Origin
and identity

Kimberly Hill moved from an open national-team tryout to World Championship MVP in a remarkably short international ascent.

Hill earned her place with the USA in 2013 after a Pepperdine career that included elite indoor and beach play. A year later, she helped the senior team win its first women's World Championship.

The 2014 tournament brought Hill the MVP award. Olympic bronze in Rio and gold in Tokyo followed, while a club career in Poland, Turkey and Italy added experience at the highest European level.
