Earlier this week the Olympic Club affirmed that the Cutino Awards ceremony honoring the top male and female intercollegiate water polo athletes is still scheduled to take place on the first weekend in June. But, like everything in these challenging times, the status of the most prestigious individual award in collegiate water polo is imperiled by the COVID-19 health crisis, which has San Francisco, the Club’s home, gripped in lockdown.<\/p>\n

\"olympic-club\"As noted Tuesday on Twitter by Greg Mescall<\/strong> of USA Water Polo, the club has selected three nominees for this year\u2019s men\u2019s award: Stanford\u2019s Ben Hallock<\/strong>\u2014the 2019 Cutino winner\u2014Pacific\u2019s Luke Pavillard<\/strong>, a nominee the past three years, and Bucknell\u2019s Rade Joksimovic<\/strong>, one of the most dynamic players in Eastern polo history.<\/p>\n

What has yet to be confirmed is who the women’s nominees will be after a season terminated early due to a nation-wide cancellation of collegiate and professional sporting events.<\/p>\n

Gary Crooks<\/strong>, The Olympic Club\u2019s athletic director who has overseen the Cutino Awards nomination process since its inception in 1999\u2014which saw the selection of UCLA\u2019s Sean Kern<\/strong> and Bernice Orweg<\/strong> of USC\u2014responded to Swimming World<\/em> regarding the status of one of the best evenings for the sport in America. Crooks confirmed via email that even though the club is closed until April 30th\u2014and perhaps longer, pending the lifting of a \u201cShelter In\u201d order imposed on San Francisco by Mayor London Breed<\/strong>\u2014the awards dinner is planned for Saturday, June 6.<\/p>\n

As occurred last year for the first time ever, the ceremony will be live-streamed by USA Water Polo, with Mescall and select guests providing color commentary as well as the announcement of the male and female winners.<\/p>\n

Assuming the Cutino Award ceremony does take place, it will provide an uplifting moment for a sport that has been hit as hard as any by a spate of professional and NCAA athletics cancellations\u2014including the postponement of pro polo in Italy, which has been devastated by COVID-19. Almost 35,000 Italians have been infected, and the country\u2019s death toll is approaching 3,300\u2014more than all who have died in China.<\/p>\n

Nominees for this season\u2019s best female polo athlete have been disrupted by the coronavirus crisis. With only half a season of play, and no national championship for the first time since the NCAA launched a women\u2019s tournament in 2001, the selection process for the 2020 female player of the year is entirely different from years past.<\/p>\n

Crooks alluded to as much, saying that uncertainty is a factor in what comes next for an award created to honor Pete Cutino, the Cal-Berkeley and national team men\u2019s coach who was one of the most formidable figures in American polo history.<\/p>\n

If there were no women\u2019s nominees, Crooks speculated that one option might be to host a scaled-down event that celebrates only the men\u2019s winner\u2014with the caveat being that individual may not be in attendance because of national team training demands prior to the 2020 Olympics, currently scheduled to begin in Tokyo on July 24th.<\/p>\n

Crooks said he would convene the Cutino Award trustees, including the late coach’s daughter Anna, next week about what steps to take next.<\/p>\n

But, a course of action that does not include a full celebration\u2014assuming the coronavirus crisis has receded sufficiently to permit a gathering of 200 or more\u2014would be a missed opportunity. Certainly for talented female athltes given a chance to shine due to the absence of top women training with their national teams\u2014players such as Tara Prentice<\/strong> of UC Irvine, who finished her Anteater career with 164 goals in three seasons after transferring from UCLA.<\/p>\n

The Cutino Awards emphasize bonds fostered<\/a> by a highly-specialized sport which inspires tremendous loyalty from those who have played it\u2014the majority of whom would likely look to a gathering in early June as an opportunity not only to celebrate the sport they love, but to make a decisive statement in the face of one of the most trying times for athletics in American history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
