On the heels of its best finish in five years, the U.S. Olympic men’s water polo team was named on Friday.
The 13-player squad is led by Jesse Smith, who will join Tony Azevedo (2000-2016) as the only U.S. water polo players to compete at five Olympics. At 38, Smith is the fourth oldest Olympic water player in the sport’s 121-year Olympic history, according to Olympedia.org.
Smith was named captain and will be joined by 2016 Olympians Alex Bowen, Luca Cupido, Ben Hallock and Alex Obert.
