Girls' Water Polo

The longtime Fenwick coach will come out of retirement to lead the girls’ water polo program.

Fenwick High School announced that retired coach Jack Wagner will return to coach the varsity girls’ water polo team this season. 在足球买球效力超过25年后，他于2020年退役，并在修士队赢得了10个州冠军。

 

“Fenwick has played a huge part in my life and I'm looking forward to hopefully bringing back some success,” said Wagner, who surpassed 600 victories with the Fenwick program in 2019. Founder of Windy City Water Polo (previously known as the Chicago Polar Bears), he also served as a USA Water Polo Midwest Zone Coach and was the assistant coach for Indiana University’s Women’s Division I team.

 

Father of Fenwick graduate John ‘20, Wagner calls his years coaching the Friars “the best job I’ve ever had.” 在他26个赛季的职业生涯中，他的亮点包括2004年至2006年三连冠，2000年至2017年战绩不到100场。

“Jack has built a career of achievements that spans decades,” Fenwick Aquatics Director Beto Garcia said. “He not only transformed teams, but also shaped the lives of countless athletes who have gone on to achieve greatness in and out of the pool.”

 

Athletic Director Scott Thies ‘99 called Wagner an “all-time great,” known for “building teams, setting high expectations and getting everyone to bring their best every day.”
