Choosing to become a Mountaineer student-athlete is special. Without a professional sports team in the state, folks across the state and throughout the region love West Virginia University athletics.

If you take advantage of these opportunities, it can have a positive effect, not only on your career as a student-athlete at West Virginia, but also on your life after you have donned the Old Gold and Blue.

A CHAMPIONSHIP

For the second consecutive year, Andrew Marsh met NCAA qualifying time standards in three events, earning a spot at the NCAA Championships in Atlanta, Georgia. Marsh is only the second Mountaineer swimmer in program history to qualify for back-to-back championships. He was seeded No. 6 nationally in the 100 backstroke, where he placed 17th at the championships. In the 100 freestyle, he place 39th and took 45th in the 50 freestyle. The WVU divers had one of the best showings at the NCAA Zone Championships in team history, with eight Mountaineers competing - Lindsay Schmidt, Madelyn Woods, Julia Calcut, Alex Obendorf, Logan McHenry, Michael Proietto, Austin Smith and Emmott Blitch. Three Mountaineers advanced to finals in their events, also a number that stands out in the WVU record books as Proietto, Obendorf and Calcut reached the finals. Proietto advanced to the finals on all three boards.

WVUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength and conditioning staff ensures that the swimming and diving athletes are on year-long programs designed to continue, improving the fitness capabilities needed in their sports. The primary training goal for the Mountaineer swimmers and divers is injury prevention by correcting muscle imbalances and improving joint mobility. A more resilient athlete is a better athlete. The next focus is maximizing sports performance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; primarily lower body strength and power, upper body strength and power, core strength, muscular endurance and general work capacity and fitness.

AQUATIC

SWIMMING & DIVING

In the fall of 2015, nine public entities, including West Virginia University, committed to collaborate in building a state-of-the-art aquatic and track complex at Mylan Park. Recognizing the need for an Olympic sized 50-meter pool, the community and WVU are working together to make this possible. The $25-30 million facility, will be a community facility for all ages. It also will serve as the home to WVUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming and diving, cross country and track and field teams. The aquatic facility will be approximately 75,000 square-feet with a 50-meter competition pool, with seating for 1,000 spectators. The aquatic center will include a diving pool and tower, a warming pool, therapeutic pool, a family water park, an outdoor sun deck, two wet classrooms, a cardio fitness room, training space, locker rooms and multipurpose rooms for meetings and special occasions. Plans for an opening in the fall of 2017, officials hope to host future NCAA and Big 12 Championships at the new complex. Over the years the Mountaineers have competed at the WVU Natatorium, covering 119,000-square feet, with the pool itself covering 12,730 square feet and seats 500 spectators. The divers use a 13-1/2 foot diving well equipped with two 3-meter and two 1-meter boards, as well as a trampoline.

COMMUNITY

SWIMMING & DIVING

The WVU swimming and diving teams recognize that it’s important to win in the pool, but the squad also realizes it’s equally important to win over the community by giving back in every possible aspect. Not only have the Mountaineers helped Morgantown become a better place through various humanitarian efforts, but the teams make the extra stride to travel outside of the immediate area to lend a hand. The team also regularly donates its time and knowledge by hosting and teaching local youth swim clubs, including West Virginia Aquatics, to learn the fundamentals of the sport. Along with strengthening the youngsters’ skills, they also teach the participants the importance of good sportsmanship, courage, determination and hard work. The WVU men’s team has been partnering with Habitat for Humanity to help rebuild houses throughout the past year. Mountaineer coaches and swimmers also take part in Relay for Life of Monongalia County, the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at WVU’s outdoor track and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.

Over 519 student-athletes were honored on WVU’s Garrett Ford Academic Honor Roll. Implemented in 1989, the Garrett Ford Academic Honor Roll was created to recognize students who have achieved a grade point average of 3.0 or better. Since the program began in 1989, nearly 4,000 student-athletes have earned a place on the honor roll. Ford retired in 2011 after 44 years of service with the WVU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics.

HEAD COACH

10th Season at West Virginia

In his 10th season at West Virginia, Vic Riggs has helped the WVU swimming and diving teams climb to a nationally acclaimed status, and with an academic support system designed around the swimming and diving program, Riggs has built a team that is also recognized nationally for academic success. Throughout his coaching tenure at WVU, Riggs has coached 19 individual NCAA qualifiers, 13 NCAA All-Americans, seven Academic All-Americans, four Big 12 Scholar-Athletes of the Year, 21 Olympic Trials qualifiers and a four-time Olympic medalist.

Last Season The 2015-16 season was a monumental year for the Mountaineers in and out of the pool. Whether it was succeeding academically, winning a Big 12 title while setting a new Big 12 Championship record or breaking multiple WVU school and pool records, Riggs coached the WVU men’s and women’s teams to a high degree. Four members of the men’s team qualified to compete at the 2016 Olympic Swimming Trials in Omaha, Nebraska. WVU graduate Bryce Bohman, seniors Andrew Marsh, Max Spencer and junior Nate Carr raced in a total of nine events at the U.S. Olympic Trials. For the first time in program history, a Mountaineer set a new Big 12 Championship record as senior Andrew Marsh set the mark in the 100 backstroke with a 45.41 as he took home the gold medal at the championship meet. Marsh also set a WVU school record in the 100 butterfly, with a prelim time of 46.59 to advance him to the A final. Eighteen Mountaineers earned medals at the four-day championship with eight AllBig 12 First Team performances and 12 All-Big 12 Second Team honors. Riggs coached the Mountaineer men to a second-place finish at the 2016 Big 12 Championship, posting their best finish at the conference championship since joining the Big 12. The women’s squad added a fourth-place finish. For the second consecutive year, Marsh qualified to compete at the NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships. He met qualifying time standards in three events, the 100 backstroke, 100 freestyle and 50 freestyle. Academically, junior Nathan Howells was named the 2015-16 Big 12 Men’s Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the third Scholar-Athlete of the Year award for the men and the fourth overall for the WVU swimming and diving program. Howells also was named to the 2016 Academic All-District At-Large Team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The honor is the first for Howells and the sixth award in program history for the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams. Additionally, 24 members of the team were named to the 2016 Academic All-Big 12 Team. The women’s team earned Scholar All-America Team honors by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) during the fall semesters for receiving a 3.27 grade point average and in the spring for earning a 3.34 GPA. Taylor Gill of the women’s team was named a recipient of the First Team Academic Momentum Award by the

SWIMMING AND DIVING

Scholar Baller® program in conjunction with the National Consortium of Academics and Sports (NCAS). She was the first member of the Mountaineer swimming and diving team to receive the Academic Momentum Award. The award recognizes student-athletes who have shown momentous improvements throughout their collegiate careers.

2014-15 The 2014-15 season saw many accomplishments on both the WVU men’s and women’s squads. Riggs coached the men to a third-place finish in the Big 12 Conference and the women to a fourth-place finish. With a team goal of making it back to the NCAA Championships, Tim Squires and Andrew Marsh helped accomplish that. Marsh, a junior, qualified in three evets, while senior Squires qualified in two events for his second consecutive NCAA appearance. Fourteen Mountaineers earned All-Big 12 honors at the 2015 Big 12 Championship, including the school-record-setting men’s 400-yard relay team of Marsh, Nate Carr, Ross Glegg and Squires. Riggs’ teams continued to excel in the classroom again in 2014-15. In total, the Mountaineers had 26 swimmers and divers earn Academic All-Big 12 honors, nine were earned Scholar All-America accolades by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America, while four were named Academic All-Americans by the College Sports Information Directors of America. The WVU women’s swimming and diving team recorded the highest GPA in the Big 12 Conference among all swimming and diving programs. The Mountaineers were also the only program in the Big 12 to have a 4.0 student-athlete from the men’s and women’s team.

2013-14 In 2013-14, Riggs oversaw perhaps the greatest individual student-athlete performance in a single season in program history. Senior Bryce Bohman became just the second men’s swimmer in WVU history to earn First Team All-America honors at the 2014 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships. Bohman set three individual school records (100 back, 200 back, 100 fly), was named the Big 12 Male Swimmer of the Year and earned CSCAA Scholar All-America honors. Riggs coached the men to a 23rd overall finish at the 2014 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships in Austin, Texas. He helped Tim Squires earn Big 12 Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet honors and coached nine student-athletes to CSCAA Individual Scholar AllAmerica recognitions. His endless devotion to academic success was evident as the women’s team posted the highest team GPA in the Big 12 Conference. The men’s and women’s squad together garnered CSCAA Scholar All-America distinctions.

2012-13 The 2012-13 season was a banner year for academics within the swimming and diving teams. Eighteen Mountaineers were named to the 2013 Academic All-Big 12 Team. Among those honored, three in the entire conference were nominated with a 4.00 grade point average, all West Virginia studentathletes – David Palley, Sloan Storie and Jenelle Zee. Palley and Zee were also named to the 2013 Capital One Academic All-District 2 At-Large Teams, while Liam McLaughlin was named the inaugural Big 12 Swimming and Diving Men’s Scholar Athlete of the Year.

Also in 2012-13, in Riggs’ first Big 12 Championships, the women’s team finished second and the men’s team finished third. Burnett earned the Big 12’s Most Outstanding Swimmer award, winning the 200 free, 500 free and 1650 free. Nugent added a win in the 200 fly during the championships. The men’s squad took first in the 400 medley relay and second in the 200 medley relay, while Christopher Brill took second in the 200 breast and third in the 100 breast. Ross Glegg added a pair of thirdplace finishes in the 100 free and 200 free. Riggs had his most successful season as a head coach in 201112, leading the women and men to third- and fourth-place finishes, respectively, at the Big East Championships. For his efforts, he was named the Big East Women’s Swimming Coach of the Year. The team placed 15 members on the all-conference squad with Burnett and Nugent leading the way with seven top-three finishes for the women, while Taylor Camp had three for the men. Burnett was named the Big East Women’s Most Outstanding Swimmer. Four different women earned a total of seven All-America Honorable Mention honors at the NCAA Championships as the team placed 26th. Burnett, Nugent, Kata Fodor and Danielle Smith finished 16th in the 800 free relay. Burnett earned the honor twice more, finishing 14th in the 500 free and 11th in the 1650 free, while Nugent took ninth in the 200 fly. Riggs also sent eight swimmers to the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha, Nebraska, the most ever from WVU. The Mountaineers were represented in 15 different events during the Trials. In total, 10 school records, three pool records and five Big East records were broken with Burnett leading the way behind four individual and two relay. Both squads continued success in the 2010-11 season with the women finishing third at the Big East Championships, while the men finished in fourth place. A total of six school records were broken throughout the season, one being a Big East record. For the men, Jared Goldthorpe broke the 200 back school record with a 10th-place finish in the NCAA Championships to earn All-America Honorable Mention status.

The women’s squad saw Burnett and Nugent named the Co-Big East Women’s Most Outstanding Swimmers at the Big East Championships. Burnett took wins in both the 500 free and 400 IM at the championships, while finishing sixth in the 200 fly. Nugent won the 200 fly on the final day of competition after setting a new Big East and school record time of 1:56.64 in the preliminary session.

DAMIONDennis ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH

10th Season at West Virginia

Damion Dennis enters his 10th season with the Mountaineer swimming and diving program, and he is in his fourth season as associate head coach. Dennis brings a wealth of knowledge and a passion for swimming to the pool deck. He is involved in all facets of the program, oversees recruiting and sprint training, and assists head coach Vic Riggs with the day-to-day operations. Since coming to WVU, Dennis has been an integral part in transforming WVU’s program into a nationally recognized force. Working primarily with the power group, Dennis has helped achieve some of the top individual and relay performances in WVU history, and he has assisted nine Mountaineer swimmers to qualify for the NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships in the last two years. In 2014, West Virginia qualified all five of its relays to the NCAA Championships, including an “A” cut from the 200 freestyle relay team. Thanks to his coaching expertise in sprinting, nearly every top time in the sprint events has been established during Dennis’s tenure, including three Big 12 champion titles – two from graduate Tim Squires and one from senior Andrew Marsh, a new Big 12 record in the 100 backstroke from Marsh and school records by Marsh, Squires, Bryce Bohman and Kayla Andrews. As a coach at West Virginia, Dennis boasts an impressive repertoire of stats: six individual All-Americans, 12 NCAA Championships qualifiers, 36 conference champions, 15 U.S. Olympic Trials qualifiers; and one World Championships qualifier. The WVU sprint group has consistently been ranked in the top-20 nationally, and the Mountaineers have been recognized as a CSCAA Scholar All-America Team every semester since coming to WVU.

SWIMMING AND DIVING

The 2015-16 season was no doubt monumental for West Virginia. Whether the team succeeded in or out of the pool, Dennis was an integral part of each accomplishment. As the record-breaking year continued for the Mountaineers, Dennis coached Marsh to a Big 12 gold medal in the 100 backstroke while also setting a Big 12 Championship record time of 45.41. Marsh also marked a school record in the 100 butterfly with a prelim time of 46.59 to advance him to the A final. That same year, 18 Mountaineers earned medals at the four-day championship with eight All-Big 12 First Team performances and 12 All-Big 12 Second Team honors.

For the second consecutive year, Marsh qualified to compete at the 2016 NCAA Championships in three events with his highest placing of 17th in the 100 backstroke. The Mountaineer men finished second at the 2016 Big 12 Championship, posting their best finish at the conference championship since joining the Big 12, while the women’s squad finished fourth. Academically, junior Nathan Howells was named the 2015-16 Big 12 Men’s Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the third Scholar-Athlete of the Year award for the men’s squad and the fourth overall for the WVU swimming and diving program. Howells also was named to the 2016 Academic All-District At-Large Team. Additionally, 24 members of the WVU swimming and diving team were named to the 2016 Academic All-Big 12 Team During the 2014–2015 season, Dennis’s coaching led WVU sprinters Marsh and Squires to swim qualifying standards for the 2015 NCAA Championships. Squires qualified again in both the 50 and 100 freestyle. Marsh qualified in the 100 backstroke 100 butterfly and 100 freestyle with qualifying times of 46.27 and 43.59. Dennis helped multiple swimmers to conference and NCAA distinctions in 2013–2014 as well. Mountaineer great Bohman was named the Big 12 Swimmer of the Year after setting school records in the 100 backstroke (45.29), 200 backstroke (1:39.83), and 100 butterfly (46.76). Bohman’s 100 backstroke

ranks 19th all-time in the United States, and his 200 backstroke ranks him 20th all-time. Bohman was a two-time All American that season, and the WVU men placed 23rd at the NCAA Championships. Dennis also coached Squires to a historic performance at the 2014 Big 12 Championship. Squires picked up WVU’s first individual Big 12 titles since being in the conference. Squires won the 50 freestyle, touching the wall in 19.32 to take the victory and achieve his NCAA “A” cut. Squires also won the 100 freestyle, marking the first time in history that Texas lost both the 50 and 100 freestyle events in the same conference championship meet. Squires earned the Men’s Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet honor for those performances and also ranks among the best all-time in the U.S. in the 50 freestyle. The 2012–2013 season was WVU’s inaugural season in the Big 12, and Dennis helped coach the women’s team to a second-place finish at the 2013 Big 12 Championship. Rachael Burnett was named the Big 12 Most Outstanding Swimmer, finishing first in the 200 freestyle, 500 freestyle and 1,650 freestyle events. Burnett also received Honorable Mention All-America recognition at the NCAA Championships that year, while Mandie Nugent became the first female swimmer in WVU history to be named a first team All-American with a seventh-place finish in the 200-yard butterfly. Nugent’s time of 1:54.43 ranks 34th all-time in the U.S. On the men’s side in the 2012–2013 season, Dennis led Julien Vialette and Ross Glegg to sub-20.0 swims in the 50 free at the Big 12 Championship with times of 19.90 and 19.95, respectively. In the 100 free, four Mountaineer sprinters placed in the top eight of the event. Swims like these helped bolster WVU’s sprinting presence in the conference alongside perennial powerhouse Texas. The 2011–2012 season was highlighted by the women’s squad finishing 26th at the 2012 NCAA Championships. Burnett, Nugent, Katas Fodor, and Danielle Smith earned Honorable Mention All-America honors as part of the 16th-place 800 freestyle relay team. Burnett earned the recognition twice more, finishing 14th in the 500 free and 11th in the 1,650 freestyle. At that same championship

meet, teammate Nugent finished ninth in the 200 butterfly, also earning Honorable Mention All-American. At the 2012 Big East Championship earlier that season, the women’s team took third place and the men finished fourth, as 15 members of the squad earned All-Big East honors. Burnett and Nugent led the women with seven top-three finishes, while Taylor Camp had three for the men. Burnett was named the Big East Women’s Most Outstanding Swimmer, and Nugent qualified for the NCAA Championships meet. Before coming to West Virginia, Dennis had a two-year stint at the University of California-San Diego, where he served as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. Prior to his stay at UC-San Diego, Dennis spent three years at Princeton, where he was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator under U.S. National Team Manager Susan Teeter. From 2000–2002, Dennis worked as a graduate assistant at Michigan under world-renowned coaches Jim Richardson and Jon Urbanchek. He earned his master’s degree in kinesiology/exercise physiology in 2002. During his time at Michigan, the women’s team ranked in the top 20 in the country and the men were in the top 10. Dennis put together an impressive undergraduate career at Western Illinois, where he earned a degree in exercise science/biomechanics in 2000. He was part of a six-time conference championship program, swimming the 100 back, 200 backstroke, 100 butterfly, 1,650 free, 400 individual medley, and also diving two seasons. Under Hall of Fame Coach Jerry Champer, Dennis was an eight-time all-conference swimmer. Dennis and his wife, Hillary, have two sons, Jameson and Hudson.

SeasonPreview

The 2016-17 West Virginia University swimming and diving teams are ready for their fifth season in the Big 12 Conference and the 10th under the direction of head coach Vic Riggs. Riggs led the men’s squad to a second-place finish at the 2016 Big 12 Championship, their best finish at the conference meet, and the women’s squad is coming off a fourth-place finish in 2016. Andrew Marsh led the way, as Marsh won a Big 12 title and set a Big 12 Championship record in the men’s 100 backstroke while qualifying for his second NCAA Championship. Additionally, the Mountaineers earned a total of 18 medals throughout the four-day championship. Nine Mountaineers earned All-Big 12 First Team accolades for finishing in the top three and 19 were named to the All-Big 12 Second Team for placing fourth through sixth.

SENIORS

Four seniors return for their final season as Mountaineers: Mackenzie Braden, Austin Green, Nathan Howells and Emma Skelley. While Riggs won’t rely solely on his seniors, the two seniors on the women’s team and two on the men’s squad will provide valuable experience and leadership. Howells continues to set an example in and out of the

pool. He excelled immensely academcally and was named to the 2016 CoSIDA Academic All-District At-Large Team, the first honor for Howells and sixth for the WVU men’s and women’s swimming and diving program. A Round Rock, Texas, native, Howells maintained a 3.90 grade point average while earning a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry. Howells was named the Big 12 Men’s Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year, becoming the team’s third honoree since joining the Big 12 Conference in 2013. Howells advanced to the B Finals in the 200 butterfly, the 100 butterfly and the 500 freestyle at the 2016 Big 12 Championship. Winning a bronze medal at last year’s Big 12 Championship, Skelley returns looking to improve and lead the Mountaineers. Skelley won bronze in the women’s 1,650 freestyle to earn All-Big 12 First Team honors. She also earned All-Big 12 Second Team for placing fifth in the 500 freestyle. The Manassas, Virginia, native was named to the Academic All-Big 12 First Team.

NEWCOMERS

A total of 17 newcomers will join the Mountaineers in 2016-17, with 12 on the men’s team and five on the women’s team. The newcomers include six divers, four women and two men. “This class is one of the strongest classes we’ve brought in, and to have it come together in the fall is a great accomplishment for our team and staff,” coach Vic Riggs said. “The diversity of the class addresses many of our depth issues and holes with several seniors graduating. The most impressive aspect of this group is each member will have an immediate impact on our program the very first day they step on campus next year. I am impressed with each of their commitment to the recruiting process and to their future in both academics and athletics at WVU.”

2015-16 Review The 2015-16 season was a recordbreaking year for the Mountaineers. Whether it was academics, winning a Big 12 title and breaking Big 12 and WVU records, the WVU men’s and women’s team took another step forward in 2015-16.

“People often forget that it takes more than a year to be successful,” coach Vic Riggs said. “This season we had some very good success in and out of the pool, but there are also areas we still need to improve. The successes that the team and individuals had this year are the result of several years of hard work and dedication to make the program and themselves better. Just as this senior class has left a mark on the program, the underclassmen have the same opportunity. “Unfortunately there were several goals we didn’t meet, however, I feel like we made a strong move towards those goals and have the program moving in the right direction.” SENIORS The 15 Mountaineer seniors, eight women and seven men, led the 2015-16 season with commitment. As the seniors reflect back on their collegiate careers at West Virginia, the entire team also

reminisces on how each senior impacted one another and the entire team. “This year’s senior class is one of those that you hate to see go,” Riggs said. “Each one of them has had his or her own path to developing into the individuals they are today inside our program. When you put them together collectively, they are one of the strongest senior classes we’ve had since I’ve been here. What I think we will miss most is what each of them brought to the program in their own way.” 2016 BIG 12 SWIMMING AND DIVING CHAMPIONSHIP West Virginia achieved several noteworthy accomplishments at the 2016 Big 12 Championship in Austin, Texas. Along with a Big 12 Championship record, multiple team and pool records were set and numerous career and season-best times were achieved. The Mountaineers earned a total of 18 medals throughout the four-day championship. Nine Mountaineers earned All-Big 12 First Team accolades for finishing in the top three and 19 were All-Big 12 Second Team for placing fourth through sixth. “Our focus as a staff is to compete at our highest level at Big 12s, and this year it worked out that way,” Riggs said. “Once

you get started in the right direction at a championship meet, it becomes contagious. I think that’s what we saw this year. Ultimately it’s up to the athletes to make that happen, and they did.” The Mountaineer men finished second in the Big 12, posting their best finish at the conference championship since joining the league, and coach Riggs was named the Men’s Coach of the Meet for the second time in the last three years. The women’s squad finished fourth. “We were excited to finally beat TCU at Big 12s, which has been something that has eluded us since entering the league, but our goal is to continue to see how close we can get to Texas. The Coach of the Meet award is really a staff award. It’s nice to receive it, and I’m honored to receive it, but ultimately it’s a recognition of the team’s and staff’s hard work over the season and at the meet.” The highlight of the conference meet was senior Andrew Marsh winning a Big 12 title in the men’s 100 backstroke while setting a Big 12 Championship record. Along with the Big 12 title, Marsh added a WVU record time in the 100 butterfly. The Big 12 champion took home the gold, touching the wall

in 45.41, which earned him his NCAA qualifying and career-best time. Marsh bested the previous record-holder in the 100 back, Taylor Hill (Texas ’09), by .24 seconds. Marsh is the first West Virginia swimmer to hold a championship record in any event. Austin Smith set a WVU record on the men’s platform at the Big 12 Championship. He scored a schoolrecord 322.55 in the prelims to advance to the finals, where he placed fourth with a score of 291.45. “This year when Austin Smith set the men’s tower record at the Big 12 Championship was a nice highlight, since we don’t have a tower for training,” diving coach Michael Grapner said. “Alex Obendorf was tenths of a point away from breaking the men’s 3-meter team record as well. I am confident that those numbers will fall next year.” 2016 NCAA MEN’S SWIMMING AND DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS Marsh qualified for the 2016 NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships for the second consecutive year to cap his career as a Mountaineer. He met qualifying standards in the 50 and 100 freestyle and the 100 backstroke. “I was very excited for him, as I know he has put in a tremendous amount of work and effort in getting back to NCAAs,” Riggs said. “It is such a difficult meet to make that just making it there is good enough for some. Andrew really worked at it, but just came up short of making the finals. Ultimately, his NCAA Championship performance this year was much better than his first and that’s what you put in all the work for.” In the 50 freestyle, his first event, Marsh placed 45th with a time of 20.18. His second event of the weekend came in the 100 backstroke, where he placed 17th overall with a time of 46.15, just .05 seconds shy of a top-16 finish and a spot in the finals. In his final event, Marsh placed 39th in the 100 freestyle with a time of 43.64. ACADEMIC HONORS Junior Nathan Howells was named the 2015-16 Big 12 Men’s Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the third Scholar-Athlete of the Year award for the men’s team and the fourth overall for the WVU swimming and diving program in the four years it has been in the Big 12 Conference. The Round Rock, Texas, native has maintained a 3.90 grade point average while earning a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry.

In addition to Howells’ Scholar-Athlete of the Year honor, he also was named to the 2016 Academic All-District At-Large team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The honor is the first for Howells and the sixth in program history for the WVU men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams. The women’s squad was named a Scholar All-America Team by the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) in both the fall and spring semesters. They earned a 3.27 grade point average in the fall and a 3.34 in the spring. Also awarded by the CSCAA, eight swimmers and divers were named Scholar AllAmericans. Marsh was named to the first team, while Aidan Fumagalli, Jaimee Gillmore, Lindsay Schmidt, Amelie Currat, Emmott Blitch, Julia Calcut and Madelyn Woods earned honorable mention accolades. “These awards mean a lot to me and I know they do to the program and alumni as well,” Riggs said. “Our performance in the classroom is something I am not willing to sacrifice for our success in the water. Over the past few years we have had, the strongest program in the Big 12 academically. WVU swimming and diving owns over half of the 4.0 student-athletes in the Big 12. We’ve won three of four (men) and one of four (women) Big 12 Scholar-Athletes of the Year in addition to other awards from the CSCAA. It is a major focus for our program and part of our tradition, of which I am very proud.” Twenty-four members of the WVU swimming and diving team were named to the 2016 Academic AllBig 12 Team. Among the 102 Big 12 student-athletes honored, sophomore Amelie Currat of the women’s squad was one of two from all teams to be recognized with a perfect 4.0 GPA. /WVUSwimDive WVUSwimDive

Eleven honorees from the women’s team were named to the Academic All-Big 12 First Team: Madeline Bolin, Mackenzie Braden, Currat, Morgan Emter, Kelsey Frantz, Gillmore, Celia Martinez De La Torre, Katie Murto, Schmidt, Emma Skelley and Loren Williams. From the men’s team, eight received first team honors: Fumagalli, Ross Glegg, Nathan Howells, Jake Iotte, James Koval, Andrew Marsh, Joe Miller and Max Spencer. Second team honorees from the women’s team includes Mia Fiorenzi and Emma Luigard, while Frank Csonka, Austin Green and Andrew Riebel were named to the second team from the men’s squad. Sophomore Taylor Gill of the women’s team was named a recipient of the First Team Academic Momentum Award by the Scholar Baller® program in conjunction with the National Consortium of Academics and Sports (NCAS). The award recognizes the student-athletes who have shown momentous improvements throughout their collegiate careers. Gill, majoring in exercise physiology, showed her hard work and dedication in the classroom, which gave her the academic momentum she needed to succeed. She was the first member of the Mountaineer swimming and diving team to receive the Academic Momentum Award. 2016 NCAA ZONE A DIVING CHAMPIONSHIP West Virginia had nine student-athletes qualify to compete at the NCAA Zone A Diving Championships in Annapolis, Maryland – senior Lindsay Schmidt, sophomores Michael Proietto, Logan McHenry and Alex Obendorf and freshmen Averly Hobbs, Calcut, Woods, Austin Smith and Emmott Blitch. “The NCAA Zone Championship is very challenging mentally and physically,” Grapner said. “This is the largest competition of the season with more

it doesn’t, you learn a lot about how mentally tough you are. The way each of these four young men competed and made the appropriate adjustments to find those best times and swims this week was great to see and says a lot about each of them.” The trials began on June 26, when Carr placed 78th in the 400 individual medley with a time of 4:32.62. Competition on June 27 was highlighted by Bohman’s and Marsh’s top-30 finishes in the 100-meter backstroke. In a field of 183 swimmers, Marsh placed 20th overall with a personal-best time of 55.63, while Bohman touched the wall in 30th with a 55.91.

than 50 athletes in each of the men’s and women’s events. It is a long threehour competition for a student-athlete to only do six dives. In addition to the physical demands, the competition is composed of all zone qualifiers in our region and some of the top athletes in the country. This year the men’s NCAA 3-meters champion was from our zone. It was especially hard for us because we were so young. For the guys, they are all freshmen and sophomores and only Alex (Obendorf) and Mike (Proietto) have been there before. On the women’s side, Maddy (Woods) and Julia (Calcut) held their own and handled the competition experience very well. Unfortunately, Lindsay Schmidt, who was senior, couldn’t compete due to injury.” Proietto advanced to the finals on 3-meter, 1-meter and platform. On the 3-meter springboard, he placed 17th in the prelims with a score of 298.85 to advance to the finals where he finished 14th overall with a 316.3 and a combined score of 615.15. The sophomore advanced to his second final on 1-meter after placing 15th in the prelims (285.40). He placed eighth in the finals with a combined score of 598.10. Proietto advanced to the finals on platform after placing 11th in the prelims (278.05). He finished 12th in the finals with a combined score of 519.85. “I was pleased with Mike,” Grapner said. “I think he finally realized his potential and understands that he can compete at this level. I think the other guys are a lot better performers than they showed me at this meet, but again, I need to remind myself they are young and just need more experience at this level. It is always my goal to have a diver qualify for the NCAA Championships. However, only the top five divers make it, so I tell them to shoot for qualifying to finals and then compete to dive at NCAAs.”

SWIMMING & DIVING

Obendorf notched a top-10 finish in the prelims on 1-meter, placing ninth with a score of 296.60. In the finals, he placed 10th with a 298.70 and a combined score of 595.30. For the Mountaineer women, Calcut advanced to the finals on 3-meter and on platform. Thanks to her prelims score of 253.95 and a 16th-place finish on 3-meter, she advanced to the finals where she placed 16th overall with a score of 251.35 and a combined score of 505.30. On platform, Calcut placed 12th with a score of 385.85. “I think Maddy and Julia had outstanding performances,” Grapner said. “They handled the competition as a good learning experience and were able to see the value of their hard work from the season. They now know what it takes to qualify for the NCAA Championships and have started to set their goals higher. I am looking forward to seeing what they will do in the next three years.”

On June 29, Marsh tied for 46th place overall and finished second in his heat in the 100 freestyle with a time of 50.46. Spencer raced in the 200 breaststroke, finishing 60th with a time of 2:19.11. On June 30, Carr competed in the 200 individual medley, finishing second in his heat and 30th overall with a personal-best time of 2:03.44. In the 100 butterfly on July 1, Bohman won his heat and finished 20th overall, touching the wall with a personal-best time of 53.37. Bohman, who improved on his career-best time by 0.36 seconds, came just 0.09 seconds shy of a top-16 finish and was the second alternate in the semifinals due to two scratches. Marsh also competed in the 100 butterfly, finishing sixth in his heat and 73rd overall with a time of 54.81. He began the day in the 50 freestyle, where he finished 102nd overall with a time of 23.41.

U.S. OLYMPIC TRIAL QUALIFIERS Four members of the men’s swimming team competed at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials from June 26-July 3 in Omaha, Nebraska. WVU graduate Bryce Bohman, seniors Andrew Marsh, Max Spencer and junior Nate Carr raced in a total of nine events at the Olympic Trials in hopes of earning a spot on the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team. “Though we didn’t reach our goal of getting a second swim this week, we did have our most consistent week with top-30 finishes, lifetime-best times and swimming fast in prelims,” said coach Vic Riggs. “Having Andrew place 20th in the 100 backstroke and Bryce at No. 18 in the 100 butterfly are the team’s highest placings at this meet in team history. “I’m very proud of all of them this week. Obviously your goal is to come here and have everything go perfectly. When

E. GORDON Gee, PRESIDENT

Dr. E. Gordon Gee is one of America’s most prominent higher education leaders, having served as president of some of the most prestigious public and private universities for more than three decades. When he returned to lead West Virginia University in 2014 as the institution’s 24th president, it was a homecoming of sorts. He was first named WVU president in 1981 at age 36 – at the time, considered among the youngest persons to ever serve as a university president. He led WVU until 1985 when he went on to presidencies at the University of Colorado (198590), Brown University (1998-2000) and Vanderbilt University (2001-07). He served as president of The Ohio State University from 1990-97 and again from 2007-13. On his return to the Morgantown campus, he said, “This is not a job to me; it is a calling.” His leadership style bears that out as he works tirelessly to advance the University’s land-grant mission and open doors to the American dream. In his latest address to the University community, he called for reinventing education for our young people, on our campuses, throughout our state and beyond; transforming health care for our citizens; and cultivating prosperity in our communities. “Doing our best for the 1.8 million people of West Virginia is our noblest calling and our proudest distinction,” he said. Gee has built a special relationship with the students as well as the state’s citizens, making it a point to visit students where they live, learn and socialize -- and visiting all 55 West Virginia counties during his inaugural year – and at least half in subsequent years. Born in Vernal, Utah, Gee graduated from the University of Utah with an honors degree in history and earned his J.D. and Ed.D. degrees from Columbia University. He clerked under Chief Justice David T. Lewis of the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals before being named a judicial fellow and staff assistant to the U.S. Supreme Court. In this role, he worked for Chief Justice Warren Burger on administrative and legal problems of the Court and federal judiciary. Gee returned to Utah as an associate professor and associate dean in the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University, and was granted full professorship in 1978. One year later, he became dean of the WVU College of Law, and, in 1981, was named WVU’s 19th president. Gee serves on several education-governance organizations and committees, including the Big 12 Conference Council of Presidents and formerly the Business Higher Education Forum and the American Association of Universities. He was chair of the American Council on Education’s Commission on Higher Education Attainment and served as co-chair of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities’ Energy Advisory Committee. In 2009, King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia invited

him to join its international advisory board. In 2009, Time magazine named him one of the top 10 university presidents in the United States. Active in many national professional and service organizations, he is on the executive committee of the National 4-H Council Board of Trustees and serves on the Board of Directors of the American Council on Education, the nation’s largest higher education organization. He has also served on the boards for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Limited Brands. In 2011, Gee began serving as secretary on the Board of Directors of Ohio’s economic development program, JobsOhio. In 2011-12, Governor John Kasich asked him to chair the Ohio Higher Education Capital Funding Collaborative and the Ohio Higher Education Funding Commission. In December 2012, he began serving on the Columbus Education Commission. Gee has received many honorary degrees, awards, fellowships and recognitions. He is a fellow of the prestigious American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest science organization. In 1994, Gee received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the University of Utah, as well as from Teachers College of Columbia University. In 2013, he received the ACE Council of Fellows/Fidelity Investments Mentor Award and the Outstanding Academic Leader of the Year Award on behalf of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. He is the co-author of 11 books, including Law, Policy and Higher Education, published in 2012. He has also authored many papers and articles on law and education. Gee’s daughter, Rebekah, is the Medicaid Medical Director for the State of Louisiana, and an assistant professor of Public Health and Medicine at Louisiana State University. She is also a Norman F. Gant/American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology/IOM Anniversary Fellow. Dr. Rebekah Gee is married to David Patrón and they have five children.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Since being named Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Associate Vice President at West Virginia University in January 2015, Shane Lyons has not been interested in headlines, he’s been interested in results. Working furiously behind the scenes, Lyons rolls up his sleeves every day for the betterment of WVU’s student-athletes, fans and athletic department. In his second year on the job, he keeps his fingers on the pulse of more than $110 million in athletic facility improvements that will be completed in the next year. In fact, his first year on the job can be defined as a year of fan enhancements to the WVU Coliseum and Milan Puskar Stadium as he has worked tirelessly to modernize 46- and 36-year-old facilities. Next up on his agenda are student-athlete enhancements with a new Olympic sport weight and training room. Also in the coming year, Lyons will continue to work with the Morgantown community on bringing a $45 million aquatic and track center to Morgantown, which will provide health and fitness benefits to all ages. When he’s not in his office, he’s an energized fundraiser where his efforts and honesty are appreciated by Mountaineer Athletic Club donors. Lyons oversees 18 varsity sports, a department budget of approximately $88 million, 200 employees, and approximately 500 student-athletes. He has already put the finishing touches on a $21 million baseball park and renovations are in the final stages to the football and basketball facilities that will bring long overdue new restrooms, concessions, ADA seating and fan comfort. Leaving the headlines to others, Lyons, confidently behind the scenes, directed a department in his first year that brought an 18th national championship for rifle, 30 All Americans, 110 All-Conference performers, 18 academic award winners and 109 Academic All-Conference selections. His work with WVU President E. Gordon Gee’s senior leadership team, as well as the Big 12 Conference and other national committees has brought additional respect and positive exposure to his department and the University. He currently serves on the Big 12 Administration Committee, Finance and Budget Committee and the Game Management and Officiating Subcommittee. Lyons came to West Virginia after spending three years as the deputy director of athletics and chief operating officer at Alabama where he worked closely on day-to-day strategic leadership and direction of the Crimson Tide Athletic program. During his time at Alabama, his responsibilities included oversight of a $120 million budget, management of the day-to-day operations of the department and oversight of the Crimson Tide’s 21 sports teams. In addition, he played a pivotal role in a historic renegotiation of Alabama’s multimedia rights agreement that started in 2014 and was involved in several significant capital projects totaling more than $85 million. The Crimson Tide won seven national titles in five different sports during his time there – two in football, two in men’s golf, one in women’s golf, one in gymnastics and one in softball. He also played a critical role in the hiring of four Alabama head coaches. Prior to joining the Alabama staff in November 2011, Lyons spent 10 years as an associate commissioner at the Atlantic Coast Conference. At the ACC, Lyons focused on conference-wide compliance and academic initiatives, providing direct assistance to the conference’s presidents, chancellors and athletics directors in matters dealing with NCAA regulatory matters. In addition, he served as the ACC’s human resource manager and was responsible for the administration, negotiation and mediation of the employee benefits program and managing the conference’s organizational policies and procedures. He was part of the senior administrative team for ACC events, including the football championship game, the men’s basketball tournament and men’s and women’s NCAA basketball events. He also was a member and served as chairman on many prominent committees within the NCAA Governance structure during his tenure with the ACC. Prior to working at the ACC, Lyons served as associate athletics director for compliance at Big 12 member Texas Tech from 1998 to 2001. During that time, Lyons assumed responsibility for the leadership, administration and implementation of a comprehensive NCAA compliance program with emphasis toward rules education and extensive monitoring systems. He also served as oversight administrator for several of the Red Raiders’ athletic teams and had financial and operational supervision of the strength and conditioning, nutritional and sports medicine units.

Before joining Texas Tech, Lyons worked at the NCAA for almost 10 years as a senior membership services representative, where he was responsible for the oversight and coordination of the 25 membership service representatives. Lyons began his career in college athletics in July 1988 as assistant commissioner of the Big South Conference. With the Big South, he was in charge of conference-wide compliance and championships. A native of Parkersburg, West Virginia, and a graduate of Parkersburg High, Lyons was a standout basketball player for the Big Reds. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in sport management from WVU in 1987 and 1988, respectively. He and his wife, Emily, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have two children: Cameron and Brooke. Lyons is the University’s 12th athletic director.
