UTAH Swimming and Diving Utah swimming and diving is in full swing of their 2013-14 season, and has already had winning results to start the year. Utah welcomed new head coach Joe Dykstra and assistant Michelle Lowry to the swimming and diving staff at the beginning of the year. Head diving coach Richard Marschner and assistant coaches Jonas Persson, James Winchester, and Tami Johnson all return to the staff. “We are excited for a great season here at Utah,” said Dykstra. “We have a lot of great talent within the program, as well as an experienced coaching staff. We look forward to having our most successful season ever, while also representing the University with pride, passion and class. Although the season is young, we have made an excellent start. The women have started the season well, with wins vs. Oregon State and an upset win over No. 19 Boise State, while dropping a meet to Arizona, which finished fifth in the NCAA last season. The men have also started well, beating Colorado Mesa, as well as upsetting Arizona, which finished third at last year’s NCAA Championships. We have a long way to go though, and look forward to excellent showings at the Missouri Invitational, USA Swimming Short Course Nationals, Pac-12 Championships and NCAA Championships”. Leading the Utah women this season will be returners Nicole Ligeza, Petra Soininen, Traycie Swartz and Kersten Merry. On the men’s side, Bence Kiraly, Kristian Kron, Nick Soedel and Josiah Purss are expected to lead the effort. The Utes welcomed 23 student athletes, hailing from seven different states and four different countries, to the team for the 2013-14 season, including 14 women and nine men. “I am very pleased with the performances from our teams so far,” said Dykstra. “I am proud of our student athletes and their commitment in the classroom, community and in the pool. Their effort and enthusiasm has been exceptional and I look forward to us maintaining this high level throughout the season.

UTAH Swimming and Diving
The latest chapter in Ute athletics history began on July 1, 2011, when Utah officially became a member of the Pac-12 Conference. But Utah’s reputation as an athletics power was established long before it joined the “Conference of Champions.” Football is 628-435-31 in its 119-year history. In the mid-1990s, the Utes evolved from a conference contender to a national force and they now play to sold-out crowds in 45,017-seat Rice-Eccles Stadium. The original “BCS Buster,” Utah is 2-0 in BCS bowl games with wins over Alabama (2009 Sugar Bowl) and Pittsburgh (2005 Fiesta Bowl). The Utes won nine consecutive bowl games from 1999-2009, tying for the second-longest bowl win streak in NCAA history and the longest since Florida State won a record 11 straight from 1985-96. Utah has finished in the nation’s Top 25 six times, including a No. 2 ranking in 2008 and a No. 4 finish in 2004. Men’s Basketball has thrived throughout its history, winning an NCAA Championship in 1944 and finishing as the NCAA runner-up in 1998. Utah, which also won national championships in 1916 (AAU) and 1947 (NIT), has advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 nine times. The Utes rank in the top 15 in the nation in all-time victories (1,685) and sixth in regular-season conference titles (29). Utah’s 27 NCAA Tournament appearances and 35 NCAA Tournament wins rate among the top 25 programs. Women’s Gymnastics boasts 10 national championships and eight runner-up finishes. Utah is the only school to qualify for all 32 NCAA Gymnastics Championships and has captured the most
