2015 JO Quals Rosters

Schedules will be posted as soon as finalized.

Alumni Report #1: Kendall Preston

Izzy Mandema connected with Kendall Preston. Kendall played and coached for Stanford.

Send info from your alumni interviews to kyle@stanfordwaterpolo.com and start working on your “poster” – a good size for these would be half a poster board, or 11×17 paper. You can deliver the posters to your coach at practice.

What team was your rival when you played for Stanford club?
We really had rivalries with a lot of teams, all of them good hearted though. It was less of a rivalry, and more of, we were very closely matched. I remember Diablo, Set, LA polo, and Commerce were some really fun games for us.

What’s your favorite memory of the club?
All of our travel trips like our bus trips (not sure if you all still do those) and our Canada trips were probably some of my best memories. JO’s is a blast too, but the other ones we were able to take part in were truly awesome.

100 for 20: Alumni reports

We now have 50 current club girls assigned a club alum to connect with for the 20th year reunion alumni reports. We want EVERYONE playing summer polo to be involved!

My goal is to make 100 current player/alumni connections to celebrate our 20 years. All players who haven’t been assigned an alum should email me at kyle@stanfordwaterpolo.com to get a name and info on how to do this project.

If you have already received your alum assignment, I hope you’ve made a connection already. If you haven’t, get in touch with them soon!

The reunion is Friday/Saturday June 26-27. The alums are so excited to share their stories with you!
