WHY THE “VANDALS”? One of the most unique handles in sports, “Vandals” has been the nickname for University of Idaho athletic teams for more than 80 years. Area sportswriters coined the name as they tried to describe the tenacity with which coach Hec Edmundson’s basketball teams played defense. It first was used in 1918 strictly for the men’s basketball team and officially adopted for all teams in 1921. The sports editor of the school newspaper, Lloyd “Jazz” McCarty, along with the dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Edward Maslin Hulme, made the final push for the nickname to be adopted, both as a tribute to the intensity of the athletic teams and to the Norsemen of old.

IDAHO SWIMMING

University U Un ivver e of Idaho swimming and diving coach Tom Jager calls himself a pretty p pr rettttyy ssimple im im person who doesn’t like to complicate things. His fo His Hi fformula orm r rm for building a swimming and diving team at Idaho from the ground up pw was as ssimple: as iim mp honesty plus respect plus punctionality equals integrity. JJager Ja gge er la llaid aid id tthe foundation with these four values when he went to work to rebuild tthe th he pr p program oggram ram in 2004, which ended the sport’s 19-year dry spell at Idaho. ra JJager’s Ja age ger’ r s nu n number m one goal for his student-athletes is graduation. “Kids “Kid “K Kid ids ds who who sw sswim for me for four years and graduate, they are prepared for challenges in everyday eve very ryda ry day life day da life,” f ,” JJager a said. “If I can do that, I’m successful in what I do. We’re in higher education, educ ed ucat uc attio ati ion, ion, n, I tak take ake ak e tha th that ha seriously. Graduation is more important than winning.” Jager Jage Ja ger iiss a 1987 graduate of UCLA. He said graduating from UCLA was harder than ge winning wi inn nnin ingg an Olympic in Oly lympic gold g medal. Jager would know. By the time he graduated, he had won two tw wo Ol O Olympic ympi ym p c gold pi ld dm medals ed in the 1984 Olympics and 12 NCAA championships, which includes fifive ve ind individual nd ndi divid iv dual ones. Jager Ja agge er ad added dde d d to h his Olympic medal count with two golds and one bronze in the 1988 Olympics Olym ympi pics pi css and and do one ne e ggold o and one bronze at the 1992 Games, to make him one of only two swimmers sw swim wim imme mers rs tto o sw sswim im m iin n three Olympics. He won 11 U.S. national titles, was the captain of the U.S. and U .S. swim sw wiim team tte eam a nd d held the 50-yard freestyle world record for more than 16 years — which includes 10-year incl in clud cl udes ud des es a 1 0 yye 0ear sspan from 1989-2000. Moving the water to the pool deck was a natural career move for Jager. M Mo ving vi ng from fro rom m tth he w wouldn’t what to do with myself if I wasn’t at the pool from 3:30-5:30, it’s all I’ve “I w “I ould ld dn’t know w whole done do one myy wh w olle lillife,” fe e,” he said. hardest adjustment was learning to be accountable for 25 other people as JJager Ja Jage age g r sa said iid d tthe he eh arrd himself opposed to o jjust ustt hi us imse in the pool. Jager said after being selfish in the pool his whole career, the selflessness needed to Ja age g r sa aid da ftter be fte coach balance. coac coac co ach ch is is a ggood ood ba ood oo b ala lan lan Jager’s essness Jage Ja ger’ r’ss se selfl lflfle e s ness work hasn’t gone unnoticed. ss “Tom “ om continues “T con onti tinuess tto o be a tremendous member of our athletic department,” director of athletics athl athl h ettiiccs Ro R Rob ob b Sp Spea Spear earr ssa said. ai “I appreciate his approach to developing the ‘total student-athlete,’ by by maintaining mai aint nta aining ai n an an academic acad ac ad d focus, maximizing their athletic abilities, and communicating the importance impo im p rttan ancce ce o off th thei their eirr ci ccivic vicc responsibilities.” Just Just a ass Ja JJager Jag age ger ex expect expects cts his athletes to succeed in and out of the pool, Jager himself has succeeded ssu ucc ccee eede ded d aw a away ay ffrom rom ro m th the pool deck at the University of Idaho.

Jager, who holds a PhD. in history, joined the Vandal staff as a volunteer assistant when her husband, Tom, was hired to bring the program back after a 20-year hiatus. A graduate of the University of New Mexico (1998), she stopped swimming competitively in high school when she chose to attend college on an academic scholarship. But she didn’t leave swimming. She began a coaching career that includes swimmers of all levels – beginners to Olympic champion and husband Tom. She also teaches history at the University of Idaho.

Harris joined the Idaho staff in the fall of 2010 as a volunteer assistant as he pursues his masters degree in fisheries resources. He is a graduate of the University of Missouri and is a native of Greenville, Ill. At Missouri, he was a four-year letterman and an Olympic Trials qualifier. He not only was a conference finalist multiple times in the Big 12 but he was recognized on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll, Big 12 Academic first team and the Dean’s Honor Roll. He has been coaching since he was 18 (for Stroke Tech in Illinois) and is an avid sailor and sailing coach.

Prior to coaching at Bridgman, he spent three years coaching strength and conditioning in the Toronto Blue Jays organization. He is a graduate of Western Kentucky University where he was a four-year letterman.

Fourth-year assistant coach Quirke is no stranger to the University of Idaho swimming and diving team or head coach Tom Jager. As a girl, she had a poster of the seven-time Olympic medalist, who is now her boss, on her wall. After a one-year stint at San Diego State University, Quirke transferred to Idaho where she was part of his initial recruiting class in 2004. As a Vandal, Quirke set the school 200 IM record and 13 all-time top-10 marks in four events. She won the team’s Vandal Zone Award as a senior, the team’s only award, which is given to the athlete who performs well in the pool, has a positive impact on the team, does well in school and conducts herself well in everyday life. She left a mark on the program as an athlete she hopes to continue as the program’s first fulltime assistant coach. “I believe she epitomized Vandal swimming as an athlete and will continue to do so as a coach,” Jager said. Quirke was hired in 2007, shortly after graduating from Idaho with a bachelor’s degree in sports science.

IDAHO SWIMMING

SWIMMING AND DIVING HISTORY

hen women’s swimming was reinstated at the University of Idaho in 2004, head coach Tom Jager took over a program that hadn’t seen the water for 19 years but wasn’t dry on tradition. The original program, which lasted from 1973-85, set the standard for women’s swimming at the University of Idaho. At least one Vandal competed or qualified to participate at nationals every season during that period — a span that includes 1973, the year Idaho played host to the meet. Nancy Westermeyer Monroe was the first great Idaho swimmer. She came to Idaho in 1972 and practiced with the men’s team and competed in competitions around the Northwest. Monroe, a freestyle and butterfly competitor, was the first Vandal to qualify for the AIAW National Swimming and Diving Championships for four years. Unfortunately, Monroe, and three teammates, were unable to compete in the 1975 championships because of funding issues. Another Nancy soon joined the ranks as an elite Idaho swimmer, if not perhaps the greatest in the school’s history. Nancy Bechtholdt Koch swam for the Vandals from 1979-82. Koch not only qualified for nationals four times, she brought home eight individual national championships and set several national records. She was a 24-time All-American, and was a member of a relay team with Kris Ablin, Linda DeMeyer, Nancy Rand and Kathy Schmahl that earned the school’s first All-American honors when she was a freshman. Bechtholdt was chosen the Idaho Female Athlete of the Year for the 1979 season and still holds two Idaho school records. Her 500-yard freestyle record is six seconds better than the school’s next best. Her 1,650-yard freestyle school record is more than 11 seconds faster than any other Vandal’s effort. And it wasn’t until last season that a Vandal eclipsed her 1000 free record, which had been in place since 1981. From 1981-84, three other swimmers also qualified for nationals four years in a row. Anne Kincheloe (breaststroke), Kate Kemp (freestyle), and Sarah Osborne (backstroke),

HEAD COACH TOM JAGER accomplished the feat. Idaho’s greatest success came from 1981-82, when the careers of these swimmers overlapped Bechtholdt’s junior and senior seasons. The team finished fifth in 1981 at nationals and seventh in 1982. Koch led the way for the school’s highest national team finish by winning the 100- and 200-yard freestyle, placing second in the 500yard freestyle and third in the 1,650yard freestyle. She was on the 800yard freestyle relay team that finished second and the 400-yard medley relay team that finished fourth. Osborne finished 12th in the 50and 200-yard backstroke events. Bechtholdt won her fourth 200yard freestyle title at the 1982

championship. She also won the 1,650-yard freestyle, was fourth in the 100-yard freestyle and placed on three relays. Kincheloe finished fifth in the 50-yard breaststroke, sixth in the 100-yard breaststroke and eighth in the 200-yard breaststroke. The Vandals finished 22nd at nationals in 1985, the team’s last season of the 20th century. Four Vandals earned All-American honors and two set school records at the meet. Charene Mitchell set the 400 individual medley school record and Jennifer Hunkele set the three-meter diving school record, which still stands today. The swimming team returned to competition during the 2004 season. Director of Athletics Rob Spear chose Jager, a five-time Olympic champion, to rebuild the program. His swimmers quickly went to work rewriting the school’s record books as only nine names from the original era can now be found on Idaho’s alltime top-10 list and only Bechtholdt’s records still stand at the top. Idaho moved from the Big West to the Western Athletic Conference in the team’s second season. In 2006, JoJo Miller won the school’s first WAC title in the 100-meter breaststroke. Miller holds the school record in the event and all but one spot on Idaho’s alltime top-10 list for the 200 -meter breaststroke. In 2008, a year ahead of schedule, Idaho completed the program’s resurrection with the addition of a diving program. Idaho was the only team in the Western Athletic Conference without a diving team, which placed the Vandals at a disadvantage in headto-head meets and limited the team’s placing at the WAC championships. In just the third meet of the 2008 season, Amanda Morrow broke Hunkele’s one-meter springboard record – a mark that since has given way to Paige Hunt. With improved facilities, the addition of a diving team and Jager’s Olympic-sized work ethic, the current Vandals have the foundation set in place to match the greatness of former Idaho swimming and diving teams.

Rob Spear assumed the lead of the University of Idaho athh hletic department during a crucial juncture in its storied history. y. y. The Vandals were seeking solidification of their conference e status and their facilities were in need of modernization. Theyy needed a leader with vision and passion. Spear fit the bill. First was securing a home in the Western Athletic Conferrence, a league that preserves historic rivalries and offers the e benefits of a Division I association. Next was rebuilding the e Vandals’ home. He was on hand to oversee the final stagess of the construction of the Iverson Speed and Strength Center. r. Next were the playing surfaces – inside and out. The Vandalss now have a SprinTurf practice facility outdoors and RealGrasss Pro inside the Kibbie Dome. The football, men’s and women’ss basketball, and swimming locker rooms were renovated into o modern, stylish facilities for the student-athletes. Last fall, the athletic training and equipment rooms were renovated classrooms and d and d state-of-the-art f h l d meeting i rooms came on line as part of a multi-million dollar facelift for the Kibbie Dome. Last fall, the first phase of a new-look Kibbie Dome debuted when the plywood on the west end wall was replaced with translucent panels. When the Vandals kickoff in 2011, not only will the east wall match the west but there will be a new club area with suites, loge boxes and a clubroom as well as premium seating and a new press box. Facilities are but one area where Spear has moved the department forward. He added to the support services staff to enhance the student-athlete experience. Computer labs and academic support staff are cornerstones of a successful department and the additions and upgrades in those areas are paying dividends. In the fall of 2007, the Idaho Athletics Hall of Fame was established with 100 individuals and five teams being inducted over a two-year period as part of the inaugural class. His involvement isn’t limited to the Idaho campus. He began a second term with the NCAA’s ‘Legislative Council – one of two top-tier governing bodies in the organization. “I am honored and excited to represent the Western Athletic Conference on this governing board,” Spear said at the time of his appointment. “It is a tremendous opportunity to make an impact on future NCAA legislation to ensure we continue to provide the best possible service to the student-athlete.” Spear’s ties with athletics are life-long. He was a standout high school athlete in his native Butte, Mont., before moviing in ng on to letter four times at the University of Great Falls. Next was a two-year professional basketball career with the Montana wa Golden Nuggets, at the time coached by George Karl. Go He earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Great Falls in 1980 and his MBA from the University of Montan tana in 1983. He accepted a position as an internal auditor with the University of Idaho in 1989. While working at Idaho, he also pur pursued his doctorate in education, which he completed in 1993.

THE A LEGACY OF LEADING

IDAHO SWIMMING

The University of Idaho opened its doors on Oct. 3, 1892, 1 8 when it welcomed about 40 students and one professor, p r John Edwin Ostrander. On June 11, 1896, the university graduated its first cclass la when four students marched across a stage to rreceive e their diplomas. Two years later, the university aw awarded its first graduate degree. By 1899, a growing b o of University of Idaho alumni formed the Idaho body Al Alumni Association. Alumni numbers weren’t all that grew in those early da days. Over the next few years, the University of Idaho eestablished s its College of Agriculture, dedicated Ridenb a baugh Hall and established the Pacific Northwest’s first D Department of Domestic Science (later to be called H Home Economics). The Administration Building fire in 1906 was a turnin ing point in the university’s history. John Tourtellotte, a Boise architect who had designed the state’s capitol,

Among the additions were Forney Hall, the School off Education, Science Hall, Hays Hall, the Music Building, thee Library, the Student Union and outreach campus locations. In 1976 the new ASUI-Kibbie Dome won a national engineering structural achievement award. Its sound structure has withstood roaring cheers of Vandal fans (as well as the groans and wailings of rival teams) ever since. Today, the university is home to nearly 12,000 students and nearly 1,300 faculty and staff. It continues to be a leading place of learning in Idaho and the West, because although it is everresponsive to the changing needs of its students and society, it never forgets its roots and traditions. Perhaps off thi this distinct combination P erhaps no no better better example example o is d istinct com mbinattion of rich history and innovative servic vice is the Associated Students of the U University n of Idaho (ASUI).

THE WESTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE In its 49th year, the Western Athletic Conference continues to evolve and features some of the nation’s best intercollegiate competition. One thing that remains unchanged is the persistent nature of the schools in the WAC to advance their programs to compete at the top levels of the NCAA. The WAC provides its student-athletes the chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain exposure in some of the nation’s most diverse markets. In addition, the WAC’s studentathletes work to achieve the highest levels of success with the academic support of their respective institutions. The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s 11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition.
