The Dodd brothers, 18-year-old Ryder and 21-year-old Chase, are UCLA students and headed to Paris with Team USA for the Olympic water polo competition.
In a sport where physicality and experience matter in international competition, the U.S. men’s water polo team revealed on Tuesday that a roster spot for the Olympic Games in Paris has been given to 18-year-old JSerra High graduate Ryder Dodd, making him the youngest in the modern era to play on the team. “As a kid growing up playing water polo, this is a dream come true,” Dodd said.
All-time great Tony Acevedo was 18 when he played in the 2000 Olympic Games and former Harvard-Westlake standout Ben Hallock, the captain for this year's team, was 18 when he was first named to the Olympic team. “It’s about staying in the present,” Hallock said of the challenges an 18-year-old faces on the Olympic team. “He’s going to college in three months. There’s distractions.” There’s another set of brothers on the team, Dylan and Quinn Woodhead.
