welcomeWelcome to the 2012 Illinois Water Polo All Stateand Hall of Fame Awards Banquet. It’s been a greatseason and tonight is our opportunity to honor theathletes, coaches and Hall of Fame inductees as theytake their place in history as being the best of thebest. Congratulations on a tremendous season to allour award winners as we prepare recognize them thisevening.
It is with a heavy heart that one of our longtime coaches, administrators, and friend of thesport will not be with us this year. Dave Perry, Fenwick Boys Head Coach, passed away onSeptember 11, 2011. A tragic victim of cancer, Dave’s positive attitude, energy, and enthu-siasm for our sport will be constantly remembered by everyone who had the privilege ofknowing and working with him. His development of many young women and men throughour sport is a constant reminder for all of us regarding the importance of leadership. Davewas always about what was best for the sport, not just his team. As a result of his hard work,we are an IHSA recognized sport for Boys and Girls that has just completed its 11th fullseason, a yearly banquet to recognize our top performers, a Hall of Fame to honor the pastpioneers and performers of our sport, more high school teams playing than any other stateoutside of California, and legacy that will continue to inspire others to greatness. It wastruly an honor to have the opportunity to work with Dave. He will always be an inspirationfor me as his contributions and dedication to excellence are great examples of what weshould all strive for every day of lives!!

CHAD CASTRO ANDLYNN CASTROA True Love of Water Polo
In 1974 Chad was the only starter fromOPRF’s water polo team returning from theISA state championship they won in 1973.1974 was the first year Fenwick competedfor the state title. In Chad’s senior year, he scored about 80% of OPRF’s goals, leadingthem to a third place finish at state. He earned First team All State. Chad then wenton to play at Loyola University.
In 1978, Chad and the Ramblers finished sixth in the NCAA championships and sec-ond in the finals at the U.S. Indoor National Water Polo Championship, losing by asingle goal to NYAC, a team made up of international stars. His senior year, he helpedlead Loyola to a fifth place finish at the NCAA. Despite Loyola’s continued successfulrecruiting of the top Illinois star water polo players, no Loyola team before or afterthose 1978 and 1979 teams ever finished as high in the NCAA championships norreached the finals of the U.S. Indoor Nationals.
After graduating college, Chad graduated law school from Loyola University rankingsecond in his class. He has since been selected as one of Illinois’s Super Lawyers.
Chad met his wife Lynn when she was also a swimmer and water polo player atLoyola. Lynn began her water polo career during her age group days playing for WellsPark/CPD. Following her graduation from Loyola, Lynn went on to become a Vice-President at Northern Trust Bank.
Chad and Lynn came back to water polo when they taught their son Michael and fourother boys from Lyons how to play the game they loved. Prior to this time, LyonsTownship High School was known as a swimming team and had little success in waterpolo in both boys and girls divisions. The boys’ teams routinely finished with recordswell below .500
Despite their demanding professional careers, Chad and Lynn volunteered eightmonths a year of their time to inspire the boys to play the best water polo they could.By Michael’s sophomore year Lyons’ finished ranked fifth in the coaches poll. continued on next page
hall of fame B I O G R A P H Y (continued)
After their son Michael graduated in 2007, Chad and Lynn were called on to assist thegirls’ program. In 2006, the Lyons girls were not even ranked in the top 20 in the stateand had finished fifth place out of six in the West Suburban Conference.
Within two years, Lyons girls became a dominant water polo force in the state finish-ing with records of 25-4 and 27-4 in 2009. In 2010, at the urgings of some of theLyons’ parents, Lynn Castro was asked to coach the high school girls’ water polo team.The parents insisted that the school hire Lynn, claiming that the girls would win thestate championship that year. No other coach in Illinois history had such pre-seasonexpectations.
Despite those pressures, with Lynn’s coaching, the Lyons girls’ team went on to have aperfect 35-0 record and a state championship. Lynn and Chad’s philosophy has alwaysbeen defense first and that Lyons team on their way to a perfect season set a record byshutting out their opponents in seven of their games. Since 2006, the Lyons girls havebeen 25-0 in conference games under tutelage of Chad and Lynn.
For the past eight to ten years, Chad and Lynn have toiled with one goal in mind: helpLyons Boys and Girls Water Polo become Top Tier Illinois programs. On April 30,2012, for the first time in history, both the Lyons Boys and Girls teams were rankednumber one in the state.
Chad and Lynn have been asked why they devote time and energy to other people’schildren when they receive no compensation for it. Chad and Lynn’s response is alwaysthe same:
“We just love to teach boys and girls how to play water polo.”
