2 2007 California Golden Bears Men’s Water Polo Media Guide CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS CALIFORNIA Golden Bears What are the biggest challenges this year’s team faces? Replacing John Mann? Losing John and Brian Kinsel will be a major challenge for our team. We have had them as our centers for four years. Trent Calder, Thomas Pearson and Brian Dudley are working very hard to get ready for this season and I have been pleased with their progress. We will be a different team at two-meters, but I am confident that our players will step up to the challenge.

Who will be the leaders of this year’s team? Talk about each of those players in terms of what they bring to the squad. Our Team Captains are Mark Sheredy, Adam Haley and Trent Calder. Mark is the key to our defense – as the goalie he needs to be the verbal and emotional leader of our defense. Adam is the backbone of this team. He is a quiet leader whose work ethic and toughness are the foundation of this team. Trent is a vocal leader and he keeps the team’s spirits Senior Adam Haley keys the Cal defense as one of the nation’s top two-meter upbeat. We will also look to our other four defenders. seniors for leadership in and out of the pool (Michael Sharf, Mike Hayes, Zac What type of impact do you envision the We will be looking at our incoming class Monsees and Jeff Tyrrell) will all be asked newcomers to have?
