50 straight years is phenomenal. Only at LSJU. I remember the first one in fall quarter of 1976, M WP.
The goalie Chris Dorst was introduced in the dining hall at my dorm early in winter quarter 1977, I think, and got a standing ovation. I had never even heard of water polo until a few months earlier. (Hard to believe Dean Fred gave me the "Great!" letter notwithstanding such ignorance.) Little did we all know it would be the start of something amazing. Of course, Chris is now head of LSJU athletics guest services incl the beloved Red Coats :-)
