MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics at The Florida State University shall be to produce National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I programs for men and women that are characterized by excellence. In addition, the Department strives to be recognized as a campus leader in terms of its ethics, nondiscrimination, and unquestioned fiscal integrity. Excellence in intercollegiate athletic programs is determined by academic achievement; and the development of character, maturity, and a sense of fair play in athletic programs. It, moreover, engenders support for the University among its many constituent groups, including students, faculty, alumni, and friends at the local, state, and national levels. In striving to become a leader among our peers, the Department subscribes fully to the philosophy and regulations set forth by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and operates within the fiscal regulations and nondiscriminatory procedures established by the Florida State University Board of Trustees and the Florida Legislature. It is the explicit philosophy of the Department that our student-athletes will be strongly encouraged and supported in their endeavors to progress toward a degree while simultaneously participating in an intercollegiate athletic program whose environment is consistent with the highest standards of academic scholarship, sportsmanship, ethics, and institutional loyalty. Finally, the decisions and priorities of the Department should always focus on our studentathletes—first, as individuals; second, as students; and third, as athletes.

FSU CELEBRATES 40 YEARS While women’s athletics has held a rich tradition in Tallahassee since the early 1900’s when Florida State was the Florida State College for Women, the 2008 season marks the 40th anniversary of continuous women’s athletics program at Florida State University. In 1968, the volleyball team was FSU’s first women’s intercollegiate team and a new era began in 1995 with the addition of women’s soccer. Over the years, FSU has enjoyed fabulous success in its women’s athletic programs including five national championships and numerous regional and conference titles.

2008-09 SEASON PREVIEW MEN’S PREVIEW

The Florida State men’s swimming and diving team will enter the 2008-09 season with one of its best teams in the history of the program. After finishing third at the ACC Championships in 2008 the Seminoles return four All-Americans from last season and welcome back three red-shirt seniors who sat out in 2007-08 while training for the Olympic Trials. Combined with a host of newcomers, FSU will look to not only challenge for an ACC crown, but deliver the conference’s first top 10 finish at the NCAA Championships since 2003 and the school’s first since 1997.

SPRINT FREESTYLE The Seminole’s look to be loaded in the 50 and 100 freestyle events led by returning All-American Scott Baker. Baker finished seventh at the NCAA Championships in the 50 free and owns the second fastest time in school history in the event. Baker will be joined by red-shirt seniors Jarryd Botha and Ed Denton who provide even more speed to Florida State’s arsenal. Botha finished second at ACC’s in the 50 in 2007 while Denton was ACC Champion in the 100 free. Florida State could also challenge school records in the 200 and 400 free relays with the trio of All-ACC performers being joined by junior Dan Bradford in the relays. All four swimmers have gone under 20 seconds in the 50 free in relay events during their careers. Harper’s Outlook “We have great potential in the sprints and that’s a dangerous word. If our sprinters are on things will go really well, if they’re off things can all go array. It potentially could be one of our strong points and if things are firing on all cylinders then we’ll be very good. We’re going to have a bunch of people fighting for third and fourth legs on relays to go to the NCAA Championships and score.”

Jarryd Botha and Ed Denton

Harper’s Outlook “It has been a lot of fun watching that group materialize and grow. Now we have a senior All-American, a junior All-American and a sophomore All-American who have all scored in the 1650. It’s good to know that the commitment we’ve made in this area with swimmers and coaching is really starting to payoff.”

DISTANCE FREESTYLE Florida State may boast the best group of distance freestyler’s in the country led by All-American and U.S. National Team member Kyle Young. The red-shirt senior was the ACC Meet MVP in 2007 after winning the 500 and 1650 free and finished seventh in the 1650 at the NCAA Championships that same year. Young is joined by a pair of honorable mention All-American’s in junior Nick Graves and sophomore Ian Rowe who both posted top 16 finish at the 2008 NCAA Championships. The group will also be joined by junior Shawn Erickson who posted career best times in the 500 and 1650 free at ACC’s.

BACKSTROKE FSU will look to recapture its dominance in the backstroke events by welcoming back two-time ACC Champion Jarryd Botha. The red-shirt senior swept the 100 and 200 events at the ACC meet in 2007. Botha will be pushed by newcomer Andy Hodgson who will battle for the teams top backstroke spot all season with Botha. Sophomore Ian Rowe and transfer Glenn Kalata will provide much needed depth as well. Harper’s Outlook “Jarryd is a proven commodity, he’s been here and has had three great years and with Andy coming in, he already comes in with world class times. Between the two of them they have the backstrokes covered. We might not be as deep as we’d like, but we certainly are strong.”

BREASTSTROKE The Seminole’s long standing tradition of standout breaststrokers will continue in 2008-09 led by All-ACC performer Rob Holderness. Holderness will lead the way in the 200 breast after finishing third in the event at ACC’s in 2008 and earning a bronze medal at the World Junior Championships. Sophomore Matt Shead will lead FSU in the 100 breast with junior Scott Thacker pushing both Holderness and Shead in the 100 and 200. Junior Corey Swanson will also swim the 100 breast. Harper’s Outllook “Those three [Rob Holderness, Matt Shead and Scott Thacker] are young and enthusiastic and they are starting to come into their own. Realistically they all have the potential to make and score at NCAA’s. We also have some of our IM’ers and fliers who can swim breaststroke as well, we have some great depth.”

Kyle Young

2008-09 SEASON PREVIEW BUTTERFLY

DIVING

After losing All-ACC performer Ian Powell to graduation, the brunt of the butterfly duties will be left to junior Corey Swanson. Swanson will be counted on heavily in particular in the 100 fly. Senior Jarryd Botha will also contribute in the 100 while freshmen Michael Aitken and Sean Spire with have the chance to get their feet wet early in the season in both the 100 and 200 events.

Diving has been one of the Seminole’s strengths for years and once again FSU will rely heavily on this talented group. Junior Terry Horner will once again head the group and will compete for ACC and National Titles on the one and threemeter boards. The most decorated diver in Florida State history is the defending ACC Champion on the one and three-meter and won a National Championship on the one-meter in 2007. Senior Dan Frebel will lead the Seminole’s on the platform and will compete for an ACC Championship as well as a top eight finish at the NCAA meet. Frebel will also be counted on to score big on the three-meter after finishing second at ACC’s in 2008. Senior Scott Derner will also be a major contributor on the one and three-meter disciplines after posing a pair of top eight finishes at last year’s ACC Championships.

Harper’s Outlook “This is going to be an area where we will be tested. Corey has done well for us in the medley relays and Jarry Botha is a guy who can do a great 50 and 100 fly and we’re bringing in Michael Aitken and Sean Spire as freshman. So there is an opportunity for some youngsters to step in and fill some holes and have a chance to get on a relay and make an impact.”

Jeffrey’s Outlook “I think that this year is going to be one of our best years ever. I think that Terry has a great shot at another National Title on the one-meter and his three-meter is coming along as well so he could possibly win in more than one event. Dan and Scott are now veterans are looking to get them to the same level at NCAA’s and hopefully acquire All-American status.”

INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY Florida State will be led in the 200 IM by redshirt-senior Ed Denton and junior Corey Swanson. Denton was an All-ACC performer in the 200 IM in 2007 while Swanson finished in the top eight at the ACC meet last season. In the 400 IM sophomore Rob Holderness and junior Shawn Erickson look to lead the way. Harper’s Outlook “The individual medley is the one event we aren’t really sure on. We have several people who have the potential to step up in that area. You have Ed that’s been top three at the ACC’s and holds the school record and then you have Corey [Swanson] and Robby Hayes who have potential. In the 400 IM, we have some guys who can improve in that area and that will be an area where we will look for some guys to step forward and help us out.”

WOMEN’S PREVIEW

The Florida State women look to improve upon a third-place showing at the 2007 ACC Championships and to do so the Seminoles will rely heavily on their heralded underclassmen. After a spectacular freshman year, the new sophomore class looks to build upon a strong first year and with another great group of newcomers, youth will definitely be served in the pool. Coupled with a key group of senior and junior leaders, FSU will once again make a push to be one of the best in the ACC.

SPRINT FREESTYLE After losing two key sprinters to graduation, Florida State will look upon a pair of juniors to carry the load in the 50 and 100 free events. Kylsie Grimes and Stevi Steinhauer will lead the Seminole sprint group this season. The duo each scored points at the ACC meet and will be joined by sophomore Brittany Selts and Jocelyn Phillips (in the 100 free) both of whom competed in at the United States Olympic Trials. The group will also be bolstered by Junior College National Champion Shanda Casella who joins the Seminoles from Indian River Community Colege. Harper’s Outlook “When you look at the sprints, Stevi really began coming into her own and Kylsie and Jocelyn help make us two or three deep. We also have Shanda coming in as the National Junior College Champion in the 50 and 100 so she will be able to step in with two years of college experience. In terms of the 50 and the 100 we feel like we are solidified there.”

Dan Frebel

Kylsie Grimes

2008-09 SEASON PREVIEW DISTANCE FREESTYLE The distance freestyle group will be bolstered by newcomer Caitin Nolan who is one of Canada’s top junior distance swimmers and will be counted on heavily in the 1000 and 1650 freestyle events. Depth will not be a problem in the 500 free where sophomore Jocelyn Phillips holds the second fastest time in school history while sophomore Holly Mills and senior Georgia Holderness can also be counted on to swim the 500 for FSU. Junior Jen Guyler will also be critical to the team’s success with her ability to swim the 500 and 1650 after breaking the school record in the 1000 free as a freshman. Harper’s Outlook “We’re looking Jocelyn, Kylsie, Georgia and Holly to be the mainstays in the 500. Obviously Caitlin is coming in with her strong point being the mile and the 1000 free. We are also looking forward to Jen Guyler who at her best can be one of our best. Meredith Martelle can also be a key contributor in the mile.” Holly Mills

BACKSTROKE

BUTTERFLY

The Seminoles will certainly look at the 100 and 200 backstroke as a strength this season led by a pair of sophomores. C.J. Hendry will look to be the team leader in the 100 while Holly Mills will attempt to break the school record in the 200. Freshman Stephanie Sarandos will also compete for the title of FSU’s best backstroker after competing at the U.S. Olympic Trials in both the 100 and 200 back.

Florida State loses its best butterflier Lauren Sparg to graduation and will now rely on sophomores C.J. Hendry and Brittany Selts in the 100 and junior Tiffany Elias in the 200 to carry the load. Senior Kelly Dean will help the Seminoles score points in both the 100 and 200 fly as well.

Harper’s Outlook “C.J. and Holly had some great times last season as freshman and Stephanie will come in after having a phenomenal year and a great Olympic Trials and could have some times that may actually be faster than the girls we had last year so between them we feel like we have those events covered.”

Harper’s Outlook “This event is really open and there is the opportunity for people to step up. Someone like Brittany Selts who has a year of experience has the potential to be a great 100 butterflier for us as well as C.J. Jessica Sabotin can help us in the 200 fly plus we have Tiffany Elias and Kelly Dean returning for us so we won’t be short on depth in this event.”

BREASTSTROKE

INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY

Senior Georgia Holderness will highlight the Florida State breaststroke this season. Holderness finished third in the 100 breast and first in the 200 at the Great Britain Olympic Trials and earned All-ACC honors in both events in 2008. Senior Kylen Huntwork will provide depth in both the 100 and 200 events, while junior Jessie Carr and freshman Jessica Sabotin will make an impact in the 100 and 200 races respectively.

Freshman Jessica Sabotin will shoulder most of the load in the 200 and 400 individual medley events after competing in the 200 IM at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Joining Sabotin will be senior Georgia Holderness and junior Tiffany Elias in the 200 IM and senior Meredith Martelle in the 400 IM. Harper’s Outllook “Jessica was an Olympic Trial qualifier in the 200 IM so obviously as a freshman that’s a great recruit to have on your team. We also have some IMer’s who can do it all. Georgia has scored in the IM at the ACC’s, Tiffany can do great IM’s so we have some options there. Meredith is someone who has put up times that are capable of scoring at the league meet and will be counted on in the 400.”

Harper’s Outlook “Georgia is a past ACC Champion in the 200 and is coming off a phenomenal off-season almost making the British Olympic team and posting some times that are off the charts. She’s been working with her stroke and has gotten some things squared away so we’re excited to see what she does.”

DIVING The Seminoles large cast of divers will be led by honorable mention All-American Aleia Monden on the platform. The trio of Monden, Kat Adham and Katie Sirounis will be tough to beat on the one and three-meter boards as well. Florida State also expects freshman Elysse Rowland to make a splash in her first season in Tallahassee. FSU boasts a deep rotation with anyone of the four being capable of taking home a victory on any given day. Junior Melanie Cabassol also adds depth particularly on the platform. Jeffrey’s Outlook “I think Aleia should at least repeat what she did last year and with the new facility she should be even better. Kat [Adham] is one who could have a breakout year, I think she could qualify for nationals and if she gets there the sky’s the limit. I also think that Elysse Rowland is going to be a major player in our conference and possibly on the national level while Katie Sirounis who made some big changes in her diving last year and is going to see the benefits of that this season.”

HEAD COACH NEIL HARPER Head Coach 10th Year Louisiana State, 1990

Not only are more of the Florida State records held by Harper`s studentathletes, but the all-time top ten contains more of his athletes than any other coach in the program’s history. Within the women’s lists, 106 of the 130 best times in Seminole lore have been set during Harper’s nine years, including either the number one or two spots in all but one event. The men’s team has put its name down 95 times since Harper’s arrival in 1999. Over the last six seasons, Florida State has built itself into one of the best dual meet teams in the country. The women’s team has finished the year ranked in the final CSCAA Top 25 poll in seven of Harper’s nine seasons while the men have ended the season in the rankings in six out of nine years. Harper’s 77-31 (.713) mark on the men’s side is second in school history and his winning percentage is first among active ACC coaches. Since the 2001-02 season, the women have won at least nine meets and have only one loss outside the Top 25. The men have produced at least nine wins per season in all but one season during that same time frame with five losses beyond the Top 25. Florida State swimmers and divers excel in the classroom just as well as they do in the pool. Since 2000, the Seminoles have had at least 20 student-athletes on the ACC Honor Roll each year, including a program-high 40 in 2007.

THREE-TIME ACC COACH OF THE YEAR (2004, 2006, 2007)

BIO Entering his 10th season as head coach of the Seminoles, Neil Harper has proven he knows how to build one of the elite programs in the ACC and emerging programs in the country. His 110 wins rank him third and .815 winning percentage ranks him second in ACC history on the women’s side. With 76 ACC Champions and 42 NCAA All-American honors and one National Champion in that time span, Harper’s Florida State squads are continually at the top of the ACC standings and in the running at the NCAA Championships. Perhaps the 2008 season was one of Harper’s finest coaching jobs at FSU. Harper’s women broke the school record for wins in a single season with 17 while the men reach double-digits in victories for the first time since 2005. Leading a pair of inexperienced teams into the ACC Championships the Seminoles were expected to finish in the middle of the pack, yet under the tutelage of Harper and his staff, both programs took home third place finishes. For the ninth consecutive season FSU had an ACC Champion on the men’s and women’s teams’ and for the eighth straight season a Seminole earned All-American honors at the NCAA Championships on the women’s side, and for the third straight year on the men’s side. Harper followed up his 2006 ACC Women’s Coach of the Year award in 2007 with another Coach of the Year nod, this time on the men’s side. After four consecutive second place finishes, the FSU men finally broke through in 2007 with their first men’s ACC Championship. The men were lead by meet MVP Kyle Young and Jarryd Botha who won two events apiece. At the 2007 NCAA Championships, the men captured 17th place, including four All-American honors led by National Champion diver Terry Horner. On the women’s side, the Seminoles followed up their 2006 ACC Championship with a second place finish including eight event victories. FSU went on to finish 17th at the NCAA Championships which included an All-American performance from senior backstoker Romy Altmann. The women finished seventh in the CSCAA poll, their highest finish ever. Florida State athletes are a regular sight on top of the medal stand at the ACC Championships under Harper’s tutelage. Over the last seven years, the women’s team has won 45 individual and relay titles while the men have amassed 31. The 16 combined championships in 2007 were the most during Harper’s tenure. Only Florida State and Virginia have produced an individual men’s champion in each of the last seven years and the Seminoles are the only ones with at least one gold medal winner since 1992. FSU, UVA and North Carolina are the only teams that have produced one or more women’s champions in the last seven seasons. As to be expected, the Tribe has been rewriting the school’s record books. Twenty-one of the women’s 24 school marks have fallen during Harper’s time at FSU, including 18 marks that were reset or broken in the last three years. On the men’s side, 22 records have fallen during Harper’s watch.

A 1990 graduate of Louisiana State University, Harper served as an assistant at his alma mater following graduation up until his first appointment with the Seminoles. During his six years in Baton Rouge, LA, he helped Tiger swimmers earn 21 NCAA All-America honors and seven Southeastern Conference titles. During the 1991 season, both the men and women posted one of their best finishes at the NCAA meet as both came away with a 14th-place showing. As a competitor, Harper is one of the top swimmers in LSU history. He first made his name in the SEC when he won the 100-yard backstroke at the 1986 meet. Throughout his career, Harper collected four SEC titles while earning seven NCAA All-America awards. During his final year, LSU won it’s only SEC Team Championship and finished sixth at the NCAA championships, the highest finish in school history. He still ranks on the Tigers’ all-time top ten in four different categories. The London native represented Great Britain in the 1984 and 1988 Olympics in the 100 and 200-meter backstroke as well as a member of the 400-meter medley relay with sixth and fourth-place finishes respectively. The 43-year-old Harper is married to the former Paige Busch, who was also an All-American and SEC champion in the 100-yard breaststroke at LSU. The couple has two daughters, Katherine (14) and Kelly (12).

Harper’s acumen in the pool extends internationally as he has coached at the biggest international competitions in the last six years. During the summer of 2004, he was on deck for his fourth Olympic Games as he traveled to Athens, Greece, to coach Wickus Nienaber as the head man for the Swaziland contingency. Nienaber was just one of five of Harper’s pupils competing in the Olympics as Chris Vythoulkas swam for the Bahamas, Golda Marcus carried the El Salvador flag and Julio Santos represented Ecuador. The biggest thrill for Harper at the 2004 Olympics was watching one of his former pupils on the medal stand. Stephen Parry – a stand out for the Seminoles while Harper was an assistant – brought home the bronze medal in the 200-meter butterfly after posting the fastest time during the semifinals. In 2000, Harper was a member of the South African Olympic coaching staff in Sydney, Australia. The following year he traveled to Fukuoka, Japan to coach Nienaber in the FINA World Championships. During the summer of 2002, he mentored Nienaber at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester, England, where he was joined by former Seminole All-Americans Stephen Parry and Brett Petersen, as well as Vythoulkas. During the summer of 2003, he returned to the FINA World Championships in Barcelona, Spain with Nienaber. In May of 1999, Harper returned for his second stint in Tallahassee after two years as the women’s head coach at Ohio State. In two seasons with the Buckeyes, Harper’s team posted a 15-12 mark while qualifying six athletes for the NCAA Championships. In the classroom, Ohio State excelled just as well as both of his teams received NCAA All-Academic selections. Within the conference, the Buckeyes received more than 20 Academic All-Big Ten Conference honors during his two seasons. From 1994-97, Harper served as the top assistant at Florida State under Don Gibb. One of his main duties was to coordinate the Seminoles’ recruiting efforts. His work with the recruiting speaks for itself as during that time Florida State produced numerous All-Americans, including FSU’s first NCAA champion, Parry, in the 200 butterfly. As a top aide, Harper was also in charge of the team’s strength and conditioning, while working with the stroke and individual medley swimmers. His work in the pool produced the school’s first female All-Americans in six years as former assistant coach Anne Blachford (200 IM), Helen Jepson (200 fly) and Samantha White (100 breast) all enjoyed NCAA success.

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH ANDY ROBINS Associate Head Coach 14th Year William & Mary, 1983

BIO

ROBIN’S COACHING RESUME

Florida State has solidified itself at the top of the ACC and one of the main reasons is the presence of associate head coach Andy Robins, in his 14th season with the Seminoles. Robins was awarded the Associate Head Coach position in 2003 and is responsible for organizing team workouts, performance data, team travel and home meet management. Robins’ has worked with the Seminole sprinters under head coach Neil Harper and in 2008 added a new chapter to FSU’s illustrious sprinting history. Under the coaching of Robins’ junior Scott Baker had a career year culminating with All-America honors in the 50 free at the NCAA Championships. Baker swam a personal best 19.49 to earn a seventh-place finish. Baker’s time is now second only to Seminole legend Brendon Dedekind. Robins’ also helped lead senior Lauren Sparg to her first career individual honorable mention All-America honors with her 11th place finish in the 100 fly. Sparg was also the ACC Champion in the 100 fly and now owns the school record in both the 100 and 200 fly events. Five Seminoles qualified for the 2007 NCAA Championships in sprint events. Florida State sprinters have earned ten All-Americans honors during Robins’ tenure. Most recently, Christy Cech won back-to-back (2001-02) All-America awards in the 50 freestyle. The Seminoles have also brought home 15 All-America certificates in the 200 and 400 freestyle relays. FSU has been even more successful at the conference level with Robins. The Seminoles brought home four gold medals at the 2007 ACC Championships in sprint events. Under Robins, FSU sprinters have now won 17 ACC titles in the 50 and 100 freestyle events and 20 gold medals in the 200 and 400 freestyle relays. All told, 28 sprinters have collected All-ACC honors during the last ten years.

Associate Head Coach, Florida State Assistant Coach, Florida State Head Coach, Area of Tallahasse Aquatic Club Head Coach, Florida All-Stars Assistant Coach, Florida All-Stars Head Coach, Leon High School Assistant Coach, Area of Tallahasse Aquatic Club

Prior to Coach Harper’s return, Robins worked primarily with the stroke disciplines and individual medley specialists. He most notably worked with Stephan Parry, a NCAA Finalist, as well as a 2004 Olympic bronze medalist. During that time Robins also coached Seminole All-Americans, Anne Blachford, Keam Ang and Nelson Mora. Florida State’s team results during his tenure speak for themselves. The men’s squad has scored points at the NCAA Championships in eight of his 12 years, including three of the past four, with the highest finish in school history, a ninth-place showing in 1997. The women’s 16th-place finish in 2006 was their best ever and part of ten trips to the NCAA Championships since 1995. Robins has helped take the Seminoles from the middle of the ACC pack to the team to beat in the conference. FSU won their first men’s ACC swimming and diving championship in 2007 and have not finished outside the top two since 2003. The women followed-up their first ACC Championship in 2006 with a second place finish in 2007. They have now finished in the top three in five out of the last six years. With Robins on the staff, FSU has dominated its dual-meet schedule. Since 1995, the Seminoles have had just one sub .500 season and have a combined 175 dual-meet victories. Even prior to his graduation from college, Robins had been actively involved in coaching and his involvement with local swimming and diving dates back more than 20 years. His association with swimming in the Big Bend began in 1985 when he took a position with the Area of Tallahassee Aquatic Club. Robins took over the head coaching duties for ATAC in 1993 and led the squad to a top ten finish at the 1996 Junior National Championships. In conjunction with his work with ATAC, Robins served as the head coach at Leon High School in Tallahassee from 1986-91. After only his second year on the job he was named High School Coach of the Year by the Tallahassee Democrat. He also served as head coach for the Florida All-Star Team in 1990 and 1991 after spending the previous two seasons as an assistant coach. Away from the pool Robins served on the Florida Swimming Board of Directors, the House of Delegates and the Technical Planning Committee from 1987-98. A 1983 graduate of The College of William & Mary with a bachelor’s in psychology, he earned his master’s in science education from Florida State in 1987. While in college, Robins swam both the backstroke and distance freestyle events. His swimming accomplishments at William & Mary include setting the school record in the 1650 freestyle while also serving as co-captain. The 48-year-old Robins and his wife Karen have four children, Beth (30), Kurt (29), Jenna (23) and Annemarie (12).

DIVING COACH PATRICK JEFFREY Diving Coach 10th Year Ohio State, 1988 Ohio State Hall of Fame, 2005

BIO

of the Year. Leading up to those NCAA Championships, he swept the Big Ten Conference meet as well and was honored with 1988 Big Ten Diver of the Year. On the international scene, Jeffrey was a finalist on the ten-meter platform at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea and the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Ga. He is a five-time U.S. National Diving Champion splitting those championships between disciplines with three in the ten-meter platform event while holding a pair of titles in the three-meter springboard event. He was also the US Olympic trials Champion on platform in 1996. In addition, he won bronze medals at the 1991 and 1995 Pan-Am games. He competed as a member of the US’s 1989 and 1995 World Cup teams as well as at the 1993 Goodwill Games Team. Most importantly, Jeffrey has drawn from all this experience to structure a program that is designed to develop up and coming athletes into national and world level contenders. He takes from the knowledge that he obtained in his twenty years as an athlete and the subsequent twelve as a coach in the trenches at the world and national levels. “I have had the unique opportunity to observe and study the world’s best programs and diving ideologies in action and have applied the common denominators to our program. I still always have the opportunity to consult with mentors in diving. Seminole divers use resistance and plyometrics training, dry land spotting and exercises, ballet, pilates, nutrition, competition strategy sessions, film analysis (team and world level footage) and basic and advanced water workouts blended into an individualized peaking progression to fuel their success.” “I am confident that our program is absolutely unique because of the amount of resources and experiences that are available to me. My experiences in diving span from day one all the way to the world level both as an athlete and as a coach, both on springboard and platform and that is hard to find. Every diver who comes through my program leaves with a comprehensive understanding of the sport of diving to the highest levels. I am also confident that there are very few experiences that one of my athletes could have that I wouldn’t be able to advise them on or relate to both personally and professionally after 32 years of diving exposure. At FSU we have the highest quality resources and support to draw from to create a healthy, positive and productive experience. I feel most importantly that I am fully aware that the well being of my athletes is of utmost importance. We nurture and guard our team culture constantly. All of the opportunities in the world will be wasted if the athlete isn’t in a proper environment to take advantage of them. Finally, I always keep in mind that life is waiting for these young men and women after diving is over and I am committed to prepare them for that by providing them experiences in sport to draw from in life.”

To mold a championship diver, it takes a true champion, and Florida State’s Patrick Jeffrey certainly fits that bill. A three-time NCAA Champion and two-time Olympian, Jeffrey was inducted into the Ohio State University Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005. Entering his 10th year in Tallahassee, his experience has helped Florida State divers re-write the ACC and Seminole record books. The 2008 season was business as usual for Florida State divers with three All-American performances, four All-ACC results and two ACC Championships. On the men’s side Jeffrey’s four divers earned 10 top eight finishes at the ACC Championships led by a pair of victories by Terry Horner (1m, 3m) and a pair of second place finishes by Dan Frebel (3m, Platform). The women also held their own at ACC’s with the team’s four divers earning points in 11 outof 12 opportunities. At the NCAA meet, Horner once again earned All-American honors with a third-place finish on the 1m and Honorable Mention All-American honors on the 3m. Aleia Monden also earned her first career Honorable Mention All-American honor on the platform. Jeffrey’s divers now have a total of 15 All-America certificates during his time at FSU. Jeffrey’s divers made a significant statement heading into the new season at the United States Championships where Horner captured the National Title on the one-meter and thirdplace honors on the three-meter. Dan Frebel was a Finalist on Platform with a seventh place finish. Scott Derner and Dan Frebel took home fourth-place in the men’s threemeter synchronized competition solidifying the men’s team third-place finish at Nationals. On the women’s side Aleia Monden placed third with her partner in the platform synchro competition. A NCCA Division I Champion himself, Jeffrey can now say he’s coached one with Terry Horner’s victory in 2007 on the one-meter board. Horner doubled up his all American status quickly with an eighth-place finish on three-meter the next day. Since Jeffrey’s arrival in 1999, he’s not only put Florida State diving on the map, he’s set the standard for diving in the entire conference. Seminole divers have captured 18 of the 36 ACC championships on the boards during Jeffrey’s tenure. Within that stretch, eight different Seminoles have claimed conference titles with eleven divers named All-ACC. In that time span, Florida State divers have also claimed four Women’s ACC Divers of the Meet awards, three Men’s ACC Diver of the Meet honors as well as Women’s ACC Swimming & Diving Rookie of the Year. Jeffrey’s coaching accolades also stretch internationally. On the world stage Jeffrey was a member of the 2007 United States World University Games staff where he coached two of his own pupils, Horner and Dan Frebel. He was on the 2000 US Olympic team coaching staff along with the 1997 and 1999 US Senior World Cup Staffs. He also coached the 2001 US World Championship team in Fukioka, Japan. He has served as a Senior National team coach from 1997-2000 with a one year stint (1998) with the Junior National Team. Under Jeffrey’s tutelage, divers have won five US Senior National titles, three Junior National championships, and a pair of third place finishes for the Senior Men’s team in US national competition. Five out of the nine years that Jeffrey has been with Florida State, the school has claimed at least one conference title on the men’s side. FSU’s four-straight championships on the onemeter and three more in the three-meter have not been equaled in nearly 20 years. Eight of the ten FSU diving records have been broken in the past four years, including new marks by Terry Horner (one-meter, 3 meter) and Dan Frebel (platform) last season. The only records not owned by Jeffrey’s divers are from All-Americans Paul Spray and Wendy Fuller which will stand forever because of event format changes. Jeffrey’s wealth of diving knowledge is a direct result of his own career. A seven-time AllAmerican, he highlighted his tenure at Ohio State with a tremendous senior season in 1988. He became the first and only diver in NCAA history to sweep all three diving events with championships on the one-meter, three-meter and platform, earning him 1988 NCAA Diver

MONTGOMERY GYM The Florida State Seminoles first home for swimming and diving was the pool located in Montgomery Gym. The Seminoles trained and competed in the Montgomery pool full-time from their co-ed inception in1947 until 1963 (the team still used the pool for two more years after the opening of the Stults Aquatic Center). The Montgomery pool had five lanes and featured two diving boards.

BIM STULTS AQUATIC CENTER The Seminoles moved to their first outdoor facility in 1963 with the opening of the Union Pool in the center of Florida State’s campus. The pool was later renamed the N.B. “Bim” Stults Aquatic Center to honor FSU’s legendary swimming coach from 1949 to 1973. The Stults Aquatic Center had eight lanes for both 25 yard and 50 meter races and included two one-meter and two three-meter springboards as well as a five, seven-and-a-half and 10 meter platforms for the divers. The most unique feature of the facility were the three underwater windows for filming and stroke analysis.

BOBBY E. LEACH CENTER POOL After nearly 30 years of swimming at the Stults Aquatic Center, Florida State made the move indoors to the Bobby E. Leach Center in 1991. The Leach Pool is a 16-lane by 25-yd indoor swimming facility with two 1-meter and two 3-meter diving boards. FSU split time between the two pools for several years, but after the closing of the Bim Stults Aquatics Center in the Fall of 2003, the Seminoles moved permanently to the Leach Center Pool. Florida State hosted dual meets at the Leach Center for 16 years including the 1993 ACC Championships and will continue to host the team during inclement weather.

MORCOM AQUATIC CENTER Florida State opened its new $10.5 million Morcom Aquatic Center in 2008. The state-of-the-art facility is located off-campus next to the Don Veller Seminole Golf Course. The main pool features up to 30 practice lanes and maintains a temperature of 80 degrees. FSU will be swimming in the same pool that hosted the 2005 FINA World Championships in Montreal, Canada. During those World Championships nine world records were broken. Included in the record breaking performances were Americanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aaron Peirsol (200m back), Ian Crocker (100m fly) and Jessica Hardy (100m breast). The diving well features two one-meter and two three-meter springboards as well as one, three, five, seven-and-a-half and 10 meter platforms. The platforms are 10 feet wide making them the widest in the nation. The diving pool is kept temperature controlled at 82 degrees and also features a compression bubble used to soften a divers impact during entry while practicing platform dives. Divers will also be able to practice their dives using the dryland equipment which includes two springboards attached to an intricate rope and pully system and a trampoline. Spacious locker rooms and coaches offices are located in the adjoined 10,000 square-foot building, which house the athletes equipment and coaching staff.

2007-08 MEN’S REVIEW

FOUR SEMINOLES EARN ALL-AMERICAN HONORS AT NCAA’S

RECORD BREAKING YEAR

Florida State turned in five All-American performances at the 2008 NCAA Championships in Federal Way, Wash., led by diver Terry Horner’s third-place performance on the one-meter. Horner also earned honorable mention AllAmerican honors placing 16th on the three-meter. In the pool, junior Scott Baker led the way with his seventh-place finish in the 50 free. The junior’s time of 19.49 was good enough to put him second on FSU’s all-time top 10 list while becoming the first Seminole to earn All-American honors in the 50 since Brendon Dedekind in 1999. Distance swimmers Ian Rowe and Nick Graves also earned a pair of honorable mention All-American honors in the 1650 free. Rowe finished 10th which was the highest finish for a Seminole freshman and Graves placed 14th overall. The five Florida State athletes combined for 39 points, good enough for a 21st place finish. The Seminoles were one of a handful of teams who had all of its competing swimmers earn top 16 finishes.

FLORIDA STATE SWIMS TO THIRD PLACE FINISH AT 2008 ACC CHAMPIONSHIPS

A year after earning the ACC Championship, the Seminoles turned in a thirdplace performance at the 2008 ACC Championships in Atlanta, Ga. Head coach Neil Harper brought one of his most inexperienced teams to the meet, but FSU put together some great performances led by the Seminole divers to earn 524 points just 36 points out of second place. FSU diving squad earned 10 top eight performances led by Terry Horner’s victories on the one and three-meter boards and Dan Frebel’s second-place efforts on the three-meter and platform. Florida State also earned several All-ACC performances in the pool beginning with junior Scott Baker’s second-place showing in the 50 free. Senior Ian Powell and freshmen Ian Rowe and Rob Holderness also turned in All-ACC performances. Powell placed third in the 200 fly. Rowe touched the wall in third in the 1650 free and Holderness came from behind to finish third in the 200 breast. With the teams third-place showing it kept the Seminoles streak of top four finishes during every season of Harper’s tenure intact.

The Seminoles saw several records fall and new names added to the teams top 10 list in 2008. The Garnet and Gold divers broke all three diving discipline records headed by sophomore Terry Horner. Horner broke the record on the onemeter board three times during the season ending with a high score of 410.70. He shattered the previous record of 401.65 on the three-meter in April at the 2008 Speedo USA Diving Spring Nationals in Minneapolis, Minn., with a score of 420.50. Junior Dan Frebel broke his own record on the platform in the ACC Championships inaugural competition with a finals score of 395.20. In the pool, the Seminoles saw 10 swimmers either add their names to FSU’s all-time top 10 list or improve their position, headed by junior Scott Baker and senior Ian Powell putting themselves in second position in the 50 free and 200 fly, respectively.

FSU EARNS ACADEMIC HONORS

Florida State also had a successful season in the classroom putting 10 athletes on the ACC Honor Roll. In addition to the honor roll selections, the Seminoles had three men on the All-ACC Academic team. Junior Scott Derner, sophomore Terry Horner and freshman Robby Hayes all made the academic team which awards a student-athletes who earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during his academic career while also excelling in the pool.

HORNER EARNS ACC HONORS

With his pair of first-place finishes at the 2008 ACC Championships, sophomore Terry Horner earned ACC Diver of the Meet honors. Horner dominated the springboard events with a score of 393.15 on the one-meter and 399.35 on the three-meter.

PERFORMERS OF THE WEEK

Two Seminoles took home ACC Performer of the Week honors in 2007-08. Junior Scott Baker opened the season with FSU’s POW award at the Georgia Tech Quad Meet. Baker won both the 50 and 100 free events against the Yellow Jackets, Clemson and Alabama. The very next week sophomore Terry Horner was awarded with Performer of the Week honors when he broke the school record on the one-meter board surpassing 400 points for the first time in his career against Miami and Florida A&M. Baker had a lot to be thankful for at Thanksgiving time earning his second POW award of the season with his performance against rival Florida. Baker again was victorious in the 50 and 100 free events against one of the nations top teams.

2007-08 WOMEN’S REVIEW SEMINOLES DUO GARNER ACC PERFORMER OF THE WEEK AWARDS A pair of Florida State underclassmen earned ACC Performer of the Week awards for outstanding performances in 2007-08. Freshman Holly Mills was the first Seminole woman to take home the award for her pair of second-place finishes in the 200 free and 200 back against No. 6 Florida. Sophomore Katie Sirounis earned her award in the team’s first meet of 2008 sweeping the diving events against North Florida and UNC-Wilmington.

SEMINOLE WOMEN BREAK FIVE RECORDS IN 2008 The FSU record books will once again have a different look in 2009 after the Seminole women broke five team records last season. After holding the 100 fly record for less than a day in 2007, Sparg took over the top spot in 2008 at the NCAA Championships with a time of 52.81. The South African also lowered her top time in the 200 fly by nearly two seconds. Freshman Jocelyn Phillips stamped her name atop the record books in the 200 free at the ACC Championships with a tie of 1:47.82. Phillips also found herself on a pair of relays that set new Seminole records at ACC’s. She swam the leadoff leg on the 800 free relay team with junior Georgia Holderness and freshmen Holly Mills and Lowri Tynan that shattered the school record by more than five seconds, touching the wall in 7:13.65. Phillips was also the leadoff swimmer on the 400 free relay teaming with senior Abbie King, Tynan and sophomore Kylsie Grimes that broke the school record with a time of 3:19.90.

SEMINOLE SWIMMERS AND DIVERS LEAD WAY ACADEMICALLY

Lauren Sparg

PAIR OF SEMINOLES GRAB HONORABLE MENTION ALL-AMERICAN HONORS AT NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS Senior Lauren Sparg and sophomore Aleia Monden turned in a pair of honorable mention All-American performances at the 2008 NCAA Championships in Columbus, Ohio. Sparg ended her career at Florida State in spectacular fashion breaking the school record in the 100 fly en route to a 14th place with a time of 52.81. In her first career NCAA Championship, sophomore diver Aleia Monden made the trip worthwhile by placing 11th on the platform with a score of 251.81. The top 16 finish for Monden gave the Hawaiian her first career honorable mention All-American award and helped Florida State to a tie for 39th-place at the NCAA Championships.

The Florida State women proved once again to be all-stars in the classroom as well as in the water. Six Seminole student-athletes were named to the All-ACC Academic team which was second behind Virginia Tech (7). Seniors Abbie King and Kate Skaggs, junior Georgia Holderness, sophomores Aleia Monden and Katie Sirounis and freshman Lowri Tynan all made the cut. King was also awarded an ACC postgraduate scholarship in February for her outstanding performance both academically and athletically, while demonstrating exemplary conduct in the community.

THE TRADITION

THIS IS THE ACC

Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now in its 56th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it. Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 109 national championships, including 57 in women’s competition and 52 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC student-athletes 145 times in men’s competition and 92 times in women’s action. The success of ACC swimming and diving continues to reach new heights since the league sponsored the sport for men in 1954 and for women in 1979. The 2007-08 season proved to be another storied campaign, as the league produced two NCAA individual champions and had 15 student-athletes named NCAA All-Americans along with 22 others earning All-American Honorable Mention. Miami’s Rueben Ross won the three-meter diving event at the NCAA, giving the ACC consecutive diving national champions for the first time in league history. Brittany Viola, also of Miami captured the platform diving national title for the league’s first women’s diving championship. Last year, the conference sent five schools from each of the men’s and women’s programs to the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships with two finishing among the Top 25 in each of their respective team standings. It also marked the fifth consecutive year the ACC has had at least five teams selected to compete in the NCAA Championships. Eight teams from the women’s ranks made NCAA last season to set a new league high. Seven men’s teams made the national postseason event for the third time in league history. ACC men’s swimming and diving have accounted for 228 NCAA All-Americans, 16 national individual champions and one national championship relay team in the 54 years of its storied program. Six of the 12 schools have claimed an ACC championship crown with three of the schools having won 10 or more titles. NC State leads all member schools with 24 total conference championships (21 outright), while North Carolina has clinched 17 (13 outright) and Virginia captured 11. North Carolina’s Phillip Drake and NC State’s Bob Mattson became the first ACC pair to be crowned NCAA champions in 1955. Drake won the 200 butterfly, while Mattson took first place in the 200 breaststroke. There would be five more NCAA individual champions from NC State over the years, including two-time NCAA champion Dick Fadgen (200 breaststroke and 200 butterfly) in 1956 and most recently Cullen Jones, the 2006 NCAA champion in the 50 freestyle. Women’s swimming and diving have established its own standard of success over the past 29 years. Approximately 255 student-athletes have been named NCAA All-Americans and six were crowned NCAA individual champions. North Carolina has been a dominating presence in the ACC, winning 16 outright league championships (1981-86, 1991-96, 2000-02 and 2007). The Tar Heels also boast one of the best all-time swimmers in conference history. Sue Walsh won 10 national collegiate individual championships and never lost a backstroke race in her three years of NCAA competition. Clemson’s Mitzi Kremer was also a swimming sensation for the ACC, as she won both the 200 and 500 freestyle events at the NCAA in 1987 and 1989. Virginia’s Cara Lane was also an NCAA champion in two different events, winning the 1500 freestyle in 2000 and placing first place the following year in the 1650 freestyle. Countless numbers from both the ACC men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs have competed at the international level and continued on to become world champions and Olympians. Among the numerous Olympians who hailed from the league were North Carolina’s Thompson Mann and Sue Walsh as the first male and female representatives. Mann picked up a gold medal in the 1964 Olympics, while Walsh was a member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team. In addition, the ACC has had several Olympic medalists including a league-best six from NC State in Steve Rerych (1968), Dan Harrigan and Steve Gregg (1976), Duncan Goodhew (1976 and 1980), David Fox (1996) and Cullen Jones (2006). North Carolina’s Mann became the first Olympic medalist for the ACC men, while Duke’s Nancy Hogshead was the conference’s first female swimmer to collect an Olympic medal. Mann helped the U.S. 400-meter relay team capture the gold medal as its leadoff swimmer in the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. He also set a world record at the Tokyo Olympic Games in the 100 backstroke (59.80 seconds), becoming the first person to ever eclipse one minute at that distance. Hogshead shared the gold medal with fellow American Carrie Steinsiefer after the pair claimed a deadheat victory in the 100 freestyle at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, Calif. She was also a member of the U.S. gold-medal-winning 400-meter freestyle and 400-meter relay teams. Hogshead also won silver in the 200 individual medley. ACC swimming and diving has also excelled in the classroom, as the men’s and women’s programs have combined for 23 CSCAA Academic All-Americans and 26 others selected to an All-Academic Team by either the CSCAA, CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine or both national organizations. All told, the ACC boasts over 545 All-Americans, 55 NCAA individual champions, two national championship relay teams and countless numbers of Olympians.

2007-08 IN REVIEW

The 2007-08 academic year saw league teams capturing four national team titles and 12 individual NCAA crowns. In all, the ACC has won 43 national team titles over the last 12 years. The ACC has won two or more NCAA titles in 26 of the past 28 years. A total of 140 ACC teams placed in NCAA post-season competition in 2007-08. League teams compiled a 119-69 (.633) mark against non-conference opponents in NCAA championship competition. In addition, the ACC had 154 student-athletes earn first team All-America honors this past year. Overall, the league had 258 first, second or third team All-Americans. In addition, the ACC produced 10 national Players of the Year and five national Coach of the Year honorees.

A HISTORY

The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest - drawing up the conference by-laws. The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern Conference came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference’s annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C., where a set of bylaws was adopted and the name became officially the Atlantic Coast Conference. Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference appeared in the region’s newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh. Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid South, Mid Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline. Duke’s Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference expenses. On December 4, 1953, conference officials met again at Sedgefield and officially admitted the University of Virginia as the league’s eighth member. The first, and only, withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971, when the University of South Carolina tendered its resignation. The ACC operated with seven members until April 3, 1978, when the Georgia Institute of Technology was admitted. The Atlanta school had withdrawn from the Southeastern Conference in January of 1964. The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State University. The conference expanded to 11 members on July 1, 2004, with the addition of the University of Miami and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. On October 17, 2003, Boston College accepted an invitation to become the league’s 12th member starting July 1, 2005.

Current athletes in bold. The years listed indicate the spring semester (i.e. 1994 indicates the 1993-94 school year). Men’s list as of 1961, women’s list is as of 1980. Records prior to that season are incomplete. Corrections are welcome.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Since the inception of the program in 1949, Florida State swimming and diving has had their share of All-Americans. The Seminoles have racked up a combined 182 All-American certificates in 58 years. In addition to the All-American accolades, FSU boasts six National Champions, at least one every decade since 1960. A sure sign that Florida State is on their way to being on of the elite programs in the country.

CURT GENDERS - ONE-METER DIVING (1961)

Before Dave Cowens, Deion Sanders or Charlie Ward, Curt Genders was considered to be “Possibly the greatest athlete in Florida State history” in the 1964 swimming and diving media guide. The moniker was well earned as Genders became the first swimmer or diver to ever earn All-America honors in three different seasons as he picked up the award from 1959-61 on the one-meter board as well as three-meter board or “high board” as it was called back in the 1960’s. A native of Sarasota, Genders saved his best NCAA meet for his last. During the 1961 competition, he defeated a pair of Olympians on his very last dive to claim the title on the one-meter board, a first for Florida State swimming and diving.

PHIL BOGGS - ONE-METER DIVING (1971)

Ten years after Curt Genders brought home the program’s first national championship, Phil Boggs brought home another. While most of the swimmers and divers recruited by Florida State today have national accolades, Boggs was not well known outside of his hometown of Akron, Ohio. Despite standing in at just 5-foot-5, Boggs was actively involved in diving, football, baseball and track, but it wasn’t until his junior year that he fully turned his attentions to the springboard. Working with FSU graduate Dick Wells at Firestone High School, he began his journey to national recognition and eventually an Olympic gold medal. Following a satisfactory freshman season, instead of returning to Ohio, Boggs spent the summer in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., training with coach Bill Barton. Barton’s work that summer had a tremendous impact as the very next season Boggs placed fourth on the one-meter board at the 1969 NCAA Championships. His All-America certificate was the first by a Seminole diver since Genders in 1961. “It was fun,” Boggs said of his summer under Barton’s tutelage. “He was the first person to tell me that I had the opportunity to compete on the national level.” The improvement continued the next as he moved up two spots on the one-meter board while adding All-America recognition during the three-meter competition. His final season Boggs climbed to the top of the diving mountain with a national championships on the one-meter. At the time, Boggs’ five All-America awards tied him with Genders for the most in the program’s history and the diving duo currently rates third. Five years after winning the national championships for the Seminole, Boggs went on to claim a gold medal on the one-meter board at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal.

WOMEN’S 200 FREESTYLE & 200 MEDLEY RELAYS (1982)

The women’s program when out on a high note in its last AIAW Championships as it won a pair of relay titles. The Seminoles finished second to Texas in the team standings thanks to championships in the 200 freestyle and medley relays. Getting Florida State’s first women’s national championship in swimming was the quartet of Meg McCully, Sharon Spuler, Laurie Lehner and Simone Kusseling in the 200 medley relay. The foursome set a new school record with a winning time of 1:42.86. Up next was a title in the 200 free relay as Spuler, Lehner and Kusseling were joined by Lenore Gribble to post a top time of 1:33.50 to set another Seminole standard. A tribute to the talent on that year’s team, both relay marks would stand for more than 15 years. It wasn’t until 1999 that the 200 free relay record was taken down and on the 20th anniversary of the 200 medley relay title, the record was finally broken. The 200 medley and free relays were the centerpiece of one of the most successful years in the program’s history. Eight different swimmers came home with All-America certificates, including five that amassed 12 individual awards to go along with accolades in four of the five relays. The following year Florida State competed at its first Women’s NCAA Championships after the national governing body began sponsoring the sport the year before.

STEPHEN PARRY - 200 BUTTERFLY (1997)

Within the first 23 years of the program, Florida State had a pair of national champions, but after Phil Boggs in 1971, it would be another 36 years before a Seminole stood on top of the podium at the NCAA meet. Florida State returned to men’s swimming and diving glory in 1997 when Stephen Parry put the program back on the map. Parry trained in crowded pools and limited facilities in Liverpool, Great Britain, but from that setting came great accomplishments. He was the 1994 Junior European Champion and the 1995 England National Champion in the 200-fly. Parry found his first year at FSU to be a challenge, having to adjust to a new training program, a new school and new country all together. But it was after the British Trials that he knew he had to change something. He returned to FSU with a new ambition — a team victory at the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships and a top five finish in the NCAA. He took advantage of the training facilities and started working harder and longer.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS At the 1997 NCAA championship meet in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Parry and his teammates achieved several honors. Dedekind became the first FSU swimmer to achieve three All-America finishes and all five Seminole relay teams scored for the Seminoles. But perhaps the greatest accomplishment came on the night of March 29th when Parry, who was seeded first in the 200-fly going into the finals, won the first national championship for swimming in FSU history. His pool record time of 1:44.28 won him the title and helped etch his name in the Seminole record books. “I wasn’t really thinking about it (the championship) at the time,” Parry said. “Going into the race seeded first, there was some pressure but I wasn’t expecting to win. It was more of a shock than anything else. I just swam the race the way coach planned it out. It really didn’t hit me until I got back to Tallahassee that I had won a national championship. And it wasn’t even until this summer that I realized I’m as good as the best swimmers in the nation.”

BRENDON DEDEKIND - 50 FREE (1997) & 100 BREASTSTROKE (1998)

Swimming in a lane with six and seven people is not the ideal training conditions for an Olympic swimmer. But for Brendon Dedekind, it was the starting point for what would soon become a successful career in collegiate and international competition. After the 1992 South African Nationals, he began to pursue that dream. Dedekind sent out 32 applications to United States universities and received many prospect questionnaires, but no scholarships materialized. So in 1993 he enrolled in engineering classes in South Africa and gave up on the dream. In 1993 the tables began to turn for Dedekind and he started to see the dream becoming a reality. Neil Harper, an assistant coach at FSU at the time, received a phone call from former LSU teammate, Darryl Cronje, a fellow South African swimmer, telling him about a South African who could be an asset to the team. Not too long after, Dedekind received a call from then assistant head coach Neil Harper offering him a scholarship. As a freshman in 1995, he qualified for the NCAA Championships at the University of Texas. Although he made the consolation finals in the 50free and won the heat finishing ninth, he was still overwhelmed by the facility and the stronger, faster swimmers. This gave him more incentive to train and work harder for the next season. The following March, Dedekind started to make his mark in FSU swimming history. With one NCAA meet under his belt, Dedekind felt more relaxed and less overwhelmed by the enormity of the competition at the 1997 Championships at Minnesota. That year he became the first swimmer in FSU history to garner All-America honors in three events as he finished in the top five of the 50 and 100 freestyle—including the fastest 50 free heat in NCAA history—as well as the 100 breaststroke. In the 1998 NCAA meet at Auburn, his 19.17 qualifying time in the 50 free set a new pool record and gave him the top seed going into the evening competition. That night, Dedekind dominated the competition and became only the second swimmer in FSU history to win an individual title, taking first in the 50 free. “I took the race as just another race,” Dedekind remarked. “It was really exciting to win the 50-free, but I was still not satisfied with my time. I think I could have swam faster that night.” Satisfaction came in his senior year, but not in the 50 free. Dedekind entered the 1999 NCAA Championships qualified in the 50 and 100 free and the 100 breaststroke. He walked away with yet another title, but this time it was in the 100-breast. A participant in the 1996 and 2000 Summer Olympic Games, Dedkind’s Florida State career will come full circle in the fall of 2004. Dedekind became the eighth Seminole from the swimming and diving team to be elected to the Florida State Hall of Fame.

TERRY HORNER - ONE-METER DIVING (2007)

After taking home two diving National Titles in 10 years it would be another 36 until FSU would once again have a diver atop the podium. Not only did Terry Horner bring home the Seminoles first diving championship in more than three decades, he became the first freshman swimmer or diver to do so. Horner’s 6 dive total of 399.35 put the freshman from Orlando in elite company. He, along with Seminole sprinter Walter Dix are the only FSU athletes to ever win an individual National Championship as freshmen. Horner was able to pull away early when his second dive of the finals scored a 9.0 from all seven judges. He was able to seal the deal on his final dive where he received four more 9.0 scores. Horner now joins Seminole legend Curt Genders and Olympic Gold Medalist Phil Boggs as diving National Champions.

FSU’S OLYMPIC TRADITION FSU’S SWIMMING & DIVING OLYMPIC HERITAGE

For an athlete, the highest honor a nation can bestow upon them is to have them represent their country in the Olympic Games. Since the 1976 Games in Montreal, Canada, the Summer Olympics have had a Garnet and Gold feel to them. All told, 13 current and former Florida State swimmers and divers have represented 11 different countries. Dating back to Florida State’s first Olympic representative in the pool, diver Phil Boggs at the 1976 Games, the Seminoles have had at least one representative in all but two of the last eight Olympics. At the 2004 Games in Athens, Greece, Florida State had five representatives – the second highest total in school history – and former Seminole Parry produced the school’s second medal in the pool as he took the bronze in the 200-meter butterfly. The last three Olympic Games have been especially bountiful for Florida State representation at the aquatics center. Eleven of the Seminoles’ 13 Olympians took part in either the Atlanta, Sydney or Athens Games. The 2000 Sydney Olympics saw FSU’s highest participation as six former Seminoles competed at the event. In the last

two Games, Florida State has had eight different participants. Success was immediate for the Seminoles the first time they had an athlete in the pool at the Olympics. Diving for the United States, Boggs captured the school’s first medal when he won gold during the springboard event in Montreal. It would be another 28 years before a Seminole would appear on the medal stand after Great Britain’s Stephen Parry captured the bronze in the 200-meter butterfly. While Parry ended Florida State’s 28-year medal drought, a different dry spell of almost equal length was halted as well in Athens. In 1980, Wendy Fuller became the first female FSU swimmer or diver, and only the second overall, to complete in the Olympics when she dove for her native Canada. It wasn’t until 2004 when the Seminoles had their second female in the water as Golda Marcus, competing for El Salvador, swam in the 400 and 800-meter freestyle. Besides being only the second female Olympian in the program’s history, Marcus is part of another elite group. She and teammate Chris Vythoulkas—a member of this years Bahaman team—are two of only four FSU swimmers to ever compete in the Olympics while still part of the active roster. The first pair of current Seminoles to compete in the Games was South African Brendon Dedekind and Rob Braknis of Canada when they swam in the 1996 Atlanta Games. Up until this year, no Seminole had participated in more than two Olympic Games. All of that changed in 2004 as Julio Santos made his third appearance in the games for Ecuador. A two-year All-American, Santos made his first trip to the Games in 1996 then returned in 2000. All told, five Florida State swimmers and divers have participated in more than one Olympics. Florida State has been well represented on the pool deck by a pair of coaches. Head coach Neil Harper, an Olympian himself in 1984 and 1988, served as a coach for South Africa in 2000, while returning in 2004 as a member of the Swaziland coaching staff. Diving coach Patrick Jeffrey made the trip to Atlanta in 1996 as member of the US team. In 2002 he was a member of the US coaching staff in Sydney.

FSU’S OLYMPIC TRADITION GARNET AND BRONZE

“Sometimes uptight is not the best way for him to perform,” Harper said. “As you saw from semifinals he’s at his best when he is footloose and fancy-free. What it did for him was take some of the pressure off him. You could see by the way he swam that the weight had been lifted off his shoulders. It was fun to watch him last night. He tried to keep it low key for the finals but it’s tough when you know the whole world is watching.” While Parry tried to bring his carefree demeanor to the finals of the 200 butterfly, having the eyes of the world on you and an agitated world record-holder in the lane besides you doesn’t make for a walk in the park. From his observation spot on the deck, Harper noted that as the finalist marched onto the deck for the event, Parry tried to give a wave and a smile to his British teammates in the stands, but clearly his game face is on. As was to be expected, Phelps took an early lead in the race and tried to put as much distance as possible between he and the rest of the field. One of the best in the world at closing out a race, if Phelps had a sizeable lead at the last turn everybody else would be racing for silver. Through the first 100 meters, Parry was firmly in second ahead of Japan’s Takashi Yamamoto, but nearly a second behind Phelps. Midway through the third 50 meter lap, Parry’s “nothing to lose” attitude came back. If he didn’t take his shot at catching Phelps he would never know what might have been. “I thought I’d lost it there at the end,” Parry added. “I saw Michael getting away. I got really excited down that third length. I thought I was reeling him in a bit and I didn’t expect to be there. I came off that last wall and that’s when he showed his true form. He really is fantastic.” During that third lap Parry hit the afterburners—his third split of 29.74 was lap three’s fastest and the third fastest 50-meter split during the final 100 meters of the race—and with 25 meters to go he was neck and neck with Phelps. Unfortunately, the combination of Phelps’ closing ability and not enough fuel in Parry’s tank allowed Phelps to pull away for the gold. “It got really exciting. Steve was pushing Phelps and the two of them just took off,” Harper said. “Stephen tried to make a move at 150 (meters) and caught up to him and it look for a second that he might pull it off, but he ran out of gas and the Japanese guy caught up to him and Stephen held on for the bronze. “You could tell that Steve was really relieved at the end. He had given himself a shot to win the gold and was able to hold on for the bronze. He got what he wanted and it’s great to see that. He soaked it all up.” Yamamoto also pulled away during the last few strokes as he snuck in for the silver, but Parry would still be on the medal stand. After his performance in the semifinals, Parry told Harper that after a sixth-place finish in Sydney and fourth at last year’s World Championships, he did not want to finish fourth through sixth, he wanted that medal and now he had it. In addition, Parry reset the British record that he took down the night before with a time of 1:55.52. Besides ending Britain’s eight-year drought without a medal, Parry also snapped a 28-year drought for the Florida State swimming and diving program. The team’s only medal came at the 1976 Games in Montreal, Canada, when diver Phil Boggs captured the gold medal on the springboard.

Every swimmer that participates in the Olympic Games dreams of being on the medal stand and having a dignitary place that medal around their neck. From the world record holders all they way down to person seeded last in lane eight, the dream is there. It’s what drives them to get up at 5:30 a.m. every morning for practice instead of hitting the snooze bar one more time and what makes them swim one more lap instead of hitting the showers even though their body aches. Every Olympian daydreams of seeing their flag rose to the rafters and for former Florida State University swimmer Stephen Parry that dream became a reality. In 2004 he became the first Seminole in 28 years to capture a medal as he took home bronze in the 200-meter butterfly. “I’m really, really proud. It’s an amazing feeling, a fantastic feeling,” Parry said. “I know it’s an old cliché, but it really is a dream come true. I’m so proud to be a part of the British team and give them this medal.” The fulfillment of that dream almost became a nightmare for Parry. Swimming for Great Britain, a ton of pressure had been put on Parry and his teammates after the squad came up dry in the medal count during the Sydney Games, a first for Britain since the 1936 Olympics. Perhaps it was the weight of an entire country on his shoulders or the internal pressure following a fourth-place finish at the 2003 World Championships, irregardless, the preliminaries of the 200 butterfly on August 16 did not go as planned. In fact, the prelims were almost Parry’s only swim of the entire meet. The 16th and final swimmer in the semifinals, he was a tenth of a second from being in the stands for the race instead of in the pool. “It was a disappointing start and I was desperate to give something to the team,” Parry noted. “I watched the same clip of Rocky III and I was really nervous. But now I know the feeling of being an Olympic medalist and it’s wonderful.” With his world turn upside down, Parry turned to a safe haven – Florida State head coach Neil Harper. A confidant from his days as Parry’s assistant coach at FSU and someone who knows what pressure is like on the British team, Harper— who traveled to Athens as a member of the Swaziland coaching staff—was able to put Parry back in the right frame of mind for the semifinals that night. It’s funny how far a “nothing to lose” attitude can take you. Swimming out of lane eight, Parry not only qualified for the finals, but he did something that only one other individual had done at the Games, he beat Michael Phelps. The 19-year-old American phenom was the favorite to win five individual medals, but in the semis Parry stole the spotlight as he beat Phelps to the wall and earn the top seed for the finals the following night. “Sometimes that’s just the way sports go,” Harper added. “He was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. He had a poor swim in the morning and let the stress and pressure get to him. Now he’s in the outside lane and had nothing to lose and everything to gain and you could tell he enjoyed swimming again. Luckily for him it wasn’t damaging enough that it didn’t cause him to not make the semifinals.” All of sudden his rollercoaster ride through the Olympics was heading back up hill at a dramatic pace. Instead of just being another also-ran in the Michael Phelps’ coronation, Parry joined Australia’s Ian Thorpe as the only swimmer at the Games to beat the second-coming of Mark Spitz to the wall. The spotlight was back on.

FSU’S OLYMPIC TRADITION PHIL BOGGS: FSU’S FIRST OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST

When he first came to Florida State in 1968, very few would have pegged Phil Boggs as a future gold medal winner in the Olympic Games. It was through hard work and a boost of confidence that got him to the top of the medal stand in 1976. A four-sport athlete in his native Akron, Ohio, Boggs didn’t concentrate on diving until his junior year and his first season at Florida State was not outstanding. Instead of heading back to the Buckeye State for the summer following his freshman year, Boggs decided to spend the break in Ft. Lauderdale with coach Bill Barton. When he wasn’t working as a lifeguard or cleaning the pool, Boggs was on the diving board learning from Barton. Besides improving the technical aspect of his diving, Barton’s biggest impact on Boggs may have been the boost of confidence he gave the young diver. “It was fun,” Boggs said of his summer under Barton’s tutelage. “He was the first person to tell me that I had the opportunity to compete on the national level.” Over the course of a summer Boggs was transformed from just another diver to one of the top collegiate divers in the country. At the 1969 NCAA Championships, he picked up his first All-America honor – the first by a Seminole diver since 1961—and proceeded to collect four more national honors over the next three seasons. If he didn’t know it by his senior year, Boggs would find out in 1971 that he had what it took to compete beat the elite athletes. That season he captured Florida State’s second national championship, winning the one-meter crown. Now that he had capped of his collegiate career at the top of the mountain, it was time to test himself against the rest of the world. The year after he won the national championships, Boggs virtually had his ticket punched for the 1972 Games in Munich. A poor dive during the final round of the US Olympic Trials kept him off the 1972 team and put Olympic Dreams on hold for four years. “People always talk about sacrifices, I don’t know where they get that from,” Boggs noted. “That’s a distorted view. It’s just a matter of priorities. You can’t think ‘Gee I missed a party because I had to get up early to work out. I enjoyed the workouts. You have the camaraderie of the people you work out with. It’s like a fraternity or sorority in itself.” Not only was Boggs determined to be on the 1976 team in Montreal, he had his eyes set on winning a medal. Between the 1972 Olympic Trials and the ’76 Games, Boggs won 17 national and international titles, including the 1973 and 1975 World Championships. In four years he had gone from being a spectator to being the favorite for gold. Going into the final round of the 1976 Olympics, Boggs was well in command of the springboard competition, holding a 40-point lead on the nearest competitor, but his experience at the 1972 Trials told him that nothing was guaranteed. He nailed his final dive, a 2 ½ somersault with a twist, and when he came back to the surface and saw the judges’ scores, Boggs knew he had the gold medal wrapped up. His final score of 619.05 put him 48.57 points ahead of silver medalist Franco Cagnotto of Italy. “Everything you’ve ever dreamed of is right there. Even if no one else knows, you know it will always be there,” Boggs added. “When the national anthem plays and you’re presented your medal, you feel like the king of the world.” Boggs went on to become the president of US Diving and was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1985. The Phil Boggs Awards is present annually at the US Aquatic Sports Convention, honoring those who have achieved individual excellence in diving and have given back a part of themselves to insure the sport’s success continues. Boggs died on July 4, 1990, in Miami, Fla.

From its pre-Civil War beginnings as the Seminary West of the Suwannee to a nearly four-decade stint as the Florida State College for Women to its return to coeducational status as a university, Florida State University has evolved into an internationally recognized research institution. Committed to preparing graduates for the ever-expanding opportunities of a global society, FSU is celebrated not only for its worldclass research but also for its teaching and record of public service. Florida State University enrolls about 41,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students, of which nearly 30 percent are minorities and 57 percent are women. FSU students come from every county in Florida, all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and more than 128 countries. The university offers an impressive breadth of academic degree programs, including 99 at the bachelor’s degree level; 112 at the master’s level; 26 at an advanced master’s/ specialist’s level; 73 at the doctoral level; and two at a professional degree level. Courses are offered through 16 colleges — Arts and Sciences; Business; Communication; Criminology and Criminal Justice; Education; Engineering; Human Sciences; Information; Law; Medicine; Motion Picture, Television and Recording Arts; Music; Nursing; Social Sciences; Social Work; and Visual Arts, Theatre and Dance. Florida State is a Carnegie Doctoral/Research Extensive institution, awarding more than 2,000 graduate and professional degrees each year. Doctoral faculty in five academic areas have been ranked among the tops in the nation according to the Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index: social work – #4; Spanish – #4; marketing – #5; oceanography – #8; and atmospheric sciences – #10. FSU

has many undergraduate and graduate academic programs that consistently rank among the nation’s top 25 at public universities, among them programs in business, chemistry, communication disorders, creative writing, criminology, ecology and evolutionary biology, education, information, law, meteorology, oceanography, physics, political science, psychology, public policy, sociology and statistics. At Florida State, students have the opportunity to work and study alongside members of the prestigious National Academy of Sciences; members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences; winners of the Pulitzer Prize; Guggenheim Fellows; a Nobel laureate; and other globally recognized teachers and researchers, including faculty who lead several scholarly fields in citations of published work.

Over the past year, the university has won research grants totaling more than $196 million. FSU was ranked No. 1 in the nation among top research universities in graduation rates for African-Americans. FSU is currently developing, designing, breaking ground for or constructing about $500 million worth of facilities, and the new Chemical Sciences Laboratory and the James E. “Jim” King Life Sciences Building are world-class examples that herald the dawn of a new era for Florida State’s science community. The FSU track and field team won its third-in-a-row NCAA championship. Thirteen FSU student-athletes and coaches from three sports represented the Seminoles and eight different countries at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China. And, closer to home, a commitment to community service put FSU student-athletes at the top of the Outreach Honor Roll from the National Consortium for Academics and Sports. Two leaders in medicine, Florida State University and Mayo Clinic, signed an agreement to work as research partners in the quest to improve health care outcomes for Floridians and all Americans. The agreement calls for interaction and collaboration between researchers at FSU and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., the establishment of joint research programs, and the exchange of scientific and educational literature and research –- and opens up unique opportunities to turn basic science into new cures for a variety of diseases, from cancer to Alzheimer’s.

The collective strength of biomedical research at Florida State and the scientists who lead it has earned an extremely competitive $2 million High-End Instrumentation grant from the National Institutes of Health. The grant and an additional $2.8 million in FSU matching funds will be used to purchase a stateof-the-art robotic electron microscope that will place the university among the very top imaging centers in the world. FSU scientists will use the unique robotic microscope to advance their cutting-edge research on HIV/AIDS, heart disease, hypertension and cancer. FSU is bringing together researchers with expertise in a variety of fields to develop new strategies for dealing with Florida’s energy challenges. The new Florida Energy Systems Consortium is a collaborative effort among the state’s 11 public universities to address key issues pertaining to energy, climate and the environment –– with a particular focus on promoting renewable energy. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist signed into law a comprehensive energy bill establishing the consortium and providing a total of $50 million in funding, to be divided among four core institutions — FSU (with $8.75 million), the University of Central Florida, the University of Florida and the University of South Florida. The university has been selected as the lead institution for the new Florida Center for Advanced AeroPropulsion, a collaborative project featuring the state’s premier researchers in aerospace and aviation. Of $14.57 million in funding appropriated to create the center, FSU will get the largest portion — nearly $6 million — to oversee center operations and develop research and policy that unites scholars from various disciplines and universities. Florida State’s main campus is spread over 450.5 acres in Tallahassee. Within the state, the university maintains facilities in Panama City, at its Coastal and Marine Laboratory on the Gulf of Mexico, and at the Asolo Performing Arts Center in Sarasota. The university also operates the Ringling Center for the Cultural Arts in Sarasota, which includes the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art –– the largest museum/university complex in the nation. Library holdings at Florida State include 2.9 million book titles and 9.1 million microforms and rank among those at the nation’s top 30 public research universities. Collectively, the FSU libraries belong to the Association of Research Libraries, whose membership is comprised of the top research university libraries in the United States.

Among low, rolling hills, down moss draped canopy roads, within picturesque historical districts, and across seas of flowering azaleas lies a magical part of the Sunshine State —Tallahassee — Florida’s capital city. With its intriguing combination of power-play politics and classic character splashed with a twist of beauty and charm, Tallahassee is a genteel Southern belle with good manners, old plantation homes and y’all-come hospitality — a side of Florida few expect to find. With the Gulf of Mexico just 25 miles south and the Georgia border only 14 miles north, Tallahassee rests between the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and the juncture of Florida’s panhandle and peninsula in an area known as

“The Big Bend.” Nearer in miles to Atlanta than to Miami, Tallahassee more closely resembles its’ Georgia neighbor than Florida in topography, climate and lifestyle. Like the city itself, the story of how Tallahassee was chosen as the state capital is rich in history. In 1823, two explorers set out — one on horseback from St. Augustine and the other by boat from Pensacola — to establish a permanent, central location for the seat of government. The two met at a beautiful site that the Creek and Seminole Indians called “tallahassee” — derived from the words “talwa,” meaning town, and “ahassee,” meaning old. This historic meeting place remains Florida’s capital today. The new Capitol building rises at the center of Tallahassee’s downtown as a sleek modern structure, juxtaposed next to the Old Capitol, built in the more classic domed style. A gallery atop the 22-story New Capitol provides a sweeping view of the hilly city and its tree-lined streets. From it, you can see all the way to Georgia, 20 miles away.

Around the capitol complex, a 10-block historic district spreads, preserving the town’s gracious old homes along a linear park and holding a historic inn, bars and restaurants patronized by Senators and sophomores alike. With no shortage of culture, downtown also offers museums, theater and art galleries. Artists have turned the old warehouses of Downtown Industrial Park into the studios and cafes of Railroad Square. The Museum of Florida History, nearby, is highly acclaimed for its scan of the state’s past, and The Mary Brogan Museum of Art & Science, along with changing art exhibits, brings learning to a kid’s level with hands-on exhibits. Other sightseeing favorites include the floral masterpiece of Alfred B. Maclay State Gardens; Bradley’s Country Store; FAMU Black Archives; and the Tallahassee Antique Car Museum.

The area surrounding Tallahassee reveals numerous other historic and archaeological treasures, such as De Soto State Archaeological and Historical Site, Lake Jackson State Archaeological Site, Mission San Luis, Natural Bridge Battlefield and San Marcos de Apalache. Visitors can explore prehistoric Florida at the Museum of Florida History, where they are greeted by a giant 12,000-year-old mastodon pulled from nearby Wakulla Springs. On the shores of Wakulla Springs, alligators still laze under the watchful eyes of “snake birds” perched on twisted cypress trees. The site of many underwater scenes in “Tarzan” movies, it’s one of the world’s deepest freshwater springs. Glass-bottomed boat tours across these mystical waters are available. Nearby small towns offer fascinating excursions to places such as Pebble Hill Plantation, Florida Caverns State Park, Monticello Opera House and St. George Island.

TALLAHASSEE UP CLOSE Tallahassee is home to more than 60,000 college students between Florida State University, Florida A&M University and Tallahassee Community College. Nearly sixty percent of Tallahassee’s population is between the ages of 18-44. The average maximum temperature in Tallahassee is 78 degrees and almost twenty-five percent of the year the temperature is above 90 degrees. There are over 150,000 people living in the Tallahassee area and over 300,000 in the metropolitan area. The capital of the State of Florida has been located in Tallahassee since 1823. The Gulf of Mexico is just 20 miles south of Tallahassee and the Georgia border is just 14 miles to the north.

The FSU strength and conditioning program is designed to improve athletic performance through an individualized regimen of stretching, lifting, speed, power, agility and conditioning drills. The goal of the program is to maximize the on-field performance of each athlete, while reducing the risk of injury. Before a strength program is designed for an athlete, they are put through a series of physical tests to evaluate their speed, power, strength, agility, and body composition. Once the testing is completed, a program is designed for each student-athlete that will specifically address his weaknesses and enhance his strengths. The computerized workout programs show in detail the exercise, the number of sets, repetitions and amount of weight prescribed for each workout. Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Jon Jost and his staff of experts closely monitor progress to assure each student-athlete is on schedule to reach their goals. Physical development is critical in order to excel at the collegiate level. FSU’s athletics department is committed to excellence in every area. This includes providing its athletes with the most state-ofthe-art facility and equipment. Florida State’s Champions Training Complex provides the best platform to train its athletes to their full athletic potential. If the coaching staff is the engineer that fine-tunes the automobile, then Strength and Conditioning coach Dwan Riggins is the mechanic that builds the strong machine. Riggins is responsible for designing and implementing training programs for the Women’s Soccer team as well as the Swimming and Diving squad. She began working with the Swimming and Diving team upon her arrival at Florida State in 2004. A native of Tallahassee, Riggins received her undergraduate degree in 2003 from the University of Florida (UF) in Exercise and Sport Science and a Master’s degree in Sport Management from FSU (2008). Riggins served as a volunteer for the Gator’s Strength and Conditioning staff, working with volleyball, soccer, and women’s basketball. Her final season in Gainesville she worked as a fitness trainer at the Living Well Facility on the UF campus. Riggins began as an intern for FSU’s Strength and Conditioning department and later took the role as full-time coach.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEADERSHIP, EDUCATION AND SERVICE (N.O.L.E.S)

Developed by the Florida State University Department of Athletics, the N.O.L.E.S. program represents a commitment to the total growth and development of each student-athlete. The program establishes an administrative commitment to academic and athletic excellence. Those efforts will be supported with programs and services in personal and career development service.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Fostering the development of personal growth is a fundamental component of the N.O.L.E.S. program. The support programs ensure that the student-athlete will be provided with opportunities to focus on personal growth areas such as value clarification, goal setting, fiscal planning, decision making and personal responsibility. Programming focuses on helping the student-athlete develop a healthy lifestyle while they are at Florida State and habits that will benefit them for life.

acquaint students with the job search process, provide networking opportunities and ultimately assist with job placement. The program places a priority on the development of the total person, with the goal of developing individuals who will have rewarding careers and productive lifestyles after they leave Florida State. The newest addition to the Career Development program is the Senior Transition Seminar offered through the Office of Student Services. The course is offered to all senior studentathletes with exhausting eligibility and is designed to assist with resume building, networking with former student-athletes, and tips on transitioning from intercollegiate athletics into the working world.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Serving the community is the focus of the Seminole Spirit program. Studentathletes are challenged to provide service to our community and individuals who are in need. With a clearly defined program of service, student-athletes are given the opportunity to develop lifelong commitment to volunteerism. Over the years, the commitment to community service has grown leaps and bounds. The FSU athletic department was recently recognized by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports for the most successful outreach and community service program in which FSU student-athletes impacted the lives of over 150,000 youths.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT

Preparing for life after college is a major focus of the N.O.L.E.S program. The program is designed to work in cooperation with Florida Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Career Center to

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

The Florida State University Department of Athletics is committed to developing programs of excellence that foster leadership development. The Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) has been in place in the Florida State University Athletic Department for ten years, and consists of a fantastic group of motivated student-athletes. The SAAC consists of 42 student-athletes, at least two from every team, and they meet every two weeks to discuss issues confronting student-athletes, here at FSU, as well as in the Atlantic Coast Conference and across the nation. The SAAC at FSU has many responsibilities: they take the lead on a variety of events, starting with the New Student-Athlete Orientation, Peers Helping Athletes Transition (PHAT) Tuesdays with freshmen student-athletes, the Culture Fest (student-athletes celebrating diversity within the athletic department), the Welcome Back Picnic and culminating with the Golden Nole Awards year ending banquet where seniors from each team are honored and studentathletes who have excelled in the area of community service are awarded.

ACADEMIC HONORS AND AWARDS PROGRAM

MISSION STATEMENT

The primary focus of the Athletic Academic Support Program is to provide an environment which facilitates the academic success of each student-athlete. Student success is encouraged through competent academic counseling, study skills development, individualized assessment and support, and a wide array of tutorial services.

The Academic Support Program is committed to recognizing the academic success of all student-athletes. The annual “Golden Torch Gala,” a black-tie academic awards banquet organized by Seminole Boosters, Inc., occurs each fall. At this event, the ACC Honor Roll student-athletes, as well as the individuals with the highest GPA on their respective teams, and the men’s & women’s teams with the highest GPA are recognized.

SERVICES AND PROGRAMS ACADEMIC ADVISING The advisors in Academic Support serve as the lower-division advising unit for all student-athletes. The staff advises students through the Liberal Studies curriculum and degree prerequisites. The advisors work with the students in a number of areas related to the academic experience at Florida State University, but with a primary emphasis in advising and monitoring the progress toward the selected degree program, taking into consideration, all variables, which would enhance or impede each student’s progress toward the goal of graduation.

STUDY HALL Professionally supervised study sessions for each athletic team are organized in order to help ensure the academic success of the student-athletes. The main focus of the study hall program is to help students develop consistent and appropriate study patterns by providing a structured setting to work on class assignments and to provide tutorial assistance before academic problems arise. Although the criteria for study hall is left to the discretion of each academic counselor, typically, most freshmen, first year transfers, and upperclassmen who have not yet achieved a satisfactory cumulative grade point average are asked to attend study hall.

Team meetings are held each year, during which time studentathletes are notified of potential honors and awards and are encouraged to apply. Combining a strong grade point average with athletic accomplishments, community service activities, and leadership experiences make for a student-athlete capable of obtaining unlimited academic honors, awards, and postgraduate opportunities.

SUMMER BRIDGE PROGRAM Athletic Academic Support, in conjunction with Athletic Student Services and the University, offers incoming student-athletes a “Summer Bridge Program” to aid in the transition from high school to college. The program is a week long intensive orientation that incorporates the University orientation with the athletics department orientation. This orientation highlights many different topics that are important for student-athlete success. In addition to introducing the student-athlete to academic policies and procedures, other topics covered include nutrition, student life, community service, technology on campus, media training and compliance.

TUTOR AND MENTOR PROGRAM The tutorial program is available to all student-athletes as they progress towards their ultimate goal of obtaining a college degree. Approximately, 65 tutors are hired a year, from a variety of academic departments. Each tutor is committed to providing a proactive, individualized approach in assisting studentathletes with course comprehension and study skills. The tutors are graduate level students or undergraduates that excel in a specific area of study. All mentors are graduate or PhD level students who have outstanding academic backgrounds. Mentors are academic role models who have demonstrated the ability to teach and give guidance in areas of academic developmental skills. They are responsible for providing assistance in the development of skills such as note taking, test preparation, and communication with faculty. In essence, mentors become an extension of the academic counselor as they keep the academic performance of their student-athletes under close observation and report to the academic counselors each week.

COMPUTER LAB The Athletic Academic Support Computer Lab is located in the Athletic Academic Support wing at the Moore Athletics Center. It is outfitted with 30 PC compatible computers and several laser printers. The computer lab is available to student-athletes six days a week with extended hours during finals week. The entire Athletic Academic Support wing is also equipped with wireless internet.

FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY COMPLIANCE OFFICE

The following information is provided by the Florida State Office of Compliance for prospective student-athletes. It is intended as a guideline to introduce you to some of the rules governing NCAA athletics.

KEY DEFINITIONS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Representatives of Athletics Interests are commonly called “boosters”. Under NCAA rules, a representative of the institution’s athletics interest is any individual who is known (or should have been known) by a member of the institution’s athletic department that has ever: • Contributed to the athletics department or to its booster club. • Joined the institution’s booster club or any sport specific support group • Provided benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their families • Assisted in any manner in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes • Promoted the institution’s athletics program. • Purchased season tickets. *** Once an individual is identified as a representative, the person retains that identity forever *** Prospective Student-Athlete: A prospective studentathlete is any student who has started classes for the ninth grade regardless of his/her athletics ability and/or participation. Any student younger who receives any benefit from an institution or representatives of athletics interests immediately becomes a prospective student-athlete. In addition, student-athletes enrolled in preparatory school or two-year colleges are considered prospective studentathletes. A prospective student-athlete remains a prospect even after he or she has signed a National Letter of Intent or accepts an offer of financial aid to attend an institution. The prospect remains a prospect until he/she reports for the first day of classes for a regular term (fall or spring) or the first official day of practice (whichever comes first). Contact: A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect or the prospect’s parents, relatives or legal guardian(s) and an institutional staff member during which any dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of a greeting. Evaluation: An evaluation is any off-campus activity designed to assess your academic qualifications or athletic ability, including any visit to your high school (during which no contact occurs) or the observation of any practice or competition in which you participate.

PHONE CALLS AND LETTERS

Phone calls from coaches (but not boosters) are permitted beginning July 1 before your senior year in high school. A coach is limited to one phone call per week except that unlimited phone calls may be made: • During the five days immediately before your official visit to the university; • On the day of a coach’s off-campus contact with you. • During the time beginning with the National Letter of Intent signing date through the two days after the signing date and after a National Letter of Intent or scholarship agreement is signed. A Prospect of Any Age Could Receive the Following From a Coach: • Questionnaire • Camp brochure • NCAA educational information • Business Card • None-athletics institutional publications After September 1 of a Prospect’s Junior Year, a Coach Could Provide: • Written correspondence, including letters and e-mails • Game programs (only on an official or unofficial visit) • Media Guide • Official academic, admission and student services publications and videotapes produced by the institution and are available to all students • Any other information my be provided via the institution’s web site.

WHO IS PERMITTED TO RECRUIT FOR FLORIDA STATE?

Only Florida State University coaches who have successfully completed the NCAA Recruiting Rules Examination on an annual basis may be involved in the recruitment process. Boosters may not make any recruiting contacts. This includes letters, telephone calls or face-to-face contact on or off campus with a prospect or the prospect’s parents.

ALUMNI AND BOOSTERS DO’S AND DON’TS

* You may forward information about prospective studentathletes to the appropriate coaches. * You may have contact with a prospect regarding permissible pre-enrollment activities such as summer employment, provided the prospect has already signed a National Letter of Intent and the Compliance Office is aware you are making these contacts in regard to employment. * You may 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 athletic programs to an athletics department staff member/coach. * You may view a prospect’s 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. * You may continue established family relationships with friends and neighbors. Contacts with sons and daughters of these families are permitted as long as they are not made for recruiting purposes or encouraged by Florida State University coaches. * You may not become involved in making arrangements to receive money or financial aid of any kind for a prospect or the prospect’s family and friends. * You may not make contact with a prospective studentathlete and his/her parents when the prospect is on campus for an official or unofficial recruiting visit. * You may not transport, pay or arrange for payment of transportation costs for a prospect and his/her relatives or friends to visit campus (or elsewhere). * You may not pay or arrange for payment of summer camp registration fees for a prospect. * You may not provide anything to a prospect, the prospect’s family or friends without prior approval from the Compliance Office.

An athlete can expect to receive the best care and treatment possible with the athletic training team at Florida State. Prior to competition, all FSU student-athletes undergo screening in order to detect any potential injuries. If a problem is detected, the athlete may be placed on a prevention care system, which may include any kind of treatment from icing to exercising. Though the prevention of injuries is the main objective, some injuries are unavoidable. Rehabilitation is another component of the Florida State training room. The FSU athletic training staff will work with the athlete and provide an intense rehabilitation schedule that will allow the athlete to successfully rehabilitate after an injury. Some injuries and illnesses may be referred to the Seminole team physicians at the Tallahassee Orthopedic Center who, for many years, have worked in conjunction with the FSU athletic training staff in successfully rehabilitating athletes after an injury. Nutrition counseling and drug testing are also responsibilities of the athletic training team which is dedicated to providing the best care possible for all FSU student-athletes.

TRAINING ROOM

Florida State Athletic Training has experienced a very exciting time as construction on the brand new Don Fauls Athletic Training Room was completed in the spring of 2005. The 15,000 square foot athletic training room is housed off Doak Campbell Football Stadium and is used by all 19 Seminole varsity teams. This facility is adequately equipped with the latest advances that the field of sports medicine has to offer. Some of the attractions include an in-house pharmacy, x-ray machine and two physician evaluation rooms. There is also a 4,000 square foot rehabilitation room with the latest version of a Biodex isokinetic testing machine. The treatment area includes 24 treatment tables with various modalities, computer injury tracking devices, and 18 taping benches. Florida State’s athletes have ample accessibility for aquatic therapy as the Don Fauls Athletic Training Room includes a 8’ x 40’ in-ground workout pool, a 9’ x 16’ in-ground cold whirlpool, a 9’ x 16’ in-ground warm whirlpool, and nine extremity whirlpools. Graduate Assistant Emmylou Philmon enters her first season in charge of Florida State swimming and diving team. Philmon graduated from FSU in the fall of 2007 with a degree in athletic training. As a student she gained valuable experience working with the men’s and women’s cross country teams, women’s soccer and softball. Philmon was also part of the training staff for swimming and diving in 2006 and was with the women’s team in 2006 when they won their first ACC Championship.

Philmon took advantage of the opportunity to step away from Florida State and work a rotation at Chiles High School in Tallahassee. During her time there she worked with football, soccer and basketball. She also spent two summers at a physical therapy clinic in Rockledge, Ill. Philmon is a nationally certified NATA-BOC athletic trainer and is certified in CPR and first aid. She is continuing her education in Florida State’s sport management master’s program.

HEAD COACH NEIL HARPER

Why did you come to Florida State? “I had been here as an assistant, I put in three years of recruiting and I left to take my first head coaching job at Ohio State which was a lot of fun, but I had some kids that I had recruited and sort of walked out on and there was a big contingency of those swimmers that wanted me to come back to Florida State again so that was the main thing. As a coach, I aspired to be a conference champion and to move up in the NCAA rankings. I thought that FSU had the university, academic programs, athletic department and facilities to let that happen. I think back then there was an excitement to get back to FSU and pick up where I left off.” What has been your most memorable moment on the women’s side? “When the women won it had been six years and we had worked hard to get the team where we wanted it to be. When it all came together it seemed like the hard work had really paid off. To get to the culmination of the ACC’s and do go through a three and a half day meet and for everyone to pour in their blood, sweat and tears and for us to come out on top is just a great achievement.” What has been your most memorable moment on the men’s side? “On the men’s side it was just one of those things where the women did it the year before and we were wondering if the men were ever going to do it. That year everyone believed, bought in and being in the locker room by ourselves staring each other down, no words needed to be said it was one of those things where emotions took over and you were on cloud nine.” Who is the best male athlete you have coached not currently on the roster? “Stephen Parry was probably the best athlete simply because he was not only an NCAA Champion and an Olympic bronze medalist, but apart from breaststroke he could do it all. He held numerous school records in different events and strokes and he was your go to guy. He was FSU’s equivalent to having a Michael Phelps. He was your trump card because you could put him in any event if you needed a win.” Who is the best female athlete you have coached not currently on the roster? “I’d have to go with Emma Dutton because she could do it all. She was an ACC Champion in the breaststrokes and the 50 free and she could swim the 100 and 200 free as well the 200 IM. She had the ability to swim all five relays at ACC’s or be in six or seven events if the rules allowed it.” When you look back at your first nine years at Florida State what do you think about? “To come full circle and to put in basically 9-10 years of hard work and a lot of recruiting talking kids into coming here without our own pool, it is very gratifying to see the support of the boosters, alumni and administration has made this happen. Thanks to their support and generous donations, the kids today have a great facility and their options of what they can do and where they can be is phenomenal. I’m going to make sure everyday that I appreciate what we have and I realize where we have come from and we need to make the most of it.”

DIVING COACH PATRICK JEFFREY

Why did you come to Florida State? “I was ready to move on from the age-group level to the collegiate level and Florida State has a great tradition of athletics so this was a wonderful place to land. Another big factor for coming here was Neil Harper. He’s very supportive of diving and many swimming and diving programs are not and he has always told me he will be supportive and he’s really backed that up during the last 10 years.” What has been your most memorable moment on the men’s side? “On the men’s side it was definitely Terry [Horner] winning the National Championship. That was a huge accomplishment for us as a program to get a kid out of Florida to win a title for us. With so many schools recruiting internationally now I think it says a lot we were able to do that with someone from Florida.” What has been your most memorable moment on the women’s side? “When our girls went 1-2-3-4-5 at the conference meet in 2004. Everything came together just how we had trained and a couple of those girls went on to be All-Americans. That particular day was a great accomplishment for me as a coach and us as a program. That day also changed the complexion of diving in our conference. A bunch of swim coaches went out and got new diving coaches because of that and now the ACC is a much more competitive diving conference.” Who is the best athlete you have coached not currently on the roster? “I just really feel like we’ve gotten better and better and I feel like I’m working with the best athletes that I have had. The kids that came before were integral to get us to where we are now so it has been a building process with every athlete that I’ve coached.” When you look back at your first nine years at Florida State what do you think about? “Our program is growing culturally where our kids now are more serious about diving. Our program has gone from being in old facilities while our athletic department has really rallied around our team with the new facility and everything that we have available to us through the strength and conditioning center, the training room, academic support and the expanded coaching staff. Our facilities are state-of-the-art and one of the best in the world so I think we have worked very hard to put everything in place and within the next several years you’re going to see a huge jump in our results.”
