Butler alumna and former Bulldog volleyball player Kelly (Kyle) Kidd was recently named to the USA Deaf Women's volleyball team. She previously competed with the Deaf National Team, from 2013-2019, before Covid and pregnancy prevented her from competing in 2020. This year, she will make her comeback and become a Deaflympian as the women, who earned silver at the recent World Deaf Championships, will be traveling to Japan for the Deaflympics this November.
Kidd competed for Butler for three seasons, from 2011-2013. The Crawfordsville, Indiana, native was named to the 2011 Horizon League All-Newcomer Team.
