MORAGA, Calif. — Head Coach James Lathrop and the Saint Mary's Gaels are excited to welcome Kyle Stilinovich as the newest addition to the men's water polo program.
Joining the Gaels from Concord, Stilinovich spent four years on both varsity water polo and swimming while competing for Clayton Valley Charter High School. He also brings with him nine years of club experience after competing for Diablo Alliance.
During junior and senior seasons at Clayton Valley Charter High School, Stilinovich was a captain of his team and earned Diablo Valley League MVP honors. He also was named to the All-Diablo Valley League first team all four years of high school and was recognized to the All-North Coast Section second team during the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
While playing in the Olympic Development Program, Stilinovich's team placed third at the 2024 National Championships and second in 2022. His team placed fourth in 2024 and 2022 at the Junior Olympics.
Stilinovich ranked fourth in goals scored in the North Coast Section and 46th nationally, recording 115 in fall of 2025. Over his athletic career, he's tallied 430 goals, 205 assists, and 251 steals.
With his experience and success, Stilinovich should prove to be a strong addition to the Gaels' roster as the program continues to take shape for its first season of competition.
