Dr. James Puffer Loyalty and Contribution Award
Dr. James Puffer was a three-year water polo letterwinner (1969-71) and member of two national championship teams (1969, 1971) at UCLA. He earned his doctorate degree from UCLA Medical School in 1976, attaining a family practice residency at UCLA Medical Center upon his graduation. He was named Chief of the Division of Family Medicine in 1983 and helped to make the discipline a department in 1997, of which he chaired until 1998. An instrumental gure within the UCLA Athletic Department, Dr. Puffer served as a team physician and Chief of Sports Medicine until his departure in 2001. He was an Olympic team physician during the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. In 1991, Dr. Puffer was instrumental in raising funds to endow the men’s water polo program when its existence was at risk. He served as a mentor to UCLA student-athletes and coaches alike.
In December of 2001, Dr. Puffer left UCLA to assume the position of Executive Director of the American Board of Family Practice in Lexington, Kentucky. Puffer said at the time that he could not pass up “the opportunity to provide effective and dynamic leadership to my discipline.” In his honor of leadership and devotion to UCLA, the Dr. James Puffer Loyalty and Contribution Award was established in 2001.

Jack Bariteau Most Inspirational Award
Jack Bariteau was a three-year water polo letterwinner (1968-70) for the Bruins, helping guide UCLA to its rst-ever NCAA championship in men’s water polo in 1969. Bariteau played for the Bruins under long-time head coach Bob Horn. Since his days as a student at UCLA, he has been a tremendous benefactor to the men’s water polo program. Bariteau, along with a group of other former men’s water polo players, helped launch a campaign in the early 1990s to preserve the men’s water polo program at UCLA as an NCAA sport. Bariteau’s name now graces the team’s “Most Inspirational Award,” in honor of his service to UCLA and commitment to the men’s water polo program as an alumnus. 2001 Alfonso Tucay 2002 Matt Flesher 2003 Joseph Axelrad 2004 Brett Ormsby 2005 John Blanchette 2006 Will Didinger Michael March 2007 Matt Kellogg 2008 Chris Allen 2009 Chay Lapin 2010 Clay Jorth 2011 Cullen Hennessy 2012 Josh Samuels 2013 Chris Wendt 2014 Paul Reynolds 2015 Daniel McClintick 2016 Patrick Woepse 2017 James Robinson 2018 Eric Goldenberg Kent Inoue
