Rogelio de Jesús Ramírez Muñoz, captain of the Guanajuato U-18 men's water polo team, led a pair of victories at the start of the discipline at the CONADE 2024 Nationals: the first against Nuevo León by 16-12 and later against the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) by 12-10, in the activities taking place at the Polideportivo Metropolitano in Zapopan, Jalisco.

"We have been working for five years now, national after national, we are competing and have been in the top five, that is why today's result is merit of constancy and discipline since this year has been very hard for us as we have been traveling and working constantly," said Rogelio de Jesus Ramirez.
