"Proud to be your sister"- Harper Murray's sibling Kendall shares touching message on Nebraska Volleyball junior's 20th birthday

Harper Murray received a heartfelt birthday note from her sister Kendall Murray as she turned 20 on February 24, 2025. The Murray sisters have been doing well in volleyball, one playing for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the other for the Michigan Wolverines.

Harper Murray had a successful 2024 season, becoming the NCAA Lincoln Regional Most Outstanding Player after posting 10 kills, 12 digs, and four blocks in the Regional Final, trouncing the Wisconsin Badgers. She also recorded a career-high six blocks, 15 digs, 20 kills, and three aces against the Penn State Nittany Lions in the NCAA semi-finals but lost in the face-off, ending the bid for the Nationals trophy.

Although the Cornhusker junior is gearing up for the upcoming NCAA season, she often shares updates with her teammates, seniors, and family. On February 24, she celebrated her 20th birthday and received a heartfelt wish from her sister, Kendall Murray, on Instagram.

The latter, who plays for the Michigan Wolverines, shared a picture with Harper and wrote:

"So proud to be your sister and so grateful to go through life with you."

The following story was the siblings' childhood snap, which Kendall captioned as:
