An All-State and All-Metropolitan Conference selection at forward, John Siman scored 178 goals, then a school record, for the 1971 PCC team as it finished in fifth place at the Southern California Championships. Siman went on to become a NCAA All-American at Cal State Fullerton, then made the 1980 U.S. Olympic team, which was forced to boycott the Moscow Games. He got another chance, playing on the 1984 Olympic team and helping USA to the silver medal at the Los Angeles Games. A local Pasadena Muir High graduate before attending PCC, Siman was inducted into the USA Water Polo Hall of Fame in 1989. PCC long-time water polo head coach Nick Martin called Siman his greatest athlete. (Siman appeared in this commerical print ad for Snickers candy bars representing the 1980 USA Olympic Team).
