Open up the link below to view the article on SC's very successful water polo coach. About 3/4 through the article, Sandy Gilchrist's (Team Captain- 1967) daughter Kaleigh is mentioned.
At the last Trojan Swimmers lunch at Gulliver's in January, Sandy described his daughter's experience playing water polo under coach Jovan who's coaching style is detailed in the article.
I have been asked if the author, David Wharton, is a former USC swimmer. Any comments?

USC's Jovan Vavic makes a big splash in water polo --------------------
Coach uses a strong personality to impress his style on men's and women's teams, which have won a combined 10 NCAA titles in the last 14 years.

Chuck and Jack,
Hi there! I seem to be enjoying a rare quiet evening here at home with free time on my hands. I wanted to take advantage of it while I can and acknowledge what a great job both of you did in arranging for our last TS luncheon at Gullivers. I thought it made for an ideal venue for our group and I'm really looking forward to meeting there again. It was great to have a private room all to ourselves and the U-shaped table configuration seemed to work well.
I also wanted to share the excitement of watching our Trojan swimmers take on #4 ranked Stanford at the Trojan pool this past Saturday. We are a genuine powerhouse again! Morozov broke the pool record in the 50 free with a 19.49 in the 50 on Friday and 43.00 in the 100 free on Saturday. He's done a 19.06 and a 41.88 and is loaded for bear. Not a Cal Bear, either....
You could sure feel the energy on the deck as well as in the stands. I saw former great Lenny Krazelberg cheering from the crowded stands as well as Fred Shaw and John Porter on deck as well. Peter and Ingrid were both there, too. Coach Salo has positioned both the men's and women's team to be national title contenders. I would encourage all of our O.C. Trojan alums who are able to attend the remaining dual meet with Utah on Saturday the 18th or the Pac10 championships at East Los Angeles College from 2/29 thru 3/3. With a little extra alumni support, maybe we can inflict some pain on Stanford and Cal and return the favor!

If you are interested, his funeral will be held this Saturday, Feb. 11th, at 10:30 a.m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church. A reception will follow at the family house in North Tustin. Below are the addresses.
