Christopher Dorst

Stanford University He later attended Stanford as an undergraduate from around 1973–1977, participating in their Water Polo program, where he was an All American NCAA goalie from 1975 to 1976, and was coached by USA Water Polo Hall of Fame Coach Art Lambert, who also served as an Olympic Coach. Lambert was assisted as Stanford Water Polo coach by Dante Dettamanti in 1977–78. The Stanford team won an NCAA Water Polo Championship during Dorst's tenure in 1976 and amassed a record of 55-17 between 1974 and 1976. Dorst received a master's degree in Business Administration from Stanford in 1979. Hungary, Yugoslavia, Italy, and the Soviet Union were favorites to take the Gold medal in 1984, but neither the USSR nor Hungary attended the 1984 Olympics, boycotting the U.S. games likely as a result of the U.S. boycotting the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Yugoslavia took the gold medal, with West Germany taking the bronze.

Post athletic careers After graduating Stanford in 1977 he received an MBA from the University in 1982, later working in the fields of sport and technology management. He has served on the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and the Athlete's Advisory Counsil with America's Olympic Committee. An active alumni, he has also served as a board member with the Stanford Foundation for Water Polo, and has worked as a volunteer water polo coach for a girl's high school team.

Dorst married former Stanford distance swimmer Marybeth Linzmeier in March 1988 at the Church of the Nativity in Menlo Park, California. As noted, he has stayed active as an administrator for the U.S. Olympic committee.
