Bio
Andrea Antonissen-Larkin devoted countless time and energy to her academic pursuits while at Riverside City College, but she was most at home in the pool where she put together one of the most storied athletics careers in the history of the entire Tigers athletics program.
Whether as a two-year starting goalkeeper for the water polo team or as an All-American for the swimming and diving squad, Antonissen-Larkin can be described in one word – Champion. She helped lead the Tigers to back-to-back state water polo championships in 2010 and 2011, including an unblemished 32-0 freshman season, and was a three-time state swim champion as a sophomore.
Antonissen-Larkin added to her lore with the amazing distinction of earning state championship honors in both sports during the same athletic year in 2011-12. She was selected the CCCAA/CCCSIA Athlete of the Year, a two-time All-America in water polo and finished her sophomore campaign as a top-10 All-America swimmer in eight events, including in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events in which she also set school records.
Antonissen-Larkin continued her academic and athletic careers at Oklahoma Baptist University and was inducted into the Riverside City College Athletics Hall of Fame in 2015.
