Marina boys’ polo fourth in Hawaii

The Marina High boys’ water polo team concluded its summer season by

earning a fourth-place finish in the 18-and-under Division of the

35th annual Hawaiian Invitational Water Polo Tournament.

The six-day tournament was played at Punahou High and the

University of Hawaii in Honolulu.

The Vikings began the tournament by winning their bracket. They

went on to finish first in qualifying round play but lost a one-goal

decision to Stanford Club.

The tournament’s top teams advanced to the final four, where

Marina finished fourth.

The Vikings went 6-2 overall, each loss coming by one goal.

Marina begins its 2003 prep season on Tuesday.

The Vikings return its entire roster from a 2002 season that saw

them win the Sunset League championship.

Among those returners is senior Rory Kelly, the Sunset’s reining

MVP.

“Morale is at an all-time high,” Marina Coach Mike Wanmer said.

“This should be an excellent year.”

Members of the Marina boys’ water polo team includes seniors

Kelly, Reid Honrath, Nick Hogue, Michael Pacheco, John Beckman and

Patrick Muschetto, juniors Scotty Parker, Jared Luth, Ryan Wagner,

Andy Mackey and Nathan Davidson, sophomores Chase Parlee and Chad

Kelleher and assistant coach Jim Parker.
