93.9 The Eagle – The News and Talk of Columbia, MO
The coaches that helped lift Mizzou Volleyball to new national heights, and brought two NAIA national championships to Columbia College, have retired.
Wayne and Susan Kreklow announced their retirement Thursday evening. Mizzou Athletics says assistant coach Joshua Taylor will be promoted to interim head volleyball coach for the 2019 season.
The Kreklows came to Missouri in 2000 after winning the 1998 and 1999 NAIA National Championships at Columbia College, with an 85-0 record in those two seasons. At Mizzou, they posted a 413-194 record in 19 seasons at the helm, with four Sweet 16 berths and one Elite Eight in their 15 NCAA Tournament runs. Their 2013 and 2016 SEC Championships remain the only SEC titles Mizzou has won in a team sport since joining the league.
