First Year of Studies The First Year of Studies program provides all first-year students with the opportunity to gain a wide-ranging liberal arts background before choosing a specific major within Notre Dame’s five undergraduate colleges. A progressive advising program for all student-athletes enables the University to follow the academic progress of all student-athletes on a regular basis. Key to the program is the fact that it is not run by the athletics department but by the University administration. Student-Athlete Success Notre Dame expects the best out of its student-athletes just as it does of every other student on campus. Notre Dame has had unprecedented academic success among its athletes, consistently ranking among the top NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision schools in graduation rates and academic progress. With more Academic All-Americans than any other school since 2000, Irish athletes have shown themselves capable of performing in the classroom while competing on the field at an elite level.

THIS IS NOTRE DAME
The University of Notre Dame When Father Edward F. Sorin started his school in the northern Indiana wilderness, he had only $300, three log buildings badly in need of repair and a far-sighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to meet the growing educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of building a great university, and in 1842, he founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac. Over the years, the University of Notre Dame du Lac would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame has also been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of synthetic rubber. The University also has stressed residential life, with four of five students living on campus. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Father Sorin.

Jack Swarbrick Director of Athletics
John B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate who has risen to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant, and executive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries, is in his second year as director of athletics at his alma mater. His first year on campus in 2008-09 featured the announcement of plans for a new, free-standing ice hockey arena; creation of an athletic administrative division to enhance athletic performance — plus 35 All-Americans, eight Academic All-Americans and four NCAA postgraduate Scholarship winners. Notre Dame teams in 2008-09 finished as the NCAA runner-up in both women’s soccer (26-1, led by Hermann Trophy winner Kerri Hanks) and fencing (men 33-0, women 32-2), while the women’s tennis squad advanced to the NCAA semifinals. The Irish men’s soccer squad was seeded 14th in the NCAA bracket, while the hockey team ranked fourth in the final poll after winning CCHA regular-season and postseason crowns. Men’s lacrosse finished unbeaten in the regular season (and second in the final poll) -- and women’s lacrosse won its first BIG EAST title. Notre Dame also ranked number one in the country (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) numbers with a 98 for all student-athletes. The 2009 Academic Progress Rate (APR) statistics included more perfect 1,000 scores by Irish teams (nine) than by any other FBS institution. Raised in Yonkers, N.Y., and Bloomington, Ind., Swarbrick is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Upon graduating from Stanford University Law School in 1980, he returned to Indiana to accept a position as an associate in the Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels. He was made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years overall with the firm. As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick’s leadership efforts resulted in the city earning the bid to host the 2012 Super Bowl; becoming the home of the NCAA headquarters; and hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, the 1991 World Gymnastics Championships, NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours, and other college championship competitions plus a wide array of national and world championships in the Olympic sports. He served as sports commissioner of the 1982 U.S. Olympic Festival in Indianapolis, competition director of the ’87 Pan American Games, and chairman of the ’91 World Gymnastics Championships. Swarbrick has served as general counsel for numerous national governing bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics and USRowing. Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick and his wife Kimberly are the parents of four children: Kate, a senior at Saint Louis University; Connor, a junior at Wake Forest University; Cal, a senior in high school; and Christopher, a high school junior.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®
Season Preview
Notre Dame looks to make it a three-peat, seeking a third consecutive BIG EAST title in 2010. This season the Irish boast one of the fastest and deepest rosters in program history.
Season Preview The Next BIG Step Defending BIG EAST champions not only look to repeat, but advance to NCAAs Already an established force in the BIG EAST Conference by virtue of four team titles and a pair of runner-up finishes over the last six seasons, the Notre Dame men’s swimming and diving program looks ahead to the 2009-10 campaign with an even loftier goal – the NCAA Championships. Entering his 25th season at the helm of the Irish program, head coach Tim Welsh and his veteran staff have constructed a program laced with exceptional talent across the board that should put Notre Dame on the doorstep – and likely into – the national meet hosted by Ohio State this spring. “This is an exciting year ahead. We are big, we’re young, we’re looking at a very exciting schedule and we hope to be fast,” Welsh said. “We love the energy that a large freshmen class brings to the program, and we have our fingers crossed that we learn all the right things at the right time. “This is certainly the deepest team we have ever had and we need this group to take a giant step. If the group takes a giant step, then the season we anticipate having gets a little closer to actually happening. Last year we started with a couple of big holes due to injuries. But at this point we are healthy, excited and ready to go.” Senior captain John Lytle, who has a hand in seven school records, is one of seven seniors without an appearance in the NCAA Championships. The Irish return a combined 14 BIG EAST title holders, with Lytle’s programbest 16 all-league accolades leading the way into a repeat effort in 2010. “As far as defending the BIG EAST title goes, we don’t think in terms of defending it but we do think in terms of winning it,” Welsh said. “We definitely want to be in a position where we are not swimming to prevent a loss, but swimming to create a victory. The way we focus on it this goal is swimming fast enough for the points to take care of themselves. So in the simplest of terms, it is all about improving, and I am sure that every team at the meet would say that. But if we improve the way we want to improve, and if we go fast at the right time, we will be pleased with the results.” Lytle’s efforts on the freestyle end will be flanked by seniors Andrew Hoffman, Patrick Lloyd, David Anderson and Andrew Deters, with each having extensive championship experience.

Senior John Lytle is locked in on an invitation to the 2010 NCAA Championships.
On the distance side it will be Deters, the 2009 BIG EAST 1,650 Free champion, leading the charge. Deters will be joined in distance events by Ryan Belecanech, who placed third in the 1,650 Free at last year’s league meet. Steven Brus, the 500 Free champion at the BIG EAST meet, also returns to swim in a number of events. Fellow captain MacKenzie LeBlanc will bring his versatility and five all-BIG EAST accolades to the table along with diver Caleb Dunnichay’s know-how after earning a national championship with Auburn in 2007.
UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®
“If you look at some of our returning student-athletes, we return quite a few university record holders,” said Welsh. “John Lytle is back, MacKenzie LeBlanc is back, Steven Brus is back, Andrew Deters is back, Andrew Hoffman is back, Michael Sullivan is back. Three of four members of last year’s 200, 400 and 800 Free Relay teams return.” Add an incoming freshmen class tabbed as the nation’s 14th best by CollegeSwimming.com to an already championship program, and the Irish may have just the right recipe for success in 2009-10.
“It is a big, fast, exciting freshmen class,” Welsh said. “They are all USA Junior National level or above and they cover some of the gaps we had last year, particularly in the 200 IM and the 100 Breast. Many of them have already notched times that were competitive with everything that we did last year. We think they are a class that will make a big contribution to our program. On paper they are as fast of a class as we have ever had enter Notre Dame. Paper doesn’t make you one second faster in the pool, so it all counts on what happens when we get in the water.” Kevin Overholt, the nation’s 24th-ranked recruit, was one of the country’s top sprinters last year and should add speed to the Irish relays. Chris Johnson and Mason Weber have already recorded times faster than any current Irish breastroker. Tack on the likes of John McGinley, Bill Bass, Jordan Berry and New Orleans transfer Petar Petrovic, Serbia’s national champion in the 50 Back in 2006, and Notre Dame has the speed and depth to make a lateseason run to the NCAAs. “We were thin in the 100 Breast last year, but Joseph Raycroft had a phenomenal summer and raced faster long-course than he has before, which should help us this year. Chris Johnson and Mason Weber both bring breaststroke speed. When you add Kevin Overholt, John McGinley and Bill Bass to our 200 Free mix, we can go six or seven deep in that event at times that were faster than eighth place at last year’s BIG EAST meet. Swimmers in the 200 Free are like baseball pitchers, you just can’t have too many good ones.” Petrovic certainly adds speed to the backstroke events with Marshall Sherman, Thomas Van Volkenburg and Michael Sullivan also carrying the load in those races. “Michael Sullivan has been swimming lights out for us,” Welsh said. “We’ll also count on him in the individual medleys, and those events are plugged with depth for us.” LeBlanc will try to better his 200 Fly record along with Berry, Bass, Wesley Mullins and Stefan Prendergast. Notre Dame dominated the diving portion of last year’s league meet and returns everyone off the board except for All-American Michael Bulfin who graduated last spring. Eric Lex, Wesley Villaflor and Dunnichay have each earned all-league accolades throughout their careers. “Everything we talked about since the end of last year is in terms of giant steps,” Welsh said. “We have taken baby steps. We need a giant step. We think we have underclassmen and upperclassmen with giant step capability. Not just in the pool, but out of the pool. Our spring grade-point average ranked fifth in the nation, and we want to improve on that.We’ve won the last two BIG EAST titles, and we’re shooting for a third.
Junior captain Michael Sullivan will be a versatile force for the Irish throughout the 2009-10 season.
“We’ve also been much more active in community service. I think those types of things – like academics and service – help characterize this program. What we are trying to do this year is redefine what we consider normal for this program and to do it in a giant step forward way.” Notre Dame begins the season Oct. 9 by hosting the Dennis Stark Relays. The Irish will host seven meets throughout the year, including four in a three-week stretch in January, before zeroing in on the program's fifth conference crown in six years. "The 2009-10 schedule looks good for the team this season. It's very challenging and there are a lot of home meets, which we like," Welsh said. "It is a very powerful schedule with some of the top finishers from last year's BIG EAST Conference Championships as well as Purdue, Northwestern and Michigan State on the slate, all of which are much improved." Notre Dame plays host to Oakland (Oct. 23) two weeks into the season and concludes the home portion of the fall schedule with visits from Cleveland State and Miami (Ohio) on Oct. 31. Notre Dame then travels to West Lafayette for a showdown with Big Ten powerhouse Purdue (Nov. 6), before taking on BIG EAST foe Pittsburgh on the road. The Irish have defeated Pittsburgh in five straight dual meets, including a win over the 17th-ranked Panthers in 2004. The Irish conclude the fall portion of the schedule with a trip to Columbus for the Ohio
State Invitational for the fourth consecutive season. Notre Dame finished fourth in last year's 12-team field. Northwestern (Jan. 9), Michigan State (Jan. 15) and Louisville (Jan. 16) come to town to begin the second half of the season with the Shamrock Invitational to follow on Jan. 29-30. "The last two weeks of the schedule are extremely important because we want to finish our season strong, and it will be challenging with the strength of the schedule at that time of the year," Welsh said. "From the middle of January to the middle of February we better be fast." The 2010 BIG EAST Conference Diving Championships will take place Feb. 12-14 in Pittsburgh, Pa., followed by the swimming events on Feb. 17-20. The Irish will take part in the Austin Grand Prix (March 4-6), hosted by the University of Texas, and the Boiler-Make-It Invitational in West Lafayette (March 7) before the NCAA Championships. Purdue will host the NCAA Zone Diving Championships (March 12-13), and the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships will take place in Columbus from March 25-27. Notre Dame finished with a 7-6 dual meet record last season before notching a thrilling win in the final race of the 2009 BIG EAST Championships to edge Louisville, 782.5-773, for the title. The Irish 400 Free Relay team of Lytle, Nosal, Hoffman and Danny Lutkus knocked off the Louisville squad - a seven-second favorite - to capture the team crown.

Coaching Staff
Head coach Tim Welsh and his staff have put together one of the deepest rosters in program history for the 2009-10 season.
Head Coach
Tim Welsh
Head Coach 25th season Providence ’66
Already one of the most respected coaches in the nation, Tim Welsh has taken the Notre Dame men’s swimming and diving program to unprecedented levels and on the verge of becoming a national force. Under his guidance, the Fighting Irish captured the program’s first BIG EAST title in 2005 and repeated the feat in 2006, 2008 and 2009. Notre Dame has sent competitors to the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in three of the past five seasons with diver Michael Bulfin earning the program’s first All-America honor in 2008. Welsh is not unaccustomed to success, as student-athletes and teams under his care have exceeded expectations and broken barriers throughout his 31-year career as a head coach. Welsh’s squads have experienced great team success over the years. In 1978 and 1979, he helped Johns Hopkins to back-to-back Division III national championships, being named National Coach of the Year on the latter occasion. In all, Welsh has coached 28 teams that have claimed conference championships and 20 that have won nine or more dual meets in a season. Since arriving at Notre Dame in 1985, Welsh has seen his teams post a 294-160 (.648) dual-meet record, while winning 20 league titles (Midwestern Collegiate - 15, BIG EAST - 4, North Star - 1) and taking second place on five occasions (MCC - 2, BIG EAST - 3). His studentathletes also have been accomplished, earning 14 invitations to the NCAA Championships, gaining All-America honors on four occasions and winning 22 BIG EAST events. With a victory over St. Bonaventure on Jan. 29, 2005, Welsh surpassed Dennis Stark’s mark of 167 career dualmeet victories at Notre Dame. Stark, the only other head coach in Fighting Irish swimming and diving history, was

at the helm of the program from 1958 until Welsh took over in 1985. The most apparent reality of the Welsh era at Notre Dame is the almost every-day occurrence that breaking University records has become. In his tenure, Welsh has seen his student-athletes break the Notre Dame record in every event -- on both the men’s and women’s sides -- on multiple occasions. In all, more than 200 University records have been set under Welsh’s tutelage, with the bar continuing to be raised each season. The Irish established 12 marks during the 2004-05 and 2008-09 seasons alone and seven more in 2005-06, adding eight more in 2007-08. In the lists of the top 10 performers in each swimming event in Notre Dame men’s history, no names remain from the pre-Welsh era. The Irish swimming and diving program entered a new era under Welsh, as well. In his first 17 years at Notre Dame, the men’s swimming and diving team had little access to scholarship aide. The Notre Dame Athletic Department decided in December 2002 to fully fund all of its varsity sports, giving the Irish a tool with which to compete with the best schools in the nation. Working now with a fully funded program, Welsh has welcomed some of the program’s top freshman classes in recent years. CollegeSwimming.com tabbed the incoming class for the 2009-10 season the nation’s 14th best. Notre Dame has finished in the top four at the BIG EAST Championships for 12 consecutive seasons, including three runner-up results (1999, 2000, 2004 and 2007). The Fighting Irish finally broke through and captured the program’s first BIG EAST title in 2005 by defeating Pittsburgh, the eight-time defending conference champion, by 275 points. Increased expectations were placed on the Irish in 2005-06 and the squad delivered with another BIG EAST title in dominating fashion, also accomplishing the feat in 2007-08 and 2008-09. Rewriting of the record books has been a common theme for Notre Dame under Welsh. All but two current University records have been set since 2004, and the Irish have combined to reset 14 records over the past two seasons. After falling 4.5 points short of the BIG EAST title in 2006-07, Welsh revved up the engines and guided the Irish to championship runs in 2007-08 and 2008-09. One of the greatest races in Notre Dame history capped off the 2009 league meet behind the efforts of that season’s 400 Free Relay quartet: Danny Lutkus, Joshua Nosal, John Lytle and Andrew Hoffman. A seven-second underdog to the Louisville relay team heading into the final race of the meet, the foursome pulled off the upset in dramatic fashion to secure the program’s second consecutive league title. Twelve school records fell during that 2009 event. Coming off a BIG EAST title in 2005, a lot of expectations were placed upon the 2005-06 team and they delivered with a second straight league championship. The Fighting Irish claimed three event titles at the conference meet and produced 13 all-BIG EAST performers en route to the 224.5-point victory over Pittsburgh and the rest of the 11-team field. A total of seven school records were set during the season. Bulfin became just the third studentathlete in program history to qualify for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships and the second in as many seasons, following swimmer Tim Kegelman, who did so in 2005. Bulfin returned to the NCAAs in 2008 and scored Notre Dame’s first points ever at the national meet.

In the fall of 2004, Notre Dame appeared in the CSCAA dual meet rankings for the first time ever as the Irish debuted at No. 21. In 2005-06, the Irish climbed to No. 18 in the rankings, which was a program-best mark until the 2007-08 squad earned a No. 17 ranking. The 2004-05 season also witnessed Notre Dame’s first NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships participant in the Welsh era, and just the second in the history of the program. Kegelman swam in the 100 Fly, 200 Fly and the 200 IM at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in Minneapolis, Minn. The sophomore was also one of six Notre Dame swimmers to take home BIG EAST titles in 2004-05. For his team’s accomplishments, Welsh was named the BIG EAST Coach of the Year for the third time in six years. A key factor behind the success of the Fighting Irish program during the 2004-05 season was senior Frank Krakowski. He left Notre Dame holding five University records, along with being a six-time all-BIG EAST performer. Krakowski was also tabbed as a CSCAA AllAcademic swimmer. The 2003-04 campaign provided a glimpse of the bright future of Notre Dame men’s swimming and diving. The Irish faced their toughest schedule in school history and responded by setting eight school records. Notre Dame posted 584 points at the BIG EAST Championship to finish as conference runner-up. Among the highlights of that meet was the first-ever Irish 1-2 finish in the meet, as Jamie Lutkus and David Moisan topped the field in the 400-yard individual medley. Notre Dame also posted runner-up finishes in the 1999 and 2000 BIG EAST Championships. The Irish delivered a school-record time in 1999 to win the final event of the meet, the 400 Free Relay, to edge Syracuse by one point for second place. Notre Dame won its first three conference titles that year en route to its best-ever finish. Welsh was named the BIG EAST Coach of the Year, capping a season in which the Irish broke 16 of 19 University records. Notre Dame reset eight varsity records in 1999-2000 in finishing second in the BIG EAST Championships once again. Other highlights of Welsh’s tenure as men’s coach at Notre Dame are 10 seasons with 10 or more dual-meet victories, including a 12-1 mark in 1989-90, the best record in school history. The Irish also were 11-1 in 199798 and set the school record for wins in a season in both 1987-88 and 1990-91 with identical 13-3 marks.

The Irish women's coach from 1985-86 through 1994-95, Welsh's teams won MCC titles every year the Irish were in the conference, from 1987-95. His teams also claimed the Eastern Intercollegiate championship twice. The first title came in 1990 and the second in 1995, when the last women's program Welsh coached finished with the best record in school history, 14-1. During his 10 years at the helm of the women's program, Welsh sent 11 swimmers to the NCAA championships, including
three-time All-American Tanya Williams. In that span, every Irish women’s University record was broken. Prior to coming to Notre Dame in 1985, Welsh spent eight years as the head men’s and women’s coach at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Md. The New York native led the men’s squad to a mark of 65-36, including two NCAA Division III national championships and eight Middle Atlantic Conference titles. The women’s team also was successful under Welsh, earning a Middle Atlantic Conference championship while achieving six seasons at .500 or better. Welsh graduated magna cum laude from Providence College in 1966. He went on to earn his master’s degree at the University of Virginia in 1967. Welsh became the men’s assistant coach at Syracuse in 1974 after leaving Winthrop College (S.C.), where he had taught English. During his four years at Syracuse, Welsh continued to teach English and designed and ran the training program before joining the Hopkins swimming program. Welsh was awarded the Richard E. Steadman Award by the College Swim Coaches Association in 1993. The award, given annually to a swimming or diving coach in the high school, club or university ranks who, in the opinion of the International Swimming Hall of Fame, Inc., and the College Swim Coaches Association, has done the most to spread joy and happiness in swimming. Welsh continued a career of world travel, as he took his team to Ireland during the winter of the 2004-05 season. Previously, he traveled to Bogota, Colombia, in the spring of 1985 as a clinician and instructor for Sports America Program of the U.S. State Department and took his Irish squad to Portugal in the summer of 1991. Welsh and the 1996-97 Irish ventured to Brazil over Christmas break for a nationally-televised meet featuring international Olympic swimmers. In 2008, the Irish trekked to Puerto Rico for the program’s annual winter training session. Welsh’s student-athletes have been traditionally strong in the classroom, as well as in the Rolfs Aquatic Center. Perennially on Collegiate Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) All-Academic list (which ranks
teams according to grade-point average), the Irish claimed the top spot in the 1999 season and have been in the top 10 eight times since 1990. The program was honored in 2009 with the BIG EAST Team Excellence Awards, which recognizes the highest collective gradepoint averages in each conference sport. That year’s team finished with a 3.272 grade index. In his 25th season as head coach at Notre Dame, Welsh ranks behind only track and field’s Joe Piane (35 seasons) as the longest-serving program leader at the University. He also was awarded an honorary monogram from Notre Dame’s National Monogram Club and has seen five of his swimmers garner the Byron V. Kanaley Award, the most prestigious honor an Irish student-athlete can achieve. In 2002, Welsh was featured in the ASCA newsletter in appreciation for his dedication as a member of the ASCA’s Board of Directors (this was the Bob Ousley Award for Service to ASCA, and was presented at the ASCA world Clinic in 2002). One of Welsh’s key developments is the ASCA Fellows Program – which is designed to professionally and thoroughly prepare the next generation of coaching leaders. In fact, Welsh was named president of the ASCA in September 2009. Welsh received the CSCAA’s Distinguished Service Award for his 35 years of service in college coaching and was deemed the organization’s Division I men’s representative on its Board of Directors in 2009. Swimming World Magazine highlighted Welsh along with school record-holder MacKenzie LeBlanc in a fall 2008 issue. The pair shared training tips and personal experiences in one of the sport's most recognized publications. A published writer and master motivator, Welsh and his wife, Jacqueline (who works on campus as a curator of education in the Snite Museum of Art), are the parents of two sons. Tim, a 2002 Notre Dame graduate, participated in the University’s Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) program before enrolling in an English Ph.D. program at the University of Washington. John is a 2005 Notre Dame graduate.

Diving Coach
Caiming Xie
Diving Coach 15th Season Beijing Institute of Physical Education ’85
In over 30 years as a diving coach, Caiming Xie has helped his protégés win BIG EAST titles, All-America honors and gold medals. A proven winner, Caiming’s experience and influence truly touch all corners of the globe. He is entering his 15th season as head men’s and women’s diving coach at Notre Dame in 2009-10. During his tenure at Notre Dame he has coached two AllAmericans on the women's side, as well as the top two men's divers in school history including 2008 All-American Michael Bulfin. He was named the BIG EAST Men’s Diving Coach of the year for the third-straight season in 2007 after helping Bulfin capture two all-BIG EAST honors at the meet, while Sam Stoner earned one all-conference accolade. One season later, Bulfin would earn his second trip to the NCAAs, scoring Notre Dame’s first-ever points at the meet while earning the program’s first All-American accolade. The Irish filled the podium at the 2009 BIG EAST Championships by claiming stake in four of the top six positions in both the 1- and 3-meter events. The 2005-06 season was one of the finest for men's diving at Notre Dame. Bulfin became just the second diver in pro-

Perry-Eaton then became the first Notre Dame diver ever to win a title at the NCAA Zone C Championships, taking first off the 1-meter board. At the NCAA Championships, she delivered the highest-ever finish for a Notre Dame swimmer or diver, taking third in that event, ending up just 3.30 points behind the national champion and securing All-America honors. She followed that up with two more conference titles (for a BIG EAST record five in her career), her third conference diver-of-the-year award, and two more All-American honors. In 2002-03, Perry-Eaton became the first Notre Dame diver -- and first non-University of Miami diver since 1996 - to win a conference championship, placing first in the 1meter competition. She also was second on the 3-meter board and was named the BIG EAST’s top diver. Perry-Eaton then qualified for the NCAA Championships, where she placed ninth in the 1-meter event and 20th on the 3-meter board to earn honorable mention All-America honors. In 2001-02, Heather Mattingly became the first Irish diver to earn All-America honors, finishing eighth in the 3-meter competition at the NCAA Championships. Mattingly also earned honorable mention All-America honors on the 1meter board, taking 12th. She was the first Notre Dame diver to qualify for the NCAAs in four consecutive years -- also earning honorable mention All-America in 2001 (13th in 3meter) and 2000 (12th in 1-meter, 12th in 3-meter). Before coming to Notre Dame, Caiming was the head diving coach for three years at the University of Toledo, earning Mid-American Conference diving coach-of-the-year laurels in each of his last two seasons. Prior to his stint with the Rockets, Caiming served as an assistant coach for the 199192 season at Pittsburgh. Boasting a wealth of international experience on his resume, Caiming served as the 1980 Chinese Olympic diving coach. He also has served as a technical consultant for United States Diving since 1994 and has held clinics and presentations for the United States Diving national team. The Chinese national team coach from 1977-90, Caiming coached Sun Shu-Wei, a gold medalist in the men's platform competition at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, and Zhu Jin-Hong, who finished fourth in the women's platform in Barcelona. Caiming's divers also have earned medals at the Asian Games, World Cup, World University Games and World Championships. In 2009, he was an assistant coach for the United States at the World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia. The United States earned six medals at the event. A competitive diver in his own right, Caiming won the springboard competition at the Asian Games in 1974 and earned first place in the platform and second in the springboard competition at the National Games of China in 1975. Caiming is a 1985 graduate of the Beijing Institute of Physical Education and has won numerous national Chinese diving championships. Caiming and his wife, Ping Tong, have one son, Tong, who graduated from Notre Dame in 2003 after a successful career as an Irish diver.
gram history to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Bulfin also earned all-BIG EAST honors off the 1-meter board, while his teammate Stoner garnered all-conference honors in the 3-meter competition. Both Bulfin and Stoner competed at the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships. Bulfin qualified for the NCAAs with his fourth-place showing off the 3meter board at the Zone competition. He would also finish ninth off the 1-meter board, while Stoner was 10th, after registering a 17th-place showing in the 3-meter. The success of his diver's helped Caiming garner the BIG EAST Conference Men's Diving Coach of the Year Award for the fourth time. He also collected the honor in 1999, 2004 and 2005. In 2005, Stoner placed fifth at the BIG EAST Championships off both boards and would go on to finish 17th out of the 32-diver field at the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships. That marked the top finish for an Irish rookie in 1-meter action in the meet since Andy Maggio was 14th in 2000. Caiming, the first full-time diving coach in Notre Dame history, recruited and developed three divers in the class of 2003. The group, which went undefeated in 2001-02, was a key to Notre Dame’s dual-meet fortunes over a four-year span, and all three left among the best eight divers in school history on the 1-meter board. Maggio was the most dominant Irish men’s diver ever, holding three of the five University diving records. In 2002, he finished fourth at the NCAA Zone Diving Meet, missing by just six points Notre Dame’s first berth to the NCAA Men’s Championships in 27 years. Joe Miller and Tong Xie, Caiming’s son, each delivered career-best performances in their final seasons, a sign of Caiming’s ability to help divers improve dramatically during their time with him. Caiming also tutored 2001 graduate Herb Huesman throughout his career, which ended with him as the holder of three varsity records. On the women's side, Caiming was responsible for the development of Heather Mattingly and Meghan Perry-Eaton, the first two diving All-Americans in Notre Dame history. The last several seasons have been the most successful in Irish women’s diving history, featuring six BIG EAST titles, four All-America honors and four BIG EAST Championships Most Outstanding Diver awards. Most recently, Natalie Stitt swept the 1- and 3meter events at the 2009 BIG EAST Championships while earning the nod at the league’s top diver. Caiming, who was the league’s diving coach of the year in 2009, led Stitt to her first NCAA Championships appearance later that season. In 2003-04, Perry-Eaton turned in the most impressive campaign ever by an Irish diver, as she was beaten Caiming Xie with his wife Ping Tong and son Tong, a 2003 just one time during the regular season before sweep- graduate and diver at Notre Dame.

Matt Tallman is entering his ninth season at Notre Dame and his fourth as associate head coach. Tallman spent his first five campaigns serving as assistant coach for the Fighting Irish before assuming his associate position in July 2006. His recruiting efforts have produced some of the top classes in the history of the program – including the 14th-best incoming class in 2009-10 – which in turn has made Notre Dame a factor on the national scene.

Tallman has been a key in the growth of the Irish program, and his first eight seasons have seen a number of superlatives. In his inaugural campaign, Notre Dame matched the third-highest win total in the history of the program, ending up 11-3 in dual meets. After failing to win their own Notre Dame Invitational for the first time in four years the season prior to Tallman’s arrival, that meet has seen five Irish victories, including an impressive 2003 performance that featured Notre Dame setting a (then) meet record for points scored and claiming a 710point triumph over a talented second-place The Tallman Family (left to right): Hannah, Heather, Martin and Matt.

In addition to recruiting, Tallman assists head coach Tim Welsh in all facets of the Irish swimming and diving program, including on-deck coaching and teaching, training, supervising dryland workouts, and day-to-day operations. Prior to his stint at Notre Dame, Tallman served as an assistant at the University of Maryland in 2000-01. He helped the Terrapins send a schoolrecord number of women’s qualifiers to the NCAA Championships. Maryland peaked at 16th in the national rankings that season, its highest listing in school history. Before his stop at Maryland, Tallman spent two years as the head swimming coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. While at IUP, he was selected as the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 1999 after helping the women’s team to the PSAC title, ending Clarion University’s 23-year stranglehold on the championship. He also helped the IUP women’s team to sixth- and seventhplace finishes at the NCAA Division II championships. In his two seasons at IUP, the women’s squad was 18-0 in dual meets. Fifteen IUP swimmers achieved AllAmerica honors under Tallman’s tutelage while 18 swimmers earned all-PSAC accolades and five student-athletes were named Academic All-Americans. A 1997 graduate of The Catholic University of America, Tallman swam for four seasons and captured 11 titles at the Capital Athletic Conference Championships. He set school and conference records in the 100 and 200 Breast, along with the 200 and 400 Medley Relays. Born Sept. 24, 1973, in Camden, N.J., Tallman, who is also an accomplished cyclist, has a number of Notre Dame connections. His father Dennis is a ’73 graduate and his grandfather, Edgar F. Bailey, played football for the Irish in the 1940s. Tallman married the former Heather Grzeskowiak in the summer of 2006. The couple, along with her daughter Hannah, and their son, Martin, resides in Mishawaka, Ind.

Season in Review
Notre Dame set a pair of league records at the 2009 BIG EAST Conference Championships while claiming the team title after defeating Louisville in a photo-finish 400 Free Relay finale.
Season in Review

picked up victories in four events over the final two sessions to secure the wins over Denver (190-180), Michigan State (232-138) and West Virginia (243-127).
For the second consecutive season and fourth time in five years, Notre Dame won the BIG EAST Swimming and Diving Championship. The Irish also earned votes in the final CSCAA top 25 poll after finishing the 2008-09 campaign with a 7-6 dual meet record.
Wrapping Up the Fall … Six season best times in as many events were recorded in early December as Notre Dame capped off the Ohio State Invitational at McCorkle Pavilion. The Irish placed fourth among the 12-team field with 398 points upon the conclusion of the three-day event.
The Four Seahorsemen ... Notre Dame came through with one of the most dramatic performances in program history to earn this season’s BIG EAST title. John Lytle, Danny Lutkus, Joshua Nosal and Andrew Hoffman overcame the odds to down top-seeded Louisville in the 400 Free Relay and clinch the team title. Notre Dame entered the final race as the second seed while holding a slight advantage over Louisville in the point standings, and was a seven-second underdog to the relay squad of the top-ranked Cardinals. Lytle came from behind in the first leg to give the Irish a lead they would not relinquish, while Lutkus and Nosal maintained the margin and Hoffman closed the door in his anchor role.
Hitting the Trifecta … In a November tri-meet action Notre Dame was able to pick up a pair of wins with victories over host Cleveland State and Miami (Ohio). The Irish beat the Vikings, 132-109, and downed Miami by a 143-100 margin. Notre Dame won five of the 13 events. Michael Sullivan was first in a pair of races, as was John Lytle. Andre Hoffman tacked on first-place points with his strong showing in the 200 Free.
The Fastest Got Faster ... The longest-standing record in the Notre Dame annals was broken at the BIG EAST league meet – not once, but twice. Andrew Hoffman and John Lytle each bettered the 50 Free mark as Hoffman (20.39) accomplished the feat during the consolation round with Lytle going 20.05 one heat later.
Pulling Past Pittsburgh … Top Divers ... Notre Dame placed divers in four of the top five scoring positions off the 1-meter board at the league meet. Michael Bulfin (367.60) was second and Caleb

BIG EAST Championships Notre Dame in the BIG EAST Championships After competing for 25 years as an independent, Notre Dame joined the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in 1983-84, beginning a 12-year membership in which the Irish would win six league championships (1986 and 1988-92) and finish as the MCC runner-up four times (1984-85 and 1993-94). Notre Dame joined the BIG EAST Conference prior to the 1995-96 season and has been a member since then. The Irish have registered 12 consecutive top-four finishes in the BIG EAST Championships, including four runner-up results (1999-2000, 2004, 2007). In 2005, Notre Dame registered a meet-record 902.5 points to capture the program’s firstever BIG EAST title. The Fighting Irish defeated Pittsburgh, the eight-time defending conference champions, by 275 points. Notre Dame defended its title in 2006 by registering 809 points to top runner-up Pittsburgh and the rest of the field. The Irish were edged out by West Virginia (765.5-761) in their bid for a third consecutive title in 2007 but bounced back with the crown in 2008 and 2009. Notre Dame has won 31 event titles at the BIG EAST meet, with five of those occurring at the 2005 championships and four more in 2006.Tim Kegelman became the first Irish swimmer to win three BIG EAST titles. Kegelman collected all three titles at the 2005 meet by winning the 100 Fly, 200 IM was part of the champion 400 Medley Relay. Ray Fitzpatrick (who was first in the 200 Free in 2000 after anchoring the champion 400 Free Relay in 1999) was the first Irish student-athlete to win multiple BIG EAST championships. In 2006, Jay Vanden Berg became the second competitor in program history to capture multiple titles in the same meet as he won both the 500 and 1,650 Free events.Vanden Berg also won the 1,650 Free in 2005 and is tied with Kegelman for the program record of three event titles. John Lytle joined the elite company by earning three first-place finishes at the 2009 meet (800 Free Relay, 400 Free Relay, 200 Free). The top three finishers in every event gain all-BIG EAST honors, and over 45 Notre Dame competitors have achieved that status. Lytle leads the Irish with 16 all-conference honors,

The BIG EAST Conference With 30 years under its belt, The BIG EAST Conference continues on a path of success in and out of the athletic arena. The goals have always been the same. The league wants and expects to compete at the highest level and does so with integrity and sportsmanship. The commendable performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are the indicators of the league’s proud tradition of success. The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2009-10 academic year will mark the conference’s fifth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference. In 2008-09, BIG EAST student-athletes again succeeded on the national stage. The Connecticut women’s basketball team won its sixth national championship by defeating conference-foe Louisville in an all-BIG EAST NCAA title game. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team reached the NCAA championship game and the Syracuse field hockey squad advanced to the NCAA Final Four. Three BIG EAST women’s cross country teams finished in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships. West Virginia was fourth followed by Villanova in sixth place and Georgetown in ninth. Individually in women’s sports, Providence’s Dannette Doetzel won the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Connecticut’s Maya Moore was the conference’s sixth winner of the Wade Trophy as the top player in women’s basketball. Notre Dame’s Kerri Hanks won the Hermann Trophy, the top award in women’s soccer. On the men’s side, Connecticut and Villanova advanced to the Final Four in basketball. The 2008-09 campaign was arguably the best men’s basketball season in the history of the BIG EAST with the league setting NCAA standards with three No. 1 tournament seeds, four teams in the round of the Elite Eight and five in the Sweet 16. The St. John’s men’s soccer team reached the NCAA College Cup before losing in the national semifinals. BIG EAST football has maintained its high profile and its reputation as a balanced group. Seven of the league’s eight squads were nationally ranked or received votes in the national polls in 2008. Cincinnati was the league champion. The BIG EAST, a charter member of the Bowl Championship Series, has won three of its last four BCS bowl games. West Virginia, Louisville and Connecticut also have won or shared league crowns over the past four seasons. The BIG EAST has continued to produce studentathletes who were at the forefront of athletic and academic achievement. In 2008-09, 19 BIG EAST players were chosen to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams, including eight first-team selections. Nearly 400 student-athletes have earned academic all-America honors. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida. BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top-34 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one-fourth of all television households in the U.S.

Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 26 national championships in six different sports and 126 student-athletes have won individual national titles. The BIG EAST has enjoyed tremendous basketball success, especially in this decade. In 2008-09, the BIG EAST produced four of the eight Final Four teams in men’s and women’s basketball. It was only the second time in NCAA history that one conference placed that many Final Four teams in the same season. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 11 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken six of the last 10 NCAA titles. Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. In 2009-10, the BIG EAST will add men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which will increase its total to 24 sport championships. The first women’s golf championship was held in the spring of 2003. Women’s lacrosse and rowing were added in 2001. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student
athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably shows a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics. Any successful organization has been fortunate to have outstanding leadership. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Dave Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. For 2009-10, the BIG EAST will undergo one significant change. Tranghese stepped down from his position on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who has served as senior associate commissioner, has moved into the Commissioner’s chair. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student-athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past six years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball. More than 550 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned All-America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been well represented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams. Several athletes earned gold medals in each of the last six summer Olympiads. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 athletes.
Notre Dame BIG EAST Titles Since joining the BIG EAST in 1995-96, Notre Dame has won more conference championships (101) than any other school in the league:

National & International Meets
Tim Kegelman
Bob Ebel
Divers Bob Ebel and Michael Bulfin along with swimmer Tim Kegelman are the only three Notre Dame student-athletes ever to take part in the NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships. Bulfin, from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., became the first member of the Irish program to earn multiple trips to the NCAA Championships when he made his second trip in 2008. Bulfin added another feather to his cap by becoming the program’s first AllAmerican. He notched a pair of points in the final round of the 3-meter competition to secure a top-20 finish at the 2008 NCAAs. Bulfin finished 28th in the 1-meter with a count of 264.25 during the preliminary rounds. He followed that with a stellar 319.55 and a 16th-place finish in the 3-meter event during the prelims to move into the final heat. It was there that he moved up one spot to 15th with a score of 332.40 in the final round of the 3-meter to earn the first points for Notre Dame at the NCAAs in program history. Bulfin also qualified for the NCAAs in 2006. Ebel, a native of St. Louis, Mo., did so in 3-meter diving event as a sophomore in 1975. He qualified with a record-breaking performance in a dual meet against Illinois State on Feb. 22 in the Rockne Memorial Pool. Ebel's score of 302.65 stood as the school record for nearly 15 years. Kegelman competed at the 2005 NCAA Championships after earning his berth with a seasonbest time of 47.66 in the 100 Fly. He also swam in the 200 Individual Medley and the 100 Fly at the national meet. A variety of other Irish swimmers and divers have been close to qualifying, including a very near miss by diver Andy Maggio in 2002. Notre Dame swimmers have taken part in other major national and international meets over the several years. MacKenzie LeBlanc took the gold in the 200-meter butterfly at the Tri Nations Cup meet in Quebec City. The Vernon, B.C., native topped the podium after checking in with a time of 2:00.13. LeBlanc won one of Canada's six gold medals to
open the two-day meet which featured the top prospects expected to challenge for spots on the 2012 Olympic teams for Canada, France and Great Britain. The Tri Nations Cup is a dual meet between Canada, France and Great Britain. Hosted in Quebec City, this inaugural competition showcases Canada's 2012 Olympic potential hopefuls. LeBlanc qualified for the Canadian team as a result of his third-place finish at the Canadian Olympic Trials in Montreal in April 2008. Andrew MacKay’s was the first Irish swimmer to take part in the Olympics, hitting the warter in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. MacKay, the first native of the Cayman Islands ever to qualify for the Olympics in swimming, took part in both the 200- and 400-meter individual medleys and broke his own national records in both events. In the 400-meter event, it took him just 0.59 seconds to get off the starting blocks at the commencement of the race, and that reaction time was the fastest of any non-backstroker (male or female) during the entire Athens Olympics. He moved up from his seeding in both races to finish 33rd in the 400 IM and 41st in the 200-meter version. MacKay also competed in the 2004 World Championships in Indianapolis, Ind., swimming the 100-meter IM. While MacKay is Notre Dame’s first men’s swimming Olympian, various other Irish studentathletes have taken part in high-profile national and international meets. Dan Szilier, a 2000 graduate, was the most accomplished of that group, as he finished ninth in the 200-meter breaststroke in the 1999 World University Games in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Szilier qualified for that team by taking seventh at the 1998 USA Swimming Summer National Championships. In 1997, Szilier was tabbed Rookie of the Meet at the USA Swimming Spring National Championships, ending up third in the 200 breast and eighth in the 100 breast. James Scott-Browne, a distance freestyler who swam for the Irish from 1997-99, also had a taste of international experience. He was a member of USA Swimming’s national junior team, which took part in a variety of meets abroad. Additionally, Scott-Browne participated in the 1997 World Scholar-Athlete Games. The 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials featured three Notre Dame swimmers: Szilier, Jonathan Pierce (1,500 free), and Ryan Verlin (200 fly). Szilier led the Irish contingent by finishing 29th in the 200 breast. Countless other Notre Dame competitors have participated in the USA Swimming senior national meets.

Byron V. Kanaley Award The most prestigious honor awarded to a Notre Dame student-athlete, the Byron V. Kanaley Award has been presented each year since 1927 to the senior monogram athletes who have been most exemplary as both students and leaders. The awards, presented by the Faculty Board on Athletics, are named in honor of a 1904 Notre Dame graduate who was a member of the Irish baseball team as an undergraduate. Kanaley went on to a successful banking career in Chicago and served the University as a lay trustee from 1915 until his death in 1960. Seven members of the Notre Dame men’s swimming and diving team have received the award, including four since 2000.

Former Notre Dame Swimmer Named President At DePauw University … Brian W. Casey, a former member of the Notre Dame men's swimming team and captain in 1985 became the nineteenth president of DePauw University in July 2008. Casey succeeded Robert G. Bottoms, the longest-serving president in DePauw history, who guided the University since 1986. Brian Casey was born and raised in New Jersey. As an undergraduate at Notre Dame, he earned degrees in philosophy and economics, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and graduated summa cum laude. He received the Economics Award for achieving the highest grade point average in that subject. Casey was also captain of Notre Dame's varsity swim team and was the University's “Scholar-Athlete of the Year” in 1985. Casey went on to earn his J.D. from Stanford University Law School in 1988, graduating with honors. He was a member and article editor of the Stanford Law Review. After pursuing a career in law, Casey earned his Ph.D. in the history of American civilization from Harvard University. His field of specialization was the history of American higher education and American intellectual history. Dr. Casey's dissertation examined "Nostalgia and the Campus: Emotion and American Higher Education, 1880-1940." At Harvard, Casey had responsibility for faculty appointments, recruitment and development as well as strategic academic planning across the Faculty of Arts and Sciences as the school’s associate dean for academic affairs in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. As assistant provost at Brown, Casey was charged with academic planning across the arts and sciences.

Rolfs Aquatic Center The Irish swimming and diving teams compete in the state-of-the-art Rolfs Aquatic Center. After 27 years of intercollegiate swimming competition in the Rockne Memorial Pool, the Notre Dame swimming and diving programs entered a new era in 1985, as they moved to the $4.5-million natatorium located in the Joyce Center. Donated by brothers Thomas and Robert Rolf of West Bend, Wis., the Rolfs Aquatic Center provides Notre Dame with a modern, innovative facility on par with any other in the country. Ellerbe Architects and Engineers of Bloomington, Minn., the architects used in the planning of the Joyce Center, also were commissioned to design the 45,000-square-foot
Equipment necessary for the latest training techniques, including a trampoline and underwater viewing decks, are located in the Rolfs Aquatic Center.
Rolfs Aquatic Center is home to Notre Dame’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams. The pool has two moveable bulkheads that allow the Irish the opportunity to train on either a long or short course.

facility which houses a 50-meter Olympic pool (25 yards in width), spectator seating for 400 and support facilities. The facility features a cutting edge video and replay board, two movable bulkheads to allow sections of the pool to be blocked off allowing swimming competition and warm-up swimming to occur simultaneously. The design also allows recreational swimming, water polo, instructional swimming and other aquatic activities. Diving is accommodated with two onemeter boards and two three-meter boards. Support functions housed in the center of the facility just below the spectator seating include men’s and women’s locker rooms, men’s and women’s varsity locker rooms, and men’s and women’s staff locker rooms. Offices for the Notre Dame swimming staff, aquatics directors, and lifeguards are deckside and glassfronted with a view of the pool. Several deckside instructional areas are located around the pool and feature infrared heat lamps, designed to keep wet swimmers warm between events. The pool features a stainless steel racing gutter which is designed to absorb the bow waves of a swimmer, allowing faster swimming times. Another instructional feature is the two underwater windows which allow critiquing of a diver’s or swimmer’s underwater technique. The unique structural system consists of three trusses which span 120 feet, with the roof suspended below the trusses. In addition, the white exterior trusses provide an interesting and ath-
UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®
letic character to the building. The lighting system is designed to be adjusted from maximum brightness for television to nearly dark for dramatic synchronized swimming presentations. The center was officially dedicated on November 13, 1985.

Dennis Stark
Legendary Notre Dame swim coach Dennis Stark (’47) has been selected to receive the Monogram Club's highest honor, the 2010 Moose Krause Distinguished Service Award.The award is given annually to a member of the Notre Dame family who has gone on to accomplish great achievement, which embody the spirit of the Monogram Club and the University. The award presentation will take place in conjunction with this year's Blue-Gold Spring Football Festival (April 16-17, 2010) in Sports Heritage Hall as part of the Monogram Club's Annual Mass, Meeting & Dinner. A 1947 graduate of Notre Dame, Stark was the first head coach of the Irish men's program and guided them from 1958-85. He ended his career with a record of 167137,including an 11-1 mark in 1974-75. Stark, whose student-athletes included
Notre Dame's first-ever NCAA qualifiers and six All-Americans, also headed the women's program from 1981-85, compiling a 31-14 dual-meet record during his tenure. He was the 1984 women's coach of the year in the North Star Conference. In 1985, Stark retired from coaching and moved into an administrative roll as director of Rolfs Aquatic Center. Today, Stark remains heavily involved in the Special Olympics program in the Northern Indiana area. He was the aquatics venue manager for the 1987 International Summer Olympics held in South Bend and was even honored by Special Olympics advocate Eunice Kennedy Shriver for his outstanding work. A native of Detroit, Mich., Stark and his wife, Angelina, have five children, three of which are Notre Dame graduates.

NCAA COMPLIANCE REGULATIONS
Thank you for your tremendous support of our entire athletics program. Our 800+ student-athletes, our coaches and administrative staff are very appreciative of your spirit and affinity for Notre Dame, in particular intercollegiate athletics. With that, your adherence to all applicable NCAA rules and regulations is essential as we strive to maintain and enhance our national athletic prominence while protecting the University’s tradition of integrity and values. Our Compliance Office staff stands prepared to assist you with your
questions and concerns regarding NCAA regulations. Please contact us immediately should you have concern regarding any situation. Your attention to these matters will ensure that the eligibility of both prospective student-athletes (“recruits”) and enrolled student-athletes is protected and maintained. Again, many thanks for your cooperation in this matter and your ongoing support. Go Fighting Irish! The Compliance Staff
WHO IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF NOTRE DAME’S ATHLETICS INTERESTS?
DOs AND DON’Ts FOR REPRESENTATIVES IN REGARDS TO A CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETE:
(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!) You are, if: • you are an enrolled student or graduate of the University.
(The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)
• you have ever participated in or are a member of any organization promoting Notre Dame’s athletics program. (The former Quarterback Club, The 3-Pt. Club, The Fast-Break Club, etc.) • you have ever made financial contributions to the University of Notre Dame athletics department.
DO You may: • contact a current student-athlete regarding employment opportunities; however, no contact may be made without approval from the Compliance Office. • provide a student-athlete, not their family and friends, an occasional (once a semester) meal at your home.
DON’T
• you have ever helped to arrange employment of or provided any benefits to prospective or enrolled student-athletes. • you have ever been a season ticket holder in any sport. • you have ever promoted the athletics programs at the University of Notre Dame. According to NCAA rules, once an individual has been identified as an institutional “representative of athletics interests” the individual retains that title for life. The University of Notre Dame is ultimately responsible for the behavior of all its athletics representatives in relation to NCAA rules and regulations. Violations of NCAA regulations by an athletics representative could result in the loss of eligibility for involved student-athletes (e.g. no participation in competitions) and/ or severe sanctions against the University (e.g. loss of scholarships, television and post-season bans).
CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETE A student-athlete is any Notre Dame student who is a member of a varsity athletics team. NCAA regulations apply to all student-athletes, not just those studentathletes who were recruited or who receive an athletics scholarship. *Note: NCAA regulations concerning enrolled student-athletes remain in effect throughout the entire year (including summer break). If a student-athlete has completed his/her final season of eligibility, all NCAA regulations must be adhered to until he/she graduates or leaves school.
You may not: • provide a currently enrolled student-athlete, their parents or friends any benefit or special arrangement without prior approval from the Compliance Office. • pay for or arrange for payment of room, board or any type of transportation for a student-athlete or their family and friends. • entertain student-athletes or their family and friends. (Exception: NCAA rules do permit institutional staff members and athletics representatives to provide student-athletes (not including their family and friends) with an occasional meal (defined as once a semester) provided the meal is at the staff member’s or athletic representative’s home and not at a restaurant.) • use the name, picture or appearance of an enrolled student-athlete to advertise, recommend or promote sales or use of a commercial product or service of any kind. Any use of a student-athlete’s name, picture or appearance must receive authorization from the Compliance Office. • provide any payment of expense or loan of an automobile for a student-athlete to return home or to any other location. • provide awards or gifts to a student-athlete for any reason. All awards provided to student-athletes must first be approved by the Compliance Office and meet all NCAA regulations. • provide an honorarium to a student-athlete for a speaking engagement. All speaking engagements must be approved in advance by the Compliance Office. • allow a student-athlete, his/her relatives or friends to use your telephone to make free calls.
215

8/18/09 2:45:29 PM
COMPLIANCE CONTINUED • continue established family relationships with friends and neighbors. Contacts with sons and daughters of these families are permitted so long as they are not made for recruiting purposes or encouraged by Notre Dame coaches.
• provide free or reduced cost lodging in your home to a studentathlete or a student-athlete’s family and friends.
PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE A prospective student-athlete is any student who has started classes for the ninth grade. Any student younger than ninth grade who receives any benefits from an institution or athletics representative would also become a prospective student-athlete. In addition, student-athletes enrolled in preparatory school or two-year colleges are considered prospective student-athletes. * Note: An individual is considered a prospect (whether or not they have signed a National Letter-of-Intent) until the first day of initial collegiate enrollment or the first day they report for practice, whichever is earliest. Therefore, all NCAA regulations concerning contact with a prospective student-athlete are applicable until that time.
THE DOs AND DON’Ts FOR REPRESENTATIVES IN REGARDS TO A PROSPECTIVE STUDENTATHLETE: (The following lists of examples are not all-inclusive. As always, ask before you act!)
DO • forward information about prospective student-athletes to the appropriate coaching staff. • have telephone contact with a prospect regarding permissible preenrollment activities such as summer employment, provided the prospect has graduated from high school and signed a National Letter of Intent. • have a telephone conversation with a prospect only if the prospect initiates the call. Such a call may not be prearranged by an institutional staff member and you are not permitted to have a recruiting conversation, but may exhibit normal civility. You must refer any questions about our athletics programs to an athletics department staff member/coach. • view a prospect’s athletic contest at your own initiative provided you do not contact the prospect or his/her parents. In addition, you may not contact a prospect’s coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospect. Jill Bodensteiner, Associate Director of Athletics (574) 631-9647 or jbodenst@nd.edu
DON’T You may not: • write, e-mail or telephone a prospective student-athlete or his/her parents in an effort to recruit them to Notre Dame. • become involved in making arrangements to provide money, financial aid or a benefit of any kind to a prospect or the prospect’s family and friends. • make contact with a prospective student-athlete and his/her parents when the prospect is on-campus for an official or unofficial recruiting visit. • contact a prospect to congratulate him/her on signing a National Letter of Intent to attend the University. • transport, pay or arrange for payment of transportation costs for a prospect and his/her relatives or friends to visit campus (or elsewhere). • pay or arrange for payment of summer camp registration fees for a prospect. • provide ANYTHING to a prospect, the prospect’s family or friends without prior approval from the Compliance Office. The support of our alumni and friends is welcomed and appreciated. We ask, however, that you also help to keep Notre Dame’s tradition of athletics integrity intact by following the NCAA regulations. Your assistance will help ensure that the eligibility of both prospective and currently enrolled student-athletes is protected and preserved. Your efforts to know and follow the NCAA legislation are greatly appreciated because violations could affect the eligibility of involved prospects or student-athletes and/or result in NCAA penalties being imposed on the University. To that end, it should be our goal, as the best alumni and fans in the country, to preserve and protect each and every student-athlete’s eligibility. All NCAA legislation cannot be covered in a limited space such as this program. Therefore, any additional questions should be forwarded to the Compliance Office in the Department of Athletics. Please remember to ask before you act!

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME History •
•
The University of Notre Dame du Lac was founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South Bend, Ind., and nestled next to Saint Mary’s and Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started with $310 in cash and three log buildings in disrepair. Notre Dame would establish many firsts for Catholic institutions of higher learning, including the first Catholic law school, the first Catholic engineering school and the first student residence with private rooms, Sorin Hall.
Students •
Graduate and undergraduate students at the University come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries worldwide.
•
Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton.
•
Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate between the freshman and sophomore years is among the highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program.
•
Academics •
•
•
•
The University is organized into four colleges - Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Mendoza College of Business - the School of Architecture, the Law School, the Graduate School, six major research institutes, more than 40 centers and special programs and the University library system.
Notre Dame is among a select group of schools that ranks in the top 25 on the U.S. News & World Report survey of the nation’s top colleges and in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup for overall success in athletics.
•
Community service is a hallmark of Notre Dame. About 80 percent of Notre Dame students engage in some form of voluntary community service during their years at the University, and at least 10 percent devote a year or more after graduation to service in the United States and around the world.
•
The University’s Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) annually sends 180 recent graduates to teach in some 100 understaffed Catholic schools in the southern, southeastern and southwestern United States and in South Bend. A national model, ACE has received the Higher Education Award from the Corporation for National Service for leadership in using national service resources through AmeriCorps.
Notre Dame has one of the highest undergraduate residential concentrations of any national university, with 80 percent of its students living in 27 residence halls.
Alumni
Notre Dame is rated among the nation’s top 25 institutions of higher learning in surveys conducted by U.S. News and World Report, Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger’s, and Kaplan/Newsweek. Notre Dame ranks fifth in a listing of “dream schools” in a survey of parents by the Princeton Review. The top five are Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, New York University and Notre Dame.
Service
•
