With a total of 15 national championships as a player, assistant coach and head coach, Adam Krikorian is one of the most successful Bruins in history. As a student-athlete, he earned All-America honors as a senior and helped lead the Bruins to the 1995 NCAA Championship, scoring two goals in the title game. As an assistant coach, he helped guide the men's team to a repeat championship in 1996 and the women's team to back-to-back titles in 1997 and 1998. He became co-head coach of both programs in 1999 and went on to win three more NCAA titles with the men (1999, 2000, 2004) and eight national titles with the women (2000, 2001, 2003, and a five-peat from 2005-09). Krikorian became head coach of the U.S. Women's National Team following the 2009 season, and he has been near perfect, leading Team USA to gold medals in nine of 12 major FINA Championships, including Olympic gold in 2012. Krikorian was recently named the Pac-12's Women's Water Polo Coach of the Century and was honored in 2013 as the USOC National Coach of the Year.
