Kinney Natatorium features a 50-meter by 25-yard Olympic class pool, which accomodates four varsity programs — men’s and women’s swimming and diving and men’s and women’s water polo — while enhancing the recreational aquatics opportunities for the Bucknell community. The pool itself features two moveable bulkheads, allowing for multiple team practices and recreational swimming to occur. Natatorium amenities include seating for 500 spectators, restrooms, separated varsity and visiting team locker rooms, a poolside classroom, sauna, steam room and concession stands. Already Kinney Natatorium has played host to several major events, most notably the 2005 NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship. The facility, which has been open since 2003, has also served as host of five Patriot League Swimming and Diving Championships, the 2004 Eastern Women’s Water Polo Championship and an exhibition game against the U.S. women’s water polo national team, drawing rave reviews at each. Beginning in the spring of 2005, the Pennsylvania state swimming championships moved to Kinney Natatorium. In the fall of 2010 the CWPA Men’s Water Polo Eastern Championship took place inside the gorgeous facility.

“... THE PURSUIT OF ATHLETICS IN COLNEED NOT INTERFERE WITH A FELLOW’S STUDIES, AND IF YOU GIVE A BOY A WELLDEVELOPED BODY HIS BRAIN WILL GET THE BENEFIT OF IT.”

LEGE

— CHRISTY MATHEWSON, IN HIS BOOK WON IN THE NINTH, WRITTEN IN 1910

The term “student-athlete” signifies something extraordinary on the campus of Bucknell University. Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics. Being a Bison also means that you are a scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athletics, such as time management, leadership, teamwork and grace under pressure, are but a part of a well-rounded college experience. At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics. Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a student-athlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime.

BUCKNELL BISON ATHLETICS SETTING THE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE

Bucknell takes great pride in its commitment to excellence on and off the playing fields. From Presidents’ Cups to Academic All-Americans to graduation rates that are ranked annually in the national top-10, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class when it comes to upholding the scholar-athlete ideal. t

According to federal data released by the NCAA each fall, Bucknell’s student-athlete graduation rate annually ranks in the top 10 among all Division I institutions. Bucknell has led the nation in graduation rates twice, and in the most recent survey in the fall of 2011, Bucknell ranked No. 4 in the nation.

Bucknell has claimed a league-high 127 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year since the league’s inception as an all-sports conference in 1990-91.

A total of 392 Bison appeared on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in 2011-12 after recording a GPA of 3.2 or better during their sport’s competition season. Among all BU student-athletes, 266 made the Dean’s List with GPAs of 3.5 or better in the spring 2012 semester.

In addition to the 121 Capital One Academic All-Americans produced since 1970, Bucknell has also claimed 329 Academic All-District honorees over the same span, including 15 in 2011-12.

Bucknell has earned 91 Patriot League championships in 22 years in the league. In addition, Bucknell has had 113 conference players of the year, 99 PL coaches of the year and a whopping 533 individual league champions from sports such as cross country, track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and golf.

24 of Bucknell’s 27 varsity squads posted team GPAs of 3.0 or better in the spring of 2012.

Bucknell has captured the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, signifying the league’s all-sports champion, 17 times in the 22-year history of the affiliation, including 13 of the last 15 years.

Bucknell ranks FIFTH in the nation (to Nebraska, Notre Dame, Penn State and Stanford) in total number of Capital One Academic All-America selections with 121.

A major element in ensuring Bucknell’s commitment to athletics excellence is the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics & Recreation Center, which opened fully in 2003. One of the finest collegiate athletics facilities of its kind, the center includes the 4,000-seat Sojka Pavilion, the Olympic class Kinney Natatorium, the Krebs Family Fitness Center and the Berger Family Weight Room. A Hall of Fame area, a display of Bucknell’s Medal of Honor recipients, a new Academic All-America wall, a sports medicine suite, modern offices for coaches and staff, and locker room and classroom space are also included in the facility’s layout.

BUCKNELL BISON ATHLETICS

A NATIONAL MODEL IN PROMOTING THE SCHOLAR-ATHLETE IDEAL Bucknell Athletics is first and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national leader when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place. FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Bucknell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which affords them opportunities to enjoy the full range of collegiate experiences available to students generally. SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff, including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is introduced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena. ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfitted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice. LAPTOP PROGRAM: The Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips. STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for promoting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and efforts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body. BUCKNELL BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY: In 2011-12, the Department of Athletics launched the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. As part of a Patriot League-wide leadership initiative, this program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. The Leadership Academy features programming and instruction that bridge theory, development and real experiences in an interactive learning environment. Through this endeavor, team leaders can enhance their impact on their teammates’ and their program’s performance immediately and for years to come.

Bucknell Athletics Mission Statement The Department of Athle cs and Recrea on strives to set the standard of excellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher educa on, thereby advancing and drawing a en on to the mission, core values, and educa onal goals of Bucknell University. The Department believes that student-athletes’ academic programs must be their first priority. It is therefore commi ed to maintaining Bucknell’s high na onal ranking for student-athletes’ gradua on rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to con nued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nomina ons, based on grade-point averages. The coaches’ and staff ’s paramount responsibility is maintaining academic priori es and suppor ng student-athletes’ educa on, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athle c opportuni es Bucknell student-athletes seek. Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, development, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebra ng challenge and compe on; and by preparing par cipants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athle c programs and recrea onal opportuni es aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirit. In crea ng shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff, as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substan ally to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long rela onships with Bucknell. The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramural level, in Division I of the Na onal Collegiate Athle c Associa on (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of compe on maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps posi on Bucknell apart from other Na onal Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the compe ve success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent conten on for the Patriot League’s Presidents’ Cup student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings dis nc on and na onal recogni on to Bucknell. A student-centered opera on, the Department is commi ed to providing equitable opportuni es to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. The Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regula ons of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athle c Conference, and the NCAA. The department is proud that so many of today’s exemplary Bison scholar-athletes will be tomorrow’s outstanding leaders.

2012 Season Preview It is year two of the John McBride era at Bucknell and the Bison’s intense head coach con nues to expect a win in every game. While the former SWAT oﬃcer knows an undefeated season is not likely, he s ll pushes his team to strive for perfec on. This is best shown by his response when asked if a 5-2 record over the season’s final seven games in 2011 will help propel the squad to more success in 2012. He responded, “We look at it as a lack of success. While most teams would be happy going 5-2, we were disappointed. We had a good season, but it wasn’t good enough. Every season we don’t win an Eastern Championship is a disappointment, especially with the eﬀort we put forth.” Bucknell posted a solid 15-10 record last fall against a schedule that was li ered with 11 na onally ranked foes. The Bison finished fi h at the Eastern Championship, their eighth consecu ve top-five finish at the year-ending event, and registered their fi h above-.500 record in the last six years. Five seniors have departed the team since last year, but only one was a regular starter, meaning McBride has high hopes for this year’s edi on. Senior captains Brian Barron and Ma Napleton have the highest expecta ons placed on them by McBride. “Both Brian and Ma understand that this is it and in three-and-onehalf months it is all going to be over,” commented McBride about the only two members of the senior class. “We expect them to lead us to a championship this year. They have shown they care and have go en their teammates on board. They not only do it with their mouth, but they do it with their ac ons in the pool. They can hold others accountable because they are working hard. They are being leaders in the pool without having to open their mouths.” Barron’s 81 games played and 51 starts in his career are both by far the most among current Bison. He was second on the team in scoring with a career-high 44 goals last year, bringing his career figure to within six of the century mark. A CWPA Southern Division First Team selec on and a member of the All-Eastern Championship Second Team, Barron tallied at least one point in each of his 21 games played in 2011. Napleton took over the star ng goalie posi on for the first me last year and excelled. He notched a career-high 229 saves in nearly 750 minutes of playing me. A five- me CWPA Southern Division Defensive Player of the Week, Napleton joined Barron on the conference’s All-Southern Division First Team at the conclusion of the campaign. “Ma is playing with more confidence this year,” stated McBride. “He knows what my expecta ons are of him as a goalie. Un l last year, I don’t think Alex Nowlin he ever felt the kind of pressue I put on a goalie and he now accepts that. In my opinion the goalie is more than 50 percent of the team’s success.” While Barron and Napleton will lead the Bison, a large and talented sevenperson junior class may very well decide the ul mate success of the team. “We are fortunate we started out so young last year and all the current juniors received so much playing me,” men oned McBride. “They have a year in my system and know where I am coming from. The next two years with that class are going to be really good and as we con nue to bring in strong recrui ng classes, we expect to be stacked each year. It will be a revolving door.” Alex Nowlin made one of the biggest splashes among the current juniors last year when he led the team in scoring with 88 points. His team-high 62 assists ed for 10th on the program’s

single-season list as he became the first Bison to join that ledger in more than a decade. “Obviously, passing is crucial to being a good teammate, but I would like to see Alex take some more opportuni es to shoot the ball,” said McBride, who also coaches the Bison women’s water polo team. “He was more of a pass first, shoot second player and it has to be the other way.” While Nowlin led the team in points, one half of a talented center combina on paced the squad in goals as Jack Else notched 49 goals a year ago, more than doubling his freshman-year total of 21. The only member of the Bison to start every game and a CWPA Southern Division Second Team pick, Else split me at center with classmate Mike Kimble. Kimble registered 24 goals and drew at least one ejec on in 21 of 25 ou ngs. “We actually have four centers this year,” said a smiling McBride. “In addi on to Jack and Mike we have freshmen Andrew Roberts and Jedd Thayer. Our whole offense revolves around our centers. We will keep rotating centers in and keeping them fresh. The other teams may only have one or two center defenders and they are going to get red.” Bucknell has a very solid center defender who is also a junior, but who was not with the team last year. Uros Markovic played in a handful of games as a freshman in 2010, but decided not to play last year. He returned during the preseason and has impressed McBride. “Uros came back this year and I think he will be our star ng center defender,” remarked McBride. “He said last year that it was too hard, but this year he came in with a different understanding and has accepted it.” Another junior, Andrew Somers, will also see me at center defender along with Markovic. Somers is a veteran of 25 career games, including 21 last year. He has five goals, six assists and 10 steals during his Bison tenure. Junior Julian Colina will add some firepower on the offensive end of the pool. He had a breakout year in 2011 and ranked third on the squad with a career-high 35 goals. He also dished out 24 assists, giving him 59 points, the third-highest total on the team. “Julian is Julian. We just plug him into the right posi on and he is produc ve,” praised McBride. “With (freshman) Stefan (Aleksic) here we might have to adjust his posi on in six-on-five situa ons and that might affect his goal produc on a li le bit, but we will have a nice one-two punch at the top with him and Stefan.” The final member of the junior class is Stephen Norton. McBride envisions him, as well as his sophomore brother, Greg, con nuing to fill a reserve role. Sophomore Ken Wa ana and classmate Keegan Williams, a backup goalie, will also con nue to come off the bench and provide valuable minutes. McBride has seen plenty of promise in his six-person freshman class early in preseason prac ce. In addi on to Aleksic, Roberts and Thayer, Nick Hale, Max McKelvy and Max Wilder have joined the squad as first-year players. There is a significant rule change in 2012 that will impact some of McBride’s philosophy. Last year he focused on developing a great counter a ack, but the length of the pool has been shortended from 30 meters to 25 meters, meaning the counter a ack will not be as large a part of the game. McBride has shi ed the focus to the frontcourt offense to combat the lost five meters. “Teams that may have been a li le slower than us will now be equal to us,” predicted McBride when discussing the shorter playing area. “We are not swimming in prac ce as much because of it.”

The strength & condi oning program at Bucknell received a major boost in 2003 with the comple on of the sparkling 15,000-square-foot Krebs Family Fitness Center and Berger Family Weight Room, as well as the hiring of Jerry Shreck as the first full- me strength & condi oning coordinator. A 1996 graduate of East Stroudsburg University with a degree in movement studies and exercise science, Shreck is charged with detailed daily strength and condi oning rou nes for each of Bucknell’s athle c programs.

n e l l B i s o n! The Collegiate Water Polo Associa on announced that former Bucknell men’s water polo and swimming coach Dick Russell, along with Richard Hunkler of Slippery Rock, would compose the ini al class inducted into the CWPA Hall of Fame in 2002. Both Russell and Hunkler laid the founda on for the organiza on that exists today and were instrumental in its development for almost 20 years. Russell served Bucknell as an associate professor of physical educa on and developed a local swim class program. It was there he founded a water polo club in 1968, which con nued un l 1977, when the team achieved varsity status. Between 1977 and 1986, Russell’s water polo teams tallied an amazing record of 223-68-4. This consistent success made Russell the first coach in Bucknell history to record more than 100 victories in two sports, swimming and water polo. Under Russell the water polo teams won four Eastern Championships and competed in the NCAA Championship five mes. He was named Eastern Water Polo Coach of the Year in 1985. Although it seemed minor at the me, one of his biggest achievements has had a tremendous impact on the sport throughout the country. Russell was the founder of the Mid-Atlan c Conference, now known as the Collegiate Water Polo Associa on. Originally including only a few teams, his pioneer work in establishing this league laid the founda on for the na onwide conference that boasts over 220 teams today. In 1968, Russell began his tenure at Bucknell as head swim coach and served in that capacity un l his re rement in 1994. While at the helm, he led the men’s swim program to a 154-121 record in dual meets, along with 11 conference championships. He was also named a Master Coach by the Collegiate Swimming Coaches Associa on in 1978. Russell began his coaching career at Upper Arlington High School in Columbus, Ohio, amassing an 85-14 dual meet record before being named head swimming and golf coach, as well as a football assistant at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. While at Kenyon, Coach Russell won 33 of 52 dual meets and four Ohio Athle c Conference Championships in his years as coach. Russell was inducted into the Bucknell University Athle cs Hall of Fame in 1997 and was presented with a plaque commemorating his contributions to the Bison water polo and swimming programs in January 2007. Russell passed away in April of 2008 at the age of 75. In the summer of 2009, it was announced that Dan ’78 and Chris (Peterjohn ’76) Richards had pledged $1.5 million to the Bucknell men’s and women’s water polo programs in honor of Dick Russell.

The Collegiate Th Collllegiat i te Water W t Polo P lo Associa Pol Asso A cia i on originally origi i inalllly began began as the the Mid Mid Atlan Atlan c C Conference, onfference founded by Dick Russell (Bucknell University swimming & water polo coach) in the 1970’s. Its founding membership included teams from Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. The leadership and management of the organiza on relied on volunteer coaches un l 1990, when it hired a commissioner to perform basic scheduling for the 15 member teams. Officia ng assignments at the me were performed by an independent organiza on called the Eastern Water Polo Referees Associa on. The next major milepost occurred in 1993, when the Southern and New England Conferences merged into the Mid Atlan c. The new structure combined all of the varsity teams in the East, along with the few sport clubs in existence at that me. During the 1995 season, the conference received its first major challenge, as the organiza on experienced a strike by its officia ng corps. This strike ul mately resulted in the organiza on establishing its own officia ng bureau, assuming responsibility for all of its officia ng assignments. The conference hired Tere Ma as its inaugural Director of Officials and Loren Bertocci as its first Technical Director. These two individuals laid the groundwork for the Officia ng Bureau that exists today. Today the CWPA is the largest water polo conference in the country with teams in 75% of the states na onwide. Including both intercollegiate varsity compe on and club compe on, it stands as the only conference of this type. Due to its breadth and influence, the conference plays a pivotal role in the sport of water polo today, which will only increase in the future as it con nues to grow.

MATCHING GIFT CHALLENGE Dan ‘78 and Chris (Peterjohn ‘76) Richards have created a matching challenge program for friends, fans and alumni of Bucknell water polo and swimming and diving to help increase long-term support for these varsity sports and honor former Bison coach Dick Russell.

BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY RECEIVES MAJOR DONATION FROM DAN AND CHRIS RICHARDS TO BOLSTER MEN’S AND WOMEN’S WATER POLO PROGRAMS The men’s and women’s water polo programs at Bucknell University will be greatly bolstered thanks to a $1.5 million commitment made by Dan ‘78 and Chris (Peterjohn ‘76) Richards in the summer of 2009. The pledge was made in honor of Coach Dick Russell, who was at the helm of the swimming and diving programs from 1968 to 1994 and created the water polo program at Bucknell, coaching the men’s team from its incep on as a varsity sport in 1977 un l 1986. Mr. and Mrs. Richards were swimmers under Coach Russell during their years at Bucknell. As the Richards’ mul -year pledge is paid, an endowment will be built that generates funds to enhance Bucknell’s men’s and women’s varsity water polo programs by increasing and stabilizing the resources available for the coaches, staﬀ and student-athletes. The Russell Endowment will provide a las ng memorial honoring the life me contribu ons of the late Hall of Fame mentor to Bucknell’s varsity water polo and swimming and diving programs. It will complement a similar endowment established for the swimming and diving programs in 2002 by William D. Dearstyne ‘62 to honor former coach and director of athle cs Bob Latour, and further underscores the successful tradi on of the varsity aqua cs programs at Bucknell.

THE PLAN FOR BUCKNELL Bucknell is a unique na onal university where liberal arts and professional programs complement each other, where 3,500 full- me students are educated for a life me of cri cal thinking and strong leadership. For 160 years, the University has remained true to its fundamental purpose: to educate and prepare students for lives that make a diﬀerence and have a posi ve impact on the world. In keeping with that purpose, the University has developed The Plan for Bucknell, which includes its collec ve vision — “To provide students with the premier undergraduate experience in American higher educa on.” The Plan comprises five strategies. Strengthen the Academic Core aims to ensure that a Bucknell educaon is challenging and engaging, with openness to new ideas and a culture of innova on; Deepen the Residen al Learning Experience will provide a residen al learning and living experience that complements the academic program, integrates the athle cs and recrea on program and promotes personal growth and development and civic and ethical responsibility; Enhance Diversity is a commitment to diversity in all its forms within a civil and suppor ve environment of open exchange to prepare Bucknell graduates to live and work in a globally integrated and intercultural world; Build Bridges will bring the world to Bucknell — through visi ng scholars and sports teams, interna onal students and alumni, guest speakers, interna onal focus semesters, and electronic communica ons — and bring Bucknell to the world through strategic partnerships and community engagement ac vi es as well as opportuni es for oﬀ-campus study and faculty research; Secure Our Financial Future will secure resources necessary to engage new opportuni es, lessen dependence on tui on, and ensure our financial future. The Plan for Bucknell was unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees on April 29, 2006, having previously been approved by the students and faculty. We have begun implemen ng it and are determined to make it a reality over the next decade.
