‘The Beard Brothers’ Riley and Maddison McKibbin go from the volleyball court to ‘The Amazing Race’
about 5 years in Star Advertiser
Hawaii-born brothers Riley and Maddison McKibbin — aka “the Beard Brothers” — grew up watching their mother, a Kamehameha Schools graduate, playing beach volleyball. Their mom’s brothers also played beach volleyball, so playing volleyball indoors and out was a natural progression for them. They each played for three state championship teams at Punahou School, then continued their education and volleyball careers at the University of Southern California. Riley was a first team All-American athlete and a member of the USC team that placed second in the NCAA finals in 2009. Maddison was playing for the Trojans when they again placed second overall in 2012.
