Los Osos water polo pair decides on college

Two standouts from the Los Osos water polo team have made their decisions on colleges.

Austin Stewart is headed to Long Beach State where he’ll join a couple of former teammates in Jared Strong and Ben Andres, who are sophomores.

He also considered UC Irvine and University of the Pacific. It wasn’t just the strong water polo program there that hooked him.

“I’d like to maybe keep playing after this in Europe and want to major in international business. The academic program there is good so it was a great combination.”

Stewart was the Baseline League Most Valuable Player and All-CIF selection, helping the Grizzlies to a Division 2 runner-up finish.

He led Los Osos with 90 goals, but also tallied 96 steals,   42 assists and 32 ejections drawn.

Meanwhile Thomas Halverson has chosen Pepperdine. He too was a first-team All-Baseline League and All-CIF selection. He managed 49 goals, 22 assists and 36 ejections drawn.

Both were part of Los Osos teams that won CIF titles in Division 4 their sophomore and junior seasons.
