Bishop LeBlond’s Kim Huss named St. Joseph Sports Inc. Coach of the Year
St. Joseph, Mo. – Kim Huss, varsity volleyball and varsity track coach at Bishop LeBlond High School, has been named the St. Joseph high school coach of the year by St. Joseph Sports Inc.
Huss has been the varsity volleyball coach for the past 11 years and the varsity coed track coach the past seven years. Her volleyball program just completed the school’s most successful season in program history finishing with a 35-2-3 record and a third place finish in Missouri Class 2. In addition, the 2015 LeBlond girls track team finished fourth in state Class 2.
Her volleyball teams have won the district championship nine times in the past 10 years and have won at least 20 games every season, and have been sectional champions five of those years. The LB volleyball team advanced to the state final four in 2012 (4th place) and again in the 2015 season. They have been four-time Midland Empire Conference Champions. In the past 11 years there have been 27 volleyball players earn Academic All-State honors, and the team earned an American Volleyball Coaches Association Team Academic Award for the 2014-15 academic year. Her career record for volleyball is 295-76-25.
In the past five years under her leadership, the LeBlond track team has had 14 state track medalists who have broken eight school records. Last spring every participant who qualified for the state meet brought home at least one medal. Additionally, in 2015 there were 11 track athletes who earned Academic All-State honors.
In addition to her coaching duties, she is a biology and dual-credit science teacher, the faculty sponsor for Student Council and a co-sponsor for LeBlond’s campus ministry program. This was her fourth nomination for Coach of the Year, having previously been nominated in 2007, 2009, and 2013.
LeBlond principal Jeff Sullivan said the honor is well-deserved for Coach Huss, “Her impact on the athletic development of our students is considerable, but more importantly, she is developing life skills, Christian service and leadership skills, and spirituality traits that will serve our students throughout their lives.”
