Meet the Park University coach who's quietly building a Kansas City volleyball dynasty

For all the talk about a possible Kansas City Chiefs football dynasty, Mike Talamantes' teams at Park University just north of the river are continuing their dominance.
Park University’s volleyball program is in a familiar spot this week: Competing for an NAIA national championship.

This time around, it’s the men’s team, ranked No. 4 and 27-1 after a tournament win on Thursday. The national semifinal is to be played Friday in Des Moines, Iowa.

In 12 years as Park’s coach, Mike Talamantes has built a budding dynasty among the men’s, women’s and beach volleyball squads.
