Ted Bresnahan has been at the helm of the Johns Hopkins water polo program for 20 of the program's 23 seasons. The winningest coach in the program's history with 286 wins, the Blue Jays have become one of the premier Division III water polo teams in the nation under Bresnahan's tenure. Bresnahan has guided Johns Hopkins to 12 Division III Eastern Championships, including five of the last seven (JHU did not participate in 2007). He has coached 37 All-Americans and five ACWPC Division III National Players of the Year, most recently Josh Kratz, who was also a First Team All-American, in 2008. Since 2003, Bresnahan has coached 57 players that have earned ACWPC Scholar-Athlete honors. In addition, he has coached three CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. The team has earned the ACWPC Team Academic award in each of the last five seasons and six times since 1998. Bresnahan led the Blue Jays to a 17-16 record in 2010 and a share of the number one ranking in the final Division III poll of the season. Hopkins has now been the number one team in the nation in the final poll three times in the last six years (2005, 2008, 2010). He led Johns Hopkins to its 12th Division III Eastern Championship as well as third place finishes at the ECAC and CWPA Southern Championships in 2009. The Blue Jays also finished fourth at the CWPA Eastern Championship, a program best. In 2008, Bresnahan earned ACWPC Division III Coach of the Year honors after leading Johns Hopkins to a 17-17 record, its 11th Division III Eastern Championship and a #1 ranking in the final CWPA Division III poll. In addition, the Blue Jays finished second at the ECAC Championship, the best finish in program history; third at the Southern Championship and sixth at the Eastern Championship. In 2007, Johns Hopkins posted a 16-15 record while finishing second at the Southern Championships - the best finish in school history. The Blue Jays were also the outright #1 ranked team in Division III for the first time since the 2005 season. The 2006 season saw the Blue Jays win their 10th overall and third consecutive DIII Eastern Championship as well as place fifth at the ECACs, fourth at the Southern Championships and a program best sixth place finish at the Eastern Championships. Bresnahan earned Coach of the Year honors in 2005 after guiding Johns Hopkins to a 24-6 record and the #1 national ranking in the season's final poll. The Blue Jays did not lose to a Division III school in their 30 games in 2005 while all six of their losses came to Division I schools ranked in the top-20 at some point during the season.
