UC Irvine meets the President
June 18, 2007
Washington, DC -- The UC Irvine men's volleyball team, accompanied by Chancellor Michael Drake, went to the White House to be honored for winning a national championship Monday.
The team met President George W. Bush and had a formal photo taken with him before joining 18 other national championship teams on the South Lawn for an address.
During his address to the teams, President Bush was told the crowd about some of the different mascots which were represented by the teams and ended with "and we even have Anteaters. Go Anteaters!".
Team captains Brian Thornton and Jayson Jablonsky presented the President with a team jersey as well as a stuffed Anteater.
The team began the day at UCDC receiving a letter and plaque from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's office.
