2011 UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI ROWING ROSTER

UNIVERSIT Y OF MIAMI ROWING

Andrew Carter Head Coach Second Season Andrew Carter enters into his second year with the University of Miami rowing program, serving as head coach of the Hurricanes. A former assistant coach at Clemson University, Carter was selected to be the next leader of the UM rowing program on July 30, 2009 by Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt. He brings to the Hurricanes program more than 20 years of coaching experience both on the collegiate and international levels of competition. Carter arrives to UM via Clemson University where he spent the 2008-09 season as an assistant coach with the Tigers program. He takes over the Hurricanes program for interim head coach Boban Rankovic who stepped in following the resignation of Robbie Tenenbaum. “Andrew Carter is a very experienced and highly-respected coach,” stated Kirby Hocutt, UM Director of Athletics. “He has a proven background and a wealth of experience as an NCAA Division III head coach, as well as being a top-level assistant on the Division I level. We are excited to welcome him to the UM family.” In his only year at Clemson, Carter worked closely with the varsity rowers, specializing in small boat training, biomechanical analysis, rigging, and technique screening. With the Tigers, Carter helped Clemson achieve a No. 9 national ranking going along with eight top-three finishes during the fall season, as well as helping the Tigers claim their first-ever Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Championship. With the ACC crown, the Tigers earned their first NCAA Championships appearance. Carter personally coached the Tigers’ Varsity 4+, 2009 NCAA Champions. Throughout his career, Carter has won more than 50 championship medals as a coach, in addition to coaching seven All-Americans and 17 National Scholar-Athletes in just the past nine years alone. “I’m very excited to join the team in the University of Miami Athletic Department, and am very appreciative of the opportunity made possible by Director of Athletics, Kirby Hocutt and Associate Directors, Connie Nickel and Tony Hernandez,” expressed Carter. “The University of Miami’s athletic department is clearly known to be among the elite programs in the country, and I’m very proud to become part of a department with such a tradition of excellence.” Prior to his one-year stint at Clemson, Carter spent seven years as head coach at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, where he was in charge of both men’s and women’s programs. At Bates, Carter led the women’s program from the doorstep of varsity status to back-to-back NCAA Championship appearances in only eight years. Under Carter’s guidance, the Bates men’s team became one of the top programs in any NCAA division. Among the student-athletes Carter coached at Bates was 2005 graduate Andrew Byrnes, who was a gold medalist for the Canadian National Team (men’s eight) at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. During the 2006-07 season, Carter spent a sabbatical year serving as the Director of Coach Development for Otago Rowing Association in Dunedin–the capital of Otago province in New Zealand. While working with Otaga Rowing, he also headed the regional high performance ID and development program. Before his time at Bates, Carter served as an assistant

coach at the University of Southern California during the 1999-2000 season. From 1996-1999, he served as head coach at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. In addition, Carter has coached various successful collegiate, club and provincial programs throughout his native country of Canada. Carter spent two years working at Canada’s National Rowing Center in London, Ontario prior to coming to the United States. His achievements as a rower and coach are well-documented, including numerous medals in many of North America’s major rowing competitions such as the National Invitational Championship, Dad Vail, Canadian Championship, Royal Canadian Henley and the Head of the Charles Regatta. “I couldn’t be more enthusiastic about the prospects at Miami,” continued Carter. “To be part of a program that has such support from both the University and Athletic Department is an incredible pleasure. The Department is clearly committed to the overall success of each and every student-athlete and to know that I’ll be surrounded by that each day gives me great confidence as I take on this new role. Everything from an absolutely fantastic practice venue to a first-class support network of administrators, academic counselors, athletic trainers, sport performance, and facilities staff makes Miami an outstanding rowing opportunity, and I’m looking forward to what lies ahead.” In addition to being a U.S. Rowing Level III and Rowing Canada Aviron Level IV certified coach, Carter received a B.Sc. (Kinesiology) in applied sports science from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, as well as achieving a M.Sc. (Kinesiology) in Biomechanics from the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario. Highly regarded in both the academic and coaching fields, Carter is a regular speaker at national and international coaching conferences on topics in biomechanics, technique, equipment, and training.

ADMINISTRATION In 2007, U.S. President George W. Bush called upon her healthcare expertise to co-chair the Commission on Care for Returning Wounded Warriors, to evaluate how wounded service members transition from active duty to civilian society. In June 2008, President Bush presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award, at a ceremony in the White House. The medal recognizes exceptional meritorious service to individuals who have contributed to national security, world peace, or cultural endeavors.

PRESIDENT DONNA E. SHALALA Donna E. Shalala became the fifth President of the University of Miami on June 1, 2001. President Shalala is an accomplished scholar, teacher, and administrator whose career has been marked by a variety of leadership positions reflecting her interest in young people. While attending college, she played tennis and still plays a competitive game of doubles. She also enjoys golf, skiing, and other outdoor activities. In 1987, President Shalala, a distinguished political scientist, became chancellor of a Big Ten university, the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She led what was then the nation’s largest public research university. In 1992, Business Week magazine named her one of the top five managers in higher education, and in 2005 was named one of “America’s Best Leaders” by U.S. News & World Report and the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. President Shalala’s success at Wisconsin was reflected in athletics as well. She hired a new football coach, recruiting Barry Alvarez from Notre Dame. Four years later, Wisconsin won the Big Ten football championship and represented its conference in the Rose Bowl for the first time in 30 years. President Shalala served on the first Knight Commission, a committee to review college athletics, and has served on the board of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Foundation. In May 2008, she was selected as an Independent Director of the U.S. Soccer Federation. In 1993, she was named U.S. Secretary for Health and Human Services (HHS) and served for eight years, becoming the nation’s longest-serving HHS Secretary. In 2000, she led the official U.S. delegation to the Olympics in Sydney, Australia. At the end of her tenure as HHS Secretary, The Washington Post described her as “one of the most successful government managers of modern times.”

As president of the University of Miami, President Shalala presides over one of the most successful college athletic programs in the country. The Hurricanes football program has consistently ranked in the top of the polls. The baseball team has won four College World Series and the football team five national championships. Other Hurricanes sports, from tennis to track, have also earned national recognition. The football program was honored this year by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for its latest Academic Progress Report score (APR). It was recognized as having posted a multi-year APR score in the top 10 percent. The Black Coaches Association honored her with its Image of Excellence Award for 2007. As to her commitment to UM athletics, President Shalala said, “College sports are an exciting part of our students’ overall experience while at the University and keeps them connected to their alma mater as enthusiastic alumni. The Hurricanes family reaches beyond the campus, into the community, and around the world. We should be very proud of our student-athletes’ accomplishments both on and off the field, and I invite all loyal ‘Canes to show their support and cheer their team and the U on.” For a sports fan like President Shalala, there is no better place to call home than the University of Miami.

CITY OF MIAMI WHERE THE HEAT IS ON “Welcome to Miami... bienvenidos a Miami.” With 84 miles of Atlantic coastline, yearlong sunshine and a boasted average daily temperature of 75 degrees, it is no wonder in his hit single, Will Smith dubbed Miami “the city where the heat is on.” THE HEAT ON THE COURT Thanks to South Florida’s year-round, sportsfriendly climate, Miami has a lot to offer in outdoor recreational activities. From some of the PGA’s finest golf courses to almost 700 parks, there is something for everyone. With countless opportunities for kayaking, scubadiving, fishing, beach volleyball and rollerblading, there is no excuse for going without a tan. South Florida truly has the perfect weather for sports and is one of only eight metropolitan areas in the United States that can boast of a professional franchise in each of the four major sports. The Major League’s Florida Marlins had everybody “doing the fish” when they won the World Series in 1997 and 2003. The NFL’s Miami Dolphins have thrilled fans for decades at Dolphin Stadium, which hosted the Super Bowl in 1995, 1999 and 2007. Despite the warm weather, South Florida’s own hockey team, the Florida Panthers, keep up on the ice. And for basketball fans, the 2006 NBA Champion Miami Heat keep things hot at the American Airlines Arena. MIAMI IS CALIENTE Truly a melting pot, Miami is home to a variety of cultures, creating a totally unique, vibrant cultural mosaic. With representatives of every Hispanic nation in the world, Spanish serves as a second language to most of Miami’s residents. Little Havana is the heart of Miami’s Cuban community, where churro vendors line the streets, the aroma of high-octane cafe Cubano fills the air and the spirit of friendly competition fills Domino Park. The spirit of the Caribbean is alive in Little Haiti, where many Haitian artists, musicians and entrepreneurs get their start in Miami. The proud focal point of this neighborhood is the Caribbean Market, an open-air replica of Port-au-Prince’s Iron Market, where Creole is the dominant language. SIZZLING THE SILVER SCREEN With tropical weather, a high-quality labor pool, low production costs and direct links to Latin America, Miami has become one of the most important entertainment centers in the world. Dubbed as the Latin-American Hollywood by the New York Times, such block

CITY OF MIAMI busters as Big Trouble—written by Miami Herald columnist Dave Barry, Any Given Sunday, There’s Something About Mary, The Birdcage and Wild Things were all filmed in Miami. A Hollywood favorite off-screen as well, Miami is home to dozens of celebrities and even more consider it a favorite weekend getaway. Glorida and Emilio Estefan’s Star Island estate and Gianni Versace’s Ocean Drive mansion-turned-museum are just a couple examples of Miami’s celebrity appeal. It is not uncommon to spot Sean “Diddy” Combs or Jamie Foxx dancing at a South Beach club or former president Bill Clinton playing golf at the Biltmore Hotel. MIAMI HOT SPOTS For shopping, dancing or just plain people watching, Miami offers several places to see and be seen. With over 800 buildings designed in the ‘30s and ‘40s, South Beach serves as the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world. Celebrity-owned restaurants, like Cameron Diaz’s Bambu, night clubs such as Level—based on the format of New York’s Studio 54, and a medley of huge anchor stores and unique boutiques create the flavor of miami’s most famous hot spot. Coconut Grove, just a 10-minute drive from the University of Miami, is another student favorite. Built mainly by West Indian craftsmen brought in from the Bahamas, it still holds onto the Caribbean appeal its name suggests. Attracting writers, artists and non-conformists, this hub of the bohemian arts contributed to Miami’s cultural renaissance. Fast-forward a century and the Grove is still one of Miami’s hottest nightspots, with more than 75 cafes, restaurants and clubs that line the streets. THE WARMTH OF CORAL GABLES, THE “CITY BEAUTIFUL” The University of Miami campus is located in Coral Gables, dubbed the “City Beautiful”. Founded by George Merrick almost a century ago, the Gables is one of Miami’s most beautiful areas. The palm-lined streets are all named after European villages, each one bordered by Old Spanish style homes. Downtown Coral Gables is bustling with the many offices of multi-national corporations, while the city’s central boulevard—Miracle Mile—is home to a wide array of designer boutiques and art galleries. One Gables favorite is the Venetian Pool, a beautiful swimming lagoon carved out of coral, which features cascading waterfalls and underwater caves.

COMPLIANCE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE (PROSPECT)? You are a prospect if you have started classes for the ninth grade. Before the ninth grade, you may become a prospect if a university provides you (or your family or friends) any financial aid or other benefit that is not usually provided to prospective student-athletes. YOU ARE NO LONGER A PROSPECT IF YOU HAVE DONE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: (1) Officially register and enroll in a minimum full-time program of studies and have attended classes in any four-year collegiate institution’s regular academic year (excluding summer); or (2) Participated in a regular squad practice or competition at a four-year collegiate institution that occurs before the beginning of any term; or (3) Officially register and enrolled and attend classes during the summer prior to initial enrollment and receive institutional athletics aid. HOW DO I KNOW IF I’M BEING RECRUITED? A coach is recruiting you if they try to convince you directly, or through your family, to attend their school and participate in intercollegiate athletics. There are several ways to be recruited: (1) a coach may provide you with an official paid visit to view the campus, (2) a coach may arrange an in-person, off-campus meeting with you (or your family), or (3) a coach or staff member may call you (or your family) on more than one occasion for the purpose of recruitment. Coaches and authorized institutional staff members are the only individuals who may recruit you. Representatives of athletic interests (boosters) may not call, write or make inperson contact with you anywhere for the purpose of recruiting you to a university and participating in athletics. WHEN CAN A COACH CONTACT ME? OFF CAMPUS CONTACT In the sport of basketball, a coach can arrange a face-to-face meeting with you, off the University’s campus, beginning the first day of classes of your senior year. In all other sports, a coach can arrange a face-to-face meeting with you, off the University’s campus, beginning July 1 after your junior year. TELEPHONE CALLS In all sports other than football and basketball, a coach may call a prospect one time per week after July 1 following the completion of the prospect’s junior year in high school. In the sport of football, a coach may initiate one telephone call to a prospect between April 15th and May 31st of the prospect’s junior year. Additional calls are not permitted prior to September 1st of the beginning of the prospect’s senior year in high school. In the sport of men’s basketball, coaches may make one telephone call per month from June 15 of the prospect’s sophomore year through July 31 of the junior year. Beginning August 1 of the senior year a coach may make two telephone calls per week. Only one call per week may be made to a two-year or four-year college prospect. In the sport of women’s basketball, coaches may make one telephone call per month during the months of April (on or after the Thursday after the conclusion of the NCAA Division I Final Four) and May of the prospect’s junior year in high school, one telephone call between June 1 and June 20 and one telephone call between June 21 and June 30 of the prospect’s junior year in high school. Three telephone calls to a prospect are permitted during the month of July, with no more than one call per week. In the following circumstances unlimited calls to a prospect are permitted: (1) during the five days immediately preceding an official visit to the University of Miami, (2) on the initial date for signing the National Letter of Intent and the two days following the signing date, and (3) on the day of a coach’s off-campus contact with a prospect For all sports, coaches may receive telephone calls placed by a prospect at the prospect’s expense at anytime, including before July 1 following the prospect’s junior year in high school.

WHAT IS A CONTACT? A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect or the prospect’s parent(s) or legal guardian and an institutional staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of a greeting. NOTE: At the Division I level, athletic representatives (boosters) may not contact you for the purpose of recruiting. WHAT CAN A SCHOOL OFFER ME TO ATTEND THEIR UNIVERSITY? You (or your family) may not receive any benefit, inducement or arrangements such as cash, clothing, cars, gifts or loans to encourage you to sign a National Letter of Intent or to attend a NCAA school. A University may offer you a one-year scholarship that covers room and board, tuition and fees, and required course-related books, or any part of these. The institution can recommend that this aid is renewed each year, as is the general practice at the University of Miami but this renewal is not guaranteed. In addition, they can offer you quality academic and medical support, as well as the opportunity to compete for one of the nation’s top programs. WHAT CAN I DO DURING THIS PROCESS? Enjoy your high school years and work hard both in the classroom and in your sport. At the beginning of your junior year you should sign up for the NCAA Clearinghouse. Your high school guidance office can provide you with the information to register. A DIVISION I INSTITUTION MAY PROVIDE A RECRUIT WITH THE FOLLOWING PRINTED MATERIALS: • General correspondence, including letters, U.S. Postal Service postcards and institutional note cards; • Game programs, which may not include posters, and one Student-Athlete Handbook; • NCAA educational information; • Pre-enrollment information subsequent to signing a National Letter of Intent with the university; • Official academic, admissions and student services publications published or videos produced by the institution and available to all students; • Schedule and business cards; • Questionnaires which may be provided prior to your junior year; and Camp brochures which may be provided prior to your junior year.

ANDREU SWASEY

JIMMY GOINS

Head Strength and Conditioning Coach

Strength and Conditioning Assistant

Now in his 10th season as the Miami Hurricanes’ head strength and conditioning coach, Andreu Swasey has quickly earned the admiration and respect of UM’s players and coaches and has developed a reputation as one of the finest in his field. One of college football’s best known and most innovative strength coaches, Swasey has an extensive background in speed and agility training. Swasey is in charge of the daily conditioning regimen of more than 100 student-athletes in the Hurricanes football program. He also directs Miami’s entire strength and conditioning staff of five strength coaches who supervise all of the conditioning needs of UM’s 18 scholarship sports. Swasey has a unique perspective for a strength and conditioning coach, as he has previous experience as a defensive backs coach and a player. That background makes Swasey the perfect person to address the specific needs of football student-athletes. Swasey has coached in nine bowl games with the Hurricanes including the 2001 national championship at the Rose Bowl. As a football player at Baylor University, he started at cornerback and was a two-year letterman. He was the starting strong safety for the Bears as a senior in 1993 after playing extensively as a reserve in 1992 on a team that defeated Arizona in the Sun Bowl. A defensive back at Baylor University, Swasey’s current stint at UM is his second with the Hurricanes. He returned to UM in 2000 from the University of Houston. He spent the 2000 season as UM’s co-head strength and conditioning coach in charge of speed and agility and was promoted to head of the department in 2001. Swasey was with the Hurricanes in 1997 and 1998 as an assistant strength and conditioning coach before moving on to coach defensive backs at Houston in 1999. Swasey began his coaching career at Copperas Cove (Texas) High School, where he coached defensive backs from 1995 to 1997. Prior to his playing days at Baylor, Swasey was a standout at Fort Scott (Kansas) Junior College, where he earned Second-Team Junior College All-America honors in 1991 and was an all-conference honoree. A native of Miami, Swasey is a graduate of Carol City High School. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology from Baylor in 1995. He and his wife, Monica, have four children: sons Andrew and Jovon and daughters Ashlinn and Jaela.
