Choosing to become a Mountaineer student-athlete is special. Without a professional sports team in the state, West Virginia residents and fans throughout the region love West Virginia University athletics. The Mountaineers have the unique opportunity to represent themselves, their teammates and their University to news media, alumni, friends, family and the general public. The interaction with these groups is also part of their educational process. By taking advantage of these opportunities, a positive impact on a student-athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career at West Virginia is formed, which can lead into life after donning the Old Gold and Blue.

IN THE

SPOTLIGHT

A CHAMPIONSHIP

PROGRAM

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 student-athletes to the NCAA Championship, as well as finishing at the top of the conference championships. During the 2017-18 season, the Mountaineers saw Jake Armstrong and Tristen Di Sibio claim Big 12 individual championships, while Armstrong and Morgan Bullock earned honorable mention All-America honors. Armstrong successfully defended his 100 breaststroke title at the 2018 Big 12 Championship in a finals time of 52.59. Di Sibio won gold in the 200 breaststroke with a dramatic victory in 1:56.00. The duo brought home the Mountaineers’ 11th and 12th individual/relay Big 12 titles. WVU finished with two gold, 16 silver and 12 bronze medals at the conference meet, leading to 27 Mountaineers being named to either the All-Big 12 First or Second Team. Five West Virginia swimmers qualified for the 2018 NCAA Championships, as Bullock and Emma Harris represented the women’s team, while Armstrong, Di Sibio and David Dixon earned spots from the men’s team. Armstrong (100 breast) and Bullock (200 fly) recorded honorable mention All-America performances. Additionally, six divers – Julia Calcut, Averly Hobbs, Logan McHenry, Austin Smith, Callie Smith and Madelyn Woods – qualified for the 2018 NCAA Zone A Championships. Calcut and McHenry advanced to a pair of event finals, on 1- and 3-meter. With past success to celebrate and large goals for the future, WVU will continue to make the push toward training promising studentathletes into national contenders.

SWIMMING & DIVING

West Virginia enters its seventh season in one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier athletic conferences, whose focus is on stability, strength and success. Commissioner Bob Bowlsbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership among the 10 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. The Big 12 has served home to nearly 100 individual National Champions over the years, as well as multiple Team National Champions. In just two decades, the Conference has distributed nearly $2 billion to its member institutions. The conference office is headquartered in Irving, Texas.

STRENGTH AND

CONDITIONING

Athletic excellence and strength and conditioning go together at West Virginia University. WVUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength and conditioning staff ensures that 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 preparation before competition, as well as in-pool performance.

AQUATIC

SWIMMING & DIVING

FACILITIES

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 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. With plans for an opening in 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 13.5-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

SERVICE

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 strive 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.

STUDENT-ATHLETIC

DEVELOPMENT

West Virginia University offers a variety of services and programs to help student-athletes maximize their academic potential. Department staff members work with coaches, on-campus student service providers and faculty to help student-athletes meet the unique demands of the classroom, the supporting arena and the personal-social challenges they face as developing adults. While many of the headlines center of the Mountaineers’ accomplishments on the playing field, West Virginia athletes have also made some noteworthy strides in the classroom. Some of those strides include of 13 consecutive years where the department has had at least one first team Academic AllAmerican, including Amelie Currat, who was a CoSIDA Academic All-American selection in 2017. To help its student-athletes achieve academic success, one of the nation’s finest facilities resides in the WVU Coliseum - The Athletic Academic Performance Center. The 8,000-square foot facility provides individual and group study areas, a plethora of computer stations and the latest in fingerprint technology used when signing in. Over 500 student-athletes were represented on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll (fall and spring) in 2017-18, of which dozens of them registered a 4.0 GPA. Additionally, 10 Mountaineer student-athletes, including swimmers Marah Bieger and Currat, were named recipients of the 2018 Dr. Gerald Large Academic Achievement Award, the Big 12 Conference’s highest academic honor. Mountaineers student-athletes also 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.

RIGGS 12TH SEASON AT WEST VIRGINIA

In more than a decade at West Virginia, Vic Riggs has helped the WVU swimming and diving teams climb to national prominence. With an academic support system designed around the swimming and diving program, Riggs, who enters his 12th season at the helm in 2018-19, has built a team that is also recognized nationally for success in the classroom. Throughout his coaching tenure at WVU, Riggs has coached 24 individual NCAA qualifiers, 15 NCAA All-Americans, eight Academic AllAmericans, seven Big 12 Scholar-Athletes of the Year, 21 Olympic Trials qualifiers and a four-time Olympic medalist.

LAST SEASON

Whether it was in the pool or out, West Virginia had a plenty to look back on in 2017-18. The Mountaineers earned a pair of second-place team finishes at the 2018 Big 12 Championship, which included juniors Jake Armstrong and Tristen Di Sibio registering individual conference championships. Armstrong successfully defended his 100 breaststroke title with a finals time of 52.59 after breaking the school record in the event during prelims (52.11). For Di Sibio, he took home gold in the 200 breaststroke, winning in a time of 1:56.00. The duo’s accomplishments marked the first time since 2014 that WVU won multiple Big 12 titles in the same season. Under Riggs’ leadership, WVU sent a total of five swimmers to the NCAA Championships. Junior Emma Harris and sophomore Morgan Bullock represented the women’s team, the squad’s first national qualifiers since 2013, while Armstrong and Di Sibio were joined by freshman David Dixon for the men. Armstrong and Bullock went on to grab honorable mention All-America honors at the national meets. Armstrong placed 14th overall in the 100 breaststroke (52.69), while Bullock finished 15th in the 200 butterfly (1:54.77). The 2017-18 season also provided the men’s first undefeated dualmeet campaign since 2006-07. The Mountaineers enjoyed victories over conference foe TCU and rival Pitt, as well as wins over Seton Hall, Villanova and Xavier. On the women’s side, the Mountaineers finished a perfect 2-0 in conference action, including the program’s first victory over Iowa State. Additionally, the two teams combined to break 15 school and six pool records during the 2017-18 season. WVU again excelled academically a year ago, as both teams earned CSCAA Scholar All-America Team honors. For the sixth consecutive season, the Mountaineers also garnered Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors, as seniors Amelie Currat and James Koval were awarded the distinction. Currat, who also was named a Google Cloud CoSIDA Academic All-District At-Large selection, became the first swimmer in Big 12 history to win the Scholar-Athlete of the Year award twice. Currat, along with junior Marah Bieger, also was selected for the Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement Award, the Big 12’s highest academic conference honor.

2016-17

West Virginia saw records fall and a championship won in the 2016-17 season. Headlined by 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 secondplace finish at the conference meet, while the women finished fourth. Armstrong’s victory marked the sixth Big 12 men’s title and 10th overall since joining the conference in 2013. His time of 53.09 was the secondfastest in program history in the event at the time. The Mountaineers also tallied a pair of broken records 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 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. 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 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 Marsh set the mark in the 100 backstroke with a 45.41, taking 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 All-Big 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 Howells was named the 2015-16 Big 12 Men’s Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year. 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 was the first for Howells and the sixth award in program history for the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams at the time. 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. Additionally, 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

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH

DAMION

DENNIS 12TH SEASON AT WEST VIRGINIA

The accolades have continued for WVU’s men’s and women’s teams over the past two seasons. The Mountaineers combined to earn two gold, 16 silver and 12 bronze medals at 2018 Big 12 Championship, highlighted by junior Jake Armstrong’s successful title defense win in the 100 breaststroke and junior Tristen Di Sibio’s victory in the 200 breaststroke. The Mountaineer men and women each earned a second-place team finish at the conference meet.

DAMION DENNIS

Damion Dennis enters his 12th season with the Mountaineer swimming and diving program in 2018-19, and he is in his sixth 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, including overseeing recruiting and sprint training and assisting 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 14 Mountaineer swimmers in qualifying for the NCAA Division I Swimming and Diving Championships in the last five 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’ tenure, including seven Big 12 champion titles – two from Tim Squires and Jake Armstrong and one from Bryce Bohman, Andrew Marsh and Tristen Di Sibio. Marsh’s performance broke the Big 12 record in the 100 backstroke, which still currently stands. As a coach at West Virginia, Dennis boasts an impressive repertoire of stats: 17 All-Americans, 31 NCAA Championships qualifiers, 40 conference champions, 15 U.S. Olympic Trials qualifiers and one World Championships qualifier. Dennis-coached athletes have consistently been ranked nationally, as well as train for some of the sport’s most prestigious events.

Armstrong’s time of 52.11 in the 100 breast prelims became the fastest in program history, qualifying him for the 2018 NCAA Men’s Championships, where he tied for 14th place and earning honorable mention All-America honors. In the classroom, 30 members of the swimming and diving teams earned Academic All-Big 12 honors in 2017-18, and both squads were again named CSCAA Scholar All-America teams. Seniors Amelie Currat and James Koval won the Big 12 Swimming and Diving ScholarAthlete of the Year awards, marking the second consecutive year Currat has won the award and the seventh time the Mountaineers have won the academic honor over the past six seasons. In 2016-17, the Mountaineers combined to earn one gold, 11 silver and eight bronze medals at the Big 12 Championship, leading the way for 11 swimmers being named to the All-Big 12 First Team and 14 others named to the second team. Armstrong led WVU in the pool by registering the 100 breaststroke Big 12 title. Armstrong became WVU’s sixth male Big 12 champion and 10th overall since joining the conference in 2013. The Mountaineer men finished second, while the women placed fourth at the conference meet. 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 recordbreaking 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 at the time. 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 2014-15 season, Dennis’ coaching led Marsh and Squires to swim qualifying standards for the 2015 NCAA Championships. Squires qualified in the 50 and 100 freestyle, while Marsh qualified in the 100 backstroke, 100 butterfly and 100 freestyle. Dennis helped multiple swimmers to conference and NCAA distinctions in 2013–2014 as well. Mountaineer great Bryce 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 ranked 19th all-time in the United States, and his 200 backstroke ranked 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 title, winning the 50 freestyle in 19.32 to achieve an NCAA ‘A’ cut. Squires also won the 100 freestyle, earning the Men’s Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet honor for his championship performances. He ranked among the best all-time in the U.S. in the 50 freestyle. The 2012–13 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 after a seventh-place finish in the 200 butterfly. On the men’s side, 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.

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 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.

The 2011–212 season was highlighted by the women’s squad finishing 26th at the NCAA Championships. Burnett, Nugent, Kata 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, Nugent finished ninth in the 200 butterfly, also earning honorable mention All-America. 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. 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.

2018-19

SEASON PREVIEW

Following one of the most successful seasons in recent history, the West Virginia University swimming and diving teams are aiming to achieve even more in 2018-19. Led by five returning NCAA Championships qualifiers, including two defending Big 12 individual champions, the Mountaineers possess the firepower and ability to make some major noise in the world of college swimming this season. As always, conference and national goals are at the forefront of the teams’ goals heading into the campaign. Both the men’s and women’s squads earned second-place team finishes at the 2018 Big 12 Championship, featuring numerous all-conference performances and gold medals for Jake Armstrong (100 breaststroke) and Tristen Di Sibio (200 breaststroke). This season, WVU looks to take the next step toward national prominence.

SENIORS

For the second consecutive season, WVU is fortunate to have a double-digit member senior class. A total of 16 senior swimmers and divers (eight men, eight women) are set to provide team leadership and set the tone in and out of the pool. Armstrong, a two-time defending Big 12 champion in the 100 breast, returns for his final campaign in Morgantown, as do returning NCAA qualifier Emma Harris and Tristen Di Sibio.

MOGAN BULLOCK

The diving team will be led by a pair of already-accomplished veterans in Julia Calcut and Austin Smith, WVU’s schoolrecord holder in the men’s platform dive, both of whom have big goals for the NCAA Zones meet and beyond. Additionally, key upperclassmen like Morgan Carr, Drew Damich and Merwane El Merini are back to provide a big impact at the starting block. All three earned All-Big 12 honors a year ago. Other Mountaineer seniors in Marah Bieger, Hudson Carroll, Lexi Glassmire, Sam Hall, Averly Hobbs, Jake Preaskorn, Jake Williams and Madelyn Woods round out WVU’s senior class, which is motivated to continue the program’s recent success.

NEWCOMERS

Eighteen newcomers from around the globe arrive to Morgantown this season to join the Mountaineer swimming and diving teams. Of those, fifteen freshmen begin their collegiate journey, while three transfers look to make an impact in new surroundings. Ben Brooks and Christopher O’Shea arrive from Eastern Michigan to join the men’s team, as does Carroll, who previously captained Buffalo’s men’s program. Those three add to WVU’s list of freshmen men, including Nick Cover, Josh Harlan, Tom Hubbard, Fausto Huerta, P.J. Lenz and Josh Madzy. For the women, nine newcomers are set to contribute for the Mountaineers for the first time: Lauren Beckish, Emma Bliss, Camille Burt, Lauryn Kallay, Reka Kovacs, Bettie Logan, Emma Longley, Abigail Riggs and Megan Zartman.

JULIA CALCUT

“This incoming class is one that will continue to move our program into the future as we move into our new facility next season,” WVU coach Vic Riggs said. “Each brings the qualities that not only make them strong individuals, but make them great Mountaineers. I’m looking forward to working with each of them to help reach their full potential here at WVU.”

DAVID DIXON

ABILITY ALL AROUND

West Virginia’s roster appears as well-rounded as it has been at any point in the past several seasons entering the new campaign. The Mountaineers have a bit of experience, expertise and competitiveness in all areas, which makes for an exciting season full of expectation. Along with WVU’s eight seniors and seven freshmen on the men’s side, the team also features eight juniors and eight sophomores. For the women, eight seniors lead six juniors, five sophomores and nine freshmen. Additionally, the Mountaineers truly have strength in their numbers. The team boasts 11 All-Big 12 First Team performers on the 2018-19 roster, including returning NCAA qualifiers Morgan Bullock and David Dixon, as well as speedsters Julia Nilton, Giselle Gursoy, Angelo Russo, Trayton Saladin and others. The team also has nine returning All-Big 12 Second Team honorees, such as Averly Hobbs, Sam Neaveill, Ryan Kelly, Max Gustafson and Ally VanNetta. From top to bottom, the Mountaineers have no shortage in exceptional athletes. That alone makes the new season a promising one in Morgantown.

SCHEDULE

West Virginia is set to host a pair of regular-season meets at the WVU Natatorium, which will serve as the home for the Mountaineers for the final year in 2018-19. Regular-season action begins at the West Virginia State Games, from Oct. 12-13, in Huntington, before WVU opens at home with a tri-meet against Seton Hall and Xavier, from Oct. 19-20. Following a trip to Villanova on Oct. 27, the Mountaineers will split for two mid-season meets. For the second consecutive season, WVU swimmers will compete at the Ohio State Invitational, from Nov. 15-17, in Columbus, Ohio. The diving team heads to Annapolis to compete at the Navy Diving Invitational on the same dates. USA Swimming’s Winter Nationals are next, running from Nov. 28-Dec. 1, in Greensboro, North Carolina. As the calendar flips to January, WVU again hits the road to take on rival Pitt on Jan. 5, in Pittsburgh. A week later, the teams return home for the final meet in WVU Natatorium history on Jan. 12. The Mountaineers will host TCU for a Big 12 dual meet on Senior Day.From there, the Mountaineer men’s team travels to University Park, Pennsylvania, to battle Penn State in dual-meet action on Jan. 18. The women’s team concludes the regular season with a trip to Iowa State on Jan. 26. Postseason competition begins with the 2018 Big 12 Championship, from Feb. 27-March 2, in Austin, Texas before the 2019 NCAA Zone A Diving Championship commences from March 11-13, in Annapolis, Maryland. The 2019 NCAA Women’s Championships run from March 2023, in Austin, while the 2019 NCAA Men’s Championships are set for a week later, March 27-30, in Austin. “This year’s schedule gives the teams a good set of challenges each meet,” Riggs said. “October will give us the first opportunities to see how the teams are coming together with two road challenges. The Ohio State Invitational and Winter Nationals will help us prepare for NCAAs.

“I’m excited to add Penn State for the men. That will give them a good opportunity to compete on the road against a strong team. Having Pitt, TCU and Iowa State is always exciting for our programs.” WVUSwimDive

REVIEW

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. 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. 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. SENIORS Four Mountaineers completed their journeys with WVU swimming and diving in 2016-17: Mackenzie Braden, Austin Green, Nathan Howells and Emma Skelley. 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 AllBig 12 First Team selection. 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.

JAKE ARMSTRONG and TRISTEN DI SIBIO

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.

WOMEN’S 800 FREESTYLE RELAY TEAM

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.

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 wellearned 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 ScholarAthlete of the Year by the conference.

Other final-round qualifiers were McHenryon 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.”

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.

PRESIDENT » WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY E. GORDON GEE J.D., ED.D.

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 West Virginia University 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 one of his latest addresses 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 is past chair of the American Council on Education’s Commission on Higher Education Attainment and formerly 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 currently serving as chair of the Big 12 Board of Directors Executive Committee and is a member of Forward 50, an initiative working toward student equity, success and outcomes. Last summer, working with Department of Commerce and Marshall University officials, he was instrumental in establishing the West Virginia Forward initiative to bring together state and local leaders in providing a blueprint for alignment and focus on solutions for a united and prosperous West Virginia. It quickly developed into a larger effort with policymakers, experts and government officials working together to formulate results-driven policy to help strengthen and diversify all regions of the state. Active in many national professional and service organizations, he is on the executive committee of the National 4-H Council Board of Trustees as well as on the Board of Trustees of the Royal University for Women in Bahrain, with which West Virginia University 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. 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 over the years. 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 over a dozen books, including his two most recent, “Leading Colleges and Universities” and “Land-Grant Universities for the Future.” He has also authored many papers and articles on law and education. Gee is engaged 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.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS SHANE LYONS ASSOCIATE VICE-PRESIDENT

In his fourth year as the director of athletics at West Virginia University, Shane Lyons has a clear vision for his athletic program. It’s a vision that focuses on the betterment of more than 500 student-athletes and the day-to-day needs that will help them succeed in the classroom and in competition. 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 entire department. Whether it’s regularly scheduled meetings with the student-athletes or his open-door office policy, Lyons has his finger on the pulse of his student-athletes, coaches and staff. His endless energy is devoted to his facilities master plan that will keep West Virginia a strong Power 5 institution and position his department for growth and continued success. Lyons’ facilities master plan isn’t about keeping up with the Joneses, it’s about taking what his department has, improving it and making it complete for the student-athlete. From training, nutrition, medical and competitiveness, Lyons’ vision is for future success, building winning programs and enhancing the overall WVU student-athlete experience. Lyons is about results, and he has already left a great deal of accomplishments in his rear view mirror. He spearheaded and finished more than $100 million in fan enhancements to Milan Puskar Stadium and the WVU Coliseum, broke ground on a $45 million aquatic and track center in Morgantown, completed phase two of Coliseum renovations, bringing the arena up to current ADA seating code, and for the first-time ever, introduced a second video board to Milan Puskar Stadium to provide information and improve fan entertainment. Overseeing 18 varsity sports, a self-sustaining department budget of more than $93 million and 250 employees, Lyons’ leadership has also guided WVU to unparalleled success in the classroom as the department recorded an impressive overall 3.2 GPA in 2018. And, with the student-athlete in mind, he has implemented a Clinical and Sport Psychology unit with a full-time director and professional interns, added specialized learning assistants to the Student-Athlete Development unit and entered into a partnership with WVU Medicine’s Neuroscience Department to assist in the training and recovery of student-athletes, all emphasizing his overall commitment to the well-being and performance student-athletes. Ask him and he’ll tell you it’s not his department, but West Virginia’s department, and he can tell you his vision to improve it not only for the coming year, but for three, five, seven and 10 years down the road. He cares and the proof lies in what he has already accomplished in three years. Additionally, 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. In 2018, he chaired the overall athletic directors committee for the Big 12, was named again to the NCAA Division I Council and will serve as chair of the NCAA Division I Football Oversite Committee. He is also on the board of directors for Mylan Park in Morgantown. 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 rules and interpretations for the 25 membership service representatives and was the staff liaison to various NCAA standing committees. 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. Cameron is a member of Terry Bowden’s football team at Akron and Brooke plays volleyball at Morgantown High School.
