In his 24 years as the UC San Diego water polo coach, Denny Harper has established the Tritons as one of the top programs in the country. Under Harper’s direction, UCSD has dominated the Western Water Polo Association since the league began sponsor-ing championships in 1981. The Tritons have never fi nished lower than third in the conference, and in 24 seasons have captured 13 titles and eight runner-up trophies. Harper has been honored as WWPA Coach of the Year 14 times. UCSD has been consistently ranked among the top 12 teams in the NCAA rankings, including a fi fth-place rank in 2000, the highest in UCSD history. Harper was recognized three times as

Division III Coach of the Year, and in UCSD’s fi rst year of Division II membership in 2000, he earned Division I and Division II Coach of the Year awards. He has a career record of 409-317-4. Harper concluded an outstanding tenure as coach of the UCSD women’s water polo team in 1999, winning fi ve USA Water Polo crowns, one national runner-up effort and two national third-place trophies. He has also coached the highly-successful Sunset San Diego club teams, leading the men’s team to three Senior National Championships and the Sunset women’s team to eight senior na-tional titles. The coach also led the UCSD men into the Guiness Book of Records when his squad played 26 continuous hours of water polo on April 7-8, 1989. Harper, a 1978 graduate of San Diego State University, began coaching at Rancho Alamitos and Indio High Schools, and at San Diego State before coming to UC San Diego. The highlight of the 2003 season was Harper reaching milestone victory number 400 at home over BYU-Hawai’i in an overtime victory. The 2002 squad went 19-13 and earned its ninth NCAA berth by winning its 13th WWPA title at home inside Canyonview Pool. In 2000, the Tritons defeated USC, 9-8, in a national semi-fi nal in Malibu to become the fi rst non-Division I team to play in the NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship Game. The Tritons have advanced to the NCAA Tournament in nine of the past 13 seasons. In 1995, Harper’s Tritons became the fi rst Division III team to advance to the NCAA Water Polo Final Four, repeating the feat in 1998 and at Canyonview in 1999.

Division III Coach of the Year, and in UCSD’s fi rst year of Division II membership in 2000, he earned Division I and Division II

Brad Kreutzkamp begins his sixth season as the assistant coach for the Triton men's team. Before coming to UCSD, Kreutzkamp was head coach at Patrick Henry High School for two years, fol-lowed by two years as head coach at Grossmont High School. While at Patrick Henry, he led the girl's team to the inaugural San Diego CIF Championship, earning Coach of the Year honors in the process. He also served as co-coach of the highly-successful Sunset club team, winning three silver and three bronze medals at the National Junior Olympic Tournament. Kreutzkamp assisted with the UCSD women's team in 1998 and is also now the Internal Operations Assistant for the department. Kreutzkamp played on back-to-back CIF championship teams at Costa Mesa High School. He later attended Orange Coast, Grossmont and San Diego State University.
