Tickets Available for 2008 CWPA Hall of Fame Dinner with Olympian Brad Schumacher
ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- A rare opportunity is available for eight individuals to spend an evening with two-time Olympian and Olympic gold medalist Brad Schumacher at the 2008 Collegiate Water Polo Association Hall of Fame Dinner on Friday, November 21 at the Double Tree Hotel in Annapolis, Maryland. The cost is $50 per person and is limited to the first eight individuals to sign up.
A former freestyle swimmer,
Schumacher won two gold medals as a member of the United States
Men's 4x100 meter and 4x200 meter Freestyle Relay Teams at the 1996
Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. Four years later, he was
a member of the US Men's Water Polo Team that placed in sixth place
at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
The only aquatics athlete in the world to become a world champion
in both swimming and water polo, he competed in the 1998 World
Championships in both sports to become the first athlete to compete
simultaneously at the World Class level since Bob Hughes at the
1956 Olympic Games.
He joined an elite group of athletes to compete in both sports at
a world championship level as only Duke Khanamoku, Johnny
Weissmuller, Bob Hughes and Matt Biondi also competed in water polo
and swimming on the world level.
Schumacher has not strayed far from his roots as he co-founded
with fellow Olympian Wolf Wigo Kap7, Inc., a commercial pool
equipment and supply company, and serves as and head coach of SET
Water Polo Club in South Orange County, California.
In addition to attending the dinner with Schumacher, individuals will witness the induction of Cmdr. Tom Popp, USN into the Collegiate Water Polo Association Hall of Fame and the unveiling of the 2008 All-Northern and Southern teams, the league Most Valuable Player and Rookies of the Year and the Coaches of the Year.
A possible once in a lifetime opportunity, more information on the dinner with Schumacher is available here.
