Kris Griffith was an outstanding outside hitter during one of the greatest eras in Lady Hardrocker Volleyball history. She was instrumental in helping the School of Mines to consecutive SDIC Conference championships in 1984, 1985, and 1986. During that time she was named to the SDIC all-conference team three times and the All-NAIA District 12 team twice. She still holds the record for serving aces in a season (77- 1985) and is in the top ten in several career categories.
