COACHING STAFF
2006 UC SAN DIEGO MEN’S WATER POLO
In his 26 years as UCSD water polo coach, Denny Harper has esHead Coach
tablished one of the top programs in the country. In 2005, UCSD
won a school record 24 times. With multiple victories against Division I schools in Long Beach State, UC Davis, Loyola Marymount, UC Irvine, Saint Francis and a total of 19 victories against
ranked opponents, UCSD climbed as high as No. 5 in the national
polls and finished the season with a No. 10 national ranking.
Denny
Harper
27th Season
In 2004 the Tritons had several young players gain valuable experience with only one graduating senior. While the Tritons fell short
in their quest for their 14th Western Water Polo Association title, they had several wins over division I powers including Long Beach
State, UC Davis, Loyola Marymount and UC Santa Barbara. Harper was named the 2004 CWPA division II Coach of the Year after
leading the Tritons to their third 20 win season in the past five years. It was the second Coach of the Year (2000, 2004) honor at the
division II level for Harper.
One of serveral highlights occured in 2000, when the Tritons defeated USC, 9-8, in a national semifinal in Malibu to become the first
non-Division I team to play in the NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship Game. The Tritons have advanced to the NCAA Tournament
in nine of the past 13 seasons, finishing second for the first time ever in 2000, third in 1995 and 1998, fourth in 1999 and 2002 and sixth
three times. The 2002 squad went 19-13 and earned its ninth NCAA berth by winning its 13th WWPA title at home inside Canyonview
Pool. In 1995, Harper’s Tritons became the first Division III team to advance to the NCAA Water Polo Final Four, repeating the feat
in 1998 and at Canyonview in 1999.
Under Harper’s direction, UCSD has dominated the Western Water Polo Association since the league began sponsoring championships
in 1981. The Tritons have never finished lower than third in the conference, and in 25 seasons have captured 13 titles and 10 runner-up
trophies. Harper has been honored as WWPA Coach of the Year 15 times.
Harper concluded an outstanding tenure as coach of the UCSD women’s water polo team in 1999, winning five USA Water Polo crowns,
one national runner-up effort and two national third-place trophies. He has also coached the highly-successful Sunset San Diego club
teams, leading the men’s team to three Indoor National Championships and the Sunset women’s team to 10 national titles. The coach
also led the UCSD men into the Guiness Book of Records when his squad played 26 continuous hours of water polo on April 7-8, 1989.
Harper, a 1978 graduate of San Diego State University, began coaching at Rancho Alamitos and Indio High Schools, and at San Diego
State before coming to UC San Diego.

Our Mission...
Earl W. Edwards - Director of Athletics
Earl W. Edwards accepted the position of Director of Athletics at UC San Diego in March, 2000.
Under his guidance, the 23-sport program has made a successful transition from the NCAA Division
III to Division II. In fact, UCSD has surpassed all expectations in Division II, capturing women’s
soccer national championships in both 2000 and 2001, and finishing in the top-10 of the Director’s
Cup standings in four of its first five seasons.
Edwards’ move to UC San Diego represented a homecoming, as he had previously served as Associate
Athletic Director at UCSD from 1987 to 1993. He then took a position as Director of Athletics at
East Stroudsburg University in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. During his seven-year tenure at
the NCAA Division II institution, he served on numerous NCAA committees, including a 1999
appointment to the Division II Management Council. Edwards is also currently a member of the
National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Executive Committee.
Edwards is a 1972 graduate of East Stroudsburg with a master’s degree in Physical Education and
Sports Administration from the University of Massachusetts. In addition to East Stroudsburg, he has athletic administration experience
at UMass, UC Davis, the University of Michigan, Drexel University and UC San Diego. While previously serving at UCSD, Edwards
initiated the Triton Athletic Associates, the athletic department’s primary fund-raising source. Edwards now presides over a UC San
Diego program which is recognized nationally for both its athletic and academic achievements.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
UC SAN DIEGO INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
The University of California, San Diego Department of Athletics is committed to actively participating in the community through a
variety of outreach events and services. Student-athletes from 23 sports participate in a wide range of service and outreach programs in
and around the San Diego area.
In 2003-04 the Tritons began the “Team Up!” program. This program
assists local elementary schools that do not have a physical education
component in their current curriculum. UCSD student-athletes provide
healthy physical activity and create an environment for elementary
school students that foster positive thinking and team building. The
program was run at the Del Mar Heights Elementary School in the
morning hours prior to school starting and during the students’ lunch
periods during the past two years.
Triton student-athletes make the holidays brighter for 12 families in
the San Diego area on an annual basis, providing a plethora of gifts
and holiday cheer. Triton teams paired up and each tandem purchased
presents, food, and goodies to deliver to their adopted family before
the holidays. Families were selected by the Neighborhood House
Association which runs the Head Start programs throughout San Diego
County. Student-athletes contacted the families to find out what special
presents the children wanted, as well as what sort of clothing or other needs could be met.
Teams delivered the presents in person and spent time with the families, often playing
games with the children. Families each received approximately $300-$500 worth of
gifts, depending on the number of children. Presents ranged from a bike for one child to
clothing and food for the parents.
In conjuction with the California Collegiate Athletic Association as the Student-Athlete
Advisory Committee, Triton student-athletes have gone to work to raise money for the
Make-A-Wish Foundation in each of the last two years. The student-athletes held a bake
sale during the Annual Sun God Festival on the UCSD campus. Each team brought baked
goods for a sale in the evening prior to the festival’s main event. The goal at each CCAA
member institution was to raise $1 per student-athlete. Triton student-athletes far exceeded
this goal, raising over $1,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in 2005.
Additionally, the Intercollegiate Athletics Department holds an annual Blood Drive to
benefit the American Red Cross. All coaches, staff and out of season student-athletes
participated in the blood drive, while those student-athletes who were in season recruited
other students on campus to donate blood on their behalf.

ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE / SPORTS MEDICINE
UC SAN DIEGO INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Two integral parts of the UC San Diego athletic department are the Athletic Performance Program and the Sports
Medicine Program, both of which provide a tremendous advantage to all 23 of the UCSD intercollegiate sports.
The Athletic Performance Program is geared toward teaching each student-athlete how to achieve the highest level
of athletic development through enhancement of all components of strength and conditioning. Athlete workouts
are monitored and planned out by Matt Kritz, UCSD’s Director of Athletic Performance who brings a wealth of
knowledge and experience to Triton athletics. Kritz represents the only full-time strength and conditioning coach
in the entire CCAA. The Tritons work out in the RIMAC weight room that is over 12,000 square feet in size with
state of the art equipment. The UCSD Athlete Performance Program is truly designed with the student-athlete’s
enhancement in mind. Very few programs at the Division II level have such expertise and first class facilities at the
disposal of the student-athlete helping to further distinguish the Triton Athletic Department as one of the premier
intercollegiate programs in the country.
The UC San Diego Sports Medicine Center is the
hub for the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation
of athletic-related injuries suffered by Triton studentathletes. Under the supervision of head athletic trainer
Marcia Klaiber MA, ATC and her staff, UCSD athletes
receive the highest quality medical care and access to
an extensive network of physicians and other medical
specialists. Alongside Klaiber is assistant athletic
trainer Kevin Messey MS, ATC, CSCS, who assists
in every aspect of the training room.

The rest of the training room staff is comprised of two
part-time ATCs and an average of 10 athletic training
students (ATS). The UCSD athletic training room
is a clinical site for San Diego State University’s
accredited athletic training education program where
some of the athletic training students fulfill their
clinical experience. Additionally the UCSD Sports
Medicine Center offers a wide variety of options for
examination and rehabilitation.
From acupuncture to a group of six highly specialized
sports medicine, family practitioners and orthopedic
surgeons, the UCSD training room has a multitude of
options at your disposal to get you health and back on
the field of competition in no time.

Jolla is one of San Diego’s
first neighborhoods to be
settled. The city of La Jolla
has spectacular beaches and
park areas that are popular
for great diving, swimming,

Mediterranean charm and a cool Southern Californian vibe, and rolls out the
red carpet when it comes to it’s fine dining, theatre, cultural activities, boutique
shopping, art galleries and fine lodging establishments. It is no wonder why La
Jolla’s Prospect Street was dubbed ‘San Diego’s Rodeo Drive’.

climate, San Diego is located at the southern tip of California, just north
of Mexico. The residents of San Diego county are so physically active that
Sports Illustrated magazine once called it “Sportstown, U.S.A.” San Diego’s
70 miles of beaches are a haven for swimmers, surfers, divers, boaters and
sunbathers.
The city of San Diego is a major commercial business center with more than 2.6 million residents and
a varied economy based in agriculture, manufacturing, aerospace, technology, electronics, aircraft, shipbuilding, scientific research and tourism. The city is
one of the largest biotech centers in the U.S.
