Ogonna Nneka Nnamani (born July 29, 1983 in Normal, Illinois) is an American indoor volleyball player. As an outside hitter, she is renowned for the incredible height and power of her kills; teams commonly assign up to three players to block her. She was the youngest member of the 2004 Olympic Team and led Stanford University to the NCAA championship in 2004, succeeding the legacy of Kerri Walsh and Logan Tom. One of the most decorated college athletes of her generation, she also graduated from Stanford with a degree in Human Biology. In 2005, Nnamani was awarded the Honda-Broderick Cup as the top collegiate female athlete in the country.
Nnamani recently completed a season under the Puerto Rican LVSF professional league for the Pinkin club of Corozal. Under Nnamani's leadership, the Pinkin team reached the finals of the national league for the first time since 1996, finishing second to the Carolina Gigantes. Nnamani's younger sister, Njideka, is also a member of the Stanford Volleyball team.
