As of late Monday night, Katella had not heard the outcome of its appeal with the state CIF regarding the eligibility case of foreign exchange student and water polo player Mikael Nielsen.

Katella appealed a Southern Section ruling that declared Nielsen, a junior from Denmark, ineligible because his host family includes Katella’s water polo coach, Grafton Weiss.

The school’s appeal hearing was Wednesday.

Nielsen currently has no eligibility at any level.
