Conor Egan: star-studded athlete and water polo player. Known for his hard work, smarts, and leadership, Conor has taken a big leap this year and taken hold of a crucial role on the water polo team. From making the extra pass to set up his teammates to making crazy shots (once from half-court as the time expired), Conor always shows up when his teammates need him. Goalie and junior Henry Hansen states, “Conor Egan is a key player on the team; without his shooting ability, Westmont would likely have missed out on winning the league. Many teammates have called him “Steph Curry” because of his shooting skill.” When it is not water polo season, you can watch Conor hooping it up during basketball season.
