A CHAMPIONSHIPS

Year in and year out the West Virginia swimming and diving teams compete at a high level in hopes of obtaining the ultimate program goals of sending studentathletes to the NCAA Championship, as well as finishing at the top of the conference championships.

During the 2016-17 season, the Mountaineers saw Jake Armstrong become the program’s ninth Big 12 champion. Armstrong won the men’s 100 breaststroke at the Big 12 Championship meet, earning a first-place time of 53.09, the secondfastest time in program history in the event. The breakthrough became WVU’s first breaststroke champion for either the men or women. The Mountaineers finished with one gold medal, 11 silver medals and eight bronze medals at the conference meet, leading to 24 Mountaineers being named to either the All-Big 12 first or second teams. Seven divers - Alex Obendorf, Logan McHenry, Austin Smith, Julia Calcut, Averly Hobbs, Madelyn Woods and Gerald Hodges – also qualified for the NCAA Zone Championships last season. Five advanced to the finals, including Obendorf, who earned final-round appearances on all three boards. With past success to celebrate and large goals for the future, WVU will continue to make the push toward training promising student-athletes into national contenders. WVUSwimDive

The Big 12 enters its 21st year, West Virginia enters its sixth season in one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier athletic conferences, whose focus is on stability, strength and success. Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby enters his sixth year with the conference. His leadership among the ten member schools continues to foster national recognition in the conference in academics and athletics. Big 12 institutions create a league that encompasses five states and nearly 37 million people. More than 4,200 student-athletes from across the United States and around the World compete annually in the sports sponsored by the Conference. The Big 12 is a strong conference that, like WVU, values quality academic and athletic programs, and has a great tradition of success. Whether in the pool, in the classroom, or within the community, the student-athletes, administrators, coaches and meet officials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship. Since it began competition in 1996-97, the league can boast of 53 NCAA team titles and 552 individual national championships. In its first 17 years, the Conference has distributed more than $1.6 billion to its member institutions. The conference office is headquartered in Irving, Texas.

STRENGTH AND

SWIMMING & DIVING

Athletic excellence and strength and conditioning go hand-in-hand at West Virginia University. WVUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength and conditioning staff ensures that the swimming and diving athletes are on year-long programs designed to improve 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. Plyometric/jump training is done to increase explosiveness on starts, turns, underwater kicking and height off the boards. Additionally, each athlete is educated on correct dietary habits and essential vitamins and minerals necessary to be an elite athlete. Student-athletes have the opportunity to meet with nutritionists, go on guided grocery store tours and receive diets designed specifically for them. WVU believes hard work and dedication away from practices and meets can go a long way in assisting a student-athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pre-competition preparation and in-pool performance.

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 Olympicsized, 50-meter pool, the community and WVU are working together to make this possible. The estimated $40 million facility, Mountaineer Center 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. Construction began on the complex in August 2017. 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 spring of 2019, 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, a 119,000-square feet venue with the pool itself covering 12,730 square feet. 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. The WVU Natatorium seats approximately 500.

COMMUNITY

SWIMMING & DIVING

The WVU swimming and diving teams recognize that it’s important to win in the pool, but it’s equally important to succeed in 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 stride to travel outside of the immediate area to lend a hand. The team 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 for the past several seasons, while Mountaineer coaches and swimmers also volunteer with the Special Olympics and take part in Relay for Life of Monongalia County, the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. The annual event 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. It’s all part of WVU swimming and diving’s effort to make a positive difference around the community.

HEAD COACH

11TH SEASON AT WEST VIRGINIA

In more than a decade 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, who enters his 11th season at the helm in 2017-18, 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, eight Academic All-Americans, five Big 12 Scholar-Athletes of the Year, 21 Olympic Trials qualifiers and a fourtime Olympic medalist.

LAST SEASON West Virginia saw records fall and a championship won in the 2016-17 season. Headlined by sophomore Jake Armstrong’s win in the men’s 100 breaststroke, the Mountaineers claimed one gold medal, 11 silver medals and eight bronze medals at the 2017 Big 12 Championship. In all, 11 members of the swimming and diving teams were named to the All-Big 12 First Team, while 14 others earned second-team recognition. The performances were good enough to push the WVU men to a second-place finish at the conference meet, while the women finished fourth. Armstrong’s victory became the fifth Big 12 men’s title and ninth overall since joining the conference in 2013. His time of 53.09 was the secondfastest in program history in the event. The Mountaineers also enjoyed two swimming records broken over the course of the year. First, senior Emma Skelley broke the WVU pool record in the 1,650 free at Big 12 vs. Big East Weekend on Oct. 15, 2016. Skelley earned a time of 16:56.11, the best ever at the WVU Natatorium. At the Big 12 Championship, sophomore Emma Harris broke the WVU school record in the 200 breast. She earned a time of 2:12.37 in the event. Away from the pool, WVU swimming and diving had another strong year in the classroom. Both teams earned CSCAA Scholar All-America Team accolades and 21 Mountaineers were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Team. Junior Amelie Currat was named a CoSIDA Academic All-American and was honored with the Big 12 Women’s Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Additionally, senior Nathan Howells and junior James Koval earned the Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Award for their strong work academically.

2015-16 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

SWIMMING AND DIVING

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 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 studentathletes to CSCAA Individual Scholar All-America recognitions.

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH

DAMION

Dennis 11TH SEASON AT WEST VIRGINIA

12 First Team and 14 others named to the second team.

Damion Dennis enters his 11th season with the Mountaineer swimming and diving program in 2017-18, and he is in his fifth 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 three 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 Tim Squires and one from 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, 37 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. The accolades continued for WVU’s men’s and women’s teams last season. The Mountaineers combined to earn one gold, 11 silver and eight bronze medals at the 2017 Big 12 Championship, leading the way for 11 swimmers being named to the All-Big

SWIMMING AND DIVING

Highlighted by sophomore Jake Armstrong’s 100-yard breaststroke Big 12 title, the Mountaineer men finished second, while the women placed fourth at the conference meet. Armstrong’s time of 53.09 in the 100 breast final went down as the second-fastest in program history. He became WVU’s fifth male Big 12 champion and ninth overall since joining the conference in 2013. In the classroom, 21 members of the swimming and diving teams earned Academic All-Big 12 honors, and both squads were again named CSCAA Scholar All-America honors. 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 AllBig 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.

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 allconference swimmer. Dennis and his wife, Hillary, have two sons, Jameson and Hudson.

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 CaliforniaSan 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.

2017-18

SeasonPreview

With a solid blend of young and old, the West Virginia University men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams are ready for a new season full of possibilities. The Mountaineers feature the necessary depth to compete at a high level entering a new season, as both programs take aim at big conference and national goals.

Experience is a big theme on springboard, too, where seniors Logan McHenry and Michael Proietto are bracing for a big year ahead. Proietto is the school-record holder on 1-meter, while McHenry, an All-Big 12 First Team selection last season, has shown constant improvement throughout his collegiate career.

Following a second-place finish for the men and fourthplace finish for the women at the 2017 Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championships, both programs are hungry to take the next step. And with numerous All-Big 12 performers returning to the pool this season, the Mountaineers are confident the 2017-18 campaign will be one to remember.

SENIORS

Leadership and experience starts at the top this season. The Mountaineers will lean on 15 seniors (10 men, five women) to help the team continuously improve and grow. Redshirt seniors Nate Carr and Frank Csonka are back after redshirting a year ago, poised to finish their Mountaineer careers in style. Carr, a 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trial qualifier, has plenty of big-race experience, as does Csonka, who earned All-Big 12 First Team status in 2015 as part of a second-place 200 freestyle relay team.

MorganBULLOCK

Other seniors like James Koval, Chris McMahon, Drew Riebel and others will also be responsible for showing their younger WVU teammates the way toward success. For the women, Academic All-American Amelie Currat is back for WVU to close out her successful career in Morgantown. Joined by veterans Madeline Bolin, Taylor Gill, Celia Martinez and Loren Williams, the WVU women’s team has the necessary leadership to make great strides in and out of the pool. Together, WVU’s motivated senior class has the look of determination to lead the Mountaineers to success.

NEWCOMERS

WVU welcomes 14 newcomers to the program for the 2017-18 season, including seven men and seven women. The program’s newest Mountaineers arrive from near and far, with student-athletes hailing from inside the state, as well as national and international locations.

SWIMMING AND DIVING

Joining the team this year are Sofia Bernard, Nathan Burd, David Dixon, Kayla Gagnon, Giselle Gursoy, Max Gustafson, Olivia Heflin, Philip Kay, Caleb Keck, Angelo Russo, Callie Smith, Jacob C. Tremblay, Luisa Winkler and Ally VanNetta.

WVU’s depth promises to provide the coaching staff flexibility and confidence when choosing the best possible lineups this season.

SCHEDULE

WVU’s 2017-18 schedule features four home regularseason meets at the WVU Natatorium. The Mountaineers open the season with the seventh annual West Virginia State Games on Oct. 6-7, a competition featuring collegiate swimming and diving programs from across the Mountain State. On Oct. 27-28, WVU hosts a pair of Big East Conference opponents in Seton Hall and Xavier. Together, the three programs have made up Big 12 vs. Big East Weekend in each of the past three years. NateCARR

“Each student-athlete brings to WVU the Mountaineer qualities we are looking for in their athletic ability as well as their commitment to academic excellence,” said WVU coach Vic Riggs, who enters his 11th season at the helm. “The diversity and talent of this class makes it one of our best incoming classes in recent years. I’m looking forward to their contributions and growth in our program as individuals and teammates. With this class, we have taken another step forward towards our goals as a program and becoming a consistent NCAA-qualifying team and working towards being a top-25 program.”

“This season’s schedule gives both teams a wide range of competition,” Riggs said. “It is always nice to start the season off by hosting the West Virginia State Games. The Seton Hall/Xavier weekend will be a new format and I think will provide some great racing.”

PLENTY OF DEPTH

Following a productive season for many of West Virginia’s underclassmen in 2016-17, the combination of youth and maturity has the potential to bring a positive impact to the WVU Natatorium this season. Many Mountaineer swimmers and divers have already gained valuable pool experience against some of the nation’s best, allowing them to raise the bar for the program’s standards and expectations. The Mountaineers return nine All-Big 12 First Team performers from a year ago, including junior Jake Armstrong, who won the Big 12 title in the 100 breaststroke last season. WVU also welcomes back 15 All-Big 12 Second Team selections. What’s more, five divers who advanced to the NCAA Zone Championships return this season as well.

AmelieCURRAT

Following a midseason trip to the Ohio State Invitational (swimming) in Columbus, Ohio, and Frank Elm Invitational (diving) in Piscataway, New Jersey, on Nov. 17-19, the Mountaineers will return home to host rival Pitt on Jan. 6. Later on, WVU travels to Fort Worth, Texas, for a Jan. 13 date with Big 12 foe TCU. Then, the Mountaineers return to the Natatorium for a meet against Villanova and Iowa State on Jan. 27. That will lead WVU into the Big 12 Championships, which will be held on Feb. 21-24 in Austin, Texas, where the Mountaineers will compete for a conference championship.

TraytonSALADIN

In all, WVU’s men’s roster features 10 seniors, eight juniors, 10 sophomores and seven freshmen, while the women’s team is represented by five seniors, 10 juniors, six sophomores and seven freshmen.

“Heading back to the Ohio State Invite gives us the competition needed to set us up for a successful second half of the season,” Riggs said. “January is rivalry month again, and having Pitt, Iowa State and Villanova at home will be exciting. I look forward to each meet giving the teams an opportunity to improve and prepare for Big 12’s and NCAA’s.” The NCAA Zone A Diving Championships are set for Mar. 5-7, in Piscataway, New Jersey, while the Women’s NCAA Championships will take place on Mar. 14-17 WVUSwimDive

Review

2016-17

The 2016-17 season saw championships, record-breaking performances and overall growth within the program for the West Virginia men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams.

SENIORS Four Mountaineers completed their journeys with WVU swimming and diving in 2016-17: Mackenzie Braden, Austin Green, Nathan Howells and Emma Skelley.

Led by coach Vic Riggs, who completed his 10th season at WVU, the Mountaineers enjoyed athletic and academic accolades while continuing the quest to become a perennial contender inside the conference and at a national level.

Skelley set a pool record in the 1,650 freestyle at the Big 12 vs. Big East Weekend, recording a time of 16:56.11. She earned WVU Student-Athlete of the Week and Big 12 Women’s Swimmer of the Week honors for the accomplishment. She finished as an All-Big 12 First Team selection.

Several Mountaineers earned valuable in-pool experience for the first time. Others trained hard to improve, working to continue their opportunity to make a lasting impact on the program.

Braden was named to the Academic All-Big 12 First Team, while Howells was awarded the Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Award by the Big 12

Conference, the league’s highest academic achievement. Together, the four contributed to the program mightily with their dedication, work ethic and leadership. 2017 BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIPS WVU saw 11 Mountaineers named to the All-Big 12 First Team during the 2017 Big 12 Championships in Austin, Texas. For the second consecutive season, the men’s team earned a second-place finish, while the women placed fourth. The highlight of the week came in the men’s 100 breaststroke where sophomore Jake Armstrong won the program’s ninth Big 12

championship. The Dover, Ohio, native earned a time of 53.09, the second-fastest time in program history in the event. The victory was WVU’s first in the breaststroke. The Mountaineers finished with one gold, 11 silvers and eight bronze medals at the four-day conference meet. Additionally, 15 members of the team were named to the All-Big 12 Second Team for their performances. Following the meet, sophomore Morgan Carr was named the Big 12 Women’s Newcomer of the Year. “It was a very strong week of competition for both teams,” Riggs said. “While the women came up just short of third place, I couldn’t be more proud of how they fought all year. This women’s team hasn’t competed at full strength all year, not one meet, and to be in a race for second after two days and third going into the last night is just great. It shows their desire and determination to win.” 2017 ZONE A CHAMPIONSHIPS The success from the WVU divers continued at the 2017 Zone A Championships in Blacksburg, Virginia. Seven Mountaineers, including Alex Obendorf, Logan

McHenry, Austin Smith, Julia Calcut, Averly Hobbs, Madelyn Woods and Gerald Hodges, qualified for the event. Obendorf advanced to the finals on all three boards at the competition and was one of five Mountaineers to reach the finals on platform. The Hudson, Ohio, native finished 15th in the 1-meter finals, while taking 13th on 3-meter and 12th on platform. Other final-round qualifiers were McHenry on 3-meter, and Smith, Hodges, Calcut and Hobbs on platform. To qualify for the Zone Championships, the women had to score at least 265 points to qualify on 1-meter during the regular season, 280 points on 3-meter and 225 points on platform. The men had to attain scores of at least 300 points on 1-meter meter, 320 points on 3-meter and 300 points on platform in order to advance to the Zone Championships. “All in all, I’m proud of each of the divers who participated,” WVU diving coach Michael Grapner said. “The ultimate goal would have been to qualify for the NCAA Championships, however I’m happy for each of the divers who achieved other personal goals. We will work hard and train for next season.” /WVUSwimDive WVUSwimDive

ACADEMICS The WVU swimming and diving teams routinely excel in the classroom and the 2016-17 season was no different. For their efforts, several Mountaineers, as well as both teams, received well-earned recognition. A total of 21 Mountaineers were named to the All-Big 12 First Team, while two more were selected for the second team. That group was led by junior Amelie Currat, who was named the Big 12 Women’s Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year by the conference. Currat was also selected as a CoSIDA All-American Third Team member. She was placed on the Academic All-District First Team. Other accolades included Howells and James Koval’s selections for the Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Award by the Big 12 Conference. Additionally, the men and women’s teams were honored with Scholar All-American Team accolades by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America. “Both teams did a great job in the classroom, and it’s nice to see them recognized,” Riggs said. “To be the only men’s team and one of two

women’s teams to have student-athletes with a 4.0 puts our teams at the top of the conference academically, which is our goal each year.” RECORDS FALLEN WVU saw multiple record fall during the 2016-17 season, including three school records and one pool record. At the 2017 Big 12 Championships, sophomore Emma Harris broke her own school record in the 200 breaststroke, touching the wall in 2:12.37. However, the record-breaking performances didn’t end there. On springboard, Proietto set a new WVU record in the 1-meter dive at the Big 12 Championships, earning a score of 366.83. Obendorf’s score of 332.70 on platform at the conference meet was also a new program-best. The team’s lone pool record of the season came at the Big 12 vs. Big East Weekend, when set a new WVU Natatorium mark with a time of 16:56.11 in the 1,650 freestyle.

PRESIDENT

E. GORDON Gee, 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, 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 (1985-90), 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 noted that for 150 years, the institution has been a polar star guiding West Virginians toward a brighter tomorrow. He said, “That is why, in this milestone year, we recommit our University to living the values that drive our work. Serving our students and our state is not just our duty — it is our passion.” 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 has served on several education-governance organizations and committees, including the Big 12 Conference Council of Presidents, 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. Gee is serving as chair of the Big 12 Board of Directors Executive Committee for the 2017-18 year. 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, as well as on the board of trustees of the Royal University for Women in Bahrain, with which WVU has a long-standing academic partnership. A recipient of the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award, he is an executive board member of Boy Scouts of America. He has also served on the boards for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Limited Brands.

J.D, ED.D

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. In the summer of 2016, Gee announced his engagement to Laurie Erickson, leader of the Erickson Foundation. Gee’s daughter, Rebekah, is Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health. In addition to that role, she is a practicing gynecologist and Gratis Faculty at the Louisiana State University School of Medicine and Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. Dr. Rebekah Gee is married to David Patrón and they have five children.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

SHANE Lyons

The 2017-18 season is Shane Lyons’ third full year as director of athletics at West Virginia University. If the next year is anything like the previous two, the Mountaineer athletics story will be full of positive results and continued success. In year two, Lyons put the finishing touches, to rave reviews, on $23 million in renovations to the WVU Coliseum, while $50 million in renovations and fan enhancements to Milan Puskar Stadium finished in August 2017. Lyons is always on the go, focusing his energy daily on the betterment of more than 500 student-athletes. His open lines of communications have made him a popular role model for WVU athletes, and his honest, fair and caring approach has energized an athletic department that turned in record results in 2017. Under Lyons’ leadership, 2017 was one of the best in WVU history. Six teams were nationally ranked, football turned in a 10-win season, women’s soccer played for the national championship and had the Hermann Trophy winner, men’s basketball reached the Sweet 16, women’s basketball won the Big 12 championship and rifle won its 19th national championship. Overall, the Mountaineers registered in 24 All-Americans, 104 all-conference performers, 20 academic award winners, 121 academic all-conference selections, 10 Olympians, one Olympic gold medalist and two silver medalists. Overseeing 18 varsity sports, a self-sustaining department budget of more than $90 million and more than 200 employees, Lyons’ tireless efforts in the coming year will be geared toward getting started on a new $45 million aquatic and track center in Morgantown, and a continued focus, on the growth and cultivation of the more than $23 million in fundraising efforts brought in by the Mountaineer Athletic Club. He will also direct phase two of the Coliseum renovations, which will bring the building up to ADA seating code, and for the first-time ever, Milan Puskar Stadium will have two video boards to improve in fan entertainment and information. While some outside observers may think that he is a behind-the-scenes guy, the people who count will tell you that Lyons is a results-oriented leader who has his finger on the pulse and is a positive influence on the entire department. 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. Also in 2017-18, Lyons will chair the overall athletic directors committee for the Big 12. 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. 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. Lyons, the University’s 12th athletic director, and his wife, Emily, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have two children: Cameron and Brooke.
