Flo Hyman
SKU:
A Los Angeles, CA native, Hyman was the first female scholarship athlete at University of Houston, where she was a three-time volleyball All-American, leading the Cougars to two Top-5 national finishes. She skipped her final year to join the U.S. National Team in 1975. After failing to qualify for the '76 Olympics and confronted with the boycott in 1980, Hyman led the U.S. to a silver medal in 1984. At 6-5, she was the tallest outside hitter in the women's game, and her 110-mph spike was a feared, and revered, weapon. Hyman was consistently counted among the top players in the world before her death during a 1986 match in Japan, where she played professionally. She was inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 2017.
