Brian Alexander (born May 3, 1983) is a former American water polo player who was a member of the United States men's national water polo team.
Playing career
Youth and collegiate
Alexander competed with Foothill High School, where he was named to the All-CIF Division I boys water polo team after scoring 91 goals in his senior year.[1]
Alexander played collegiate water polo at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He was named a 3rd team All-American in 2003[2] and 2004[3] while playing with the Gauchos.
Professional
Alexander started his professional career in Spain in 2005 with Spain's Aguas De Valencia.[4] He stayed with the club until 2007 before joining Greek side NO Patras in 2008 and stayed until 2009.[5]
2010 saw Alexander move to Australian National Water Polo League club Victorian Tigers and was named to the 2010 All Star team[6] en route to winning the 2010 NWPL Championship.[7] He remained with the club through the 2011 season.[8]
While competing overseas, Alexander has been with San Francisco, California-based Olympic Club as early as 2009.[9]
International
Junior teams
Alexander represented the United States on the Junior National Team from 2002 to 2003. Alexander, with a number of other Juniors players, was named to the United States "B" team in May 2003 for play in the 2003 US Cup, held at Stanford Cardinal's Avery Aquatic Center.[10]
The US Cup served as a final tune-up for the 2003 FINA Junior Water Polo World Championships held in August in Naples, Italy, which Alexander was named to.[11] He led the team with 12 goals[12] as the US beat Belgium for 11th place.[13]
Senior team
Alexander joined the full United States men's national water polo team in 2005, appearing in the 2005 ASUA World Championships as well as the 2005 FINA World Championships.[14]
He continued with the team and played in the 2007 FINA World Championships and 2008 FINA Men's Water Polo World League[15] in preparation for the 2008 Summer Olympics in London, but was one of the last cut players and ultimately was named as an alternate.[16][17]
Alexander persevered, setting his sights on the 2012 Summer Olympics. He participated with the senior national team in a number of major competitions including: 2009 FINA Men's Water Polo World League,[18] 2010 FINA Men's Water Polo World League,[19] 2011 FINA Men's Water Polo World League,[20][21] 2009 FINA World Championships,[22][23] 2011 FINA World Championships,[24] 2010 FINA Men's Water Polo World Cup,[19] 2011 Pan American Games,[25] and the 2012 Pan Pacific Water Polo Championships.[26]
Despite being a regular on the national team and participating in qualifying for the 2012 FINA Men's Water Polo World League,[27] Alexander missed out on being named to the Super Final roster. It was a sign of things to come as shortly thereafter he was not named to the 2012 Olympic team[28] and did not appear in any further major competitions for the team.
