsh's career, but she was her teammate, not her spouse.

Casey Jennings also competed at the highest level in the United States and appeared on the AVP professional beach-volleyball tour. The couple have children and have often been described publicly as a beach-volleyball family. Walsh later added Jennings to her professional surname, which is why many modern references call her Kerri Walsh Jennings.
