Riley Springate 2026 Freshman

Lefty Center / Lefty Attacker / Utility

About Me

My name is Riley Springate and I play competitive water polo with Surrey Water Polo, based in Vancouver, British Columbia. I have been a member of this club for 6 years and competed in the Water Polo Canada National Championship League (NCL) with Surrey Water Polo for the past 3 seasons. I demonstrate dedication, leadership, and hard work every day at practice which resulted in me being voted Teammate of the Year for Surrey Water Polo for the 2023-24 season.

My Skills

Using my weight and size to my advantage (6 foot 3 and 175 LBS), I am a defensive force to be reckoned with. My skills, coupled with sheer hard work, have resulted in me being named Most Valuable Defensive Player for my club the past two seasons. Offensively, I play as a right driver or hole set. As a lefty, combined with my size and physicality, I am a strong player in these positions, scoring 42 goals in 24 games last season in the NCL, and 30 goals in 10 games at the Junior Olympics this summer with the Rocky Mountain Neptunes 16U team.

Academics

I am very dedicated to my academic success. I am currently in Grade 12 taking AP Stats 12, Calculus 12, Chemistry 12, Physics 12, Biology 12, French 12, English 12. I am a full participant of the Earl Marriott Secondary French Immersion Program, where my focus and participation in class, combined with diligent and consistent studying resulted in me earning straight A's and completing Pre-Calculus 11 with a grade of 99%. My Unweighted GPA is 3.96, and my Weighted GPA is 4.02. I am planning to study sciences (Math/Biology) at university.
