ANNAPOLIS, Md. — United States Naval Academy water polo head coach Luis Nicolao announced that rising seniors Jake Altmayer (Jr., Pasadena, Calif./Loyola) and Will Clark (Jr., Laguna Beach, Calif./Laguna Beach) will be team captains for the 2022 campaign.

“I could not be prouder of these guys,” Nicolao said of his team captains. “Although Jake and Will have emerged as the team leaders, all of my rising seniors are remarkable individuals, have outstanding leadership qualities, and are performing extremely well in the brigade of midshipmen. The class of 2023 water polo players comprise my first recruiting class, and they have been an extremely cohesive group since their Navy careers began. This rising senior class of water polo players is special and deserving of two water polo captains that are outstanding contributors in the pool, classroom, and halls of Bancroft.”

Clark has played 62 games in his career. He was selected as a Dr. Karel Montor Leadership Award recipient for his consistent excellence in the Leadership, Ethics and Law curriculum, specifically his performance in a Naval Ethics in Leadership. The attacker finished last season with 39 points on 17 goals and 22 assists with 11 ejections drawn and seven steals in 27 games played. For his career, Clark has 92 total points on 42 goals and 50 assists.
