Holly McPeak

Holly McPeak (born May 15, 1969 in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California) is an American beach volleyball player.

As of 2008, McPeak has 72 career beach volleyball titles and $1.4 million USD in career earnings, which are third (behind Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh) and second (behind May-Treanor) respectively of any woman in the history of professional beach volleyball. She also won a bronze medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics with partner Elaine Youngs. McPeak, at 5 feet 7 inches, is considered very short for beach volleyball, which makes her success all the more remarkable.

At the 1996 Summer Olympics, McPeak partnered with Nancy Reno and did not win a medal despite high expectations. Team conflict is often cited as a cause of this, and McPeak's breast enlargement surgery has been cited as a potential cause of this conflict.
