2023 Highlights
SJM vs. EdisonPersonal Statement
My name is Luke Young. I have been playing water polo for 10 years. I play for Praetorian Water Polo during my club season and San Joaquin Memorial during my high school season.
In high school I am a 4yr Starter, League Champions and Senior Captain. I earned scholar athlete recognition for maintaining a minimum 3.5 gpa all four years and awarded Offensive Player of the year multiple times.
I qualified for the Junior Olympics this past summer with Praetorian Water Polo Club and placed 12th in the Gold Division. I was also awarded California Super League South All-Conference Player and California Super League Championship All-Conference Player
In the off season I also participate in Varsity Swim at San Joaquin Memorial High School. I’ve received the coaches award multiple times.
I believe in a strong work ethic and good sportsmanship both in the classroom and in the pool.
