COACHING STAFF

CYNDI

In addition to the Olympics, Gallagher has also placed many UCLA swimmers on international teams, including the World Championships, Pan-Pacific Games, World University Games, Goodwill Games and the Pan-American Games. More than a dozen U.S. and foreign National A and B teams have also featured swimmers coached by Gallagher.

GALLAGHER

All told, Gallagher has coached 91 All-Americans who have earned a total of 205 AllAmerican awards in her 30 years as head coach, and she has made her mark on national and international U.S. coaching staffs as well. She served on the advisory coaching staff for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and was selected as assistant coach at the 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2006 World University Games. She also served as assistant coach for the 1995 U.S. National Junior Team that competed in Paris, the 1994 U.S. National Distance Camp, the assistant coach for the Japan International Grand Prix and the 1993 US Olympic Festival. All of that international coaching experience paid off when she was selected to serve as USA’s Head Coach at the 2007 World University Games.

Head Swimming Coach 31st Season UCLA ‘83

Cyndi Gallagher, one of the top college coaches in America, enters her 31th season as head coach of the UCLA Bruins in 2018-19, having compiled an impressive won-loss record of 194-104-2. An intrinsic part of the UCLA Athletic Department for the past 35 years as a student-athlete, assistant coach, and head coach, her dedication to UCLA swimming and diving and to her former and current athletes is unparalleled.

During Gallagher’s tenure at UCLA, her swimmers have completely rewritten the school record book and 21 different Bruins have won at least one event at the Pac-10/12 Championships. But it’s not just the crème de la crème who thrive under Gallagher’s guidance. Gallagher is also proud of the composition of the team that qualifies for the NCAA’s, a team that, more often than not, includes several “walk-ons” who have gone on to be NCAA All-Americans. Bethany Goodwin scored in the 100 Fly and Kristen Lewis was in both the 100 and 200 Fly. Also, Lewis was a semi-finalist at the 2004 Olympic Trials in the 100 and 200 Fly and Goodwin went on to make several U.S. National teams and set a World University Games record while winning the 50 Fly.

A 1983 graduate of UCLA, Gallagher had an illustrious career both as a school record holder for the Bruins and as a USA National Team member. Representing the U.S.A. National Team in Europe, Japan and Australia, she competed at the Olympic Trials in 1976 and 1980 and was a bronze medalist in the 800-meter Freestyle at the 1979 World University Games in Mexico City.

In the Classroom

For the Record

Gallagher’s commitment to excellence in the classroom is shown in her student-athletes’ many academic achievements. Exhibit A, of course, is NCAA Champion and Olympic gold medalist Salmeen, who was named a Rhodes Scholar - UCLA’s eighth-ever and first since 1973 - and also earned an NCAA stayed involved in swimming as an elected Athlete Representative for USA Swimming.

Gallagher is one of the few coaches in the nation who coaches at her alma mater. A highly successful student-athlete for UCLA, she garnered All-American honors, set several school records and earned recognition as the university’s “Most Valuable Athlete.” As a coach, she has attained an even higher level, coaching Olympians, Olympic medalists, NCAA and USA national champions and national team members. She was recognized again by Team USA when she was named to the 2014-2015 U.S. National Team coaching staff.

During her magical senior year in 1996, Salmeen won two Pac-10 titles (100 and 200 Fly) and was named UCLA Female Athlete of the Year and Alumni Association Outstanding Senior. She also received the NCAA Top VIII Award, presented to only eight NCAA studentathletes annually for excellence in academics and athletics. In addition, Salmeen was an NCAA Woman of the Year finalist. During her Bruin career, she was a two-time team MVP, named the team’s hardest worker on three occasions, voted most inspirational twice and graduated with UCLA records in the 200 Butterfly, 200 Free and 500 Free. Salmeen graduated from UCLA with honors in chemistry (3.94 GPA) in 1997 and earned her PhD in biochemistry at Oxford in 2001. In October 2006, Salmeen was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame.

Over the years, Gallagher has compiled an enviable record of success. In nine of her 30 years at the helm of UCLA women’s swimming, her Bruins have finished among the nation’s Top 10 teams. They’ve been among the Top 15 teams in 15 of her years.

High Expectations Gallagher and her first-rate coaching staff have high expectations of their athletes, both in and out of the pool. These expectations, in turn, attract elite, intelligent, dedicated, goal-oriented and well-rounded student-athletes. Known for her strong work ethic and positive attitude, Gallagher leads by example. She inspires her athletes to believe in themselves and to follow their dreams, teaching them to be attentive to detail and to find a way to improve their swimming at every practice session. Gallagher also understands the importance of enjoying swimming and competing, and to embrace the process of becoming a great athlete. Part of being a successful collegiate athlete is learning how to balance all the requirements of being a student-athlete. Part of being a successful person once outside of the swimming world, is learning to do the same. Gallagher believes you can achieve anything you set your mind to, as long as you have the preparation and perspective, and have confidence in your abilities.

Along with Salmeen and Lewis, Keiko Price, Brighed Dwyer and Katie Younglove were also honored with coveted NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. Younglove was named a Verizon Academic All-American and numerous Bruins have received Pac-10/12 All-Academic recognition. It’s no accident that the Bruin swimmers are consistently represented on the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll. Gallagher’s ultimate goal in coaching is to have each athlete reach her full potential, both as an athlete and as a person. She is most proud of her former athletes for their accomplishments and contributions to society after graduating from UCLA. Gallagher’s swimmers have gone on to earn Masters degrees and PhD’s, and to become successful teachers, lawyers, scientists, doctors, engineers, businesswomen, ministers and mothers.

She also believes that teamwork and team unity are essential elements for success, citing them as key ingredients in the team’s Pac-10 Championship seasons of 2001 and 2003.

The Last Decade

Reaching Their Potential

2017-18: Katie Grover and junior Emma Schanz split four new individual school records, while the quartet of Kenisha Liu, Grover,Sarah Kaunitz and Amy Okada set a new top 200 free relay mark to achieve a series-first tie with crosstown rival USC on Senior Day. UCLA also set a new record in the 800 free relay. At NCAAs, the Bruins finished 26th overall. Five Bruins earned CSCAA All-American honors, including two-time All-Americans Grover (800 free relay, 200 free) and Eloise Belanger (platform, 3m diving).

Producing Olympians is always among Gallagher’s highest priorities. In 1996, she became one of the first female coaches to place an athlete on the U.S. Olympic team when Annette Salmeen qualified for the Atlanta Games in two events - the 200 Butterfly, which she won at the Olympic Trials, and the 800 Freestyle Relay. Salmeen, who had already become Gallagher’s first national collegiate champion when she won the 200 Fly at the NCAA’s, went on to win Olympic gold as a member of the triumphant USA 800 Free Relay.

2016-2017: The Bruins made over the school record book to the tune of eight new swimming marks and two new diving ones. Senior Linnea Mack (50 Free, 100 Free, 100 Back) established three UCLA individual marks of her own and had a hand in all four new top relay times (400 Free Relay, 800 Free Relay, 200 Medley Relay, 400 Medley Relay). Senior Madison White (200 Back) added the fourth solo record.

Four years later, Gallagher placed another Bruin in the Olympics when Marilyn Chua, representing Malaysia, swam the 50 Free at the Sydney Games. In 2000 and 2004, the Bruins’ Malin Svahnstrom represented her native Sweden at the Games, swimming in the 800 Free Relay both times and coming away with a silver medal. During the summer of 2008, Gallagher guided three athletes to Olympic teams - 2006 graduate Kim Vandenberg, 2009 graduate Nicolette Teo (competing for Singapore in her third Olympic Games) and four-time Olympian Amanda Beard. Vandenberg won a bronze medal as a member of the 800 Free relay, while Beard and Teo competed in the Breaststroke.

UCLA defended its home pool, going undefeated at Spieker Aquatics Center. Included in that run were wins over Pac-12 foes Oregon State, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah. The A3 Performance Invitational once again proved to be a home away from home for the Bruins, who claimed their second consecutive win at the event with nine wins over the course of the three-day, 10-team gathering. Ultimately, the conference campaign culminated in a 5

COACHING STAFF fifth-place finish at the Pac-12 Championships and a No. 20 ranking at NCAAs. Six Bruins (Eloise Belanger, Katie Grover, Sarah Kaunitz, Mack, Maria Polyakova and White) garnered All-America honors from the Collegiate Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA).

2011-2012: Gallagher had 13 current UCLA swimmers who were 2012 Olympic Trials participants. During the season, the Bruin swimmers broke six school records (50 and 100 Free, 100 Fly, 200 Medley Relay and 200 and 400 Free Relays), two freshmen records (100 Breast and 400 IM) and two facility records (50 Free and 200 Free Relay). Yasi Jahanshahi was the top Bruin at the NCAA Championships, finishing 12th in the 200 Fly and 15th in the 100 Fly. The Bruins tied for 37th at the NCAA’s and were fifth at the Pac-12 Championships.

Out of the pool, the Bruins were again recognized nationally for their academic success, as they received Scholar All-America acclaim from the CSCAA. Twelve student-athletes earned individual recognition. UCLA also topped the Pac-12 with 23 conference All-Academic team members. Emily Hammond and Annika Lenz picked up First-Team accolades.

2010-2011: Numerous All-American honors were garnered at the NCAA Championships, highlighted by Lauren Hall’s record-breaking swims in the 200 IM (7th) and 400 IM (10th), Brittany Beauchan’s 200 Breaststroke (10th), Jahanshahi’s 200 Butterfly (11th) and Sam Vanden Berge’s 12th-place school record swim in the 1650 Free. The 800 Free Relay (13th) also earned All-American honors. The season was also highlighted by multiple schoolrecord swims: Cynthia Fascella (100 Free), Alex Sullivan (200 Free), Vanden Berge (500, 1650 Free), Hall (200 and 400 IM) and the 400 Medley and 400 Free Relay and 800 Free Relay. UCLA finished 20th at the NCAA Championships and fourth at the Pac-10 meet.

2015-2016: The Bruins set three school records at the NCAA Championships en route to a 17th-place finish. Linnea Mack broke her own records in the 50 Free and 100 Back at NCAAs, while Pac-12 Freshman Diver of the Year Eloise Belanger set a new record in the 1-Meter. At the Pac-12 Championships, Mack broke her own school record in the 100 Back twice in one day--first in the championship final of the 100 Back and again as the lead-off leg in the 400 Medley Relay. The junior also broke her school record in the 100 Free to finish fifth overall. On September 17, 2015, it was announced that Bruins Caroline McTaggart and Emma Schanz had been selected to the 2015-16 USA National Junior Team. McTaggart was selected in the 100 Free and 100 Fly events, while Schanz made the cut in the 200 Breast.

2009-2010: The Bruins had one of the best meets for individual performances during Gallagher’s tenure as head coach. At NCAA’s, Beauchan was a double All-American performer in the Breaststroke events (ninth in both), while Bianca Casciari (7th, 200 Fly), Hall (13th, 400 IM) and Vanden Berge (13th, 1650 Free) also earned honors along with the 400 Medley (16th) and 800 Free Relay (14th) teams. Multiple school records fell in the pool behind a talented group swimmers ranging from freshmen to juniors. The Bruins finished 19th at the NCAA Championships.

A total of eight Bruins were named to the CSCAA Scholar All-America Team (Marie-Pierre Delisle, Katie Grover, Katie Kinnear, Annika Lenz, Ciara Monahan, Maria Polyakova, Sandra Soe, and Arlyn Upshaw). Grover, Kinnear, Lenz, and Polyakova earned first team honors. At the Texas Invitational, Caroline McTaggart broke one of the oldest UCLA freshman records in the 200 Free and Grover swam a career-best to win the 200 Fly, moving her to fourth on UCLA’s All-Time list.

2008-2009: The Bruins had a young team, but saw much success and improvement throughout the year. Several swimmers achieved marks on UCLA’s all-time top-eight, while Madeleine Stanton (100/200 Back) and Hall (400 IM) set new school records. Numerous NCAA qualifying marks were achieved, but another unbelievably fast swim season saw only Stanton and Hall advance to the NCAA Championships.

2014-2015: The Bruins set five school records at the Pac-12 Championships and broke two of those records while setting new ones at the NCAA Championships en route to a 23rd-place finish.

Earlier in the season, the Bruins claimed first-place at the 2014 AT&T Winter National Championships in Greensboro, N.C. (Dec. 3-6), as five UCLA swimmers recorded top-five finishes on the final day of competition to secure the victory with 441 points. Linnea Mack finished fourth in the individual rankings with 65 points. A total of eight Bruins were named to the CSCAA Scholar All-America Team (Tarazona, Lenz, Grover, Taylor Carlson, Jessica Khojasteh, Kinnear, Upshaw, and Anna Quinn). Tarazona, Lenz, and Grover earned first-team honors. During the summer swim season, Grover, Mack, White, and Tarazona took home the bronze medal in the 400 Free Relay at the Phillips 66 National Championships. 2013-2014: The Bruins set five school records at the NCAA Championships en route to a 21st-place finish. UCLA set records in the 500 Freestyle (Lauren Baker), 200 Free Relay (Kathryn Murphy, Ting Wen Quah, Katie Kinnear, Linnea Mack), 100 Butterfly (Quah), 200 Backstroke (Madison White) and 400 Free Relay (Murphy, Mack, Quah, Anna Senko). Eight Bruins were named to the CSCAA Honorable Mention All-America Team (Baker, Kinnear, Mack, Murphy, Quah, Senko, Noelle Tarazona, White). In August, UCLA swimming completed an outstanding summer when Katy Campbell won the 1500 Free at the U.S. National Championships, the Bruins’ first winner of a National Championship since 2004. In addition, Mack was named to the USA National Junior Team. 2012-2013: Nine Bruins were named to the CSCAA All-America Teams, as UCLA posted its best NCAA finish (17th) since 2007. The 11 dual meet wins, including victories over Arizona and Arizona State, were the most in program history for a single season. UCLA had a pair of First Team All-Americans, as Quah finished seventh in the 100 Fly at the NCAA Championships and Emma Ivory-Ganja placed seventh in the Platform diving event. The Bruins broke seven school records (100, 200, 1000 and 1650 Free, 100 Fly and 200 and 400 Free Relays). UCLA was fifth at the Pac-12 Championships.

During the 2010-2011 season, Winn finished third on Platform at the Pac-10 Championships and competed at the NCAA Zone E Championships. Winn also competed at her first Senior National Meet and qualified for the 2012 Olympic Trials on Platform. Paulina Guzman had a solid first year with the Bruins as she also competed at Zones. Guzman also represented Guatemala at the Canada Cup meet in May of 2011.

STEBBINS Head Diving Coach 21st Season at UCLA 23rd Season overall Yale ‘96

The 2011-2012 season was keyed by Emma Ivory-Ganja, who was named Pac-12 Conference Newcomer of the Year for diving after a very successful freshman campaign which saw her finish third on both 3M and Platform at the conference meet. Ivory-Ganja also set a new meet record on 3M at the Pac-12 Championships and narrowly miss a spot at the NCAA Championships after placing fourth on Platform at the Zone E meet. Ivory-Ganja and 2011 graduate Winn also competed at the U.S. Olympic Trials. In 2012-2013, the UCLA diving team sent its first Bruin to the NCAA Championships since 2009 when Ivory-Ganja qualified by virtue of her fourth-place finish in the 3M at the NCAA Zone E Championships. At NCAA’s, Ivory-Ganja won the B Final of the 3M event and was also seventh in the Platform, to earn her First Team All-America status, and 29th in the 1M. Ivory-Ganja, the only diver to post three top-five finishes at the previous year’s NCAA Zones (fourth in Platform, fifth in 1M), was one of three Bruins to participate in the event. Vale’s best showing was 21st in the 3M, while Guzman’s top performance was 24th in the 3M. Montana Monahan qualified for the Senior Nationals, finishing 21st in the Platform event.

Tom Stebbins enters his 21st season as the head coach of the UCLA women’s diving team in 2018-19, a program that has had much success since his tenure in Westwood began. Last season, Stebbins was named the Pac-12 Diving Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season, becoming the first Bruin coach ever to win the award multiple times. In 2017-18, Stebbins guided Eloise Belanger to UCLA’s second straight Pac-12 Diver of the Year Award. Belanger won the 1-meter and 3-meter events at the Pac-12 Championships, then finished second in three events at the 2018 NCAA Zone E Championships.

In 2013-2014, three Bruins qualified for the NCAA Zones in Guzman, Monahan and freshman Annika Lenz. Lenz was fourth in the Platform event, ninth in the 3M and 14th in the 1M at Zones, setting a personal best (329.80) in the 3M at the Pac-12 Championships. Lenz won four dual meet events and was named Pac-12 Diver of the Month for November. Monahan was 15th in the Platform at NCAA Zones, while Guzman was 16th in the 1M.

The year prior, he helped Maria Polyakova to the first conference Diver of the Year honor of his tenure. Before coming to UCLA, Stebbins served as head diving coach at Fordham University, where he coached two-time senior national qualifier Paul Delo, who won two Atlantic 10 titles each on the 1M and 3M. Stebbins also helped coach Delo to an undefeated record in the 1996-97 season.

In the summer of 2014, Lenz won a silver medal in the Platform at the AT&T USA Diving National Championships with a personal-best and National Meet-best score of 312.60. She was the seventh-highest women’s point scorer, also competing in the 1M (15th), 3M (22nd) and Synchronized 3M (4th). Incoming freshman Maria Polyakova won a pair of silver medals at the FINA World Junior Diving Championships in September in the 1M and 3M, also placing third in the Synchro 3M.

Coach Stebbins’ Background Stebbins was a four-year letterwinner at Yale University, a three-time NCAA Zone qualifier and a four-time All-Ivy League selection. While diving at Yale, he helped lead his team to the 1993 Ivy League co-title. In 1996, he won the Heaton High Point Award and was named the recipient of the Phil Moriarty MVP Prize. Stebbins graduated from Yale in 1996 with a degree in psychology. A native of Connecticut, he now resides in Playa del Rey with his wife Erika, daughter Reilly and son Owen.

In 2014-15, Maria Polyakova was named the Pac-12 Newcomer of the Year after an historic initial season in Westwood, which culminated in a fourth-place finish in the 3M at the NCAA Championships. She became the first Bruin to qualify for a championship final since 2013, posting the best showing ever for a UCLA diver at NCAA’s and the best Bruin finish at Championships since 2006. During her historic performance in the 3M, Polyakova broke her own school record twice with a 380.60 in the preliminaries and a 392.00 in the championship. Sophomore Annika Lenz, who set a UCLA school record in the Platform at the Pac-12 Championships (323.15), finished fourth at the NCAA Zone E Diving Championships in March.

The Stebbins Philosophy “Luck sits squarely at the intersection of hard work and opportunity.” Coach Stebbins believes that each person is in total control of creating her own luck. The UCLA Diving program stresses the need for the individual to be accountable to herself, her teammates, her sport, and her studies. With all of the wonderful opportunities presented to student athletes at UCLA, it is important that each person know that she is responsible for the decisions and directions that she chooses. This is the beginning of a lifelong process in which the student-athlete learns how to maximize herself academically, athletically, and socially. While the coaching staff hopes to steer this direction, it is the student-athlete herself that will determine how quickly she will achieve her goals.

In the summer of 2015, Polyakova won gold in the 1M, while also finishing second in the Synchronized 3M and fifth in the 3M, in the inaugural European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan. Polyakova also won the Women’s 1M at her 2015 Summer National Championships in Russia and finished ninth in the 1M finals at the FINA World Championships. Ciara Monahan qualified for August’s AT&T USA Diving Senior National Championships after her fifth-place finish in the 1M at the USA Diving Zone F Championships.

Coach Stebbins believes, “We are all very fortunate to be part of the greatest athletic program in the country. How we choose to give back to that tradition should go well beyond the few moments each individual will spend competing in the Bruin Blue. Becoming a Bruin is just the beginning of a lifelong commitment to creating excellence in every facet of your life. As coaches, we are all here to enhance the early stages of that process, through our passion, dedication, and enthusiasm for the people whose lives we have the opportunity to touch.”

The Last Decade The 2008-2009 campaign was another great year for the diving squad, as Samaniego and Schofield competed at NCAA’s, earning All-America Honorable Mention accolades. Winn had a huge year, narrowly missing the Pac-10 title on Platform with a runner-up finish. Samaniego won the Pac-10 1M crown, was the NCAA Zone E champion on 3M and tallied seven dual meet wins during the year. Schofield won every invitational Platform event in which she entered and was the NCAA Zone E Champion in the event. The 2009-2010 season saw a small squad of four divers represent the Bruins. Winn and Karina Silva led the way as all four competed at the NCAA Zone E Championships. Silva set a new school record on Platform during the prelims at Pac-10’s and ended up finishing second overall, while both her and Winn were finalists on Platform at the Zone meet. The summer of 2010 saw Silva earn a bronze medal on 1M and a gold medal on Platform in her Spanish National Championships, qualifying her to the European Championships. Winn qualified to her second Senior National Championship on Platform, where she finished 22nd overall and Michelle Vale made her debut at the Senior meet in the 3M Synchro and 3M springboard events.

In 2015-16, Eloise Belanger was named the Pac-12 Newcomer of the Year after posting a runner-up finish in the Platform event at the Pac-12 Championships. She also placed third in the 1M and fourth in the 3M. The freshman’s standout debut season culminated in a second-place finish in the 1M event at the NCAA Championships. Her score of 336.00 in the finals set a new UCLA record in the event, previously held by Marisa Samaniego. Once again, Maria Polyakova had a stellar season, twice earning Pac-12 Diver of the Month honors and winning 12 of 14 regular season diving competitions. The Bruin sophomore captured the 1M crown at Pac-12s and went on to post two top-five finishes in the springboard events at the NCAA Championships. Junior Annika Lenz placed fourth in the platform event at Pac-12s. During the summer season, all three Bruins went on to compete at the Olympic Trials for their respective nations.

HIGASHIJIMA Associate Head Swimming Coach Seventh Season Oregon State ‘04

Honors were heaped upon the Bruins in 2016-17, with Maria Polyakova the most decorated of all. The junior was named Pac-12 Diver of the Year after a red-hot close to her campaign that began with her second Pac-12 championship in as many years. The Penza, Russia native took the 3M competition while reaching the podium in the 1M and Platform events en route to the Diver of the Meet award. Polyakova went on to set two school records at the NCAA Zone E Championships, posting scores of 398.75 and 339.05 in the 3M and 1M events, respectively. In all, the 2016-17 Bruins qualified four divers for the NCAA Championships after strong showings at Zones. Joining Polyakova were sophomore Eloise Belanger, senior Annika Lenz and junior Ciara Monahan. Polyakova went on to cap her remarkable season with a pair of top-five finishes, while Belanger scored points in the 1M and Platform competitions. Belanger and Polyakova were also named CSCAA All-Americans for their performances. Those two also made UCLA the only school to tally multiple Pac-12 Diver of the Month awards as Stebbins went on to capture his first Pac-12 Diving Coach of the Year honor.

Naya Higashijima, one of the most decorated swimmers in Oregon State history, enters her seventh season with the Bruins in 2018-19 after previously coaching at UC Santa Barbara for six years. The Kawaguchi, Japan native served as an undergraduate assistant from 2004-2005 at OSU before heading to UCSB. As a swimmer at Oregon State, she helped her team place in the Top 25 at NCAA’s for the first time in school history. To this day, she still holds the dual meet career win record with 104 victories. Higashijima set five individual and one relay record during her career, and two of those individual records still stand to this day. In 2002, as a junior, she finished 10th at NCAA’s in the 200 Fly, and the following season she scored a First Team All-American honor by touching eighth in the same event.

Summer 2017 was a busy one for the globe-trotting Bruin divers, beginning with Polyakova reaching three final rounds at the FINA World Championships in Budapest, Hungary. Additionally, Monahan and Traci Shiver were joined by incoming freshman Alice Yanovsky at the 2017 USA Diving National Championships in Columbus, Ohio, while Polyakova competed alongside Australian newcomer Ruby Neave at the 29th Summer Universiade in Taipei. Polyakova went on to earn a bronze medal in the Mixed Synchro 3M.

As a coach at UCSB, Higashijima worked primarily with sprinters and recruited for both the men’s and women’s teams. She helped coach 13 men and women to 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials qualifying marks, which was the most in school history at that time. UCSB had seven All-Americans and All-Academic honorees for the women’s team during her time, as well as two scholar-athletes of the year and seven Big West Conference team titles. She also helped the women’s team to a Top 25 showing at the NCAA’s for the first time since 1988.

Under his tutelage, UCLA had another banner year in 2017-18. Eloise Belanger won the program’s second straight Pac-12 Diver of the Year Award. She won the 1m and 3m titles at the Pac-12 Championships, then finished second in three events at the Zone E Championships en route to a pair of top-10 finishes at NCAAs. Traci Shiver, Alice Yanovsky, and Ciara Monahan all qualified for Zones as well. At the end of the year, Stebbins repeated as the league’s Diving Coach of the Year, a program first.

Higashijima’s father, Shinji, was a national record holder in the individual medley and currently works for FINA. Her mother, Kaoru, was a national champion swimmer in college in the middle distance events and currently is a swim coach. Her brother, Issei, was a national record holder in the 5k and the team manager at Michigan for the men’s team in 2005 and 2006, while her youngest brother, Sho, helped the men’s basketball team at Pima Community College in Tucson advance to the national championships in the 2009-2010 season.

DIRKS POOL AT SPIEKER AQUATICS CENTER

Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center has served as the home for UCLA swimming and diving since 2009.

Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center The Spieker Aquatics Center brings together all three of UCLA’s intercollegiate aquatics sports - men’s and women’s water polo, and women’s swimming and diving - to one venue. The state-of-the-art facility was made possible thanks to a generous lead gift from former UCLA studentathlete Tod Spieker and his wife, Catherine. Tod was an All-America swimmer at UCLA, competing from 19681971, and continues to successfully compete in Master’s Swimming. The UCLA Athletics Department unveiled the Spieker Aquatics Center on Sept. 26, 2009, when the Bruin men’s water polo team hosted UC Irvine under the lights. Prior to that evening’s water polo match, the Athletics Department hosted a private reception at the new, state-of-the-art facility. In addition, Spieker Aquatics Center served as host to the 2010 MPSF Women’s Water Polo Tournament, marking the first time that UCLA had hosted a water polo tournament. The Bruins’ aquatics center is the home to UCLA’s men’s and women’s water polo, and swimming and diving teams. The facility features a 52-meter by 25-yard all-deep water pool with a dividing bulkhead, allowing races to take place at varying distances (meters versus yards). The pool also features four platforms on a diving tower, at heights of three, five, seven and one-half, and 10-meter platforms, as well as one and three-meter springboards. The aquatics center also features a warming pool behind the tower for divers. The main pool, Dirks Pool, is named after Carolyn Dirks, who provided the lead gift for the swimming pool. Dirks Pool will also be used for special use events and Masters Swim meets. The signature feature of the Spieker Aquatics Center is the diving tower, which sits at the pool’s west end. The east end houses the new scoreboard, an LED, state-ofthe-art piece of electronics that makes scores and statistics

Next to the scoreboard is the “Wall of Champions”, showcasing UCLA’s water polo, and swimming and diving national championship teams, as well as all individual student-athletes’ achievements, record holders and Olympians. Separate men’s and women’s locker rooms house enough lockers for all team members. Equipment needed for meets and matches have storage capacity on the facility’s south side. The aquatics center features event lighting and permanent seating with the possibility of additional temporary seating for larger events. 39

ADMINISTRATOR BIOGRAPHIES

Dan Guerrero

Gavin Crew

Dr. Gene Block

Director of Athletics 17th Year UCLA ‘74

Associate Athletic Director 3rd Year UCLA ‘99

Chancellor 11h Year Stanford ‘77

Sixteen years and 30 NCAA Championships later, Dan Guerrero’s mantra of ‘image and substance’ has clearly been established at a level that few others in his profession can approach. At the department’s helm when UCLA Athletics became the first to 100 NCAA team championships, the Bruins’ current total of 116 NCAA titles ranks second in the nation. UCLA teams have also finished second 29 times and have totaled 123 Top 5 NCAA finishes. Across all sports, UCLA teams are fixtures in the postseason, with 88% of the Bruin teams in 2017-18 qualifying for NCAA postseason play. The football team has appeared in 13 bowl games, while the men’s basketball team advanced to consecutive Final Fours from 2006-08 and has made six trips to the Sweet 16. The program has also won 69 conference championships in 16 different sports, produced over 700 AllAmericans and featured 10 Honda Award winners, including two honorees in 2017-18 and the 2003-04 Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. In his 16 years at UCLA, the Bruins have finished second five times and third four times in the race for the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup. In 2017-18, UCLA recorded a school-record 1,326 points in a close runner-up finish for the Directors’ Cup. Guerrero was the first athletic director at the NCAA Division I level (FBS, FCS and NCAA Division I-AAA) to earn three NACDA Under Armour Athletic Director of the Year awards (2013-14 and 2006-07 at UCLA, 2001-02 at UC Irvine). In 2017, he was honored by the National Football Foundation with the John L. Toner Award, becoming the first-ever sitting athletics director from the West Coast to receive the honor. He was also selected as a finalist for the Athletic Director of the Year at the 2017 Sports Business Awards. While success on the playing field with 30 NCAA Championships in 15 different sports and 29 second-place finishes during his tenure are extraordinary numbers, UCLA’s academic success under Guerrero is equally noteworthy. During the Fall 2017 quarter, a record 341 student-athletes made the Director’s Honor Roll, a number that was surpassed in Winter 2018, when 351 earned that distinction. UCLA’s Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and Academic Progress Rates (APR) continue to remain high nation-wide. The UCLA student-athlete GSR is currently at 86%, and every Bruin team maintained multi-year APR rates of 930 or above, including a school-record seven who achieved perfect scores of 1000. Nationally, Guerrero has extensive experience in committee work at both the NCAA and conference level. Currently, he serves on the Division I Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee, which he chaired the previous two years, and he also Chairs an NCAA Working Group on behalf of the Division 1 Men’s Basketball Rice Commission. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the NABC, the Institute for Sport and Social Justice, and the United States International University Sports Federation, where he also serves as Vice President. As the Chair of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee in 2009-10, he was involved with the negotiation of the new $10.8 billion, 14-year NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament television package, as well as the decision to expand the

Gavin Crew was named Associate Athletic Director for Sports and Administration in April 2016. He has spent over a decade with the Bruins, from 2001-2005 and 2008-present. Crew oversees eight sports in his role - men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, men’s track & field (indoor and outdoor) and women’s track & field (indoor and outdoor). Additionally, he supervises the Camps & Clinics office and serves as tournament director for NCAA, Pac-12 and MPSF Championship hosting. Crew is a member of Athletic Director Dan Guerrero’s senior staff. In his first stint in the UCLA Athletics Department, he oversaw the expansion of the Camps & Clinics office to a year-round business operation, managing the growing demand for athletic camp operations in Westwood.

PAC-12 CONFERENCE Built on a firm foundation of academic excellence and superior athletic performance, the Pac-12 Conference renewed its undisputed claim as the Conference of Champions® in 2017-18. Beyond the courts and fields, the Pac-12’s accomplishments extend into the classrooms across 12 campuses, and outside its traditional geographic footprint into new corners around the world. The only conference to win 500 NCAA Championships, the Pac-12 once again led the nation in 2017-18 with 12 NCAA crowns. This haul adds to an incredible 175 NCAA team titles claimed since 1999-2000 and 317 since 1981-82, the start of women’s sports sponsorship, an average of over nine per year. Even more impressive has been the breadth of the Pac-12’s success with championships coming in 28 different men’s and women’s sports. The Pac-12 has led or tied the nation in NCAA Championships in 52 of the last 58 years, the only exceptions being in 1980-81, 1988-89, 1990-91 and 1995-96 when the Conference finished second, and only twice finished third in 1998-99 and 2004-05. For the 13th-consecutive year, the Pac-12 had the most, or tied for the most, NCAA titles of any conference in the country, winning at least six every year since 2000-01. No other conference has won double-digit NCAA crowns in a single year, the Pac-12 doing so 10 times, including a record 14 in 1996-97. Spanning over a century of outstanding athletics achievements, the Pac-12 has claimed 513 NCAA Championships (300 men’s, 183 women’s, 30 combined), over 200 more than the next league. Pac-12 members have won 300 NCAA team championships on the men’s side, 83 more than the next-closest conference. Men’s NCAA crowns have come at a phenomenal rate for the Pac-12 - 16 basketball titles by six schools, 54 tennis titles, 47 outdoor track & field crowns, and 29 baseball titles. Pac-12 members have won 25 of 48 NCAA titles in volleyball, 44 of 49 in water polo, 30 in skiing, and 24 in swimming & diving national championships. Individually, the Conference has produced an impressive number of NCAA individual champions. Over 2,000 (2,334) individual crowns have been won by Pac-12 student-athletes over the years with 1,370 by male student-athletes. Studentathletes have also captured 186 individual titles at combined championships (i.e., skiing and fencing).

2017-18 REVIEW The Conference’s 12 NCAA titles came in the form of nine women’s and three men’s crowns. Six members claimed at least one NCAA title and, of the five institutions in the country to have won multiples titles, three were from the Pac-12. STANFORD’s four NCAA titles this year are the most won by any school, extending its streak of winning an NCAA title to 42 years, winning a third-straight championship in men’s soccer, claiming women’s swimming and diving for the second-straight year in record fashion, winning an All-Pac-12 final in women’s soccer and the women’s tennis crown for the second time in three years. UCLA claimed three national titles, winning the women’s gymnastics crown for the first time since 2010 on a pair of perfect 10s, its first-ever beach volleyball title and its third men’s water polo crown in four years. USC won a pair of national championships this season, winning its fifth women’s water polo title in a tense All-Pac-12 finale ,and the women’s track & field team needed a photo finish in the 4x400-meter relay to claim the team national crown, its first since 2001. A playoff putt sealed the women’s golf crown for ARIZONA, its first since 2000; CALIFORNIA won its second rowing national championship in three years; and OREGON STATE fought off six elimination games to win the baseball title, its third all-time and first in over a decade. In addition to the 12 national championships, the Pac-12 also had runners-up in 10 NCAA Championship events: women’s soccer (UCLA), men’s water polo (USC), skiing (COLORADO), men’s swimming and diving (CALIFORNIA), women’s swimming and diving (CALIFORNIA), men’s indoor track & field (USC), softball (WASHINGTON), rowing (WASHINGTON), men’s volleyball (UCLA) and women’s water polo (STANFORD). In 11 sports, there were at least two teams among the final four and 39 teams finished in the top four at 23 NCAA Championship events, including all-Pac-12 finals in women’s soccer, men’s water polo and women’s water polo. Participation in the postseason was a common occurrence for the Pac-12 in 2017-18. Of the 24 sports sponsored by the

Conference, 17 witnessed at least half its teams participating in NCAA or other postseason action. The men sent 63 of a possible 101 teams into the postseason (62.4 percent), while the women sent 82 of a possible 130 teams (63.0 percent). USC became the first South Division team to capture the Pac-12 football title. After the North Division won the Conference’s first six Pac-12 Football Championship Games, the Trojans ended the North Division streak with a 31-28 win over Stanford to claim their 39th conference crown. The Pac-12 placed nine teams in bowl games, including a pair of teams in the CFP with USC in the Cotton Bowl and WASHINGTON in the Fiesta Bowl. STANFORD running back Bryce Love became the fifth player in Pac-12 history to rush for 2,000 yards (2,118) and was named the Doak Walker Award winner as the nation’s top running back. ARIZONA’s Khalil Tate became the first quarterback in Pac-12 history to rush for 1,000 yards (1,411 yards) and set an FBS single-game rushing record by a quarterback with 327 yards vs. Colorado. USC’s Sam Darnold was the No. 3 overall pick in the NFL Draft by the New York Jets, while UCLA’s Josh Rosen was the No. 10 selection overall by the Arizona Cardinals. It marked the third time in Conference history that two Pac-12 quarterbacks were selected in the first round, and the sixth time ever that multiple quarterbacks from the same conference were selected in the first round. Pac-12 men’s basketball sent eight teams to postseason play for the fourth time in the past six seasons, with three teams - ARIZONA, ARIZONA STATE and UCLA - selected for the NCAA Tournament and a league-record five chosen to the NIT. All five NIT teams - OREGON, STANFORD, USC, UTAH and WASHINGTON - won their opening round games, and the Utes enjoyed the deepest postseason run of any Conference team, advancing to New York City and Madison Square Garden where they defeated Western Kentucky in the NIT semifinals before falling to Penn State in the title game. Seven Pac-12 teams reached the 20-win plateau, equaling the most-ever for the league, highlighted by regular-season and tournament champion Arizona’s 27-win campaign. Pac-12 women’s basketball has enjoyed historic performances over the last four years, establishing the Conference as a premier league in the sport. Six teams earned NCAA

On the women’s side, the story is much the same. Since the NCAA began conducting women’s championships 37 years ago, Pac-12 members have claimed at least four national titles in a single season on 27 occasions, including a current streak of 18-consecutive years, dating back to 2000. Overall, the Pac-12 has captured 183 NCAA women’s titles, easily outdistancing the SEC, which is second with 100. Pac-12 members have dominated a number of sports, winning 23 softball titles, 24 tennis crowns, 15 volleyball titles, 19 of the last 29 trophies in golf, and 16 in swimming & diving. Pac-12 women student-athletes shine nationally on an individual basis, as well, having captured an unmatched 778 NCAA individual crowns, an average of over 21 championships per season, including 29 in 2017-18. The Pac-12’s excellence is further proven in the annual Division I Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup competition, the prestigious award that honors the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. STANFORD won an unprecedented 24th-consecutive Directors’ Cup in 2017-18 to lead the Conference, leading a 1-2-4 finish for Pac-12 institutions. Five Pac-12 member institutions ranked among the top-25 Division I programs: No. 1 STANFORD, No. 2 UCLA, No. 4 USC, No. 19 CALIFORNIA and No. 24 OREGON. At least five member institutions have been ranked in the top 25 each of the Directors’ Cup program, with seven appearing in the top 20 on five different occasions (1998, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2006). Maria Polyakova (center) and Annika Lenz (right) stand on the podium at the 2017 Pac-12 Championships.

Tournament bids, marking the fifth-consecutive year at least five teams garnered bids. Four teams advanced to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen for the third-consecutive year and a record-tying three teams were in the NCAA Elite Eight. It was the second time in three years that at least that many teams advanced that far. OREGON won its first Pac-12 regular-season title since 1999-2000 and first-ever Pac-12 Tournament crown. The Ducks earned their highest NCAA Tournament seed, garnering the No. 2 seed in the Spokane Regional. ARIZONA STATE, CALIFORNIA, OREGON STATE, STANFORD and UCLA joined UO in the “Big Dance,” with UTAH earning a bid in the WNIT. For the first time in Pac-12 history, three teams were ranked in the final top-25 of the USA Today/WBCA Coaches poll, the Ducks finishing with their highest-ever final ranking at No. 5. UCLA was at No. 7, OREGON STATE was No. 8 and STANFORD was No. 13, appearing in the final poll for the 17th-consecutive year. Four teams also appeared in the final Associated Press poll, the fourth-straight year the Conference had at least four teams in the final ranking. The Pac-12 boasts the most NCAA Tournament wins of any conference in the country over the last three years (41) and the best winning percentage among peer leagues (.695). STANFORD won its 17th all-time Pac-12 women’s volleyball title, advancing to its 21st all-time NCAA semifinal in 2017. The Cardinal headlined nine league teams to earn NCAA Tournament bids, marking the fourth time in the last five years at least eight Conference teams participated in the postseason event. Along with Stanford, COLORADO, OREGON, OREGON STATE, UCLA, USC, UTAH, WASHINGTON and WASHINGTON STATE punched their tickets to the tournament. Eleven studentathletes were selected AVCA All-Americans, with seven of those being sophomores or juniors on the first or second teams. Six teams appeared in the final AVCA Coaches poll, five of them in the top 15. The Pac-12 has won a NCAA-record 15 of the 37 NCAA titles awarded. OREGON STATE baseball recorded the Pac-12’s 12th and final NCAA title of the 2017-18 campaign, the Beavers winning the last two of the three-game championship series versus Arkansas to claim their third all-time College World Series title and first since 2007. The Beavers had their backs against the wall since losing their opening game of the CWS, winning four-straight elimination games to get to the championship series, before winning two more versus Arkansas to claim the crown. STANFORD claimed the Pac-12 crown for the first time in 15 years and received the Conference’s automatic bid as four league squads earned berths. UCLA and WASHINGTON rounded out the four postseason teams, the Huskies advancing for the first time ever to the CWS as well. The Pac-12 has, by far, won the most baseball national titles of any conference in the country, claiming 29 titles dating back to 1947. The Pac-12 Conference has historically dominated the sport of softball where league teams have claimed 23 NCAA titles in the 37-year history of the championship. Pac-12 teams captured an unprecedented nine in a row from 1988-1997, then most recently claimed six-straight from 2006-11. OREGON picked up its fourth Pac-12 title in six years and seven league teams earned berths to the 2018 NCAA Tournament, marking the 23rd-consecutive year the Conference has had five or more teams advance to the postseason and has had at least three berths every year since the league began sponsoring the sport in 1987. Half of the eight-team Women’s College World Series field was comprised of Pac-12 teams, with WASHINGTON, ARIZONA STATE, OREGON and UCLA advancing that far. The Huskies played in the championship series, marking the 29th time at least one Pac-12 team reached the finale.

Pacific Coast Conference play began in 1916 and, one year later, Washington State College (now Washington State University) was accepted into the league, with Stanford University following in 1918. In 1922, the PCC expanded to eight teams with the admission of the University of Southern California (USC) and the University of Idaho. In 1924, the University of Montana joined the league roster and in 1928, the PCC grew to 10 members with the addition of UCLA. The Pacific Coast Conference competed as a 10-member league until 1950, with the exception of 1943-45 when World War II curtailed intercollegiate athletic competition to a minimum. During that time, the league’s first commissioner was named. Edwin N. Atherton was Commissioner in 1940 and was succeeded by Victor O. Schmidt in 1944. In 1950, Montana resigned from the Conference and the PCC continued as a nine-team Conference through 1958. In 1959, the PCC was dissolved and the Athletic Association of Western Universities (AAWU) was formed with Thomas J. Hamilton appointed Commissioner of the new league. The original AAWU membership included California, Stanford, USC, UCLA, and Washington. Washington State joined the membership in 1962, while Oregon and Oregon State joined in 1964. Under Hamilton’s watch, the name Pacific-8 Conference was adopted in 1968. In 1971, Wiles Hallock took over as Commissioner of the Pac-8. Ten years later, on July 1, 1978, the University of Arizona and Arizona State University were admitted to the league and the Pacific-10 Conference became a reality. In 1986-87, the league took on a new look, expanding to include 10 women’s sports. Since then, the Conference has been considered the premier league in women’s athletics, securing the most NCAA titles in women’s sports of any conference nearly every year. Thomas C. Hansen was named the Commissioner of the Pac-10 in 1983, a role he would hold for 26 years until 2009, when he was succeeded by current Commissioner Larry Scott. The University of Colorado accepted its invitation to join the Pac-12 on June 11, 2010, and on June 17, 2010, the University of Utah agreed to join the Conference. The Buffaloes and Utes officially became the 11th and 12th members of the Conference on July 1, 2011, the first additions to the league since 1978. It was during the 2010-11 academic year that Scott helped deliver monumental changes that transformed the Conference into a modern 12-team league. In addition to expanding to 12 teams, member institutions agreed to equal revenue sharing for the first time in the Conference’s history, created two football divisions - the North and the South, and established a Football Championship Game for the first time. He also secured landmark media rights deals with ESPN and FOX that dramatically increased national exposure and revenue for each school, in addition to establishing Pac-12 Networks which guaranteed enhanced exposure across all sports. Currently, the Pac-12 sponsors 11 men’s sports and 13 women’s sports, with women’s lacrosse a new addition for the 2017-18 academic year and beach volleyball having been added in 2015-16. Additionally, the Conference is a member of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) in four other men’s sports and two women’s sports. The Pac-12 Conference offices are located in the heart of San Francisco in the SOMA district.

PAC-12 CONFERENCE HISTORY The roots of the Pac-12 Conference date back more than 100 years, to December 2, 1915, when the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) was founded at a meeting at the Imperial Hotel in Portland, Ore. The original membership consisted of four schools - the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, and Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University). All four are still charter members of the Conference. 44
