USC's second male Olympic medalist in water polo and also a two-time NCAA champion, J.W Krumpholz became the third male all-time to have won more than one Cutino Award during his career as he claimed back-to-back Peter J. Cutino Awards with his 2010 selection. Now officially done with his USC studies, Krumpholz was selected to be a Senior Speaker at the 2011 USC Student-Athlete Graduation Ceremony held May 12 at the Galen Center.
In his senior year, he became the first Trojan to be named National Player of the Year back-to-back. Krumpholz picked up All-America honorable mention and third team honors in his first two seasons as a Trojan before claiming first team selections in his junior and senior years. He wrapped up his final year at USC holding 138 career goals to rank No. 11 all-time at USC. In addition to being a 2008 Olympic silver medalist, Krumpholz was the Peter J. Cutino Award winner last year before helping lead the Trojans to back-to-back NCAA championships with their 2009 victory over UCLA.
Krumpholz scored 37 goals in his senior season and closed out his career as a three-time NCAA All-Tournament first team selection and a three-time All-MPSF pick, earning third team honors in 2007 and first team accolades in 2008 and 2009. He also was recently honored as a member of the Ronald Reagan Centennial Youth Leadership Committee.
