CONSIDERING that this is the first year for a water polo team, the team performed extremely well, placing seventh in the state tournament. As a team, they have grown throughout the season, improving in every game.

The team is coached by Jon Wheeler and Beth McGee and includes students in eighth grade through twelfth grade. Due to the team’s being new, it was categorized as a club team at GAC but competed against 5A schools.

Senior Stephanie Wilding said she enjoyed playing this season because she had the opportunity to learn a new sport and get to know everyone on the team a little better. Like with other sports, it’s important for team members to perform as a team and stay positive.

Even though the first water polo team was not an official school sport this year, Spartan fans were proud of their premier performance.
