With the 2017-18 school year finally over for Cal Athletics, it’s time to award some virtual “Golden Medals” to the best Olympic sports athletes/teams/stories of the Winter/Spring season.
By the way, my pick for the best Cal male athlete of the Fall 2017 season, Cal Men’s Water Polo’s Luca Cupido, was just recently named the Cutino Award winner as the best male College Water Polo player in the country. Pete Cutino, of course, is the legendary former head coach of Cal men’s water polo. Cupido becomes only the 3rd Golden Bears to win this award following his Team USA Calympian teammate in John Mann in 2005 and Ivan Rackov in 2009.
