USA WATER POLO 2023 Men's Cutino Award Watch List Announced


 

Irvine, CA - October 26 - For the second straight year, USA Water Polo and The Olympic Club are excited to collaborate with the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC) on the Cutino Award Watch List. The Peter J. Cutino Award, named in honor of the late Hall of Fame coach, recognizes the best player in men's and women's college water polo. This watch list was created in 2022 in an effort to help promote the college game, awareness of the honor, and the excellent play of athletes around the country. In no particular order, 20 athletes, as submitted by varsity college coaches around the country, are recognized for their outstanding play. The top 20 athletes are represented below and are listed in alphabetical order. While it's possible the 2024 Cutino Award winner will come from the list of athletes below, this list of honorees is completely independent from the nomination and voting process of the Cutino Award as that honor will acknowledge the full impact of the 2023 season. A women's Cutino Award Watch List will be shared in Spring 2024. Congratulations to all the athletes honored!
