Colorado State University Director of Athletics Mark Driscoll has announced the establishment of a memorial fund in the name of the deceased wife of assistant volleyball coach Andy Klussmann. Klussmann, 40, who is in his fifth year as an assistant to Tom Hilbert at Colorado State, remains in critical condition in the intensive care unit of a Cheyenne hospital.
Klussmann?s wife, Janna, died Sunday of injuries suffered in an accident near Cheyenne, Wyo. She was driving the family vehicle when the accident occured and her husband, along with 1-year-old son Jackson, 3-year-old son Drew, and mother-in-law were passengers. The youngsters were uninjured and Andy?s mother is being treated at a Cheyenne hospital.
