CBU Athletics

Casey Greenawalt became California Baptist University's men's water polo assistant coach in June 2017.

In five years with Greenawalt on board, the Lancers have gone 87-60 and finished each season ranked in the NCAA top 16. The Lancers have qualified for the last two Western Water Polo Association Championship games and put together a banner year in 2020 when it won its first-ever WWPA title and qualified for the school's first NCAA Championship appearance. The Lancers have earned four All-American and 21 All-WWPA awards in the last five seasons, as well. 

Prior to CBU, Greenawalt had already spent about 16 years coaching in Riverside and on the national level, starting as a youth coach at the Riverside Aquatics Water Polo Club. He worked his way up to head coaching positions with the club, at Martin Luther King High and within the USA Women's Water Polo National Development Team.

Greenawalt got his start coaching as a youth coach at the Riverside Aquatics Water Polo Club in 2001. He became a head coach and the club director in 2009. Just like he did in the Riverside water polo scene, he climbed up the ranks in the USA Water Polo system.
 
In 2011, Greenawalt started out as an assistant coach in the Olympic Development Program (ODP) and eventually became the women's head coach of the Southern Pacific Zone in 2014. He became an assistant coach of the USA Women's National Development Team in 2016, and took over as head coach of the program this summer.

Four of his teams won gold medals in ODP competition, including two at the Regional Championships in 2013-14 and two more at the 2015-16 National Championships. Greenawalt earned four USA Water Polo coaching awards in his career. He earned the ODP Top Coach Award at the 2013 Regional Championships, and received the Brent Bohlender Development Coach Award in the Southern Pacific Zone in 2013 and 2016 and also picked up the national honor in 2016.
 
Greenawalt's move to CBU reunited him with Head Coach Kevin Rosa. The two coached together and alongside each other at Martin Luther King High for a number of years. Greenawalt was Rosa's assistant coach of King's girls program from 2009 to 2012 and took over the head position of the program in 2013, while Rosa led the boys team through 2014. 

The Wolves went 85-45 in five seasons under Greenawalt, who was named Coach of the Year in the Big VIII League and CIF Southern Section Division III in 2014 and 2016, respectively. With Greenawalt on staff, King won eight (four boys, five girls) Big VIII League titles and two CIF Southern Section Division III championships. Most recently, the Wolves won the 2016 crown on the girls side after taking second the year before.   
 
As a player, Greenawalt spent eight years with the Riverside Water Polo Club, was a part of Arlington High's 1998 CIF championship team and competed two years at Riverside Community College. He finished top-three in the state for goals and assists both years and still holds several records for the Tigers for his offensive prowess.
