The Palo Alto Weekly ran a nice article about the Stanford club players who competed this past weekend at the NCAA Championships.

We were thrilled to see so many players in the water: Megan Burmeister and Camy Sullivan helped UCLA win its fourth straight NCAA title; Kelly Eaton and Kim Krueger played a key role in Stanford’s third place finish; and Michigan co-captain Kelsey Haley’s Wolverines finished sixth.

All of these players started with the Stanford club as 14-unders. Congrats on a great college season!

From USA Water Polo - The Conduct of Championships, which governs USA Water Polo’s national championship events, has been revised in anticipation of the 2008 competition season and is attached.  Please note the change which now states: “Members must affiliate with club by May 15 for the summer season.  This helps build club loyalty while eliminating “club hopping.”

This rule applies for all players interested in competiing in Nationals and Junior Olympics.  Please go online today to usawaterpolo.org and verify your club membership as Stanford Water Polo Foundation.  Don’t miss JO’s because your club is incorrect.
