In his first trip to the Olympic Games, USC’s J.W. Krumpholz has helped the U.S. men’s water polo team turn heads in Beijing, as Team USA has scored a slot in the semifinals for a sure shot at an Olympic medal. Krumpholz has scored twice for the United States, most recently notching a crucial goal out of set in the USA’s 8-7 win over Germany. That win secured a first-place finish for Team USA in its group, securing a quarterfinal bye and automatic trip to the semifinals to assure the USA a spot in a medal game. It’s the first trip to the medal round for the United States in 16 years, as the USA last reached the semis in 1992 and finished fourth.
