U.S. Water Polo Star Maggie Steffens’ Sister-in-Law Dies After Traveling to Paris

Maggie Steffens’ sister-in-law, Lulu Conners, died Tuesday after traveling to Paris to cheer on the athlete.

Lulu Conner was an artist—she made her own version of Flavor Flav ’s USA Water Polo clock for the Olympics—a UC Davis grad, and one of three siblings. In a sweet tribute to Lulu, Maggie dropped a bouquet of flowers into the River Seine from Team USA’s boat during the July 26 Opening Ceremony. But as Maggie continues in her 2024 Olympic journey, she has a huge support system behind her—including head coach Adam Krikorian, whose own brother died shortly before the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.
