Wins were hard to come by for the boys’ varsity polo team last season in the Bay Division, finishing 2-8. This year, they find themselves relegated to the Ocean Division, with a chance to be more competitive against evenly-matched teams.
Seniors Tarik Burlingham, Archer Grenier, Christian Choury, Jonathan Kon and Dmitriy Luck all return from a team that was previously composed entirely of upperclassmen.
With this experienced line-up, the Panthers should not be counted out. And accompanied by fresh faces, the team can be expected to have an above .500 record.
Moreover, boys’ water polo saw a surge in participation for the first time in years, with over twenty players on the JV team according to Burlingham. In past years, JV has been short of players. Growing interest may be a turning point for a program that has experienced recent struggles.
