One of the greatest water polo players in history. Petri is the only four-time female Olympian in school history and the only athlete ever at Cal win medals in four separate Olympic Games. She helped Team USA to a gold medal in 2012, silver medals in 2000 and ’08 and a bronze medal in 2004. A member of the U.S. National Team for 13 years, she played in her first World Championships in 2001 and was a part of every U.S. team at the tournament through 2011. Petri also helped the Americans to gold medals at three Pan American Games. An All-American and team captain at Cal, she had her school cap retired during the 2013 season. Petri lettered for the Bears from 1997-99 and again in 2001 (taking the 2000 season off to train for the Olympics). After graduation, she played professionally in Greece, Italy and Brazil.
