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-athlete’s career at West Virginia is formed, which can lead into life after donning the Old Gold and Blue.

PROGRAM
Year in and year out, the West Virginia University swimming and diving teams compete at a high level in hopes of obtaining the ultimate program goals of sending student-athletes to the NCAA Championships, as well as finishing at the top of the conference championship. During the 2018-19 season, David Dixon claimed a pair of individual championships in the 100 and 200 butterfly at the 2019 Big 12 Championship. Dixon earned a school-record time of 1:42.15 in the 200 fly to win his second title at the event. With his victories, Dixon became the first Mountaineer to win multiple championships at the conference meet since 2014. WVU finished with two gold, nine silver and 10 bronze medals at the Big 12 Championship, leading to 22 Mountaineers being named to either the All-Big 12 First or Second Team. Three West Virginia swimmers qualified for the 2019 NCAA Championships, as Morgan Bullock represented the women’s team, and Dixon and Jake Armstrong earned spots from the men’s team. Additionally, WVU sent nine divers – Camille Burt, Jacob Cardinal Tremblay, Julia Calcut, Nick Cover, Averly Hobbs, P.J. Lenz, Emma Longley, Callie Smith and Madelyn Woods – to the 2019 NCAA Zone A Diving Championships. 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

CONDITIONING

WVUSPORTS.COM
Athletic excellence and strength and conditioning go hand in hand at West Virginia University. WVU’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 – primarily lowerbody 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 diving 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-athlete’s preparation before competition, as well as in-pool performance.

AQUATIC FACILITES:
THE NEW ERA

WVUSPORTS.COM
The 2018-19 campaign marked the West Virginia University swimming and diving team’s final season competing in the WVU Natatorium, which has served as the home of WVU since 1975. The Mountaineers celebrated the final competitio n in the Natatorium on January 12, 2019, when WVU defeated TCU, 441-156, in a Big 12 dual meet. Following the victory, alumni joined the current team on the pool deck for a final singing of “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” circling the competition pool. In 2019-20, the WVU swimming and diving teams are set to move into their new home at the Aquatic Center at Mylan Park, a brand new, state-of-the-art facility that opened in the fall of 2019. Initial planning for the new complex began in the fall of 2015, when 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 worked together to make this possible. A $48 million facility, the Aquatic and Track Complex at Mylan Park is a community facility for all ages. It now serves as the home to WVU’s swimming and diving, cross country and track and field teams. Construction began on the complex in August 2017. The aquatic facility is approximately 75,000 square-feet with a 50-meter competition pool and seating for 1,200 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. In the team’s inaugural season at the Aquatic Center, the Mountaineers are set to host nine home meets, breaking a program record for home events, which was set by the men’s team in the 1985-1986 season. The home slate is highlighted by a trio of conference and national meets, including the 2020 Big 12 Championship, the NCAA Last Chance Qualifier and the 2020 NCAA Zone A Diving Championships, all of which come to Morgantown for the first time this season.

WVUSPORTS.COM
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 local youth swim clubs, teaching the young athletes 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. Over the last two seasons, the Mountaineers partnered with Team IMPACT, a nonprofit, Boston-based organization, whose mission is to improve the quality of life for children facing chronic illnesses through the power of a team. Through Team IMPACT, the Mountaineers were introduced to Wyatt DeWitt, a 5-year-old from Terra Alta, West Virginia. During one of the team’s meets, Wyatt received an official welcome into the Mountaineer swimming and diving family, with help from Team IMPACT’s “Draft Day” ceremony. It’s all part of WVU swimming and diving’s effort to make a positive difference around the community. WVUSwimDive

WVUSPORTS.COM
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 a period of 13 consecutive years where the department has had at least one first team Academic All-American, 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. More than 500 student-athletes were represented on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll (fall and spring) in 2018-19, of which dozens of them registered a 4.0 GPA. Additionally, 11 Mountaineer student-athletes, including swimmers Miranda Marcucci, Jake Williams and Madelyn Woods, were named recipients of the 2019 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, 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.

VIC HEAD COACH » 13th SEASON AT WEST VIRGINIA » CAMBRIDGE, ONTARIO In more than a decade at West Virginia University, 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 13th season at the helm in 2019-20, has built a team that is also recognized nationally for success in the classroom. Throughout his coaching tenure at WVU, Riggs has coached 27 individual NCAA qualifiers, 15 NCAA All-Americans, eight Academic All-Americans, eight Big 12 Scholar-Athletes of the Year, 21 Olympic Trials qualifiers and a four-time Olympic medalist. LAST SEASON Riggs guided the Mountaineers to another successful season in 2018-19. The men earned their fourth consecutive secondplace finish at the 2019 Big 12 Championship, while the women finished in third. The season was highlighted by sophomore David Dixon winning a pair of Big 12 individual championships. Dixon collected victories in the 100 and 200 butterfly to become the first Mountaineer since 2014 to win multiple titles at the event. He earned All-Big 12 First Team honors for his performance. Dixon was one of seven Mountaineer swimmers to earn the honor, while 12 others were named to the All-Big 12 Second Team. In all, WVU combined to earn two gold, nine silver and 10 bronze medals at the conference meet. Three swimmers qualified for the 2019 NCAA Championships, as Dixon and Jake Armstrong represented the men and Morgan Bullock represented the women. Not only were Riggs’ Mountaineers successful in the pool last season, but they also enjoyed plenty of success in the classroom. Junior Ryan Kelly was named the Big 12 Men’s Swimming and Diving Scholar Athlete of the Year, marking the fifth consecutive season and the sixth time in seven years WVU has won the conference honor in men’s or women’s swimming and diving. Additionally, 29 Mountaineers landed on the Academic All-Big 12 Team, including 23 on the first team. WVU was once again named a CSCAA Scholar AllAmerica Team in 2018-19. 2018-19 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). 2017-18 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 ScholarAthlete 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 second-place 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 second-fastest 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 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 Howells was named the 2015-16 Big 12 Men’s Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year. How ells 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

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, Carr, Ross Glegg and Squires.
Among those honored, three in the entire conference were nominated with a 4.00 grade point average, all West Virginia student-athletes – David Palley, Sloan Storie and Jenelle Zee.
Riggs’ teams continued to excel in the classroom 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 CSCAA and four were named Academic All-Americans by CoSIDA.
Palley and Zee also were named to the 2013 Capital One Academic All-District 2 At-Large Teams, while Liam McLaughlin was named the inaugural Big 12 Swimming and Diving Men’s Scholar Athlete of the Year.
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 also were 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 also helped Squires earn Big 12 Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet honors and coached nine studentathletes to CSCAA Individual Scholar All-America recognitions. His endless devotion to academic success was evident as the women’s team posted the highest team GPA in the Big 12 Conference. The men’s and women’s squad together garnered CSCAA Scholar All-America distinctions. 2012-13 The 2012-13 season was a banner year for academics within the swimming and diving teams.

SEASON PREVIEW
After a record-breaking season in 2018-19, the West Virginia University swimming and diving teams are looking to build on last year’s successes in the 2019-20 campaign. Led by two returning NCAA Championships qualifiers and a two-time defending Big 12 individual champion, the Mountaineers are poised to have another stellar year in the pool this season. As is the case year after year, postseason goals at conference and national meets loom at the front of the teams’ minds heading into the new year.

Several other members of these classes have swimming and diving experience at the conference meet, giving the Mountaineers an edge in postseason competition this year.
WVU is set to move into its new home at the Aquatic Center at Mylan Park this season, in which the team will host nine home meets. With a true home-pool advantage awaiting them this season, the Mountaineers are looking to take the next step toward national distinction in 2019-20.

VETERANS LEAD THE CHARGE
For the third consecutive season, the Mountaineers are fortunate to have a double-digit member senior class. A total of 15 senior swimmers and divers (10 men, five women) are poised to provide team leadership and set the tone both in and out of the pool. Morgan Bullock, an NCAA Championships and Phillips 66 National Championships qualifier, returns to Morgantown for her senior season, alongside fellow National Championships qualifier, Julia Nilton.

Brandon Christian, Austin Hartke, Ryan Kelly, Matthew Marsh and Jack Portmann also return for their final seasons in Morgantown, after collecting swimming time at the conference meet last season.

Former and current student-athletes celebrated the final competition in the Nat by gathering together to sing “Take Me Home, Country Roads” around the competition pool for the final time.

PRESIDENT » WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY
E. GORDON
GEE
D
r. E. Gordon Gee is one of America’s most prominent higher education leaders, having helmed universities for more than three decades. In 2009, Time magazine named him one of the top 10 university presidents in the United States. Recently, the website Great Value Colleges named him the nation’s top university president. In 2014, Gee returned to West Virginia University, where his career as a university president began. His leadership goals include putting students first, advancing the university’s research agenda, partnering with West Virginia communities and making sure that 1.8 million West Virginians know in their hearts and minds that West Virginia University is their university. 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 West Virginia University College of Law, and, in 1980, was named West Virginia University president. He served in that role until 1985. He went on to lead the University of Colorado (1985-1990), Brown University (1998-2000) and Vanderbilt University (2001-2007).

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
SHANE
I
LYONS ASSOCIATE VICE-PRESIDENT
n his fifth year as the director of athletics at West Virginia University, Shane Lyons’ vison for the athletic program is crystal clear and working. 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 coaches. His honest, fair and caring approach has energized an entire department, which has led to great success on and off the field. 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. He devotes endless energy to his Climbing Higher facilities master plan that will keep West Virginia a strong Power 5 institution and position his department for growth and continued success. Lyons’ Climbing Higher 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. It’s an aggressive $100 million fundraising campaign centered on one of his core values, which is enhancing the student-athlete experience. From training, nutrition, medical and competitiveness, Lyons’ vision is for future success, building winning programs and growing WVU’s strong reputation across the country. He is about results, and he has already left a great deal of accomplishments in his rear-view mirror. In 2019, West Virginia recorded its highest APR score ever at 985 and again finished higher than the national average. The overall athletics department GPA was its highest at 3.26 with 13 teams over a 3.0 GPA for the year. Lyons commissioned and announced an Economic Impact study that showed Mountaineer Athletics produced more than $300 million to the state’s economy and more than $78 million to the local economy. And with the local economy in mind, Lyons’s department will assist with the formal opening of a new $45 million aquatic and track facility that will not only benefit WVU’s swimming and diving program, but also local high schools and the entire community. Among the Mountaineer highlights in the 2019 campaign were 43 All-Americans, 81 All-Conference performers, three conference championships, 159 Academic AllConference selections, seven teams to the NCAA postseason, a fourth-place finish for the Heisman Trophy and 22 professional draft picks among all sports. In addition, Lyons’ department hosted for the first time in history both the NCAA Rifle Championships and the Big 12 golf championship as well as the NCAA baseball regionals for the first time since 1955. In total, WVU athletics hosted more than 160 events during the 2018-19 season. From 2015-18, he spearheaded and finished more than $100 million in fan enhancements to Milan Puskar Stadium and the WVU Coliseum, completed a second phase 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, under Lyons’ leadership, WVU athletics 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 of Mountaineer 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 four years. The director hates to be last, and he rolls up his sleeves every day to make sure WVU is not last in anything. 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 Oversight Committee. He is also a member of the college football competition committee and locally serves on the board of directors for Mylan Park i n 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 the football team at Akron and Brooke attends Morgantown High School.
