Madisen Skinner shared her future Olympic aspirations with Us Weekly exclusively ahead of the 2024 Games
Madison Skinner has three NCAA championships under her belt, but the volleyball star is setting her sights even higher as she looks to the future.
After one championship-winning year with the Kentucky Wildcats and two with the Texas Longhorns, Skinner is hoping for another winning season as she enters her senior year at the University of Texas at Austin. As the recipient of the 2023 Honda Sports Award for volleyball and the youngest member of the U.S. women’s national volleyball team, her chances are high.
“ is the reason I started playing volleyball,” Skinner told Us. “I have to give all the credit and the praise to her. She’s currently about to compete for Team USA at the Olympics. So she’s amazing at what she does and is an inspiration to me.”Madisen got to share the court with her sister, Avery, 25, for one year at the University of Kentucky, and the sisters led the school to their first-ever NCAA volleyball championship title in 2020.
