16-under JO Qualifying

The following are the rosters for 16-under JO Qualifying. Your participation is based on being attendance eligible (minimum 3/4 practices this week). You also must be able to attend the entire qualification tournament.

Remember, these are the rosters for this weekend’s tournament only – they are NOT the final players or teams for the Junior Olympics. We are constantly evaluating the players and will name the final teams in July.

If you are not on the roster and want to be considered for JOs, you need to be eligible and attend the 16B games.

There will be a practice for the 16A & 16B on Friday from 4:30-6:00pm at Paly.

Game times will be posted on the Pacific Zone website by noon Wednesday. We will post them here on our site as soon as we have the chance.

16A: Cranston, Anderson, Benedetti, Bozorghadad, Eulau, Geiduschek, Hansen, Moore, Peters, Schaefer, Smith, Talbott

16B: Afshar, Abbott, Conner, Costello, Cundiff, Drebin, Fero, Harrus, Lacek, Lawson, Lincoln, Murray, Newman, Oreglia, Ornelas, Walecka

Stanford club members return for NCAAs

The Palo Alto Weekly ran a nice article about the Stanford club players who competed this past weekend at the NCAA Championships.

We were thrilled to see so many players in the water: Megan Burmeister and Camy Sullivan helped UCLA win its fourth straight NCAA title; Kelly Eaton,  Kim Krueger and Jenna Gunderson played a key role in Stanford’s third place finish; and Michigan co-captain Kelsey Haley’s Wolverines finished sixth.

All of these players started with the Stanford club as 14-unders. Congrats on a great college season!

New USA Water Polo Rule

From USA Water Polo – The Conduct of Championships, which governs USA Water Polo’s national championship events, has been revised in anticipation of the 2008 competition season and is attached.  Please note the change which now states: “Members must affiliate with club by May 15 for the summer season.  This helps build club loyalty while eliminating “club hopping.”

This rule applies for all players interested in competiing in Nationals and Junior Olympics.  Please go online today to usawaterpolo.org and verify your club membership as Stanford Water Polo Foundation.  Don’t miss JO’s because your club is incorrect.
