BROOKLYN HEIGHTS, NY. This Saturday marked the start of conference play for all six members of the Northeast Water Polo Conference (NWPC). A key feature in the opening of conference play are matches at the St. Francis Aquatics Center, one of the more distinct venues in NCAA men’s and women’s polo, where Brown, Harvard and MIT played this weekend<\/p>\n

\"MIT_logo\"Orchestrating one of the best starts in MIT program history is Austin Ringheim<\/strong>. At 7-3, the Engineers<\/a>\u20141-2 in NWPC play\u2014are halfway to a winning record for the first time since the 2007 team went 16-11 under Adam Foley<\/strong>. Facing the Terriers in their home tank is always a challenge, one that has proven insurmountable to MIT athletes and coaches in almost a half century of competition.<\/p>\n

This Saturday was more of the same, as the home team took a 17-9 decision over the visiting Engineers. After the match, Ringheim, and Sawyer Koetters<\/strong>, his star freshman, spoke about the Terriers’ pool configuration, a successful start to their respective MIT careers, and what might be expected from the Engineers in the 2019 season.

AUSTIN RINGHEIM:<\/h3>\n

– Welcome to the Terriers\u2019 Den! You probably haven\u2019t been in a situation like this playing against St. Francis Brooklyn.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, this is brand new! It\u2019s a new experience and definitely something I\u2019ve learn to develop. It\u2019s hard to hear myself think [in here], let alone interact with the guys and get instructions and direction out there.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s definitely unique.<\/p>\n

– This is part of what makes Northeastern water polo particular. you have tenacious programs like St. Francis and Iona whose shallow \/ deep pools are a factor in how they compete.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They do a great job with their resources and it\u2019s awesome to see them be successful with what\u2019s presented to them.<\/p>\n

– You\u2019re making the best of what you\u2019ve got; you had two guys injured today but MIT has gotten off to a fast start.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a great start. Yes, we have two guys injured, but we definitely have the guys on deck and in the water to be successful against anybody we get to compete against\u2014and that\u2019s our main goal as a program. If we have six seniors or six freshmen we want to compete and make sure we put out our best effort in the pool in every single game we can.<\/p>\n

– I\u2019ve asked this before but in high-performing institutions like Brown, Cal, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford and others, academics come first\u2014so water polo has to wrap around curricular requirements.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We already have a built-in schedule between academic and athletic time that allows our athletes to avoid being between a rock and a hard spot\u2014between choosing their academic and athletic success. We get to that balance of both\u2014it\u2019s about navigating that path to what being a scholar athlete and have success in both in academics as well as the athletic part of what we\u2019re trying to do.<\/p>\n

– Where you\u2019re coming from, it\u2019s all about winning in the water; how have those trade-offs worked out?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have a time-frame of a 5 – 7 p.m. window for practice, which allows our athletes to take any course that they want to and study whatever they choose\u2014and [to decide] where they see themselves in the long term, which has been a great opportunity.<\/p>\n

That [time slot has] been put in by the school, which is great because I think it allows the guys to have a natural balance built-in, rather than me get over-excited and take up more of their time when they need to be focused on the academic side of things and professional development. Which is ultimately why they come to MIT. They come for the opportunities presented to them as students\u2014and what\u2019s presented to them as student athletes is definitely the cherry on top.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the mentality I go in with\u2014[that] and to keep that balance and long-term success.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

SAWYER KOETTERS:<\/h3>\n

– You were highly recruited out of Santa Monica High School in California\u2014including being lured to Navy by Head Coach Luis Nicolao. How did you end up at MIT?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was evaluating different options\u2014I\u2019m doing ROTC at MIT; I didn\u2019t get accepted to that program until a lot later than I expected to. The Naval Academy\u2019s an awesome place\u2014they\u2019re having a really good season so far, doing better than they have in previous years. It\u2019s good to see that Louie\u2019s stepping in and doing really cool things.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s nothing that I didn\u2019t want to go there. MIT\u2019s an awesome place; the Naval Academy\u2019s an awesome place. I feel like I fit in really well at MIT and I\u2019m really happy to be here. No regrets.<\/p>\n

– As a freshman this season, you\u2019re new to all this\u2014including the indoor pool conditions prevalent in the Northeast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, my high school\u2019s one of the only one that has an indoor pool\u2014I went to Santa Monica High School and you wouldn\u2019t think that Santa Monica would have an indoor pool, but we did.<\/p>\n

It was a huge pool compared to a pool like this, which is shallow \/ deep. We had a very nice, big facility. It\u2019s definitely a lot different coming here.<\/p>\n

– How has your adjustment been to one of the world\u2019s most rigorous academic curricula<\/b><\/span><\/span>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s definitely hard, but everyone on the team has been through it and everyone around me is going through exactly the same thing. So, it\u2019s not like I\u2019m alone; everybody helps out.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m the only freshman on the team so everyone\u2019s totally willing to help me out to get done what I need to.<\/p>\n

– Academic success in the name of the game at MIT\u2014and now you look to distinguish yourself in the water, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re in the classroom, it\u2019s 100% focus on that. Once practice starts, school\u2019s over, the day is done, it\u2019s time to grind in the pool. When you step on the pool deck, you\u2019re not thinking about school.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll do my homework on the bus ride but once we get changed into our Speedos, schools over. It\u2019s all about [water polo].<\/p>\n

We\u2019re practically a Division I program in terms of our schedule, so it\u2019s not like we\u2019re going to be skipping games to do our homework.<\/p>\n

– MIT is not a DI program\u2014and has a very good chance of playing for first-ever DIII national championship in your first year in Cambridge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everybody always says: Just focus on the games ahead. But it\u2019s not like you don\u2019t have a little circle on your calendar a few months from now.<\/p>\n

[USA Water Polo Division III National Championship Set to Begin in 2019-20<\/em><\/a>]<\/p>\n

Looking at it, it\u2019s a little motivation. [And] it\u2019s awesome to be able and come in here in my first year to have an opportunity to play for a DIII national championship.<\/p>\n

Even though every day we\u2019re trying to be the best we can, there is a goal. It\u2019s not just like we\u2019re practicing to practice: we\u2019re here to win championships.<\/p>\n

We do have those dates circled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
