Viking Water Polo - 2024 Season Wrap-up
2024 Season Wrap-up!
I want to thank everyone that helped make our end of season banquet a HUGE success!!! With a special thank you to Gena Lawrence & Megan Bielema for their help specifically. This was one of the best banquets that I have been part of and was a great way to celebrate such a wonderful water polo season! Thanks again for all of the parent volunteers that helped with working the scoring table and clock during the games. This league does not function without the help of parents volunteers!
Seniors!
Congratulations to all of our Senior Athletes! We will miss you next year but we are so proud of your accomplishments both in water polo and academics! Your water polo family wishes you the very best in your next chapter! Stop by the pool anytime! We can always use assistant coaches if you stay close by!
