2010-11 Tennessee Lady Vol Swimming and Diving
2010-11 SEASON PREVIEW
In This Section 2010-11 Season Preview.......................................................... 4-5 Squad Analysis............................................................................. 6
Season Preview Entering the 2010-11 swimming and diving campaign, the University of Tennessee Lady Vols have their collective sights set on maintaining a foothold among the nation’s best teams. The squad has finished in the top-15 at the NCAA Championships five straight years, a feat that had never been accomplished before head coach Matt Kredich landed at Rocky Top in 2005. Now in year six of the Kredich era, the Lady Vols will look to take one of the top swimming and diving programs in the country to new heights behind a standout cast of 32 team members, including six returning All-Americans. “I expect that this team, like every team that I’ve coached, will compete for championships. Kredich explained. “We’ll walk into every meet prepared to compete for the win in every heat and in every round of diving. If we aren’t aiming for the highest level, we’re limiting ourselves and Tennessee.” Joining Kredich in preparing this year’s edition for the 2010-11 season are assistant Jennifer Woodruff, now in her sixth year, and diving coach Dave Parrington, who in his 21st year and has directed a combined 32 men and women to Southeastern Conference titles. Highlighting this year’s roster are some key All-America performers from the last two seasons. Included in that group are seniors Morgan Farrell and Aleksa Akerfelds as well as junior Jenny Connolly and sophomore Kelsey Floyd – half of UT’s NCAA runner-up 200y medley relay team from a year ago who all garnered All-America status. Senior Tricia Weaner and junior diver Gabrielle Trudeau also captured AllAmerica accolades in 2009. Connolly and Floyd joined 2010 seniors Alex Barsanti and Michele King on the national runner-up medley relay that also captured the SEC title in the event. The second-place performance marked the highest relay finish ever for a Lady Vol quartet. Connolly will headline the backstroke group, as she is coming off a seventh-place finish at the NCAAs in the 100y back, her signature event. “Jenny has established herself as one of the best meet performers that Tennessee has ever seen,” Kredich said. “The combination of her speed and experience put her in a central position to help lead the team’s run for the SEC and NCAA titles.” Floyd will headline the fly group along with Connolly, but she is also one of UT’s most versatile performers. Tabbed SEC Freshman Swimmer of the Week four times last season, the Lexington, Ky., native is poised for a breakout year. “Kelsey’s freshman year was a powerful learning experience, and she blossomed into one of the SEC’s finest and most versatile swimmers,” Kredich said. “With a great summer under her belt, we expect to see some eye-popping performances emerge by the end of this season.” Akerfelds, one of the greatest distance swimmers in Big Orange history and multi-

event stars Farrell and Weaner are joined in the senior class by three-time NCAA qualifier Martina Moravcikova and diver Jill Pierce. All four swimmers have competed at the NCAA Championships, while Pierce has competed in the NCAA Zone B Diving Championships. That core group will be looked upon to replace the leadership as well as some of the scoring production of last year’s seniors, Barsanti, an SEC champion, King, a 21-time All-American, Jamie Saffer and Bryttany Curran. “Last year’s seniors set a very powerful example by coming together at the beginning of the season and agreeing that they would always present a united front to the team and work out their differences behind the scenes,” Kredich said. “That unified leadership was incredibly strong, and I would love to have our seniors do the same this year.” The backstroke group will have a good balance of experience and youth as Connolly, Farrell, Floyd and Weaner all return and will be joined by redshirt sophomore Abbie Alton and freshmen Courtney Cieselski, Mary Kate McNeilis and Lauren Solernou. Connolly will contend for SEC and national titles in both back events, while Farrell and Weaner will be looking to reach NCAAs in the 100y and 200y back for the fourth straight season. Floyd had the fourth-fastest time on the team in the 100y back a year ago, while Alton showed flashes of nationallevel abilities in 2008-09. As for the rookies, Ciesielski earned five National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association high school All-America certificates on relays and in the 100y back before her senior year even started at Lassiter High School in Marietta, Ga. McNeilis captured the Ohio State High School championship in the 100y back in 2009, breaking her own state record with a time of 54.30. Over Solernou’s prep career, she shattered 13 Connecticut records as a star for Sacred Heart High School in Waterbury, Conn. The breaststroke group will be without the
graduated duo of Barsanti and Saffer, two of the greatest breaststrokers ever to pull on the Lady Vol swim cap. Saffer garnered four All-America certificates and an SEC title in her career, while Barsanti snatched three All-America awards and an SEC relay championship. Their leadership paved the way for Moravcikova, who is the lone senior on the breaststroke squad, but is a veteran, who swam in the 100y and 200y events the last three seasons. She also holds the eighth fastest 200y breast time in UT history. “Martina has developed into the quintessential quiet leader,” said Kredich. “She continually looks for ways to improve and is on a mission to make a big impact at SECs and NCAAs this season.” In addition to Moravcikova’s experience, the Lady Vol record holder in the 200y breast returns in junior Samara Gelb. Gelb broke the UT record by 0.8 seconds, touching in 2:10.34 to take bronze in the event at the SEC Championships. “Sam figured a lot of things out last year and was able to have some fantastic swims, but we feel like she’s just beginning to scratch the surface of what she can do,” Kredich explained. “She’ll be an integral part of our breaststroke group at SEC’s and NCAAs.” Joining Moravcikova and Gelb in the breast events are juniors Kirstyn Colonias and Tori Richmond, sophomore Breanna Folk and freshman Caroline Reeves. Colonias swam season-best times in the 100y and 200y breasts last season at the SEC Championships, while Richmond ranks seventh on the UT performance list the 200y breast. Folk will look to continue her success from her freshman campaign, as she competed in the 100y and 200y breasts at last season’s NCAA meet. She also dashed to a thirdplace performance (1:00.30) in the 100y breast at SEC’s. Reeves is a three-time NISCA high school All-American in the 100y breast and broke her own state record in winning the 100y
2010-11 Tennessee Lady Vol Swimming and Diving
Season Preview breast at the 2009 Tennessee High School Swimming and Diving Championships The butterfly corps will be a deep one. Eight return to the collection, which also will be infused by three newcomers. Connolly and Floyd rank second and third on UT’s 100y fly all-time performer’s list, while Floyd holds the second fastest time in Lady Vol history in the 200y fly. Also in the fly group will be Farrell and Weaner, juniors Maddie Garrett, Gelb and Richmond, sophomores Folk, Kathryn Sampson and Brooke Watson and freshman Kennedy Higdon. In the 100y fly, Watson is the third-fastest performer in UT history and ranks sixth on the Orange and White performers list in the 200y fly. Joining Watson on the 200y fly list are Weaner, who ranks eighth on the list and Garrett and Richmond, who rank 10th and 11th. Akerfelds has had the most success in the distance freestyle events, as she is the school record holder in the 500y, 1,000y and 1,650y free events. Last season, she finished 15th in the 1,650y free at the NCAAs. “Aleksa has become exactly what we envision for our seniors,” Kredich said. “She’s one of the greatest competitors in our team’s history, and she makes everyone around her better.” Also competing in the distance free events will be Garrett and redshirt sophomore Lindsey Brackens. Brackens did not compete last season but swam the secondand third-fastest team times for the Lady Vols in the 1,000y and 500y frees during her freshman campaign in 2008-09. In the middle and sprint free events, the Big Orange expects to have a pool of 17 available swimmers. Of those 17, Alton, Connolly, juniors Caitlin Perks and Atlantis Wilkins, Farrell, Floyd and Weaner all rank in the top 20 of the UT performers list. Newcomers to the group will be Higdon, McNeilis, Alex Frasier, Lindsay Gendron and Grace Ann Sanderson. Frasier captured consecutive state championships in the 100y free in Massachusetts and set high school marks in the 50y free, 100y free, 200y free and 500y free. Gendron collected an Illinois state championship in the 100y free in her only season competing for her high school. Sanderson led Harpeth Hall to a runnerup team finish at the 2010 Tennessee State High School Swimming and Diving Championships, placing fourth in the 200y free and anchored the 200y free and 400y free relays to second-and third-place finishes. The individual medley group has the potential to be a major strength for the Lady Vols behind Folk and Akerfelds. Folk holds the fourth-fastest UT time in the 200y IM and Gelb, Moravcikova, Richmond and Weaner are all on the UT all-time top-performers list. Akerfelds has been nothing short of dominant in the 400y IM. The Bronxville, N.Y., native holds the five fastest times in the event in the program’s history, including breaking her own school record last February at the SEC meet, en route to seventh place. Higdon and Ciesielski will be the group’s
two newcomers. Higdon shared the Tennessee Swimmer of the Year award in 2009 with current teammate Sloane Pitman, after winning the 200y IM and nabbing a second-straight runner-up placement in the 500y free at the Tennessee State High School Swimming and Diving Championships. Over in the diving wells, Parrington welcomes back four divers and adds a pair of state champions to his crew. Trudeau was an All-American in the platform event in 2008 after finishing 13th at the NCAA Championships, while Pierce is the school record holder on the platform (five dives) and will provide leadership to the group. Jodie McGroarty will be at full health this season, after recovering from last year’s shoulder injury. She took third on the 3-meter at SECs in 2009. Skye Sanders will look to improve in her second season in Orange and White after scoring on the tower at the conference meet as a rookie. Tori Lamp was on last year’s squad, but redshirted due to injuries. She should have an immediate impact, however, as her high school résumé includes finishing second on the platform at the Speedo USA Diving Spring National Championship, making the U.S. team for the FINA Canada Cup and advancing to the semifinals. Additionally, she set the state record on the 1-meter board en route to claiming her second straight state title at the 2009 Tennessee State High School Swimming and Diving Championships. Also new to the group this season is Julianne Wilson. An extremely versatile athlete, she earned high school All-America accolades in her junior and senior seasons and was the Tennessee state champion in the 1-meter dive in 2007 and 2010. She also holds her high school’s record in the high jump. “I am excited at the prospects of this balanced group of divers,” Parrington said. “We have experienced leaders in Jill Pierce, Gabbi Trudeau and Jodie McGroarty who certainly have the potential to build on their previous successes and a group of younger divers who have the talent to develop into excellent divers before seasons end.” The deep and talented squad won’t have to travel far for half of its meets, as seven of its 14 competitions will be held at the Allan
Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center. “We love swimming at home, and it turns out this year we’re at home a lot,” Kredich said. “Our team loves to compete at the highest level, and it’s great for us that we don’t need to travel very far to get that kind of competition.” The Lady Vols kick off the season with two home meets, as SEC foe Arkansas comes to town on Oct. 16 and BIG EAST member Louisville invades Rocky Top on Oct. 21. The Orange and White will then travel to “The Bluegrass State” to face their next two opponents in the University of the Cumberlands on Oct. 29 and the Wildcats of the University of Kentucky on the following day, Oct. 30. Tennessee’s next four meets will be back in Knoxville, starting with the Tennessee Invitational, which will include Kentucky, Alabama and Virginia Tech, on Nov. 18-20. The new year will start off with the Tennessee Diving Invitational on Jan. 3-5, followed by two home dual meets against Virginia on Jan. 8 and last season’s SEC champion, Georgia, on Jan. 22. A week later the team will journey to Gainesville, Fla., on Jan. 29, to face off against the Florida Gators, the defending NCAA champions. The Stephen C. O’Connell Center Natatorium will be the Lady Vols’ “home away from home” in the month of February, as the championship portion of the schedule opens up. The UT diving team returns to Gainesville, Feb. 11-13 to compete in the SEC Diving Championships. Three days later, the SEC Swimming Championships will take place on the UF campus and run through Feb. 19. “This is the most competitive conference in the country from top to bottom,” Kredich said. “We’ve regularly had seven of our nine teams in the top 25, and we’ve won more NCAA titles than any other conference in the past 15 years.” The season winds down with UT’s Last Chance meet in Knoxville on Feb. 25-26, followed by the NCAA Zone B Diving Championships, March 10-12. The University of Texas then will serve as the host site for the NCAA Championships on March 17-19, where the Lady Vols will look to eclipse their 13th-place finishes from each of the last two seasons.
Senior Aleksa Akerfelds, who holds UT records in the 500y, 1000y and 1650y frees, is one of several Lady Vols who should contend for All-America honors in 2010-11.

Meet The Coaches MATT
KREDICH
HEAD SWIMMING COACH SIXTH SEASON
Success has followed Tennessee head women’s swimming coach Matt Kredich at every stop of his career, and his five-year tenure on Rocky Top has been no different. After turning around the men’s and women’s swimming teams at Brown and the women’s squad at Richmond, Kredich has led the Lady Vols to unprecedented success. Since Christine Magnuson’s historic 2007-2008 season, which she began as a relative unknown and finished as a 23time All-American, four-time Southeastern Conference Champion and Swimmer of the Year, NCAA Champion, Olympic Trials Champion, american record-holder and double silver medalist in Beijing, the attention of the swimming world has begun to focus on the unique technical, teaching and training concepts that Kredich and his assistants have developed over nearly 20 years of coaching. Magnuson’s Olympic success surprised
The Kredich File
many people, but not anyone who has been part of the program for the past five years, including those who had been present at the first team meeting at Tennessee. This was when Kredich told the team “We’re going to have a program that represents the best in college swimming and diving. This means we will achieve excellence in every facet of the sport, and we will aim for and achieve success at the highest level of competition. This means that this team will be the home of Olympic medalists.” Although in 2005 this was a surprising statement for some of the team to hear, the message came through loud and clear to Magnuson, and to those who have followed. The team goal of having individuals win events at the 2012 Olympic Trials and 2012 Olympic Games is now a central part of the team culture. Under Kredich’s direction the Lady Vols have broken 18-of-19 Tennessee swimming records, had 19 different athletes garner 120 All-America awards and finished in the top15 at the NCAA Championships for a UTrecord five consecutive seasons. In 2009-10, six Lady Vols, including five repeat All-Americans, captured 21 All-America certificates in nine events. As a team, the Big Orange brought back its second consecutive 13th-place finish at the NCAA meet back to Rocky Top.
The 200y medley relay squad of Jenny Connolly, Alex Barsanti, Kelsey Floyd and Michele King set the best relay time in UT history to finish second in the nation. Freshmen Samara Gelb and Kelsey Floyd both burst onto the scene as well. Gelb set a Lady Vol record in the 200y breast at the SEC Championships and Floyd earned All-America honors in four relay events In summer 2010, Magnuson won her third straight U.S. title in the 100m fly and current Lady Vols Tricia Weaner, Morgan Farrell, Aleksa Akerfelds, Connolly, Tori Richmond, Kirstyn Colonias, Brooke Watson, Floyd and Breanna Folk all competed at the ConocoPhillips USA National Championships as well. The UT success last season in the pool carried over outside of it, as the Lady Vols were dominant in the academic arena as well. Last season, Tennessee was named a College Swimming Coaches Association Scholar All-America Team by having a team GPA above a 3.00, 17 members of the UT women’s swimming program were named to the SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll. Along with the All-America accolades and academic honors, UT athletes have earned 33 SEC medals and 10 conference championships under Kredich. In 2008-09, Kredich guided eight Lady Vols to 20 All-America certificates, as the Big Orange sent a school-record 12 participants to the national championship meet in College Station, Texas, where UT placed 13th. There, the 200y medley relay team of King, Jamie Saffer, Weaner and Connolly became the first relay in school history to place in the top three at the NCAA meet. King and Saffer also became the second and third Lady Vols to capture SEC individual titles under Kredich, as the Big Orange

Matt Kredich led the Lady Vols to their fifth consecutive top-15 finish at the NCAA Championships in 2010.
2010-11 Tennessee Lady Vol Swimming and Diving
Meet The Coaches grabbed a second straight fourth-place finish at the conference championships. Kredich’s fourth season in Knoxville started out with a bang, as the Lady Vols began the season with an 8-0 record in dual meets before narrowly losing to undefeated and then-No.1-ranked Georgia at the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center. UT was primed for an upset and just barely fell to the Bulldogs in a meet that came down to the last event. Tennessee finished the year 8-2 in duals, including wins over perennial Big Ten powers Indiana and Michigan and conference rivals Kentucky, Arkansas and Vanderbilt. Kredich also was able to send a UT-record 12 athletes to the NCAA Championships at the end of the season. In the summer of 2009, Kredich trained four athletes who were on the USA Swimming National Team. Magnuson won the 100y fly at World championship trials, King qualified for the World University Games, where she earned a silver medal in the 50 freestyle and gold in the 400y medley relay and Connolly made the USA National A-Team for the second consecutive year. Kredich was named to the USA’s World University Games coaching staff, helping to lead the team to tremendous success in Belgrade, Serbia, where Lady Vol Martina Moravcikova represented her home country of Czech Republic. In 2008, the Lady Vols placed eighth at the NCAA Championships, as well as fourth in the SEC. UT also went 5-3 in dual meets with all three losses coming against teams ranked in the nation’s top three at the time. In addition to Magnuson’s NCAA title, Kredich saw nine other Lady Vols earn AllAmerica honors, as UT grabbed honors in 13 events. The eighth-place finish at NCAAs, coupled with the 10th-place effort in 2007, gave Tennessee back-to-back outcomes in the top 10 at the national meet for the first time in school history. The Lady Vols followed consecutive fifth-place conference finishes with a breakthrough fourth-place showing at the 2008 SEC Championships. Magnuson won three individual events and was part of a victorious relay en route to earning the prestigious Commissioner’s Trophy, awarded to the female who earned the most points for her team. Akerfelds also was named SEC Freshman of the Year. Kredich guided Tennessee to a 4-4 dual meet record during the 2006-07 season against some of the nation’s top programs, a fifth-place finish at the SEC Championships and a 10th-place position at the NCAA Championships. For the first time in 11 years, the Lady Vols cracked into the top 10 at the NCAA Championships by scoring in 11 of 15 events they entered. The team brought home 26 AllAmerica certificates for their efforts and set six school records. The Lady Vols placed fifth for the second straight year at the 2007 SEC Championships and Kredich crowned his first SEC champion when Magnuson snagged first in the 100y fly. She also broke her own school records in the 100y and 200y freestyle, and UT swimmers medaled in four events. During the 2005-06 season, the first under Kredich’s direction, the Lady Vols
Kredich with his wife Kim and three sons (L-R) Coleman, Ben and Miles
showed improvement and success by every measure. The team broke 11 of the 19 school records in swimming events. Tennessee sent eight swimmers to the NCAA Championships in 12 events and vaulted from 24th in 2005 to a 12th-place NCAA finish in 2006 while earning 27 All-America honors. At the SEC Championships, UT swimmers broke five school records as the Big Orange scored in every event contested. The fifthplace finish was a marked improvement over the previous season’s seventh-place showing. The Lady Vols also had a successful dual meet season in Kredich’s first year. Tennessee’s 5-2 mark – its highest dual meet win total since the 1998-99 campaign – included victories over Louisville, Northwestern and SEC rivals Alabama, South Carolina and Kentucky. A third-place finish at the prominent Purdue Invite helped to highlight the successful 2005-06 regular season. The Tennessee women also excelled in the classroom in 2005-06, achieving a team GPA of 3.30 for the year, and two of three graduating seniors were awarded prestigious postgraduate scholarships by the SEC. Kredich was hired as the head coach at Tennessee after dramatically turning around the University of Richmond women’s squad. During Kredich’s tenure, the Spiders sent their first-ever swimmers to the NCAA Championships, had their firstever All-Americans, and won their first-ever conference championships. In his four years at Richmond, the Spiders won four Atlantic 10 Championships while Kredich was named conference coach of the year all four years. His Spiders also were selected by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) as an Academic All-America squad from 2002-04. Prior to that, at Brown University, he turned a 2-9 women’s swimming program in 1992

into Eastern Women’s Swimming League Champions in 1996 and 1997. His teams then competed solely in the Ivy League and went on to win the 1998 and 1999 conference crowns. Additionally, he also energized the Brown men’s team, which was coming off a 3-8 mark when he took over the team in 1996. He led the Bears to four consecutive winning seasons and four top-five finishes in the Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming League. In the process, he was recognized as the EISL Coach of the Year in 1996 and 1997. He also earned EISL Men’s Coach of the Year in 1998. In his nine seasons with the Bears, he coached 50 all-conference performers, four Honorable Mention All-Americans, and several Olympic Trial qualifiers, Olympic Trial finalists and two Olympic athletes. In the classroom his athletes collectively achieved 12 Academic All-America team awards, one first-team Academic All-America award and several post-graduate scholarships. Prior to coaching at Brown, Kredich was the assistant men’s swimming coach at Harvard from 1991-92. He also has served as an assistant women’s swimming coach at Stanford (1990-91) and as a graduate assistant coach for the men’s and women’s swim teams at Duke (1998-90). As a standout backstroker at Duke, he garnered All-Atlantic Coast Conference and All-Academic honors and was a seven-time U.S. National qualifier. Kredich received a B.A. in biology from Duke in 1988 and received his M.A. in teaching degree from Duke in 1990. A native of Durham, N.C., Kredich and his family reside in Knoxville. His wife Kimberley is a choral conductor, artist and advocate for children with disabilities. They have three sons: Benjamin, Miles and Coleman.

Now entering his 21st year as the men’s and women’s diving coach at the University of Tennessee, Dave Parrington has achieved unparalleled success coaching on the collegiate, national and international levels. In 2010, Parrington had two Lady Vols finish in the top 10 at the NCAA Zone and six top-15 finishes at the Southeastern Conference Championships. In February, Michael Wright won the onemeter springboard national championship at the USA Diving Winter Nationals in Columbus, Ohio, with a school-record score. During the 2009-10 season, Parrington coached his 10th Lady Vol diver to AllAmerica honors, as freshman Gabrielle Trudeau placed 13th on the platform event at the 2009 NCAA Championships in College Station, Texas. Additionally, fellow freshman Jodie McGroarty reached the podium at the SEC Championships, finishing third on the 3-meter board, and Vols’ freshman diver Ryan Helms was named 2009 SEC Freshman Diver of the Year. Helping that trio not merely compete but contend in its first collegiate season is just another addition to Parrington’s impressive résumé. In 2008, Parrington coached his 28th diver to an SEC Championship, judged the 2008 U.S. Olympic Diving Trials, helped select the 2008 U.S. Olympic Diving Team and, most significantly, saw a scholarship created in his name. The Dave Parrington Tennessee Diving Scholarship is a $250,000 scholarship endowment created as part of former UT football coach Phillip Fulmer’s $1 million donation to The Campaign for Tennessee. The announcement was made during Tennessee’s dedication of the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center in August 2008. The endowment ensures a scholarship for a UT diver for years to come. Ten Lady Vol divers have acquired 38 All-America citations during Parrington’s tenure at UT. Additionally, four former UT divers have been nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year award after being named Tennessee’s Woman of the Year. Lizzy Flynt was a finalist for the award, while Lauren McCalley won the honor in 1995. During the 2007-08 season, Lauren
LeRoy wrapped up a stellar career by becoming Parrington’s 28th pupil to claim an SEC title, doing so on the 3-meter board. LeRoy also earned her second consecutive All-America award by placing ninth on the one-meter board (301.20) at the NCAA Championships. LeRoy ended her career with the UT record on the 3-meter board (367.60) and as the No. 2 performer all-time on the 1-meter board (321.30). During the 2006-07 season, he took LeRoy to her first NCAA Championships and Senior National Meet and guided her to 11 first-place finishes, including a sweep of the one-meter and three-meter events at five different meets. She earned AllAmerica honors on the 3-meter board with a 15th-place performance at the NCAA Championships. Another recent diver who compiled significant accolades while at UT is McCalley, who earned All-America honors at three NCAA Championships. At the 2004 NCAAs, she picked up two certificates, bringing her career total to five. She grabbed sixth place on the 3-meter board and finished 12th on the 1-meter board. In 2003, the Georgia native placed fifth on the 1-meter at NCAAs while notching sixth on the 3-meter. She was also seventh on the 1-meter and sixth on the 3-meter as a freshman the previous year McCalley continued to experience success following her career, as she was named not only the NCAA Woman of the Year but also the McWhorter SEC ScholarAthlete of the Year in 2005. Morever, she served as UT’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee president during the 2004-05 school year. Internationally, Parrington has traveled and served in coaching capacities for many international squads and events. In addition to serving as a judge and a selector for USA Olympic Diving Selection Camp in 2008, Parrington has extensive experience coaching a variety of athletes in international competition as well as serving as the diving coach for his native Zimbabwe at the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games. He was named by USA Diving as one of the selectors for the USA Diving World Cup team which competed with much success in China in July 2006. In 2003, Parrington was a member of the USA Diving World Championship team staff for the FINA World Championships in Barcelona. As the coach of Zimbabwe, Parrington had the opportunity to coach former Vols Evan Stewart at the 1996 and 2000 Olympics and Gabi Chereches in 2000 for Romania in their quests for medals. Parrington coached Stewart to first place at the 1994 World Championships and Shannon Roy to a sixth-place finish at the 2001 World Championships, both on the 1-meter event. Stewart and Roy also each won gold

Meet The Coaches at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on the 1-meter and 3-meter, respectively. In addition, Parrington led former Tennessee Volunteer Phil Jones to 11th place in the finals on the 3-meter at the 2003 World Championships in Barcelona after helping him capture the NCAA title in the event that same year. Earlier in the decade, Parrington tutored former Lady Vol Jaime Sanger through an incredible string of performances for the Big Orange. In 2003, he witnessed Sanger earn her third-consecutive SEC crown in the 1-meter, while she placed second in that event at the NCAA Championships. During her time at Rocky Top, Sanger claimed two SEC Diver of the Year awards, three SEC titles, four All-America certificates, became a member of the U.S. Senior National Team and competed at the 2003 World University Games. Parrington also guided the career of Lady Vol standout Kathy Pesek. In 1999, he saw Pesek capture her second straight SEC title on the platform and advance to the finals on all three boards at the NCAA Championships to become a 10-time AllAmerican. During her four years at UT, Pesek claimed three SEC titles, one NCAA title, seven U.S. Diving gold medals and one World Championships bronze medal with fellow Lady Vol Tracy Bonner in the three-meter synchro event. The Houston, Texas, native also advanced to the World Diving Cup, the Goodwill Games, the Pan American Games, World University Games and World Championships. The 1995 season marked a first for Parrington, as divers Bonner and Stewart were crowned NCAA national champions, making Parrington just the fourth diving coach in history to have men’s and women’s 3-meter NCAA champions in the same season. Bonner also became the first Lady Vol swimmer or diver to claim an NCAA title. On September 22, 2006, she was inducted into the Lady Vol Hall of Fame. The 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 SEC Men’s Diving Coach of the Year and the 1997 and 2003 SEC Women’s Diving Coach of the Year, Parrington joined the Lady Vol staff in 1990 from the University of Houston. While with the Cougars, he built a reputation as one of the nation’s top diving coaches and earned Southwest Conference Women’s Coach of the Year honors in 1990. In seven seasons as a coach at Houston, seven of his divers gained NCAA AllAmerica honors. Since 1994, UT divers have captured one gold and one bronze medal at the World Championships, six NCAA titles, four U.S. Diving golds, six U.S. Diving synchronized gold medals, four Commonwealth Games medals (two of which were gold) and

set two NCAA Championships records. Tennessee divers also have participated in the 2003 World University Games, the 1994, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007 World Championships, the 1995, 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2008 World Cups, the 1999 Pan American Games, the 1994 and 1998 Commonwealth Games, the 1998 Goodwill Games and the 1996, 2000 and 2008 Olympics. An active club coach, Parrington guided the U.S. Junior National Team to a first-place finish at the 1986 Western Hemisphere Championships. In 1990, he served as head coach of the U.S. Junior Olympic team that traveled to Aachen, Germany. In 1997 he was one of three U.S. coaches who traveled to the World Cup in Mexico City, and he served as head coach of the U.S. Team at the FOX Sports Challenge in Brisbane, Australia. In 1999, Parrington served as the coach of the U.S. team at the Swedish Cup and Pan Ams as well as being team leader for the U.S. in the 2002 Canada Cup. He was also on the U.S. coaching staffs for the 2003 FINA/USA Grand Prix and the 2003 World Championships. The coach of eight junior national champions and 15 U.S. Senior National Team members, Parrington was the winner
of the 1988-89 WHOSAM award. The award was presented by legendary double Olympic gold medalist Dr. Sammy Lee and was given to honor his commitment to excellence. Parrington was also the 1997 U.S. Diving Summer National Coaches Award for Excellence recipient. In addition, he has served USA Diving as a member of the U.S. Diving Safety Certification, Judges Certification committees, Olympic International committee, the Committee for Competitive Excellence, a 2008 USA Olympic Diving Team selector, and most recently has been elected a committee member of the prestigious USA Diving Foundation. Parrington is a native of Rhodesia, now known as Zimbabwe. He competed on both the national diving and water polo teams, representing Zimbabwe in threemeter and platform diving at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. A 1983 graduate of Houston, he holds a variety of Cougar diving records. In the summer of 2009, Parrington married Marie Wilson.

Meet The Coaches JENnifer
Woodruff ASST. SWIMMING COACH SIXTH SEASON
The woodruff File • Coached 2008 Olympic silver medalist and 100m fly American record holder Christine Magnuson • Coached 19 All-Americans to 120 certificates in five years at UT • Athletes have set 18 new Lady Vol records, including new marks in all five relays. • Coached 10 All-Americans as head coach of men’s and women’s swimming teams at Lewis University • Captain and All-Big Ten swimmer at Michigan
For the sixth year, head swimming coach Matt Kredich will be joined by assistant Jennifer Woodruff. Formerly Jen Arndt, Woodruff was married this summer to Chris Woodruff, the associate head coach for the Tennessee men’s tennis team. During her time at Tennessee, Woodruff has become known as one of the most creative minds in swimming. She has put her stamp on the training of the team by devising numerous kinesthetic learning devices for every stroke and by becoming one of the world’s experts in the implementation of TRX (Total Resistance Exercise) training for swimmers. She is the recruiting coordinator for the team and has helped to put together four straight national top-20 recruiting classes, including the 2010 class that was rated the fifth best in the country by CollegeSwimming.com. Woodruff is one of the few college coaches who has received formal training in listening skills and is an experienced counselor and advisor as well. Much of Woodruff’s hard work comes behind the scenes as the assistant coach. Nevertheless, she works tirelessly outside of the spotlight and is a driving force behind the Lady Vols’ success. Woodruff and Kredich share coaching duties between training groups, relying on a collaborative team coaching approach to the implementation of their workout design. She has initiated the use of some advanced physiological monitoring tools and software to the program and remains on the cutting edge of advances in swimming technology.

Evidence of Woodruff’s efforts over the past five seasons have been seen in the Lady Vol swimming and diving program’s success on conference, national and international levels. With Tennessee finishing 13th at the NCAA Championships in 2010, the Lady Vols have placed in the top 15 at the NCAA meet for a school-record fifth consecutive year, while eight athletes earned All-America honors. At the Southeastern Conference Championships, Tennessee placed fourth for the third straight year, as Michele King captured the 50y free conference title. This past summer, former Lady Vol star and 2008 NCAA champion Christine Magnuson captured her third straight 100m fly title at the ConocoPhillips USA Swimming Championshps and competed at the FINA World Championships. Also at the ConocoPhillips USA Swimming Championships, Jenny Connolly won the 100m back B final for the second consecutive year, Kelsey Floyd finished 13th in the 200m butterfly and Breanna Folk was victorious in the 100m breast C final. In 2009, King won a gold and bronze medals as a member of Team USA at the World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia, while Martina Moravcikova joined her teammate at the event as a competitor for her native Czech Republic. King and Barsanti, along with current Lady Vols Moravcikova, Connolly, Tricia Weaner and Samara Gelb also performed well at elite summer competitions. Connolly, Barsanti, Weaner and Gelb joined Magnuson at the national championships, where Connolly and Barsanti each made it to the finals in their events. Connolly finished the summer with the fourth-fastest 100m back time in the country and was named to the U.S. national team. Prior to joining the staff at UT, the Wisconsin native served as the head coach for both the men’s and women’s swimming programs at Lewis University. At the Romeoville, Ill., school she continued the success of the squads by implementing an extensive conditioning and tapering schedule that raised the level of performance by the student-athletes.

Season Review: T is for Team Like a bracelet fitted snugly on the wrist of success, the Lady Vol swimming and diving team tightened its grip on achievement in 2009-10 behind 27 student-athletes woven together and spreading the message: “T is for Team.” Tennessee continued its string of unprecedented success in year five of the Matt Kredich era, as the head coach led the Big Orange to its fifth straight top-15 placement at the NCAA Championships. Behind 21 All-America performances and the highest relay finish in Orange and White history, the Lady Vols secured 13th at the national meet at Purdue’s Boilermaker Aquatic Center in West Lafayette, Ind. UT captured fourth at the Southeastern Conference Championships and compiled a 3-4 dual meet record for the season. Michele King added six All-America honors to her career total of 21 in West Lafayette – the second-most in Tennessee history – and wrapped up her collegiate career with two NCAA runner-up efforts, four SEC titles and 11 first-team AllAmerica awards. King anchored the most successful relay in history, the 200y medley quartet. Along with Jenny Connolly, Alex Barsanti and Kelsey Floyd, the squad finished second at the NCAA meet by touching in at 1:36.90, which ranks second all-time in Lady Vol history, and won the event at the SEC Championships (1:37.42). In all, 11 Lady Vol swimmers competed at Purdue’s Boilermaker Aquatic Center for an NCAA title on March 18-20. In addition to the 200y medley squad, Connolly, Barsanti and King all earned first-team All-America in individual events. Connolly finished seventh in the 100y back (52.47), while Barsanti (1:00.83) and King (48.79) finished eighth in the 100y breast and 100y free. The 2009-10 season opened up on the road against Louisville on Oct. 15, which
proved to be a hard-fought, losing battle for the Lady Vols. Leading 144-139 heading into the final event, the 400y free relay, the Cardinals set a pool record in the event to edge the Orange and White, 152-148, at Ralph Wright Natatorium. The Lady Vols had five individual event wins at Louisville, as Gabbi Trudeau won the 1-meter, Jamie Saffer grabbed the 100y breast title, Connolly was victorious in the 100y fly and Aleksa Akerfelds added a pair of wins in the 500y free and 1000y free. Following the loss, the team went on a tear and won its next three dual meets against SEC foes LSU, Kentucky and South Carolina to improve to 3-1. Traveling to Baton Rouge on Oct. 17, the Lady Vols downed the Tigers by a score of 170-130 at the Bengal Tiger Aquatic Club to get the first conference and overall win of the season. Tennessee set the tone early by winning the 200y medley relay in a poolrecord time of 1:42.43 and also shattered another pool record in the 400y free relay after touching in at 3:23.46. The Big Orange used the momentum, as Connolly, Saffer, King and Akerfelds dominated their individual events, each earning a pair of first-place finishes. Connolly won the 100y back and 100y fly, Saffer was first in the 100y and 200y breasts, and King added first-place finishes in the 50y and 100y frees, while Akerfelds took the top spots in the 500y free and 1000y free. Kentucky invaded Rocky Top on Oct. 30 for the season opener at the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatics Center, but UK was overwhelmed by the Lady Vols by a score of 193-103. At the event, Tennessee won 12 swimming events to tame the Wildcats and improve their record to 2-1 overall and 2-0 in the conference. Barsanti swept the breast events, winning the 100y and 200y titles, King captured the 50y free and 100y free, and Connolly won the 100y back and 100y fly for the third time

in three meets. The freshmen duo of Tori Richmond and Floyd found great success in their home opener. Richmond led a 1-2-3 sweep for the Lady Vols in the 200y fly and also won 200y IM, while Floyd cruised to victory in the 1000y free, winning by nearly six seconds, and got the victory in the 200y back. For her performances, was tabbed the SEC Female Swimming and Diving Freshman of the Week. The SEC success continued for the Orange and White on Nov. 6 against South Carolina, as the Lady Vols downed the Gamecocks by a score of 179-121, making it a perfect 3-0 record in the conference. Floyd paced the team, winning the 200y fly and 200y back. Floyd was later awarded the SEC Female Swimming and Diving Freshman of the Week for the second consecutive week. Akerfelds also snagged a pair of individual event wins, taking first in the 400y IM and the 1000y free. Also adding individual victories were King, in the 50y free; Folk, in the 100y breast; Farrell, who won her first ever 100y back title; and Richmond, in the 200y breast. The team then took a break from dual competition, as it hosted the Tennessee Invitational on Nov. 18-21. With a No. 13 national ranking to their credit, the team welcomed No. 17 Virginia Tech, Alabama and Kentucky to Rocky Top for the threeday event, which would be the last meet of the 2009 portion of the schedule. UT finished third at the meet with 790.5 points, behind Kentucky, which won with 837.5 points. Virginia Tech finished in second with 799 points, and Alabama

finished with 752 points to take fourth. Floyd highlighted the meet for the Lady Vols by winning the 200y back and was rewarded for her efforts by being named SEC Female Swimming and Diving Freshman of the Week for the third time. Connolly nabbed Tennessee’s first victory of the meet on day two with a first-place finish in the 100y back. The Orange and White kicked off the new year with the divers traveling to Athens, Ga., to compete in the Georgia Diving Invitational on Jan. 3-5. Trudeau was the top finisher in all three events for the invite, scoring 241.70 on the platform to finish fourth and added an 11th-place finish in the finals of the 3-meter board with a score of 254.00. The Lady Vols looked to capture their fourth consecutive dual meet victory, when the team traveled to Charlottesville, Va., to face off against the No. 11 Virginia Cavaliers at UVA Aquatic and Fitness Center on Jan. 9. Virginia proved to be too much, winning by a score of 175.5-124.5, despite Saffer winning the 100y breast, Floyd taking the top spot in the 200y free and a dominating performance by the UT divers. In what was becoming a common theme for Floyd, she again was named SEC Female Freshman of the Week for the fourth consecutive week. With the loss, the Lady Vols fell to 3-2 overall but remained perfect against SEC foes (3-0). Trudeau led a 1-2-3-4 sweep on the 1-meter board along with Jodie McGroarty, Skye Sanders and Jill Pierce. McGroarty took first-place on the 3-meter, followed by Trudeau in second and Sanders in third. Two weeks later, the task didn’t get any easier in the next dual meet, as on Jan. 23 the team had to travel to rough waters to compete against top-ranked
Georgia at the Gabrielsen Natatorium in Athens. The Lady Vols swept the breaststroke and back events against the Bulldogs, but it wasn’t enough as the team suffered a 189-111 loss. Saffer won the 100y breast, while Gelb grabbed first in the 200y breast with Moravcikova right behind in second. Connolly took the top spot in the 100y back and Floyd added another victory in the 200y back. King added the only other victory by finishing first in the 50y free. Florida made its way to Rocky Top on Jan. 29, which was “Senior Day” for five Lady Vols. King made the most of it, winning four events (200y medley relay, 50y free, 100y free and 400y free relay), but it wasn’t enough as the Gators defeated Tennessee by a score of 170-130. The loss dropped the Lady Vols to 3-4 overall and 3-2 in the SEC. Barsanti capped her dual-meet career at AJIAC with a victory in the 100y breast and took runner-up honors in the 200y breast behind Moravcikova. Connolly added the only other individual triumph, winning the 100y fly. The Big Orange then were slated to compete for the conference title at the SEC Swimming and Diving Championships at the University of Georgia’s Gabrielsen Natatorium on Feb. 17-20. Waiting for them in Athens were five teams ranked in the top25, including No. 1 Georgia, No. 6 Florida and No. 8 Auburn. In the end, Tennessee nabbed its thirdstraight fourth-place finish at the SEC Championships by scoring 497 points. Georgia won the event with 824.5 points, followed by Florida and Auburn. King had the lone individual win of the meet, winning the 50y free, and was a part of the victorious 200y medley relay squad along with Connolly Barsanti and Floyd. The York, Pa., native also would go on to earn the Lady Vol Athlete of the Week award. Silver medalists at the event were

Barsanti in the 100y breast and Connolly in the 100y back. Samara Gelb set a Lady Vol record in the 200y breast (2:10.34) and finished third. Akerfelds and Folk both added third-place finishes in the 1650y free and 100y breast. On Feb. 26-27, Tennessee hosted a Last Chance Meet, providing swimmers a final opportunity to earn seasonbest performances in an effort to rise up the national lists before the NCAA Championships. Day one was highlighted by Brooke Watson, who broke the AJIAC 200y back record by swimming a time of 1:58.96. Richmond also swam her fastest time in the 200y IM (2:01.19). The quartet of King, Farrell, Connolly and Floyd captured a season-best clocking of 1:30.04 in the 200y free relay on day two. With 11 tickets punched to travel to West Lafayette, Trudeau and McGroarty had one last chance to make the NCAA squad, traveling to the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center for the Zone B Diving Championships on March 12-14. The top eight divers would move on to the national meet. The duo made the finals of the 1-meter on day one, as McGroarty finished 11th, while Trudeau took 13th. McGroarty highlighted day two by finishing ninth on the 3-meter. Trudeau closed out the competition with a sixth-place finish on the platform. Overall, the 2009-10 Lady Vols proved that they belonged on the national stage and were there to stay as an elite program, built under the guidance of Kredich, Parrington and assistant coach Jen Arndt. Those who represent Tennessee can contend for championships on the conference, national and international levels, because they are part of a tightly-woven program, where “T is for Team.”

The Southeastern Conference “The Standard Of Excellence” The Southeastern Conference,
with its storied 77-year history of athletic achievements and academic excellence, has built perhaps the greatest tradition of intercollegiate competition of any league in the country since its inception in 1933. The 2009-10 academic year was another season to remember for the SEC as conference teams captured four national titles and four national runner-up finishes. The SEC has won consecutive national championships in baseball and football. Since 1990, the SEC has won 135 national team championships for an average of more than six per year. Alabama won the SEC’s first national title of the year with its win in the BCS National Championship Game in football. It is the SEC’s fourth consecutive football national title. Florida captured its second women’s swimming and diving national championship. Florida also won its first ever championship in men’s indoor track and field. South Carolina won the national championship in the sport of baseball. Florida finished first among Southeastern Conference schools and second overall in the Director’s Cup final standings. Overall, the SEC finished in the top two in nine of its 20 sponsored sports and in the top five in 14 of the 20 sports. Ten SEC teams participated in football postseason bowls with Alabama, Florida, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Auburn and Georgia winning the BCS National Title Game, Sugar, Cotton, Liberty, Outback, and Independence bowls, respectively. Four men’s basketball teams were invited to the NCAA Tournament and seven women’s basketball teams were also invited to the NCAA Tournament. The SEC had a eight teams advance to postseason play in baseball hosting four regionals with South Carolina and Florida advancing to the College World Series. With 145 teams advancing to NCAA postseason competition, the SEC continued to solidify its place as the nation’s premier conference. In addition to the four team championships, 41 SEC student-athletes garnered individual national championships, while 440 individuals were awarded with First-Team All-American Honors. Student-athletes around the league continued to excel in the classroom as well with more than 2,300 earning recognition on the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
SEC WOMEN’S SWIMMING & DIVING
On the national all-sport level, 11 SEC schools placed in the top 60 of the NACDA Director’s Cup rankings. Florida led the league with a second place finish. Tennessee placed 16th while LSU was 19th; Georgia finished 20th, Alabama 23rd, Auburn 26th, Kentucky 29th, South Carolina 41st, Arkansas 46th, Ole Miss 56th and Vanderbilt 59th to round out the league’s top-60 finishes. Over the past few decades, the Southeastern Conference has been a constant force in swimming and diving. The trend continued in 2010 as the SEC continued its success by placing four women’s teams in the top 15 at the NCAA Championships, including the national champion in Florida, who captured the NCAA title in West Lafayette, Ind. The Gators won the national championships with 382 points, while Georgia (342.5) and Auburn (153) placed fifth and eighth, respectively. Tennessee finished 13th for the second consecutive year (99.5). The Bulldogs didn’t let the SEC women’s title leave Athens, as Georgia hosted the SEC Championships and finished the competition with a dominating 824.5 points. The next closest finisher at the meet was Florida, who scored 698 points, followed by Auburn (568) in third. Tennessee (497) and Alabama (272) rounded out the top five at the conference championships. Florida’s Gemma Spofforth claimed the SEC Women’s Swimmer of the Year award for the second year in a row, while teammate Kara Spofforth captured the Women’s Diver of the Year. Georgia’s Jack Bauerle was named the Women’s Swimming Coach of the Year, and Donnie Craine of Florida was tabbed as the Women’s Diving Coach of the Year. Georgia’s Lisa Caprioglio again won the SEC Women’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year honor and her teammate, Jana Mangimelli, claimed the Women’s Freshman Swimmer of the Year award. The Women’s Freshman Diver of the Year honors went to Becca St. Germain of LSU.

The NCAA Championships LADY VOLS IN THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS Ever since Patty Clark starred by grabbing second-place finishes in the 100y and 200y breaststroke en route to leading the University of Tennessee to 10th place at the inaugural NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships in 1982, Lady Vol teams and athletes have enjoyed a wealth of championship success. In the 29 years of NCAA Championship competition, 84 Lady Vol swimmers and divers have combined to capture 464 total All-America certificates. The honors have included four NCAA champions and 24 NCAA medalists. At the 1995 NCAAs, Tracy Bonner became the Lady Vols’ first individual national champion, winning the 3-meter springboard. The following year, Nicole deMan captured the first title by a Lady Vol swimmer by claiming victory in the 50y free. Kathy Pesek became the third UT woman in four years to capture an NCAA crown when she won the 10-meter platform two years later at the 1998 championships. In 2008, Christine Magnuson became the second swimmer to capture an NCAA title by winning the 100y fly. In addition to accolades earned by individual athletes, UT has enjoyed tremendous team success, as well. The Lady Vols have placed among the top 20 teams at 23 of the 29 NCAA meets, including a program-best fourth-place finish in 1989. Last season, the 200y medley relay team of Jenny Connolly, Alex Barsanti, Kelsey Floyd and Michele King became the highest placing Lady Vol relay at the national meet with a second-place podium finish as UT finished in the top-15 for a school-record fifth consecutive season. 1982 at Florida 1 Florida 2 Stanford 3 North Carolina 4 Auburn 5 Southern California 6 Arizona 7 Arizona State 8 North Carolina State 9 Alabama 10 TENNESSEE

A
t the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Christine Magnuson further added to the rich tradition of Lady Vol Olympians by becoming the first-ever former Lady Vol to capture a medal. Magnuson, a 23-time All-American, grabbed a silver medal in the 100m fly and added another silver in the 400m medley relay, setting the American record in both events. Magnuson’s Olympic performance capped one of the most prolific years ever for a UT swimmer, as Magnuson also was named the SEC Swimmer of the Year, broke numerous school records and won the U.S. Olympic Trials in the 100m fly. Also in Beijing, Fabiola Molina, a five-time All-American at UT, competed in her second Olympics for Brazil. She also swam at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia. Three Lady Vol swimmers competed at the Olympics before attending UT. In 2000, Julia Stowers won a gold medal with the 800m free relay team. Stowers spent her senior year at Rocky Top in 2004-05 and earned three All-America certificates. Teresa Moodie competed in three events for Zimbabwe at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta before spending her final two collegiate seasons at UT from 1998-2000. Annabel Droussiotis competed for Cyprus at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. She swam for UT from 1984-88. Dave Parrington, in his 20th year as head diving coach, has taken part in three Olympics, first as a diver for Zimbabwe at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow and later as a coach for Zimbabwe in 1996 and 2000. In addition to Parrington, former assistant swimming coach Jenna Johnson snagged one gold and one silver medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Games as a teenage phenom. She was on the Lady Vol staff from 1993-98.

Lady Vols on the World Stage
Nicole deMan became the first Lady Vol to represent the United States when she competed in the 1995 World University Games.
INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED Several Lady Vol swimmers have represented their countries on teams at international competitions over the years. Nicole deMan first represented the Stars and Stripes as a member of the 1995 World University Games Team, where she claimed a silver medal in the 50m free. Julie Millis became a double-medalist at the same competition, held in Fukuoka, Japan, as she won silver medals in both the 800m and 1500m free events. All-America diver Jaime Sanger also earned a berth on the U.S. Senior National Team in 2003, while Kathy Pesek and Tracy Bonner were successful as synchronized divers in international competitions a few years before her. Most recently, Christine Magnuson and current Lady Vols Michele King, Martina Moravcikova, Jenny Connolly and Tori Lamp have found success abroad. King and Moravcikova both competed at the 2009 World University Games, while Magnuson followed up winning two silver medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics by appearing at the 2009 FINA World Championships in Rome, Italy. Connolly swam at the 2007 Japan International Grand Prix alongside King and was named to the USA Swimming National Team this past summer. Lamps, a freshman diver, has competed at various international meets, including as a member of the U.S. Senior National Team at the 2009 Canada Cup.
All-America diver Jaime Sanger earned a spot on the U.S. Senior National Team in 2003.
Senior Michele King captured gold and bronze medals as a member of Team USA at the 2009 World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia, last July. She joined Madison Kennedy, Ava Ohlgren and Morgan Scroggy on the gold-medal-winning 400m free relay and grabbed a bronze in the 50m free, touching the wall in a career-best 25.10. She qualified for the World University Games by tying with Kennedy for the U.S. Open Championship in the “splash-anddash� in 2008. Joining King in Belgrade was Lady Vol head coach Matt Kredich, who served as an assistant coach for Team USA, and junior Martina Moravcikova, who swam both breast events for her native Czech Republic. Moravcikova also competed at the 2007 World University Games in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
Christine Magnuson shows off her silver medals -- fresh from the 2008 Beijing Olympics -- at the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center. She represented the U.S. at the Olympics and plans to train for the 2012 Games in London. The 23-time All-American won her second straight U.S. title in the 100m fly in 2009 and competed at the FINA World Championships in four events.
Sixth-year Tennessee head swimming coach Matt Kredich (left) and senior Martina Moravcikova (right) joined former Lady Vol Michele King at the 2009 World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia. Former Lady Vol Fabiola Molina has represented her native Brazil on the international level in several competitions including the 2000 and 2008 Olympics.

In 1998, the diving duo of former Lady Vols Kathy Pesek and Tracy Bonner captured third in the 3m springboard synchro at the FINA World Championships in Perth, Australia. That same year, they also teamed up at the Goodwill Games to finish fourth in synchronized diving. A year later, the twosome placed fifth at the World Cup in Wellington, New Zealand. During the 2000 season, the pair finished second in the synchronized competition at the outdoor championships, while Pesek won the platform contest during the indoor season. Both divers earned NCAA titles as Lady Vols.

Lady Vol Hall of Famers A
mong the inaugural inductees to the Lady Vol Hall of Fame was Lady Vol swimming legend Tracy Ignatosky. During her prolific Lady Vol career, Ignatosky racked up a total of 18 AllAmerica certificates from 1987-89. In her senior season, the Reading, Pa., native recorded a second-place finish in the 100y breast at the 1989 NCAA Championships, leading the Lady Vols to a program-best fourth-place NCAA finish. Catherine Byrne was enshrined into the Lady Vol Hall of Fame in 2002.

Lady Vol Honors NCAA WOMAN OF THE YEAR
Lauryn McCalley was named the 2005 NCAA Woman Of The Year for her athletic and academic achievements and contribution to her community and the University of Tennessee.
Former Lady Vol All-American diver Lauryn McCalley was awarded the 2005 NCAA Woman of the Year honor from a pool of 352 nominees on Oct. 29, 2005. In July of the same year McCalley was one of the two recipients of the esteemed H. Boyd McWhorter SEC ScholarAthlete of the Year award. It is the highest honor from the league, and McCalley was granted a $10,000 postgraduate scholarship as a result. McCalley was a fivetime All-American, capturing the NCAA Zone B ThreeMeter Championships in 2004. She also claimed 10 individual event titles on the year. She was a member of UT’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and served as its president in 2004-05. Catherine Byrne was named the NCAA Woman of the Year in 1992, just the second year of the award. Byrne was a standout backstroker at UT from 1989-92, earning 14 All-America awards. The award is presented to a female student-athlete who is successful in all facets of life, including academics, athletics and community service.
AOPi Lady Vol Athlete of the Year
Catherine Byrne was a 14-time All-American at Tennessee as well as the first Lady Vol to be dubbed the NCAA Woman of the Year and a Lady Vol Hall of Fame inductee.
Tracy Bonner and Nicole deMan not only received national titles in back-to-back seasons, but they also were named AOPi Lady Vol Athletes of the Year in consecutive seasons. Bonner became the first Lady Vol swimmer or diver to receive this esteemed honor among all Lady Vol athletes in 1995. She had an outstanding year her junior season, as she earned her first national title on the three-meter springboard. deMan’s national title in the 50y free, meanwhile, placed her among the greatest sprinters in Lady Vol history, and she was recognized for that by being named the 1996 AOPi Lady Vol Athlete of the Year. The 1998 award recognized another Lady Vol diver, Kathy Pesek. After claiming the SEC and NCAA title on the 10-meter platform, Pesek was named Co-Athlete of the Year along with the national champion Lady Vol basketball team.

2010-11 Tennessee Lady Vol Swimming and Diving
History of Lady Vol Athletics Though female athletes have competed at UT since 1903, they have been managed by a separate administration only since 1976. For over 30 years, athletics for women at Tennessee have enjoyed an enormous amount of growth and success. The department has been a model for other women’s programs across the country because of its competitive teams, outstanding facilities, quality staff members and excellent graduation rates among student-athletes. Intercollegiate athletics for women at the University of Tennessee officially began during the 1976-77 academic year. The UT women’s department had nine intercollegiate sports at that time, including basketball, cross country, field hockey, gymnastics, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. In the inaugural year, the staff numbered 17 and a budget of $120,000 serviced approximately 75 athletes. Despite the fact that field hockey and gymnastics are no longer a part of the department, growth in staff, budget and sports continually increased through the 1970s and into the 21st century. Under current athletics director Joan Cronan, nearly 115 staff members are on hand to support 227 studentathletes. Cronan directs a department that posts an operating budget of nearly $16.5 million.
With the passage of the Restoration Act of 1988, the original mandates of Title IX were met at Tennessee with the annexation of four sports. Golf was the first added to UT’s plate in 1992. Rowing and softball joined the family during the 1995-96 season, and soccer, the 11th women’s intercollegiate sport at Tennessee, began play in the fall of 1996. The 2009-10 academic and athletic campaigns for the University of Tennessee Lady Volunteers culminated with 127 student-athletes earning academic honors (an amazing 56 percent) while the Orange and White teams placed third in the Southeastern Conference AllSports Trophy standings. In the field of competition, the overall winning percentage for all Lady Vol teams during the 2009-10 season was a stellar 70.3 percent. A total of 11 Tennessee student-athletes earned All-America citations. UT claimed the SEC regular season and tournament championships in basketball. The softball team finished third at the Women’s College World Series, missing the Championship series by one game. Phoebe Wright captured NCAA titles in the indoor and outdoor 800m and was a member of the NCAA Indoor DMR championship squad. The doubles team of Caitlin Whoriskey and Natalie Pluskota reached the finals of the NCAA Tournament in tennis, while the 200y medley relay squad of Jenny Connolly, Alex Barsanti, Kelsey Floyd and Michele King finished runner-up at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships.

Joan Cronan
Women’s Athletics Director Triumphant collegiate programs are able to distinguish themselves from their counterparts because of superiority on the field of competition and within the classroom. Under the vision and direction of Women’s Athletics Director Joan Cronan, a heavily-requested speaker on leadership and motivation on the national and local levels, the University of Tennessee Lady Vols have garnered a reputation as one of the most visible and respected programs throughout the nation. UT’s success in both the athletic and academic realms speaks volumes to her decision-making and leadership ability, as demonstrated by her peers at the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) as they named her as president of their organization for 2008-09. Cronan is also a former president of the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA). Both organizations have also honored Cronan as well. She was selected by NACWAA to receive their 2005 Athletic Director of the Year award. In 2004, Cronan was honored by NACDA with their Southeast Region Athletic Director of the Year award. In 2009, the United States Sports Academy elected Cronan to its Board and she was presented with the Overall Cumulative Record (27 Years) • 7,812-3,473-72 • .691 Winning Percentage Team Highlights • 10 NCAA Titles • 45 Top-Five NCAA Finishes • 78 Top-10 NCAA Finishes • 28 SEC Regular-Season Crowns • 22 SEC Tournament Championships Individual Accomplishments • 2009 Elected to U.S. Sports Academy Board of Trustees • 2009 Awarded Women of Achievement: “Women Who Make A Difference” by International Women’s Forum • 2008-09 NACDA President • 2008 Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame Inductee • 2008 Florence Crittenton Agency spokesperson • 2007-08 NACWAA President • 2006 Directed Lady Vols to SEC’s Women’s All-Sport Award • 2005 NACWAA Athletic Director of the Year • 2005 Directed Lady Vols to SEC’s Women’s All-Sport Award • 2004 Directed Lady Vols to SEC’s Women’s All-Sport Award • 2004 NACDA Southeast Region Athletic Director of the Year • 2003 FCA Hall of Champions Inductee • 1998 Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame Administrator of the Year • 1995 NACWAA Regional Athletic Director of the Year • 1995 LSU’s Alumni Hall of Distinction Inductee • 1994 Toastmaster’s International Communication and Leadership Award Recipient • 1994 AOPi Citizen of the Year Award • 1990 College of Charleston Hall of Fame Inductee • 1987 WBCA Leadership Award Recipient • 1980 Directed No. 1 Women’s athletics program in country as voted by AWSF

Women of Achievement Award: “Women Who Make a Difference” by the International Women’s Forum. Now entering her 28th year at Tennessee, Cronan’s continued admiration by her peers and the community is well deserved because of her efforts in facilitating the operation of a first-class program, which has finished in the top two in the Southeastern Conference Women’s All-Sports Award from The New York Times Regional Newspaper Group for five of the past six years, including three first-place finishes. In three of the past five years, all 11 Lady Vol teams participated in postseason play. The UT women’s athletics department achieved a seventh place finish in the 2007 Director’s Cup – Tennessee’s highest finish ever. She strives not only to keep UT as one of the premier women’s athletics departments in the nation but also to improve women’s athletics on a local, regional and national level. Cronan joined UT from the College of Charleston in South Carolina, where she served as the athletics director for 10 years and was later inducted into that institution’s hall of fame. Under Cronan, the school was selected as the No. 1 women’s athletics program in the country in 1980 by the American Women’s Sports Foundation. Closer to home, Cronan is a past president of the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, is active on the boards of First Tennessee Bank and the YMCA, and has served as vice chair of the Leadership Knoxville board. She also works closely with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Athletes in Action, having served as a board member for the local FCA chapter and as a national trustee. In 2003, Cronan was inducted into the FCA Hall of Champions. Additionally, she finds time to be a deacon at Central Baptist Church-Bearden. In 1998, Cronan’s work earned her accord from the Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame, as she was named its Administrator of the Year. Other honors include chairing the 1991 Knoxville area United Way Fund Drive, serving as president of the Executive Women’s Association, receiving the 1994 Toastmaster’s International Communication and Leadership Award and earning the 1994 AOPi Citizen of the Year Award. In March of 1987, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association honored her hard work, dedication and success by presenting her with its leadership award. She also won the 1995 regional award for the National Association of Collegiate Women’s Athletic Administrators. Cronan has served on the NCAA’s Executive Committee, Management Council, as well as the NCAA’s Council, and is a member of the NCAA Championship Cabinet. She also has been a member of

the Southeastern Conference Executive Committee. As a former coach, Cronan served a two-year stint at Tennessee from 1968 to 1970. In 1969, she led the women’s basketball team to an alternate berth in the first-ever National Invitational Collegiate Basketball Tournament. While at Charleston, she continued her success, not only as a basketball coach but in tennis as well. In 1981, she gave up coaching to devote her full-time attention to her duties as teacher and athletics director. A graduate of LSU, Cronan earned her B.S. in 1966 and her M.S. in 1968, both in physical education. She was a fall 1995 inductee into LSU’s Alumni Hall of Distinction. Currently an avid golfer and tennis player, Cronan was ranked as high as second in the South in doubles and is a former state and Southern doubles champion. Cronan makes her home in Gettysvue. She and her late husband Tom, who passed away on Aug. 18, 2006, after a valiant battle with pancreatic cancer, have two daughters; Kristi (Mrs. Rhett Benner) and Stacey (Mrs. Kent Bristow), both 1994 graduates of UT; three grandsons, Chase Thomas and Reed Kent Bristow, and Quinn Leighton Benner; and two granddaughters, Reese Lauren Benner and Larkin Ann Bristow. UT WOMEN’S ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Women’s Athletics Department at the University of Tennessee is to provide opportunities for intercollegiate athletic participation and academic excellence at the highest possible level. Our goal is to enable outstanding student-athletes to maximize their potential both athletically and academically, while maintaining an environment which fosters sportsmanship and integrity.
2010-11 Tennessee Lady Vol Swimming and Diving
Tennessee Traditions NICKNAME The formation of the Women’s Intercollegiate Athletics Department for the 1976-77 academic year prompted much discussion concerning a proper nickname for the distaff athletes. After long consideration and debate, it was decided the female student-athletes would be known as “Lady Volunteers” or “Lady Vols.” The University of Tennessee, as the state’s land grant university, draws the nickname of its athletic teams (Volunteers) from the name most associated with the state. Tennessee acquired the name “The Volunteer State” in the early days of the 19th Century when General Andrew Jackson mustered large armies from his home state to fight the Indians and later the British at the Battle of New Orleans. The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Governor Aaron V. Brown issued a call for 2,800 men to battle Santa Anna, and some 30,000 volunteered. The name “Volunteers” or “Lady Volunteers” is frequently shortened to “Vols” or “Lady Vols” for the men’s and women’s athletic teams.
THE Volunteer Statue The spirit of university youth and its ideal of service, the statue was cast, placed in Circle Park and unveiled on April, 19, 1968.
Rocky Top
MASCOT The official mascot is Smokey, a rather pleasant blue tick coon hound that has been on the job since 1953. The dog is a native breed of Tennessee and is in a line of canines used for hunting raccoons. The present Smokey, the ninth in a line of such dogs provided by the family of the late Rev. W.C. Brooks of Knoxville, is appropriately called Smokey IX. Smokey was chosen as a result of the 1953 Pep Club contest to select a mascot. At Lady Vol events, a human version of Smokey accompanies the cheerleaders.
Wish that I was on ol’ ROCKY TOP, Down in the Tennessee hills; Ain’t no smoggy smoke on ROCKY TOP, Ain’t no telephone bills. Once I had a girl on ROCKY TOP, Half bear, other half cat; Wild as mink, but sweet as soda pop, I still dream about that.
[CHORUS] ROCKY TOP, you’ll always be Home sweet home to me; Good ol’ ROCKY TOP-ROCKY TOP Tennessee.
Once two strangers climbed ol’ ROCKY TOP Looking for a moonshine still; Strangers ain’t come down from ROCKY TOP, Reckon they never will. Corn won’t grow at all on ROCKY TOP, Dirt’s too rocky by far; That’s why all the folks on ROCKY TOP Get their corn from a jar.
[CHORUS] (Copyright 1967 by HOUSE OF BRYANT Publications, P.O. Box 120608, Nashville, TN 37212)
CHEERLEADERS Tennessee is one of a handful of women’s athletics programs that sponsors its own varsity cheerleading squad complete with full grant-inaid. The Lady Vol cheerleaders and mascot Smokey are chosen from a large try-out group in the spring. SCHOOL COLORS The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore, a member of the first football team in 1891, and were later approved by a vote of the student body. The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profusion on “The Hill.” SPORTSMANSHIP Good sportsmanship is a necessary ingredient for wholesome athletic competition. The University of Tennessee cherishes the reputation its fans, students and athletes have earned for sportsmanship and for extending hospitality to our visitors. The Athletics Department urges Lady Vols fans to conduct themselves in such a way that will enhance the University’s reputation for providing a cordial atmosphere at sporting events.
the rock Unearthed in the 1960s, “The Rock” soon thereafter became a “canvas” for student messages. For years the university sandblasted away the messages but eventually deferred to students’ public artistic endeavors at the corner of Volunteer Blvd. and Pat Head Summitt Street. ROCKY TOP Over 40 years ago, a husband-wife song writing team, Boudleaux and Felice Bryant from Gatlinburg, Tenn., penned the song “Rocky Top.” Since that time, the tune has emerged as the unofficial fight song for UT athletic teams.
