Egen Atkinson (class of '10) and I (class of '11) drove down to Brown today to tryout for the east coast contingent that will be sent to California for USA Water polo's new Olympic Development Program. Felix, the head coach of Brown, was in charge for the tryout.
It was a lot of fun to get back into the water and scrimmage. Aside from Egen and myself, there were three guys from MIT and a bunch of guys from Brown. We roughly played 4 extended periods and just went back and forth a bunch of times. All in all, Egen and I had fun butting heads with a lot of our in-season rivals in a more friendly setting. We got our fair share of good looks and shots so things were looking up by the end of the session.
Playing with the other players form MIT and Brown today convinced us that with hard work, we can take the Northern Division next season. Also with St. Francis out for one year (the euros got suspended for the 2009 season for fighting or something idiotic), we are presented with a golden opportunity. We started our offseason training last week and things are looking good.
More to come later,
Jeff Lee
