An 11-year-old needed help after big set of waves at big set of waves hit at Windansea Beach
As a big set of waves hit at Windansea Beach, La Jolla High senior Kiefer Black and some fellow teen surfers were washed up on the shore separated from their boards.
San Diego lifeguard chief James Gartland called the rescue on Labor Day, Sept. 5, a “heroic effort” in a ceremony that brought Black and Jernigan together again weeks later. Black initially played a gamut of sports as a youth with an early focus on lacrosse. Friends urged him to try water polo in the eighth grade, seeing the advantages of having a tall left-hander join them in the water. He took an instant liking to the sport.
Major Division I schools showed interest in Black, but his resolve has been firmly on Navy as part of a growing pipeline of San Diego-area players heading to the academy. The Americans swept four games against Hungarian club teams and engaged in other scrimmages and training in the visit to the country known as a water polo hotbed.
“Every year he has just got better and better,” Vikings coach Tom Atwell said. “Some things that have happened are the intangibles. He’s a great teammate, who understands that for him and us to be successful, he has to bring everyone along and make everyone around him better. He works hard at that.”
