THE SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE Setting the Standard for Intercollegiate Athletics in Swimming and Diving
Over the course of several decades, the Southeastern Conference has been a constant force in swimming and diving. Last season, Georgia won its seventh overall NCAA Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships, the Lady Bulldogs’ third in the last four years. Texas A&M finished in fourth place for the fourth consecutive year, while Missouri came in 11th place and Tennessee took 13th place. Florida came in 19th place, while Kentucky rounded out the top 25 for the SEC by placing 22nd. On the women’s side, the SEC’s total of NCAA individual titles now stands at 251. Since 1982, the Southeastern Conference has placed 99 women’s teams in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships. At the 2016 NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming & Diving Championships, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri and Auburn each earned spot within the top 10 teams at the event, marking the 47th consecutive season in which the SEC has placed at least one men’s team in the top 10. Since 1969, 128 SEC teams have finished in the NCAA’s top 10.

COACHES
DAVE GEYER CO-HEAD COACH AND HEAD SWIMMING COACH SEVENTH SEASON AS CO-HEAD COACH (TWELFTH AT LSU) When Dave Geyer was promoted to co-head coach of the LSU men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs alongside Doug Shaffer in April 2010, he envisioned a pair of teams that could consistently compete among the top 15 in the nation and top five in the Southeastern Conference. In the last six seasons as head coach of the LSU swimming team, Geyer has led the men and women to 55 school records. Geyer, entering his seventh season as head swimming coach, has put the men’s and women’s swimming teams on the map, both nationally and in the SEC. In back-to-back seasons now, Geyer has led the program to new heights with the largest group sent to NCAA Championships. In 2016, Geyer led the women’s team to a 12-1 record for the most dual meet wins in a single season. In addition to the success in the pool, Geyer and Shaffer’s program has excelled in the classroom, as witnessed by 112 student-athletes named to the Southeastern Conference Winter Academic Honor Roll and 38 student-athletes on the SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll. The 2015-16 season marked one of the best for Geyer’s swimming team with three NCAA All-American honors and 11 Championship qualifiers. In the pool, the men and women also combined to break 13 school records. Logan Rysemus set school records individually in the 100 fly, 100 back and was a part of the 200 and 400 medley relay teams. Rysemus went on to earn NCAA Honorable Mention All-American honors in the 100 fly and 100 back in his junior season. For the women, Leah Troskot qualified for NCAA Championships and finished 13th in the 100 free for honorable mention honors. The Alberta, Canada native also helped lead the 800 free and 400-medley relay teams to school records as the final leg.
Fellow captain Amber Carter also shined in her final season as a Lady Tiger. Carter earned Honorable Mention All-America honors at NCAA Championships in the 100 fly. Carter also tied the school record in the event during prelims of NCAA’s. In addition to her performance at NCAA’s, Carter helped set the school record in the 400-medley relay at SEC’s.

COACHES
Kara Kopcso dominated in the pool for LSU with three individual records, a relay record and an NCAA Honorable Mention AllAmerica honor. Kopcso finished 12th overall in the 200 fly for her All-America performance and school record. The Mandeville, Louisiana native also set records individually in the 200 IM and 400 IM.
At SEC’s, Tuomola (100 breast) captured a bronze medal for LSU. Tuomola nailed a fifth place swim in the 50 free with a time of 19.76, which was his highest SEC finish in the event. He also took eighth in the 100 free. Hamilton took fourth in the mile with a time of 14:53.10 and finished sixth in the 500 free with a time 4:19.57.
During the 2012-13 season, both programs enjoyed postseason success. The men’s program broke eight team records and the women’s team broke two team records.
Freshman Danielle Stirrat picked up LSU’s 200 back record with an NCAA ‘B’ cut time of 1:55.21 and touched second in the ‘C’ final. The rookie also picked up LSU’s third fastest all-time 200 free time of 1:47.12 in a third place finish in the ‘C’ final.
The LSU men’s team sent four individual qualifiers and a pair of NCAA ‘A’ relay teams to NCAA’s. The eight total competitors marked the largest LSU contingent with Geyer and Shaffer at the helm.
Bussey achieved LSU’s second fastest ever 100 breast time of 1:00.30 and took second in the consolation final. Bussey finished sixth in the consolation final of the 200 IM with a time of 1:59.67.
At the NCAA Championships, all three individual qualifying swimmers scored points at the meet and guided LSU to a 26th place finish with 24 team points overall. The 26th place finish marked the second top-26 finish in the past three seasons.
The 2010-11 and 2011-12 LSU men’s team finished the SEC Championships in the top-five in consecutive seasons for the first time since the 1998-99 and 1999-00 campaigns. Similarly, the 2010-11 and 2011-12 women’s team enjoyed the finest two-year run within the conference since the 1992-93 and 1993-94 seasons.
Distance swimmer Craig Hamilton picked up LSU’s first NCAA First-Team All-American honor since 2007. Hamilton finished seventh in the 1650 freestyle with a season low swim of 14:49.12 and scored 12 team points.
In 2011-12, seven women, including six underclassmen, and two men qualified for the national meet. The team collectively broke six records. Eight LSU swimmers and two newcomers competed at the 2012 US Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb.
Over the course of his career at LSU, Hamilton swam the 10 fastest mile times in LSU history and left LSU with four program records, including a mile time of 14:45.94. The Edinburgh, Scotland native steadily improved in the event each year, beginning with a last place finish at NCAA’s his freshman year and ending with three straight top-16 finishes.
In 2010-11 the LSU women’s team delivered its highest NCAA finish in 18 seasons, registering 14th at the 2011 NCAA Championships. Eight swimmers earned invitations to the national meet -- LSU’s highest qualifying contingent in more than 15 years -- and five athletes combined to claim 14 All-America honors. In 2010-11, Jane Trepp became the first swimmer in program history to capture NCAA first-team All-America status in all three of her individual races in a single season with top-eight finishes in the 50 free, 100 fly and 100 breast. Amanda Kendall joined her teammate Trepp as a first-team All-American in the 100 fly, won the consolation final of the 100 free and also posted a top-16 finish in the 50 free.
Andrei Tuomola arrived at LSU with his eyes set on capturing three individual long standing records and left the Tigers as a record holder in three individual events and two relay events. After a quartet of NCAA Honorable Mention All-American honors his freshman season, Tuomola earned a pair of individual AllAmerican awards with top-16 finishes in the 50 free and the 100 breaststroke. In the process, Tuomola shattered LSU’s 25 year-old 50 free record with a time of 19.57, broke LSU’s 16 year-old 100 breast record with a time of 52.76 and tied LSU’s 25 year-old record in the 100 free with a time of 43.22.
Prior to the accomplishments of Trepp and Kendall at NCAA’s, the LSU women’s program had not seen an individual swimming All-American since 1997, and both boasted top times ranked in the top 10 nationally in their three best races by the end of the season.
Greeff earned his first career NCAA Honorable Mention AllAmerican honor and became LSU’s third All-American in the 200 fly with a time of 1:44.06, which placed him 12th. On the women’s side, junior Torrey Bussey qualified for the NCAA Championships individually. Bussey was joined on the 200 medley relay by junior Rainey White, sophomore Amber Carter and freshman Caley Oquist. After returning from an offseason injury, Bussey qualified for her third consecutive national championships. The Cary, N.C., native placed 21st in the 100 breaststroke (1:00.45) at the NCAA Championships, which marked her highest finish in the event at the national meet. At the first SEC Championships since conference expansion, LSU’s men’s team finished in sixth place with a team total of 753.5 points. The women’s team came in seventh with a composite score of 494. The men’s team broke seven records at the meet (two of which were broken again at NCAA’s) and the women’s team broke one record.
Under Geyer’s guidance, Kendall exploded on the International scene after her performances at the 2011 ConocoPhillips US Nationals and the 2011 Pan American Games. Kendall achieved three Pan Am Games records in the 4x100meter free (3:40.66), 4x200-meter free (8:01.18) and 4x100-meter medley (4:01.00) relay. She also earned a gold medal in the 100 free with a lifetime best of 54.75. Her 100 free mark was the seventh fastest time in the 100 free by an American in the 2011 cycle. Kendall qualified for the Pan Am Games after setting four lifetime bests and placing in four finals at the 2011 National Championships. She made the ‘A’ Final and finished seventh overall with a time of 55.08 in the 100m free and competed in the consolation finals of the 50m free (25.84), 100m butterfly (1:00.00) and 200m free (2:00.14). On the men’s side, Hannes Heyl and Hamilton gave the Tigers a 26th-place finish at NCAA’s, their highest finish since 2005.

COACHES
Heyl proved to be one of the top 100 butterfly performers in the country, racing to a new program record of 45.77 in the NCAA prelims before collecting his first career first-team All-America accolade with a seventh-place finish in the championship final. Hamilton took 15th and acquired his first career honorable mention All-America honor in the 1650 free. In addition to their success at NCAA’s, the men’s and women’s teams burst onto the scene and turned some heads both nationally and in the conference with their stellar performances at the 2011 SEC Championships. The Lady Tigers and Tigers each placed fifth at SEC’s, marking the first time both teams posted top-five finishes at the conference championships in a single season since 2000. However, the squads stood out way beyond the team standings with a plethora of individual and relay accolades. At the conclusion of the four-day swimming competition, LSU swimmers combined to win an SEC individual championship, collecting 14 medals and shattering an SEC record and 12 program marks, while four athletes earned All-SEC recognition and two made the SEC All-Freshmen team.
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 placed 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).
No swimmer had a bigger impact than Trepp, who became the first Lady Tiger swimmer in 14 seasons to win an SEC title, and she did it in record-setting fashion, breaking the league mark with a blistering time of 58.94. The senior was just the ninth individual in U.S. Open history to reach the wall in under 59 seconds. Kendall raced to a pair of bronze medals in the 100 free and 100 fly and played a major role in helping the 200 medley and 200 free relays to medal finishes. Her 22.87 split on the fly leg of the 200 medley relay coupled with Trepp’s 26.57 breaststroke split spearheaded the squad of Ruimerman, Trepp, Kendall and Goates to second-place and an NCAA automatic qualifying time of 1:36.91. Haley was the bronze medal winner in the 200 fly with a then program-record 1:56.82 clocking. Haley went from 18th in the event as a freshman to third in the league in just one season under Geyer’s tutelage. Bussey, an SEC All-Freshmen Team performer and NCAA Qualifier, advanced to a pair of championship finals at the conference meet and broke program records in the 200 breast and 200 IM. Bussey was the Lady Tigers’ highest NCAA finisher in the 200 IM since 1997 and first swimmer to race in the 200 breast at the national competition since 2003. Heyl swam to a bronze medal in the 100 fly and reached the ‘A’ final of the 100 back with a personal best of 47.15, while Hamilton claimed his third program record at the conference meet with a 4:22.17 clocking in the 500 free. Furthermore, Trepp was named LSU’s most decorated scholarathlete as she was the school’s female nomination for the prestigious SEC H. Boyd McWhorter Postgraduate Scholarship, the highest academic honor bestowed by the conference each year. In addition to her phenomenal athletic accomplishments, the senior also sported a 3.8 cumulative grade point average in psychology. Prior to his promotion to co-head coach, Geyer spent five seasons as an assistant coach at LSU where he worked with all phases of the programs. 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.

DOUG SHAFFER Co-Head Coach and Head Diving Coach Seventh Season as Co-Head Coach (15th at LSU)
The LSU diving program is one of storied tradition, and no one has had a more profound impact in the Tigers’ recent success than Doug Shaffer. Entering his 15th overall season with LSU, Shaffer was promoted to co-head coach of the men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs along with Dave Geyer in April 2010 and enters his seventh season as head diving coach. After six seasons, Shaffer and Geyer have LSU on the path to becoming one of the nation’s elite programs. The 2016 season capped off one of the most successful career in the school’s diving history.

to the SEC All-Freshmen team, while Gemberling proved to be one of the most improved divers in the SEC in his sophomore campaign. In 2008-09, the Tigers’ diving coach helped one of his athletes earn an invitation to the NCAA Championships for the seventhconsecutive season as senior Niko Dalman competed at the national meet for the third time in his career. Dalman also added the school’s one-meter record to his collection and finished his career as the LSU record-holder in both the one- and three-meter springboard events. The 2007-08 season proved to be Shaffer’s finest season as the Tigers’ diving coach. Shaffer coached sophomore Rachel Ware to her third All-America accolade in two years with a 12th-place finish in the one-meter springboard at NCAA’s. His athletes also had a superb showing at SEC’s as a conference-high four LSU divers received medals for placing in the top three of their respective events. Ware and senior Paige Brown enjoyed two of the best competitions of their careers at that meet with both departing Tuscaloosa, Alabama as conference champions. Ware won the one-meter championship and captured the runner-up spot in the three-meter en route to SEC Female Diver of the Year honors. Brown beat out 20 other competitors to take the platform title with a school-record score of 300.30. Both were also named to the All-SEC first team, the first Lady Tigers to receive all-conference recognition since 2003. Shaffer earned the SEC Women’s Diving Coach of the Year award for his efforts in guiding the duo to conference excellence. Under Shaffer’s tutelage, the men’s side finished second in the points standings among diving teams at the conference meet, and a pair of Tiger divers reached the awards podium with recordshattering performances. Dalman took home a medal in the threemeter springboard, breaking a then-LSU record in the event with a score of 391.55 to place third. Freshman Michael Neubacher followed two days later with a runner-up finish in the platform competition, crushing the school record with a robust six-dive total of 431.55. Neubacher, the SEC’s highest scoring freshman, joined Ware, Dalman and Nathan Schreiber as the fourth-straight athlete in the Shaffer era to earn the distinction as the conference’s top freshman diver. Outside the pool, Brown truly exemplified the meaning of a studentathlete, joining a long list of former LSU divers who have excelled at the highest levels academically. The Zionsville, Indiana native, who graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in biological engineering, became the third LSU diver in two seasons to be named a finalist for the esteemed SEC H. Boyd McWorter Postgraduate Scholarship. Former standouts Hali Saucier and Andrew Keane were nominated in 2007. She was also the first athlete in school history to earn a spot in the exclusive Tiger Twelve, which recognizes 12 graduating seniors who have shown great academic success and contributed significantly to the Baton Rouge community, and received the Wally Pontiff Jr. Academic Excellence Award, which goes to the
school’s top scholar-athletes. In addition, Brown registered the team’s highest grade point average and was selected to give the commencement speech at the engineering school’s graduation in 2008. Shaffer’s list of Tiger All-Americans began in 2002-03 upon his arrival. His guidance enabled three divers to earn five NCAA All-American performances, including junior Jessica Wantz and seniors Barb Gorst and Kyle VanArsdall. The following season Shaffer guided Wantz to a third-place finish overall in the three-meter at NCAA’s, which gave her first-team AllAmerica honors. A third career All-America finish followed in the one-meter. In 2004-05, Dalman entered his freshman season with little experience. Seven months later, he embarked on a 12th-place finish as an All-American in the one-meter. He also became the first diver in school history to be named SEC Freshman Diver of the Year. Dalman added to his accolades with a top-12 finish in the platform at the 2006 NCAA Championships. Shaffer was no stranger to leading a successful collegiate diving program before taking the job in Baton Rouge. He was the head coach at UCLA in 1988-89 and then at the University of Minnesota from 1989-96. Shaffer experienced a great deal of success at Minnesota as he was honored as Big Ten Diving Coach of the Year three times – twice on the women’s side and once for the men’s team. Shaffer coached 11 Big Ten champions, 29 All-Americans and two NCAA champions while at Minnesota. He was named NCAA Diving Coach of the Year in 1993. Shaffer also coached three Pac-10 champions and four All-Americans during his tenure at UCLA. He has coached the United States in numerous international competitions since 1989, including the U.S. National Diving teams in China, Sweden, Spain and the United States. Shaffer served as the assistant competition manager during the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta and was recruited to be the head diving coach at the High Performance Center in Sheffield, England. There, he coached five Olympians on the Lottery Funded World Class Performance Program but declined a four-year contract extension for the opportunity to coach at LSU. Shaffer graduated from UCLA in 1986 with a B.A. degree in history. He was an 11-time U.S. National champion, the 1986 NCAA Diver of the Year and the NCAA one-meter and three-meter champion in 1986 for the Bruins. One of the few divers to defeat the legendary Greg Louganis, Shaffer ousted the four-time Olympian five times in 1987, three of which were in U.S. National competition. Shaffer was a silver medalist in the three-meter at the 1987 Pan American Games and won a gold medal at the 1987 USA-USSR dual meet in the three-meter competition. An Olympic Trials finalist in 1984 and 1988, he retired from competition in 1988 and moved into the nation’s coaching ranks.
