HEAD COACH JOHN HARGIS
John
HARGIS 4th Year Head Coach Auburn ‘99
For just the fourth time in the 40 years of Penn State swimming and diving, it welcomed a new head coach. John Hargis took over the program as the first new coach in 10 years and led both the men’s and women’s squads to solid seasons in 2008-09 and enters his third season in 2010-11. His first year at the helm was a highly successful one, leading both programs to national rankings throughout the season. The women’s program was as high as 15th heading into the NCAA Championships where six Nittany Lions competed along with five on the men’s side. Vincent Reydams, Patrick Schirk, Jason Goldner, Basil Kaaki, and Brian Alden all received Honorable Mention All-American to lead the Lions to a 32nd place finish. The women placed 38th led by two Honorable Mention All-American finishes from Kelly Nelson and one from Kaitlin O’Brien. In addition, the men’s and women’s squads combined to break an astonishing 14 school records in Hargis’ first season. Hargis returned to Happy Valley where he was an assistant coach at Penn State from 2003-06 before moving onto Arkansas-Little Rock where he was named head women’s swimming coach in February of 2007. He was also the head coach and the chief executive officer of the Little Rock Arkansas Dolphins club swimming program. “John has demonstrated that he has the ability to continue the success of our swimming program both athletically and academically,” said Director of Athletics Tim Curley at the time of his hire. “He has been a swimmer at the highest level, having won an Olympic gold medal, and he also has a large array of experience as a coach, both at the collegiate and the club levels. We are extremely pleased to welcome John and his wife, Lauren, and son John back to Happy Valley and are prepared to help him keep our swimming programs moving forward” “We are delighted to have John Hargis return to Penn State as our new head coach of men’s and women’s swimming,” said Susan Delaney-Scheetz, Penn State Associate Director of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrator. “John’s knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for swimming and Penn State will enable him to take the program to new heights.” With Hargis at the helm, he became just the second head swimming coach at Penn State since the men’s and women’s swimming programs were merged into one following the 2000-01 season. He is Penn State’s fourth head women’s coach of all-time and just the sixth head coach in men’s program history.
“I am glad to be back in the blue and white of Penn State and it is exciting to be back in the tradition of excellence that Penn State provides, both athletically and academically,” said Hargis prior to last season. “Both my family and I are excited to once again be part of the Penn State culture and we look forward to continuing the tradition that has been set by those before us in the swimming program.” Hargis left his assistant post at Penn State in September of 2006 to take over the Arkansas Dolphins premier swim club, which was also his former club team. In that role, he directed the program to the overall team state long course title in 2007, winning both the men’s and women’s team title for only the second time in program history. He also led both the men’s and women’s teams to the overall team state short course title in 2008, securing the Dolphins their first back-to-back combined state titles in their 48 year history. He joined Arkansas-Little Rock as an assistant coach in November of 2006 before being elevated to head coach in February of 2007. While heading the Trojan program, which competes in the Sun Belt Conference, the women’s team was recognized by the Collegiate Swimming Coaches Association of America for having a team GPA of over 3.0 in both the fall and spring semesters. While with the Nittany Lions, Hargis was on the staff that led the women’s team to back-to-back Big Ten Championships in 2005 and 2006. He coached several NCAA, Olympic Trials and U.S. Nationals qualifiers and also directed all aspects of men’s recruiting. Hargis was instrumental in helping recruit 2008 NCAA Champion Patrick Schirk to Penn State. He also assisted with several other aspects and day-to-day operations of the program, including the creation and implementation of a training regimen for both the men’s and women’s sprinters, breaststroke and IM swimmers. Prior to arriving at Penn State, Hargis was an assistant coach at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas for two years during the 2002-03 season where he also coached NCAA, Olympic and U.S. Nationals qualifiers and guided the Mountain West Conference Male Swimmer of the Year. He was the head age group coach for the Raleigh Swimming Association club team for two years prior to his stint at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. Before that, he served for three years as an assistant to the athletic director at his alma mater, Auburn University. A native of Little Rock, Ark., Hargis is a 1999 graduate of Auburn with a degree in health promotion/sports management. Hargis is one of the most touted swimmers to ever come out of the

Craig
BROWN 26th Year Diving Coach Penn State ‘81
Craig Brown, a two-time Big Ten Diving Coach of the Year, enters his 25th season at the helm of the Nittany Lion divers.
As a scholastic diver, Brown was the Pennsylvania state champion in 1977 and the Bux-Mont League Champion in 1975 and 1976. He won the YMCA national one-meter championship in 1977 and was the District I titlist in 1976. A two-time Junior Olympic finalist, he also earned All-Bux-Mont honors in soccer and in football as a placekicker. Brown graduated from Penn State with a degree in Environmental Resource Management and worked from 1982-85 as an inventory control and purchasing manager with the Moreland Corporation in Willow Grove, Pa. He also was an assistant quality control manager and production supervisor with Moreland. Brown has two children, an 11-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter.
Brown has consistently produced quality divers that have represented Penn State at the conference and national level. Since taking over the diving program in 1986, he has sent 18 divers to the NCAA Championships, with at least one in all but four seasons since 1988. In 1995 and 1998, he coached three divers to the NCAA Championships. He helped Chris Devine to the one-meter Big Ten title in 1994 and a third place NCAA finish. More recently, he guided Drew Jackson to four consecutive trips to the NCAAs from 1995-98. Four years ago, he coached Penn State’s first Big Ten diving champion since Devine in 1994 as Mike Alderman, who graduated in 2007, won the one-meter event. Alderman also qualified for the U.S. Open Diving Championships that year. Then, Alderman wrapped up his career with a pair of top eight finishes on the springboards at Big Ten’s and once again qualified for NCAA’s. His younger sister, Meg, is a current member of the Nittany Lion diving family. Brown also helped another diver, Adam Pierce, qualify for the NCAA Championships in 2006, where he was Penn State’s lone representative and made the best of it. He placed 15th in the three-meter diving event to pick up two points for the Nittany Lions. Pierce was a twotime NCAA qualifier. Brown has recently developed Kim Peifer into one of the top divers in the Big Ten. Peifer walked on to the diving team after being a member of the Penn State track and field team for her first two years. She went on to score points on the three-meter board at Big Ten’s two years ago. Brown was the 1994 Big Ten Diving Coach of the Year and was also named the 1999 Big Ten Diving Coach of the Year after coaching Jaime Jaax to the Big Ten three-meter title, the first Nittany Lion woman to win a Big Ten diving title. Overall, Brown has coached 12 different divers that have qualified for NCAA Championships Brown headed the men’s and women’s diving programs at Penn from 1983-85 in his first collegiate coaching post.
