The senior is with the USA Water Polo Senior National squad for a four-game exhibition series in Australia “I’m excited that I can hang with the older girls and compete at that level,' she says. 'I know that I can.”
With childhood wonderment, Julia Bonaguidi dreamed of maybe, just maybe, playing women’s water polo in the Olympics.The Bishop’s School senior has joined the highest team in the land, the USA Water Polo Senior National squad, in Australia for a four-game exhibition series that began last Wednesday and extends through Thursday.The U.S. won its third straight gold medal in the Tokyo Olympic Games delayed to 2021 due to the pandemic.
Ahead of the school year, Bonaguidi competed on the Team US Junior National team that won the World Women’s Youth Championship in Belgrade, Serbia.The experience in Serbia led Bonaguidi to training sessions with the Senior National Team in November and December, and in turn, the trip to Australia for her fourth international water polo venture.
“It’s amazing just talking to my sister about water polo and even more amazing just getting in the pool with her,” Bonaguidi said. “We’re honest with each other. Obviously, you have good days and bad days. But at the end of the day, you love each other.” Keeping up with the family sport, Drake Bonaguidi just completed his junior season at La Jolla High, helping the Viking boys reach the Open Division final before falling to Bishop’s.
“Julia has a tremendous work ethic, and she leads by example very, very well,” Peabody said. “Other girls see her as someone to help not just in the pool but also school and life.”“We have a phenomenal group this year,” Bonaguidi said. “We’re grinding hard into the season right now. We’re really excited to compete for another San Diego title and compete with some of the top Orange County teams.”
