Coaching Staff JOHN YOUNG Head Coach Eighth Season | Williams ‘97
The 2013 CCSA Men’s Coach of the Year, John Young’s Wildcat teams have found much success in his seven years at the helm of the swimming & diving programs. During his tenure, the Wildcats have experienced tremendous success, highlighted by Lindsay Martin ‘11 and Drew Onken ’12 becoming the first Davidson swimmers to compete at the NCAA Division I Swimming & Diving Championships in 2010 and 2012, and four team Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA) championships — three for the men (2010, 2011 and 2013) and one for the women (2008). The Wildcat men took home their third CCSA Championship in 2013, with Onken earning Most Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet and Men’s Swimmer of the Year honors for the third consecutive season after taking home a trio of individual titles as well as swimming on three champion relays. Most impressively, Onken took home gold in the 400 IM, finishing his career undefeated at the championship meet in that event. He would also win Davidson’s prestigious Tommy Peters Award as the top senior male athlete. In addition to Onken, Dylan Ludwick claimed a pair of CCSA titles while Will Fox earned one as well. The Wildcats also picked up a trio of relay titles as the 400-yard medley relay, 800-medley relay and 400-yard freestyle relay all took home top honors. The women’s squad posted 20 performances that ended up on the all-time top-10 lists, including a program record in the 200-yard butterfly by Meredith Nakano and a tie of the program record in the 800-yard free relay. In 2012, Onken qualified for three events at the NCAA Championships as a junior, also earning the CCSA’s Most Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet and Men’s Swimmer of the Year honors after helping the Wildcat men to a runner-up finish at the CCSA Championships. Also collecting hardware was Dylan Ludwick, who earned Most Outstanding Freshman accolades for his success in the distance events. Following the conclusion of the season, Onken was named a Mid-Major All-American by Collegswimming.com, while teammates Geoff Peitz and Curtis Chaney earned honorable mention honors. In addition to their outstanding work in the pool, the Wildcats also excelled in the classroom as well. Both

the men’s and women’s squads were honored by the College Swim Coaches Association of America, while Onken and Peitz earned All-American honors from the association. In addition, Peitz earned Academic All-District honors. Young led the Wildcat men's swimming and diving team to its first ever conference championship in 2010, and they repeated as CCSA champions the following season. He was named CCSA Men's Swimming Coach of the Year after both championships. During his tenure, the Wildcat men have completely rewritten the record book, with only three diving records remaining from the previous era. Overseeing the teams’ move to the CCSA to begin the 2007-08 season, Young led the women’s team to the inaugural championship. He was named CCSA Women's Coach of the Year and coached 14 athletes to All-CCSA performances, including five individual event winners. Under Young's leadership, the Wildcat women have also rewritten the record book, with all but five event records set by his athletes. The 2011 season brought great success to the Wildcat swimming and diving program, including a second straight CCSA championship for the men, who finished the season ranked 24th in the CollegeSwimming.com Mid-Major Poll. With three individual titles and three relay titles, Peitz was named 2011 CCSA Swimmer of the Meet at the league championships, while Drew shared CCSA Swimmer of the Year behind four CCSA Swimmer of the Week honors. Peitz was also named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District team for his success in the classroom. After becoming the first swimmer in Davidson history to compete at the NCAA Championships in 2010, Martin -who was also named CCSA Swimmer of the Year and Meet at the 2011 league championships, made her second straight appearance the following season and was named to the CollegeSwimming.com Mid-Major All-America Tea for a second straight season. Teammates Emily Castle, Curtis Chaney and Peitz earned Honorable Mention.
DAVIDSON WILDCATS
XXXX In 2010, Young led the Wildcat men to their first league championship, earning CCSA Coach of the Year honors. Ben Lane earned Most Outstanding Male Diver for a second straight season, while Martin was named Women's Most Outstanding Swimmer after sweeping the 50, 100 and 200 freestyles. Martin, who set a pair of school records at the 2010 NCAA Championships, was named to the 2010 Mid-Major All-America Team by collegeswimming.com, while 2010 CCSA Most Promising Freshman Onken earned Honorable Mention honors for winning the 400 IM with an NCAA B-cut time at the league championships. The teams continue to experience success in the new league, as both finished second at the 2009 CCSA Championships and took home several individual honors. Ben Lane was named Most Outstanding Male Diver after winning both the 1 and 3-meter events, and Curtis Chaney was named Most Outstanding Freshman Male Performer for being a three-time individual champion. In his first two seasons with the Wildcats, Young coached 10 All-CAA performers. The Wildcats also continue to excel in the classroom, with the teams consistently honored by the College Swim Coaches Association of America for academic excellence. Martin, Anna Stringfield '11 and Jean DeOrnellas '13 have all been named Honorable Mention Scholar All-Americans as well. Prior to joining the Davidson staff, Young spent three years as an assistant swimming coach at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, helping to guide the Lords and Ladies to four NCAA Division III team championships. “John has a keen understanding of a highly competitive academic and athletic environment,” Director of Athletics Jim Murphy said. “His background and experience make him a great fit for Davidson.” During his tenure at Kenyon, Young coached national champions in 23 individual and 20 relay events, including Division III record-setters in four individual and two relay events, and two Olympians. Young was also responsible for the team’s strength and power program as well as recruiting. A 1997 graduate of Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., Young collected four NCAA Division III national championships as a student-athlete and was named NECAC Division III Male Athlete of the Year as a senior. The team captain and two-time Division III New England Conference Swimmer of the Year also earned All-America honors 16 times and Honorable Mention All-America recognition 10 times. Young’s impressive collegiate career also included seven NEC event records, eight Williams College records and 22 NEC titles.
Before becoming a coach, Young worked as a consultant with a market research firm in Quincy, Mass., where he interacted with clients, managed the firm’s technology infrastructure, and hired and trained new analysts, giving him a skill set unique among many coaches. Young has also served as a coach at Total Performance Elite Training Camps in New York, Ohio and Wisconsin, as well as the Technique Swimming Camp at Harvard University. He is a member of the American Swim Coaches Association and the College Swim Coaches Association of America.

Amy Krakauer begins her fourth season as an assistant coach for the Davidson swimming & diving team in the 2013-14 season. Krakauer’s previous experience, both as a collegiate swimmer herself at Columbia and as an assistant coach at Colgate, helped the Wildcats tremendously throughout her previous three seasons. In 2012-13, then-sophomore Meredith Nakano set a new program record in the 200-yard butterfly as one of 20 performances by the Wildcat women that ended up on the program’s all-time top-10 list. Led by Drew Onken, who set a new program record in the 100-yard breaststroke, the men’s squad posted 29 all-time top-10 performances in the 2012-13 on their way to the 2013 CCSA Championship. Krakauer assisted in Onken’s development as he earned three consecutive CCSA Swimmer of the Year honors. In 2011-12, Krakauer aided Onken in qualifying for a trio of events at the NCAA Championship as well as the 2012 U.S. Olympic team trials, where he swam alongside teammate Geoff Peitz. Dylan Ludwick earned CCSA Freshman Swimmer of the Year accolades, while both the men’s and women’s team were honored as CSCAA All-Academic teams. During her first season with the Wildcats, Krakauer helped coach Davidson to a 2011 CCSA men's championship and 14 individual and seven relay records at the league championships. “Amy's experiences, both as a student-athlete and as a professional, make her a unique and impressive fit for our program," head coach John Young said. In her two seasons with the Raiders, the middle distance team achieved 231 personal best times, 27 school records, 22 Patriot League records, 15 NCAA B-cut times and the women’s team won the 2009 Patriot League Championship. Krakauer also coached Emily Murphy, who became Colgate’s first female NCAA championship competitor, in the 200 IM and the 100 and 200
breaststrokes. “Coach Krakauer is familiar with the perspective necessary to be successful in a rigorous academic setting,” Young said. “As our student-athletes aspire to evergreater successes, I am confident that Amy will be a tremendous resource and mentor.” Krakauer’s coaching experience also includes stints at Nike Swimming Camps in 2006 and 2007 and as the head coach of the Columbia Masters Swimming program from 2005-08, while she was also a four-year member of the Columbia women’s swimming and diving team. Krakauer was a four-year letter winner for the Columbia Lions, earning First-Team All-Ivy honors in 2008, as a member of the winning 200 medley relay and runner-up 400 medley relay, and the runner-up in the 100 breast with an NCAA B-cut time at the Ivy League championships. She also earned Academic All-America Honorable Mention honors in 2008 and Academic All-Ivy honors in 2006, 2007 and 2008. The former team captain was also an NCAA Sportsmanship Award Ivy League nominee in 2006 and the Coaches Award winner in both 2005 and 2006. Krakauer earned her B.A. in Economics and German from Columbia in May of 2008, where she was an eightsemester honoree on the Dean’s List. She is a native of Colorado Springs, Colo. She won her age group at the Ironman Lousiville 2010 to earn a qualifying slot in the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii, where she finished ninth in her age group.

COACHING STAFF JOSH GRAHAM Assistant Coach Second Season | Penn State ‘09
Josh Graham joined the staff of the Davidson swimming & diving programs in the summer of 2012 and immediately made an impact for the Wildcats. In his first season assisted with the development of the team, Graham saw the men’s squad win the 2013 CCSA Championship, headlined by CCSA Male Swimmer of the Year Drew Onken. Dylan Ludwick and Will Fox took home titles in addition to Onken, as did a trio of Davidson relays. On the women’s side, Meredith Nakano set a new program mark as the squad posted 20 swims that made it to Davidson’s all-time top-10 list. The team swam to a seventh place finish at the CCSA meet, with numerous impressive performances. Prior to coming to Davidson, Graham served as the lead senior coach at South Eastern Virginia Aquatics (SEVA) in Newport News, Va. At SEVA, Graham worked primarily with swimmers transitioning to the Senior Level. In 2013, his 13 & 14 boys’ squad broke Virginia’s 20-yearold state records in the 200, 400 and 800 freestyle relays for both long and short course. The relays ranked among the top-8 in the nation and earned Graham a position as a Zone Select Team coach with Virginia Swimming. Graham earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminology in 2009 from Penn State, where he was a consistent contributor to the Nittany Lions’ success at the Big Ten Championship Meet at four years. He is a former Virginia state record holder in the 200-yard freestyle – a mark that was later broken by his good friend & teammate, American record holder David Walters. A certified ASCA level-3 coach, Graham hails from Newport News, Va., and started his swimming career at age five.

DAVIDSON WILDCATS
2012-13 iN REViEW gRAhAM JOiNS SWiMMiNg & DiViNg STAFF Davidson College head swimming coach John Young announced the addition of Josh Graham as the newest member of the Wildcats’ coaching staff on Friday. Graham comes to Davidson after serving as the Lead Senior Coach for South Eastern Virginia Aquatics (SEVA) in Newport News, Va. At SEVA, Josh worked primarily with swimmers transitioning to the Senior Level. In 2012, his 13 and 14 boys’ squad broke Virginia State’s 20-year-old records in the Long Course and Short Course 200-, 400-, and 800-yard freestyle relays. Those relays ranked among the nation’s top eight and earned Graham a position as a Zone Select Team Coach with Virginia Swimming. Under Graham’s direction, SEVA athletes saw great improvements, which he attributes to a greater understanding of the discipline and commitment that is necessary to achieve high level of swimming success. According to Graham, one of his best accomplishments was helping his athlete develop in incredible sense of respect for the sport. Graham earned a Bachelor’s degree in in criminology in 2009 from Penn State University, where he was a proud member of the varsity swimming team and contributed to Penn State’s success by scoring at the BigTen Championship during each of his four years. Graham is the former Virginia State record holder in the 200yard freestyle – a record that was broken by his former teammate and good friend American record holder David Walters. A certified ASCA level-3 coach, Graham grew up in Newport News, Va., and started his swimming career at age five. Coach Graham will take a lead role in recruiting for the men’s team and will be involved in the preparation of every swimmer as Davidson’s men and women prepare for the CCSA Championship in February.

NCAA ChAMPiONShiPS 2011 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS Martin Invited to Second Straight NCAA Championship Meet DAVIDSON, N.C. — For a second straight season, senior Lindsey Martin will represent the Davidson swimming and diving team as competition opens at the 2011 NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships tomorrow at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center on the campus of the University of Texas. Martin was invited to the 2011 Championships based on her relay split (100 freestyle) time of 48.95 — also a conference and school record — in the 400 freestyle relay at the league championships, where she was also named CCSA Women’s Swimmer of the Meet for a second straight season. She was a part of two winning relays and won individual titles in both the 50 and 100 freestyles at the 2011 CCSA Championships. She also swam three individual NCAA B-cut times — the 50, 100 and 200 freestyles, and contributed to an NCAA B-cut time in the 400 free relay. Martin also earned 2010 CCSA Women’s Swimmer of the Year honors after being named CCSA Women’s Swimmer of the Week five times.

Onken qualified with his time of 3:47.38 in the 400 IM, which earned him a first-place finish in the CCSA Championships and broke the conference record. The junior also had NCAA B-cut times in the 200 IM (1:46.69, CCSA record) and 200 breaststroke (1:59.65) and will swim all three events in the NCAAs.
Onken Narrowly Misses 400 IM Finals Davidson swimmer Drew Onken finished 19th in the 400 IM and just missed out on making the finals in the event last night. He posted a time of 3:49.65, and a time of 3:48.26 would have put him in the top 16 and in the finals.
Onken Sets New School and CCSA Record in 200 Breast at NCAAs
Onken Finishes 47th in the 200 IM at the NCAA Championships Davidson swimmer Drew Onken swam the 200 IM in 1:48.04, the junior's second-fastest time, to place 47th at the NCAA Men's Swimming and Diving Championships Thursday morning. Onken continues the meet tomorrow with the 400 IM.
Drew Onken set a new school and CCSA record in the 200 breast Saturday in his final event at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships. The junior's time of 1:59.01 earned him 28th place at the competition. The previous CCSA record in the 200 breaststroke was set by Randy Buchanan from the College of Charleston in 2009. Onken, who was named CCSA swimmer of the meet and CCSA swimmer of the year at the 2012 CCSA Conference Championship, has left a mark on the conference record book. During the 2011-2012 season, he was recognized as CCSA swimmer of the week three times for his performances. He now holds three individual conference records (200 breast, 200 individual medley, and 400 individual medley) and is on four relays that also hold the conference record. Onken is the first male swimmer from Davidson to qualify for the NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships, and also competed this weekend in the 200 and 400 individual medley. His highest placing performance this weekend was a 19th place finish in the 400 Individual Medley. Onken continues to represent Davidson on the national level and will travel this June to Omaha, Neb., for the US Olympic Trials.

ATHLETICS ADMiNiSTRATiON CAROL QuillEN PRESIDENT
JIM MuRPhY DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Jim Murphy was introduced as Davidson College’s Director of Athletics in November of 1995, returning to his alma mater to lead the Wildcats on the eve of their 100th anniversary of intercollegiate athletics and into the next century. Prior to his appointment at Davidson, Murphy, 53, spent 10 years as executive associate athletic director and chief financial officer for the Georgia Tech Athletic Association. Murphy, an Atlanta native, played football and baseball during his freshman year at Davidson. His experience has been invaluable as he guides a program which is unique in its desire for excellence in both athletics and academics and has one of the smallest enrollments among NCAA Division I schools. Reflecting his support of academics, Davidson’s NCAA graduation rate of 91 percent was the highest in Division I in 2001-02, second in 2002-03 with a rate of 97 percent and continues to be above 90 percent each year. “I firmly believe Davidson represents the ideal in college athletics and think the success of Davidson’s students, both in competition and after graduation proves that,” said Murphy. “It’s true that Davidson needs intercollegiate athletics, but intercollegiate athletics need Davidson even more.” Since Murphy’s return to Davidson, the Wildcats have pursued several major capital projects, including the creation of the highly-innovative $10 million Davidson Scholars Program, and major improvements have been completed in Belk Arena and at Smith Field at Richardson Stadium. The last five years have seen the construction of the Belk Artificial Surface Field for field hockey, the new Alumni Stadium for soccer, Wilson Baseball Park and batting cages and the football stadium expansion project, which included a state-of-the-art weight room, a new press box and additional permanent seating. Murphy, the 2004 NACDA Division I-AA/I-AAA Southeast Region Athletic Director of the Year, served two terms on the prestigious NCAA Division I Management Council, a policy-making body within the NCAA governance structure. He chaired the Division I-AA Governance Committee and formerly served on the NCAA Division I Business and Finance Cabinet, the Division I Governance Committee and the Division I Finance Committee. From 200204, Murphy chaired the Athletic Directors Association of the Southern Conference. He was part of Charlotte’s successful bid to host the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championships in 1999 and 2000 and also served as Tournament Director of the first and second-round games of the 2005 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in Charlotte. Murphy is a past member of the Division I Football Issues Committee and Past-President of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletic Directors Association. He was also a member of the NCAA Task Force on Recruiting, an 18-member panel charged with changing the culture of recruiting in intercollegiate athletics, and currently serves on the NCAA’s Fiscal Responsibility Oversight Group. A licensed Certified Public Accountant and 1978 graduate of Davidson with a degree in economics, he earned a Master of Science degree in management from Georgia Tech in 1979. He worked from 1979-85 as an audit manager with the international public accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick in Atlanta with responsibility for financial statement audits of public and private companies with up to $1 billion in assets. Murphy has been active in the community since his return to Davidson. He is involved with Social Venture Partners - Charlotte, chairs the Board of Managers of the Lake Norman YMCA, the Board of Directors of the Charlotte Regional Sports Commission, served three years on the Board of the Charlotte Council for Children and three years on the Board of Directors of the Town of Davidson Youth Baseball League. Murphy is married to Dr. Susan Roberts, a political science professor at Davidson, and his son, Matt, is a graduate of the University of North Carolina and works in advertising in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Carol Quillen, who was previously the vice president for international and interdisciplinary initiatives at Rice University, became the 18th president of Davidson College on August 1, 2011. Quillen has had a long and distinguished career at Rice. She joined the faculty as an assistant professor of history in 1990, and she earned promotion to associate professor in 1996. From 2004 to 2008, she served as the first director of Rice's Boniuk Center for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance, leading development of the center's new mission and shaping an agenda that helped distinguish the center from other organizations. From 2006 to 2010, Quillen served as Rice's vice provost for academic affairs, focusing particularly on developing initiatives that cross academic schools, faculty diversity and faculty development, and resource development. During this time, she worked with faculty to develop and secure funding for a new Center for Asian Studies and a new Institute for Urban Research. She co-chaired the president's diversity task force, and instituted mentoring programs for junior faculty. As vice president for international and interdisciplinary initiatives, Quillen was responsible for developing and implementing Rice's overall global strategy, which includes research partnerships, recruiting strategies, curricular revision and international opportunities for students. She also facilitates implementation of university-wide initiatives, including the Institute for Urban Research, Rice 360 (a global health effort), and collaborations with Baylor and other institutions within the Texas Medical Center. James W. Crownover, chair of Rice University's Board of Trustees, said, "It's an honor for Rice that one of ours has been chosen to lead a place as respected as Davidson. She will work hard, and she will succeed there." Quillen grew up in New Castle, Del., a small town where she says "it was second nature to support the community and look out for other people." A Presbyterian, she attended Quaker schools from prekindergarten through high school. She earned a B.A. degree in American history from the University of Chicago, graduating Phi Beta Kappa with special and general honors, then received a Ph.D. degree in European history from Princeton. A humanist whose academic interests include early modern European history, European intellectual history and gender studies, Quillen has written two books on Petrarch, as well as a number of scholarly articles, reviews and papers. She has received a number of teaching awards during her tenure at Rice. Quillen's daughter, Caitlin, will be a first-year student at the University of North Carolina next fall. Quillen's husband, Ken Kennedy-a computer pioneer who founded the computer science program at Rice—died of pancreatic cancer in 2007. "His greatest gift to me, and to the Rice community, was in living the life he would have chosen," Quillen said. "That's something I think about in a very profound way every day." At Davidson, Quillen succeeds Tom Ross '72, who announced in August 2010 that he would step down to become president of the University of North Carolina system in January 2011.
