Mizzou legend Lindsey Hunter James was inducted into the 2024 class of Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. This graphic was designed to congratulate Lindsey on her incredible career and induction. Mizzou’s Volleyball Tigers were 90-33 during James’ four seasons (2002-2005), and she was Mizzou’s first First Team All-American by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. The All-American honor came after she directed an offensive attack that hit a school-record .299. James led the Big 12 Conference in assists each of her four years, becoming the first to lead the league for four years in any category. She was a three-time First Team All-Big 12 selection and AVCA All-Central Region selection. At the end of her career, she ranked sixth in NCAA history for assists per game (13.73), and her total of 6,096 career assists was 15th-most in NCAA history. She later played for USA Volleyball and was on the bronze medal-winning team in the 2007 Pan American Games. James was voted by Tiger fans as the Mizzou Women’s Athlete of the Decade for the 2000s. A former standout at Papillion-LaVista High School in Nebraska, she later worked for Mizzou’s Total Person Program and, from 2011 to 2015, was an assistant coach for the Mizzou volleyball team, with the 2013 team winning the Southeastern Conference. She currently is a senior loan officer with Veterans United Home Loans in Yukon, Okla.
