Following the fall water polo season in his junior year, Kerr was invited to join USA Water Polo National Team practice, basketball lost its luster and an Olympic dream was born. I love playing in the goal, says Kerr. I love the constant challenge and playing the mental games with the shooters. And after a save, the goalkeeper in water polo is like a quarterback directing the offense. Throwing a twenty-five yard strike on the counterattack for a goal is the best.
Water polo s a great sport.
After the Olympics, Kerr, a major in Studio Arts and Education, has thoughts of opening an art gallery. He has exhibited his paintings, photography and multi-media presentations at the Santa Ana Contemporary Center of Art, UCI, and Starbuck s Caf in Irvine. Meanwhile, he is working as the Director of Student Services and Acting Dean of Students at Sage Hill, a private school in Newport Coast, which allows him the time off and flexibility to train with the National Team. Kerr ran to the front of the bus, leaped into the driver s seat and applied the breaks. US Coach Ratko Rudic, who was outside the bus thought it was a prank and when he saw Kerr in the driver s seat was furious.
