The 680 Drivers U16 Women's Water Polo Team took second place at the Junior Olympics, out of a 64 team field. The Drivers were the fourth seed entering the tournament. The most exciting win of the weekend was Saturday when 680 beat No. 1 seed Santa Barbara 10-8 to have the best path to the finals.

Sunday morning the Drivers powered over Socal 9-7, earning a spot in the final. The final was a tough loss, as Santa Barbara played back through the loser's bracket to get into the final, and this time Santa Barbara took the win, 12-6.

The 680 Drivers U16 Women's Water Polo Team are proud of their second place accomplishment in the largest, most competitive tournament in the country. They strongly represented Northern California versus Southern California in the ongoing battle of water polo dominance.
