MEDIA INFORMATION The 2014-15 LSU swimming and diving media guide was written to provide members of the media with statistics and information needed to cover the LSU swimming and diving teams. If you need further information or wish to setup an interview with head swimming coach David Geyer, head diving coach Doug Shaffer, assistant coaches Chris Ip or Jeana Fuccillo as well as any of the student-athletes, please contact Brandon Berrio in the LSU Sports Information Department at (225) 578-8226/bberri1@lsu.edu Team practices are open to the media, usually beginning at 2 p.m., and concluding around 4 p.m. Co-head coaches David Geyer and Doug Shaffer reserve the right to close practices at their discretion. Members of the media should contact Berrio at least one day in advance if they plan to attend practice. Members of the media with video cameras are only allowed to shoot practice in the grandstands on the east side of the natatorium (side closest to the tennis courts) or in the bleachers in front of the diving well near the west side entrance. Interviews are typically conducted following the conclusion of practice. Admission to all LSU home meets is free, and no credential access is needed. Members of the media are asked to enter through the front entrance and sit in the grandstands on the east side. Meet notes will be provided on a table near the front entrance. Post-meet interviews will normally be conducted following the meet in front of the press box and diving bleachers. Athletes will be available upon request but may be unavailable until the teams are finished warming down.
IMAGES Members of the media can obtain high resolution photos on all LSU coaches and studentathletes as well as official LSU logos on the Internet at http://media.lsusports.net. The site features head shots and action shots of all LSU athletes. To gain access to the database, contact Brandon Berrio for a login name and password.

Since 1982, the Southeastern Conference has placed 94 women’s teams in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships. At the 2014 NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming & Diving Championships, Florida, Georgia and the University of Auburn each finished within the top 10 teams at the event, marking the 45th consecutive season in which the SEC has placed at least one men’s team in the top 10. Since 1969, 118 SEC teams have finished in the NCAA’s top 10. In addition, four individual titles was captured by an SEC student-athlete.

The Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is at the forefront of today’s educational technology. Since the spring of 2009, the academic center has upgraded over 170 computers, including both PC and Mac.
Media Training
The Library
The library provides a perfect setting for individual study, or with a tutor as a group.
LSU is one of the few schools where student-athletes go through media training to enhance their communication skills. Dr. Tommy Karam and Dr. Shirley White are two experts in the field who give training sessions to student-athletes here on campus. The Academic Center features a mock press conference setting to get student-athletes acclimated to giving interviews in front of both print and electronic media. Karam and White record the mock interviews on camera and then provide feedback, allowing student-athletes to become more comfortable and confident when doing actual interviews.
Academic Center
A $15 million renovation to the Gym Armory in 2002 not only made it among the nation’s premier academic centers, but put it at the forefront. Improvements to the existing center give LSU studentathletes the best opportunity for success by providing access to the latest technology, as well as an array of expanded services.

LSU Natatorium Opened in the summer 1985, the LSU Natatorium has served as the exclusive home of the swimming and diving teams for the past 26 seasons. The complex features a 50-meter pool, which can be converted into two 25-meter or 25-yard pools with the use of bulkheads. Furthermore, the facility houses a championship diving well, which was completely renovated in the summer 2003 with one- and three-meter springboards and five-, seven- and 10-meter platforms. The programs added new graphics and signage throughout the venue in the fall 2011 and upgraded the scoring system in the fall 2008, unveiling a pair of state-of-the-art
videoboards. Refurbished locker rooms were also completed in September 1998. The spacious locker rooms feature separate varsity lockers, both for men and women, and include public showers and locker areas. The facility has played host to several national competitions, including the 1985 National Sports Festival, the 1986 Men’s Southeastern Conference Championships, the 1987 NCAA Diving Regional and the U.S. Diving National Championships in the spring 1987.

On the Prowl Mike the Tiger was recently ranked in the top three in a Bleacher Report poll of college football’s top live mascots. Mike’s habitat is one of the most visited attractions in the state of Louisiana located in the shadows of the north endzone of Tiger Stadium.
Mike THE TIGER
History of Mike
Few mascots in the country are as admired as Mike the Tiger. LSU’s live Bengal mascot serves as the graphic image of all LSU athletic teams. The school has had six mascots, with the most recent, Mike VI, taking over the reign prior to the 2007 national championship football season. LSU veterinarian Dr. David Baker began the search for the young tiger after his predecessor, Mike V, died in May 2007 of renal failure at the age of 17. The nine-yearold Bengal/Siberian mix, formerly known as “Roscoe,” was donated to LSU by Great Cats of Indiana in Idaville, Ind., a nonprofit sanctuary and rescue facility for big cats and other large carnivores. Mike’s ride through Tiger Stadium before home games in a travel trailer topped by the LSU cheerleaders is a school tradition. Before entering the stadium, his trailer on wheels is parked next to the opponent’s locker room in the southeast end of the stadium. Opposing players must make their way past Mike’s trailer to reach their locker room. Tradition dictates that the Tigers will score a touchdown for every growl issued by Mike before a football game. For many years, Mike was prompted to roar by pounding on the cage. Objections of cruel punishment brought about the use of recorded growls

1936-1956 Trainer and namesake Mike Chambers with Mike I housed in City Park Zoo. to play to the crowd before the games. That practice was discontinued shortly afterward and today Mike participates in the pregame tradition without provocation. In the mid-1980’s, pranksters cut the locks on Mike IV’s cage and freed him in the early-morning hours just days before the annual LSU-Tulane clash. Mike roamed free, playfully knocking down several small pine trees in the area, before being trapped in the Bernie Moore Track Stadium where police used tranquilizer guns to capture and return the Bengal Tiger to his home. The incident was reminiscent of a kidnapping of Mike I many years ago by Tulane students before a Tiger-Green Wave battle.

Mike I
Prior to kickoff Mike VI and the LSU cheerleaders parade around the field of Tiger Stadium.
The original Mike was purchased from the Little Rock Zoo in 1936 for $750, with money contributed by the student body. Originally known as “Sheik” at the time of his purchase, his name was changed to Mike to honor Mike Chambers who served as LSU’s athletic trainer when the first mascot was purchased. The first Mike was housed in the Baton Rouge Zoo for one year before a permanent home was constructed near Tiger Stadium. Mike I reigned for 20 years before dying of pneumonia.
Mike’s Habitat In 2005, a new environment (above) was created for Mike that is 15,000 square feet in size with lush planting, a large live oak tree, a beautiful waterfall and a stream evolving from a rocky backdrop overflowing with plants and trees. The habitat has, as a backdrop, an Italianate tower - a campanile - that creates a visual bridge to the Italianate architectural vernacular that is the underpinning of the image of the entire beautiful LSU campus. This spectacular habitat features state-of-the-art technologies, research, conservation and husbandry programs, as well as educational, interpretive and recreational activities. It is, in essence, one of the largest and finest Tiger habitats in the United States.
Sneaux Day On Dec. 11, 2008, a winter storm blanketed Baton Rouge that hadn’t been seen in decades. The early white Christmas gave Mike VI, LSU’s live Bengal/Siberian tiger, a chance to relax and play in nearly two inches of accumulation.

The second Mike served a brief reign, lasting only through the 1957 season before dying of pneumonia in the spring of 1958. He was born at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans and came to LSU on Sept. 28, 1956. The young tiger was held overnight in Tiger Stadium and unveiled Sept. 29, the opening day of the football season.
Just in time for the 1958 national championship season, Mike III was purchased from the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Wash., following a “national search” by then-athletic director Jim Corbett. The student body contributed $1,500 for the purchase of the tiger. Mike III served as mascot for 18 seasons, dying after the only losing season of his reign, as LSU posted a 5-6 record in 1975.
Mike IV reigned over Tiger athletics for 14 years after being donated to the school by August A. Busch III from the Dark Continent Amusement Park in Tampa, Fla, on Aug. 29, 1976. Born on May 15, 1974, Mike’s age and health were determining factors in his retirement to the Baton Rouge Zoo in 1990. Mike IV died of old age in March of 1995 at the age of 21.
Mike V was donated by Dr. Thomas and Caroline Atchison of the Animal House Zoological Park in Moulton, Ala. Dr. Sheldon Bivin of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine traveled to Alabama and brought the baby tiger back to Baton Rouge. Born Oct. 18, 1989, the new tiger was introduced to LSU fans at a basketball game against Alabama in February of 1990. He officially began his reign on April 30, 1990, when he was moved into the tiger habitat across from Tiger Stadium. Mike V died on May 18, 2007, at the age of 17.
Mike VI arrived in Baton Rouge on Aug. 25, 2007, thanks to the donation by Great Cats of Indiana. He was officially designated as the successor to Mike V on Sept. 8, when LSU played host to Virginia Tech. Six days later, on Sept. 14, 2007, a ceremony was held to honor Mike V and dedicate the habitat to Mike VI. The nine-year-old Bengal/ Siberian mix, formerly known as “Roscoe,” reigned over a football national title in his first year and most recently, a 2011 Southeastern Conference championship and perfect regular season.

Men’s basketball has retired the No. 23 for Pete Maravich, No. 50 for Bob Pettit, Jr., No. 33 for Shaquille O’Neal and No. 40 for Rudy Macklin. Women’s basketball retired the No. 33 for Seimone Augustus. Football’s only two retired jerseys are the No. 20 worn by Billy Cannon and the No. 37 worn by Tommy Casanova. Baseball retired the No. 15 in honor of longtime coach and former athletics director Skip Bertman and the No. 19 for Ben McDonald. Casanova, Macklin and McDonald joined the prestigious list in May 2009. Augustus became the first woman in LSU Athletics history to have her jersey retired in January 2010.
50 Bob Pettit
23 Pete Maravich
20 Billy Cannon
33 Shaquille O’Neal
15 Skip Bertman
40 Rudy Macklin
Pettit led LSU to its first NCAA Final Four in 1953 and he later became the first player in NBA history to exceed the 20,000-plus point barrier. Pettit is a member of the NBA Hall of Fame, and in 1997, he was named as one of the top 50 players in NBA history.
Shaquille O’Neal was the first pick in the 1992 NBA Draft. He was named MVP of the league in 2000 and was a three-time NBA Finals MVP after leading the Los Angeles Lakers to three World Championships. At LSU, O’Neal averaged 21.6 points and 13.6 rebounds for his career, and in 1991, he was named the World’s Amateur Athlete of the Year as well as SEC Athlete of the Year and National Player of the Year. In 1997, he was named as one of the top 50 players in NBA history.
“Pistol Pete,” Maravich still holds the NCAA record for career points with 3,667 and for career scoring average with 44.2 points a game. He was selected the National Player of the Year in 1970 after leading the Tigers to the NIT Final Four. He scored 50-plus points an amazing 28 times. He went on to a 10-year professional career and was selected as one of the NBA’s 50 greatest players in 1997.
A legend in the college baseball ranks, Skip Bertman created a dynasty at LSU, guiding the Tigers to five national titles in a 10-year stretch from 1991-2000. He also coached the United States to a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and was an assistant on the gold medal-winning U.S. squad in Seoul, Korea, in 1988. Bertman retired from coaching following the 2001 season and served as LSU’s athletics director for seven years. Bertman was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006.
One of the true legends of college football in the South, Billy Cannon was the 1959 Heisman Trophy winner and helped the Tigers to the 1958 national title. Cannon’s most memorable performance came in 1959 against Ole Miss when No. 1 LSU trailed No. 3 Ole Miss 3-0 in the fourth quarter. He fielded a punt, broke seven tackles and returned it 89 yards for the 7-3 victory. He went on to a successful 11-year professional career.
Rudy Macklin was a two-time basketball All-American selection during his Tiger career from 1976-81 during which time he became LSU’s all-time leading rebounder with 1,276 boards and the secondleading scorer in school history behind only the legendary Pete Maravich with 2,080 points. He led the Tigers to two Elite Eight appearances and the 1981 Final Four in Philadelphia. He still holds the school single game rebound record with 32, a mark like some of the great records in any sport that may never be broken.

2014-15 SWIMMING & DIVING MEDIA GUIDE
About LSU Retired Jerseys The retirement of the jerseys of Casanova, McDonald, Macklin and Augustus comes under a new provision of the LSU jersey retirement bylaws that says the retirement of an athlete’s jersey in a particular sport does not preclude a current student-athlete in that sport from wearing the jersey number in that or any other sport, subject to the discretion of the head coach. This provision applies only to jerseys retired after January 1, 2007, so the numbers worn by Maravich, Pettit, O’Neal, Cannon and Bertman may never again be worn by future student-athletes in their respective sports. To have a jersey retired at LSU, an athlete must have completed intercollegiate competition for LSU a minimum of five years prior to nomination. Athletes must have demonstrated truly unusual and outstanding accomplishments, exceeding and in addition to all criteria used for Hall of Fame selection. Nominees must have a unanimous vote of support from the Hall of Fame committee.
37 Tommy Casanova
Tommy Casanova is the only three-time AllAmerican in the history of LSU football and is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame.

One of just two three-time All-SEC performers at LSU, he played six seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL while earning his medical degree.
19 Ben McDonald
Ben McDonald won the prestigious Golden Spikes Award, given annually to the nation’s most outstanding player, in 1989 and is a member of the College Baseball Hall of Fame. He led LSU to two College World Series appearances. In 1989, McDonald was named National Player of the Year by Baseball America, The Sporting News and Collegiate Baseball. He was selected by the Baltimore Orioles as the No. 1 pick in the major league draft in 1989 and went on to enjoy a 10-year major league career with the Orioles and the Milwaukee Brewers.

Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Joe Alleva
LSU
LSU Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Joe Alleva continues to bring unprecedented national recognition to LSU as Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. Under Alleva’s leadership, LSU enjoys one of the country’s premier athletics programs with success on and off the field of competition. Now in his seventh year at LSU, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence, and he is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for student-athletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. Alleva joined the LSU family on April 4, 2008, after a highly successful tenure as director of athletics at Duke University for 10 years. Alleva’s role at LSU was further expanded in August 2009 when vice chancellor was added to his title by the LSU Board of Supervisors. It is the first time in school history that the director of athletics has also held a vice chancellor position. Alleva is currently serving a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee, enhancing his reputation as one of the most respected athletic administrators in the country. Alleva has been appointed to numerous national committees throughout his career, including the Football Bowl Certification Committee, the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet and several Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference committees. Upon his arrival at LSU, Alleva unveiled a strategic master plan for the LSU athletics program -- “LSU: Thru and True” -- to ensure the advancement and future of LSU Athletics as an exemplary enterprise. The central mission of the plan is to create an environment for studentathletes to reach their ultimate potential, prepare them to be champions in life and to set out goals and values for the entire athletics program. Living up to Alleva’s mantra of “competition, classroom, community,” LSU student-athletes in 2013-14 logged more than 4,732 hours in community service work across 21 sports through LSU’s “Geaux Givers” program. And a total of 88 proud Tigers received their degrees from the university during LSU commencement ceremonies in December and May. LSU’s overall graduation success rate for all student-athletes has grown from 69 percent in 2008 to 81 percent in 2013. With a strong commitment to academics, Alleva ensures that the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is a first-class facility that provides student-athletes the resources necessary for success in the classroom and personal development. And with an emphasis on community service and outreach programs, the implementation under Alleva’s direction of the “Geaux Givers” fosters a relationship between the local community and LSU studentathletes, who regularly participate in philanthropic events. Alleva has bolstered the athletic department’s L-Club program to reach out and connect with former student-athletes, and he has supervised the thriving “Project Graduation” program in which many former student-athletes have returned to LSU to earn their degrees. Alleva’s tenure has been distinguished by a number of significant athletic achievements, including four straight 10-win seasons by the football team, a
baseball national championship and two College World Series berths, two consecutive women’s basketball Sweet 16 appearances, three gymnastics Super Six berths, a softball College World Series appearance and 15 NCAA Top 5 finishes indoors and outdoors by the men’s and women’s track and field teams. LSU under Alleva’s leadership claimed the 2009 baseball College World Series title, and the Tigers have earned 30 individual NCAA championships in the sports of men and women’s track and field, gymnastics, men’s golf and women’s golf. LSU has captured 12 Southeastern Conference team championships, including the 2011 football crown, and the Tigers have won 80 individual SEC titles during Alleva’s term. The Tigers in 2011-12 finished fourth in both the men’s and women’s Capital One Cup competition that identifies athletic excellence. LSU was one of only two schools in the country – and the only one in the SEC -- to rank in the top four in both categories. LSU’s prominence was evident again in the final 2013-14 Learfield Sports Director’s Cup standings that recognize the nation’s best athletic programs, as the Tigers finished in the Top 25 for the ninth consecutive year. LSU was the only school in the SEC to post a 10 win-season (10-3) in football, a 20-win season (20-14) in men’s basketball and a 40-win season (46-16-1) in baseball. The 2013 LSU football team recorded its seventh 10-win season in nine years and defeated Iowa in the Outback Bowl, the men’s basketball team earned 20 victories for the first time since 2009 and the baseball team won its fifth SEC Tournament title in seven years and was an NCAA Tournament National Seed for the third-straight season. The Lady Tiger basketball team earned his second consecutive Sweet 16 berth, and LSU gymnastics, led by National Coach of the Year D-D Breaux, enjoyed the finest season in its illustrious history,
finishing No. 3 in the nation. The LSU men’s golf team recorded its highest national finish since 1967 as the Tigers placed third at the NCAA Championships. The men’s track and field team placed fourth and the women’s team sixth at the NCAA Outdoor meet. The softball, volleyball, swimming and diving, women’s tennis and women’s golf teams each participated in NCAA postseason competition. The year was also highlighted by the inaugural season of the sand volleyball program, which gives more LSU female studentathletes the opportunity to compete at the intercollegiate level. Alleva’s vision will keep LSU among the nation’s leaders in athletic facilities. In the fall of 2014, LSU opens the expansion of the South End Zone of Tiger Stadium -- a project that adds premium seating, general public seating and two state-of-theart video boards -- continuing an effort to augment one of the most iconic venues in all of college sports. Since 2010, Alleva has directed an aggressive campaign to preserve and enhance the appearance of Tiger Stadium that has included the installation new windows, lighting systems, gating systems, and championship plazas. Under Alleva’s direction, LSU’s world-renowned track and field program in 2010 received a new running surface in Bernie Moore Stadium, and extensive renovations to the Maddox Field House in the spring of 2014 give the Tigers a firstclass indoor track and field venue. Alleva directed a major renovation to the University Club golf course that was completed in September 2010 and allows the LSU men’s and women’s golf teams to compete on one of the most challenging courses in the country. An overhaul of the LSU soccer facility was completed in the fall of 2011, converting the venue into fan-friendly venue that has attracted record-breaking crowds. Future plans include a new gymnastics practice facility, a new tennis complex featuring indoor
and outdoor courts and a modern Nutrition Center for Student-Athletes, a facility that will house full-time chefs and nutritionists and provide the best dietary selections for all Fighting Tiger competitors. Alleva is an innovator with bold ideas that benefit not only LSU but all of Greater Baton Rouge. He has been instrumental in the planning of the Bayou Country Superfest, a three-day country music concert and festival held in Tiger Stadium each spring. The event attracts more than 100,000 visitors to the LSU campus and makes a tremendous economic impact upon the local community. Alleva became director of athletics at Duke in 1998 and his impressive tenure there propelled the university into the ranks of America’s top all-around collegiate programs. Among his outstanding list of accomplishments includes the greatest 10-year period in Duke Athletics, winning more ACC and NCAA championships than in any other decade in school history. Alleva, whose hometown is Suffern, New York, majored in Finance at Lehigh University and received his bachelor’s degree in 1975. While at Lehigh, Alleva was the quarterback of the football team and team captain in 1974. Alleva also played on the Lehigh baseball team. He served as a graduate assistant football coach and earned an MBA in 1976. While at Duke, Alleva played a key role in Durham’s community sports scene. He started Little League Baseball in Durham over 20 years ago, and also began the American Legion baseball program. He is a member of the North Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame, Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall of Fame. Alleva and his wife, Annie, have three children, J.D., Jeff, and Jenny, and one granddaughter.

During the 2013-14 season, five total swimmers and divers qualified automatically for NCAA Championships. Four individual qualifiers and eight total qualifiers for the LSU women’s team marked the largest group since the 2010-11 season and the most in at least 18 years. The men and women also combined to break six school records. Kara Kopcso erupted on to the scene during her first year on campus.

He was instrumental in helping numerous athletes shatter program records and earn All-America honors while also playing a vital role in the recruitment of top-level international student-athletes. In 2008, Geyer trained former LSU standout and Olympian Miko Malberg prior to the Beijing Olympic Games where the former AllAmerican went on to set an Estonian national record in the 50-meter freestyle (22.37) and place 25th overall. He also traveled to Croatia for the 2008 European Short-Course Championships as a member of the Estonian National coaching staff where he guided Malberg to a pair of national records and helped an Estonian relay qualify for its first championship final at that competition. Geyer graduated from Shippensburg with a bachelor’s degree in psychology in 1999 before receiving his master’s degree in counseling in 2001. He is married to the former Lyndi Croft of State College, Pa. The couple has two daughters, Maddilyn (10) and Kayda (6).
