Elliott Keefer, one of Clermont County’s all-time great prep aquatic stars, has recently been notified of his selection to the All-American team for his superior talents in high school water polo competition.

Keefer explained there are All-American teams that emerge from zones across the United States. Ohio is included in Zone One. The other states in this zone are Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia.

“I honestly didn’t see this coming. I was really very surprised,” said Keefer, who recently graduated from Milford High School.

He will begin his collegiate career this fall at The Ohio State University where he will be majoring in sports medicine and history and competing in the water.
