Steve Krueger plays for BTA alongside his son KC Krueger — a father-son duo competing together at the U.S. Open. At 5 goals, Steve is a seasoned professional who brings experience and reliability to a team led by 10-goaler Tomas Panelo.
Father-son combinations are a recurring tradition in high-goal polo, but competing together at the U.S. Open level is rare. Steve’s role at BTA is to provide stability in the middle of the lineup — the kind of veteran presence that keeps a team organized when matches get tight. With Panelo and Nachi Viana handling the primary attack, Steve Krueger’s job is to do the work that doesn’t make highlights but wins chukkers.
Having KC on the same roster means the Kruegers share not just a last name but a field of play at the highest level of American polo.
