Support Zane's Journey to Team USA

I've been selected to participate in USA Water Polo's 2026 National Team Selection Camp (NTSC), which is a training camp where top youth athletes from the Olympic Development Program (ODP) from across the country are selected to showcase their skills and aim for a spot on the USA National Team. This is a huge milestone in my water polo career, and I'm so grateful to have friends and family cheering me on every step of the way.

My Story

Water polo has been part of my life since I was 7 years old. Growing up with three older siblings who all played collegiately, I spent my whole childhood on pool decks watching games, and I guess it stuck. The sport has shaped who I am in and out of the water.

This year I'm competing as a goalkeeper in the 18U division of National League, where I currently lead overall in average blocks per game at 9.0, ahead of the next closest players who compete at the college level. I've made NTSC before, and last year I had the opportunity to travel to Greece through USA Water Polo, which was an unforgettable experience. I'm a sophomore in high school, and water polo has been one of the most defining parts of my life so far.

What I love most about the sport is the team, the friendships, the competition, and honestly just being in the water. I've always felt most at home in the water. I love the relationships and pathways it opens up, and I'm excited to keep pushing toward the next level.

Why Your Support Matters

Participating in programs like ODP and NTSC involves costs. Everything raised here goes directly to USA Water Polo to cover my hotel accommodations, coaching, and transportation throughout the camp. Your support is what puts me on that pool deck, and it means more than I can say coming from the people closest to me.

Looking Ahead

This page will stay active throughout my 2026 ODP season. As things progress, whether that's NTSC, Pipeline camps, or other competitions down the road, I'll keep sharing updates here. I'm excited to see where this journey takes me and to share it with all of you.

Thank You

I am so grateful for every bit of support, big or small. Having friends and family in my corner has always meant everything to me, and knowing you're behind me as I chase this goal makes it that much more special. Thank you!
