  • ESHS Boys Varsity Water Polo
    ESHS Boys Varsity Water Polo http://www.elsegundousd.com/eshs/teachers/harris/2005/Aug7.html 2005 El Segundo Boys' Water Polo Team Has Educational Summer By George Harris, Jr. August 7, 2005 Experience, education and endurance were the goals of the 2005 El Segundo High School Boys' Summer Water Polo team. Thirty-eight summer league games later the Eagles (playing under the U.S.A. Water Polo banner of Gundo Aquatics) satisfied their coach's wish by improving in all three areas. All of this was accomplished under adverse conditions since a very necessary reparation was made to the Plunge closing down the practice facility for five weeks. Many thanks to the Recreation Department for finishing the necessary work on time and always keeping us posted on their progress. The Aquatics Program (both Boy's and Girl's) was able to practice at home the final week of the summer campaign and it was most appreciated. Thanks to Mira Costa High School Water Polo Coach and friend Jon Reichardt we were able to use the Mustang pool three times a week from 6:00-8:00 a.m. for those five down weeks. In the Boys' case a very special thanks to Michelle Green for organizing all the early morning transportation for those Frosh/Soph and Varsity players too young to drive as well as organizing drivers for the two Frosh/Soph Summer Leagues at Chadwick and Peninsula High School's. As has been a tradition the past 6 summers the Varsity level Eagles played in five weekend tournaments in June and July far from the friendly confines of the South Bay and some future Division VI opponents.
