Isn't it about time for colleges to start recruiting her for her athletic prowess? How are things looking on that front?

2nd place! in the stupidly fast time of 1:07.something. Her teammate took first. Yes, colleges are recruiting, but she doesn't want to swim in college

(she wants to play polo) She also hit the podium as part of the third placed 400free relay team. And sliced another couple of seconds off her 200free time.

This weekend polo girl has been in Salt lake City representing the Midwest Zone in the Water Polo Regional Championships. The zones are split into two regions: California and Everywhere Else.

They won all 4 round robin games yesterday.

Then the Semi this morning....

Then the Final was tied 10-10 with 90 seconds to go.....

(yes, she scored)

Still not selected for the national team training camp, but their loss. She has a medal and one of the U of Mich coaches has said she has Division 1 potential

Good on her.

Is the national team thing politics, connections, coming from a prestigious school or coach?

monster · 03-24-2014, 10:15 AM

coming from California is about it

other than that it's talent, but you have to do the ODP program, and that's money/committed parents/involved coaches etc.... (her school coach is an ODP coach, but not her ODP coach this year).

xoxoxoBruce · 03-24-2014, 04:45 PM

Ah, I see. Like every other sport, when you get to the national level the dynamics change considerably. At Olympic team level the costs, both socially and monetarily must be insane.

Well it's been a tough water polo season for the Eagles, no Seniors on the Varsity team, three complete newb freshmen on Varsity, entire JV team complete newbs -most of them not even swimmers- 16 girls in total ........and they just qualified to be one of the eight teams in the state championships! WTG ladies.

Last week a couple of people commented independently that Polo Girl was probably one of the best defensive players in the State

(she had to be switched to a more defensive role this year because it's easier for newbs to go in as attackers and all our strong defenders graduated) One of those people was her coach addressing the team. the other was .....wait for it..... the swim coach (who is also a polo mom)

monster · 08-28-2014, 10:14 PM

I think they were 5th in States. I forgot already.

Swim season is gear again. My last one. She's a senior. It was the crazy relays meet tonight to kick off the season. Swimmer Girls was on the fly relay ....and they won! better still, I think the broke the record. So not only does swimmer girl now feature in two records at the meet, but she also beat an Olympian! The fly record was previously held y a team including kara Lynn Joyce.

I just need confirmation on that because the scoreboard wasn't working properly so we looked up the time using the meet mobile app. waiting confirmation it's a real time

monster · 08-28-2014, 10:15 PM

(her team tonight has at least one future olympian on it, I'll wager)

Clodfobble · 08-29-2014, 04:47 PM

Well duh, it has her on it.

monster · 08-29-2014, 07:29 PM

ha. She was the slowest of the 4 -the others are all "Studs" as they are known to the team

monster · 09-04-2014, 08:49 PM

And Swimmer Girl got her state cut at the first meet of the year in her Final year. 4/4

I put the Polo Boy being rostered for Varsity for the first time in the brag thread but I'mm'a repeat it here because..... eventually I will share the fiasco that was his first varsity game (and almost not)......

but for now, just the positive that he drew a penalty in the dying seconds of the game, took it and scored. he's rostered for the varsity tournament tomorrow

State cut! Sweet.
