Dan Albano, OCVarsity.com Girls water polo poll: Is Dries the greatest of them all?June 10th, 2009, 7:11 pm by DAN ALBANO, ocvarsity.com
That’s right - the 17-year-old, high-school senior Dries is really playing well for Team USA. Considering how dominate she was this past season for the Breakers, I wonder how the high school aquatics scene should remember her. How about this question -
Is Annika Dries the best female high school wpolo player in county history?

Colton replaces Don Laster, who helped re-establish the Tritons as one of the top teams in the county. San Clemente has won two consecutive South Coast League titles and reached its first CIF semifinal last season. Here’s what Hamro said in a press release about Colton: Girls water polo: Dries scores against Italy at Super FinalJune 9th, 2009, 11:37 pm by DAN ALBANO, ocvarsity.com

Div. II - Laguna Beach Div. III - Poly/Riverside Div. IV - Arroyo Grande Krumpholz wins water polo’s Heisman TrophyJune 8th, 2009, 1:36 pm by DAN ALBANO, ocvarsity.com
A 2008 Olympic silver medalist, Krumpholz is the third consecutive Orange County male to win the award, following Tim Hutten (UC Irvine/Los Alamitos) and John Mann (Cal/Corona del Mar). Congrats to J.W. and Foothill water polo. Heavyweight coach back in Div. I water polo mix (updated)June 8th, 2009, 12:17 pm by DAN ALBANO, ocvarsity.com
“Our community is very excited about him coming up here to take over our program,” Barzdukas said. HW was a first-round loser in Division I last year, falling to Dos Pueblos, 7-6, in the best first-round match-up. HW’s last trip to the finals was 2003 when it finished second to LB Wilson. Lynn is an excellent coach but Loyola appears to the team-to-beat in the Mission League. He replaces Larry Felix, the former El Dorado standout. Look for Lynn to arrive at Harvard in August - after his trip to the World Championships in Rome with the U.S. senior team. Wanted: Aquatics photos of Gwen StefaniJune 8th, 2009, 10:56 am by DAN ALBANO, ocvarsity.com
A SoCal swim blog is looking for a photo of Gwen Stefani swimming the butterfly. Yes, the lead singer for No Doubt did attend and swim at Loara. Stefani also attended Cypress College but I don’t know if she swam there. So if you have a photo, please pass it on. And, Stefani and No Doubt are on tour this summer, and coming to Irvine on July 31 and Aug. 1. |
Newport Harbor’s boys water polo team is playing like a squad destined to be ranked No. 1 in Orange County’s preseason poll in the fall.
Ok, this is getting crazy now. Laguna Beach senior 
Laguna Beach senior Annika Dries scored once for the U.S. women’s water polo team in its 17-7 victory against Italy at the FINA World League Super Final in Russia on Tuesday.
Ok, I’ve been beaten to the punch on this one but hey, you can’t be first all the time. I can jump on the band-wagon, however.
