IRVINE, Calif. --- Kyle Trush, a standout player from Corona del Mar High School, has signed a national letter of intent with the UC Irvine men's water polo program, announced by Anteater head coach Marc Hunt.

As a senior for the Sea Kings this past season, Trush was named third team All-American, first team All-CIF Southern Section and team MVP.

"We are extremely pleased to sign Corona del Mar High School MVP, Kyle Trush, to our 2013 roster," Hunt said.  "Kyle's experience with the USA National Junior Team, as well as his tireless work ethic, will serve to have immediate impact for the Anteaters.
