Why You Should Support Your Water Polo Team: Water Polo is a quick, fast paced, sport that is fun to come down and see. Citrus had one of the top water polo programs in the state during the 90’s. In that time Citrus was the runner-up in the state tournament in 1999, and all the hard-work culminated in a state championship the next year in 2000. In order for the Owls to return to such past greatness they need your help, by coming out and supporting them during their season.
