IN THE
SPOTLIGHT
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.

A CHAMPIONSHIP
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. In the 2019-20 season, the Mountaineers moved into their new home at the Aquatic Center at Mylan Park, where the squad hosted nine home meets, including the WVU Invitational, the 2020 Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championship and the 2020 NCAA Zone A Diving Championships.
A pair of swimmers also qualified for the 2020 NCAA Men’s Championships. David Dixon was set to make his third consecutive appearance at the championship, while Hunter Armstrong would be competing for the first time. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 championships were cancelled. Due to the unforeseen cancellation, the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) honored all 2020 qualifiers as All-Americans. The AllAmerica honors were the first for the team since 2014, while Tremblay and Cover became the first divers to earn the recognition in program history. 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.
During the Big 12 Championship, the Mountaineers earned 11 total medals, including five silver and six bronze. A trio of diving records also were broken during the championship. When West Virginia hosted the Zone A Diving Championships for the first time in program history, a pair of men’s divers qualified for the 2020 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships. The duo became the first Mountaineers to qualify for the NCAA Championships since 1983, as well as diving coach Michael Grapner’s first national championship qualifiers of his coaching career.

CONFERENCE
West Virginia enters its ninth season in one of the nation’s premier athletic conferences, whose focus is on stability, strength and success. Commissioner Bob Bowlsby’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 studentathletes from across the United States and around the world compete annually in the sports sponsored by the Big 12 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 as a 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 &
CONDITIONING
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 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 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.

TRAINING
The West Virginia athletic training program looks to get its student-athletes back in the pool in a timely manner while providing quality health care for its student-athletes and coaches. The scope of the athletic training services encompass various domains, including injury recognition, treatment, rehabilitation, prevention, education and counseling that will enable the athlete to maintain an optimal quality of life beyond the span of athletic competition. Multiple athletic training rooms are available for studentathletes, furnished with the latest in technology and equipment. The athletic training staff works in conjunction with team physicians and the athletic administration to assure studentathletes receive quality care throughout their careers at WVU.

A Q U AT I C FA C I L I T I E S :
THE NEW ERA
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 competition in the Natatorium on January 12, 2019, when WVU defeated TCU, 441156, 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.
The aquatic facility is approximately 75,000 squarefeet 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 2019-20, the WVU swimming and diving teams moved 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.
In the team’s inaugural season at the Aquatic Center, the Mountaineers hosted nine home meets, including the 2020 Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championship and the 2020 NCAA Zone A Diving Championships, both of which came to Morgantown for the first time in program history.
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.

COMMUNIT Y
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.
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 from Terra Alta, West Virginia.
In 2019-20, the Mountaineers were recognized by Helper Helper as one of the top-10 Division I swimming and diving community service teams. Helper Helper is the system used by athletics departments across the country to track community service hours for all teams.
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. The team has attended Wyatt’s basketball games, hosted him at home meets, invited him to the Big 12 Championship and held a Harry Potter-themed practice for Wyatt this past season.
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.

It’s all part of WVU swimming and diving’s effort to make a positive difference around the community.

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 a period of 14 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 2019-20, of which dozens of them registered a 4.0 GPA. Additionally, six Mountaineer studentathletes, including swimmers Ryan Kelly and Jack Portmann, were named recipients of the 2020 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 studentathletes 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
» HEAD COACH » 14TH SEASON AT WEST VIRGINIA 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 14th season at the helm in 2020-21, has built a team that is also recognized nationally for success in the classroom. Throughout his coaching tenure at WVU, Riggs has coached 29 individual NCAA qualifiers, 19 NCAA All-Americans, eight Academic All-Americans, eight Big 12 ScholarAthletes of the Year, 21 Olympic Trials qualifiers and a four-time Olympic medalist. LAST SEASON It was a historical season for the Mountaineers in 2019-20, as Riggs’ squad moved into its new home at the Aquatic Center at Mylan Park, hosting nine home events in the inaugural season. From the team’s first home, mid-season invitational – the WVU Invitational – to the Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championship’s first-ever visit to Morgantown, the Mountaineers made the most of their first season in the new facility. At the Big 12 Championship, the men’s team finished second, while the women placed fifth. Riggs’ teams collected 11 total medals at the conference meet, including five silver and six bronze. Twelve members of the squad were named to the All-Big 12 First Team. Although the 2019-20 postseason was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, four members of the men’s team qualified for the 2020 NCAA Championships, including two swimmers in junior David Dixon and freshman Hunter Armstrong. After the cancellation of the championships, the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Board of Directors altered the selection criteria for All-American distinction; thus, Dixon and Armstrong, along with divers Jacob Cardinal Tremblay and Nick Cover, were selected to the 2020 All-America Team. The honors were the first for Riggs’ team since 2014. In addition to their success in the pool, Riggs helped guide his team to success in the classroom as well. Thirty-one Mountaineers were named to the 2020 Academic All-Big 12 Team, with seven student-athletes earning the distinction with perfect 4.0 grade-point averages. Additionally, seniors Ryan Kelly and Jack Portmann were named recipients of the Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement Award, and the two squads were named CSCAA Scholar All-America Teams. 2018-19 Riggs guided the Mountaineers to another successful season in 2018-19. The men earned their fourth consecutive second-place 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 All-America Team in 2018-19.

2017-18 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 dual-meet 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 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 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.

COACHING STAFF 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 Marsh helped accomplish that with successful individual campaigns. Marsh, a junior, qualified in three events, 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 400yard relay team of Marsh, Carr, Ross Glegg and Squires. Riggs’ teams continued to excel in the classroom in 2014-15.

DOZIER
» ASSISTANT COACH » 2ND SEASON AT WEST VIRGINIA
Daniel Dozier enters his second season as an assistant coach with the West Virginia swimming and diving program. In Dozier’s first season with the program in 2019-20, the Mountaineers moved into their new home facility – the Aquatic Center at Mylan Park. WVU hosted nine home meets, including the WVU Invitational and the 2020 Big 12 Championship. Following the conclusion of the regular season, the men’s team had recorded just one loss in dual-meet action, while the women were undefeated in conference meets. At the Big 12 Championship, the men finished second, and the women placed fifth. The Mountaineers collected 11 total medals at the conference meet, including five silver and six bronze. Dozier helped four members of the men’s team qualified for the 2020 NCAA Championships, including a pair of swimmers: junior David Dixon and freshman Hunter Armstrong. Although the championships were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the four qualifiers were honored as CSCAA AllAmericans after the CSCAA Board altered the All-America selection criteria. In addition to their success in the pool, the team saw success in the classroom as well. Thirty-one Mountaineers were named to the 2020 Academic All-Big 12 Team, with seven student-athletes earning the distinction with perfect 4.0 grade-point averages. Additionally, seniors Ryan Kelly and Jack Portmann were named recipients of the Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement Award.

Dozier arrived in Morgantown in the summer of 2019 after a three-year stint as an assistant coach at UNC Asheville. Under Dozier’s guidance, the Bulldogs broke 39 school records and improved nearly 300 points at the Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA) Championship in that span. Dozier, who worked primarily with the sprint and breaststroke groups at UNCA, was honored with the 2019 College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Jean Freeman Scholarship, given annually to six assistant coaches whose exceptional contributions have brought recognition to their college or university, and whose leadership, integrity, honesty, competitive attitude and personal graciousness epitomize those characteristics reflected by Jean Freeman, longtime women’s swimming coach at the University of Minnesota.
Dozier helped the Bulldogs tally a programrecord 820 team points in a sixth-place finish at the 2019 CCSA Championship. The team broke seven school records at the meet, along with two additional freshman records. Dozier also led UNCA to three dual-meet victories in each of the past three seasons. In the classroom, UNCA has been featured on the CSCAA Scholar All-America Team for 14 consecutive semesters. Prior to his time in Asheville, Dozier was a senior group coach at Waves of Wilmington in 2015-16. He also served as the head coach at Quail Hollow Swim Club in 2013-14. A native of Raleigh, North Carolina, Dozier earned a bachelor’s degree in exercise science at UNC Wilmington, while helping the Seahawks to back-to-back CAA Championships. He was named a team cocaptain as a senior.

SEASON PREVIEW
Following the inaugural season in the Mountaineers’ new home, the Aquatic Center at Mylan Park, the West Virginia University men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams are set for another big season in the pool. The finale of the 2019-20 season was cut short by the shutdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic in March, just before the 2020 NCAA Championships were scheduled to take place. The men’s team was looking ahead to a big week at the championships, as four Mountaineer men, including a pair of divers for the first time since 1983, were preparing to compete on the national stage. West Virginia returns three of those four NCAA Championships qualifiers from a year ago, including a two-time Big 12 individual champion in senior
DAVID DIXON 74
swimmer David Dixon. Joining Dixon are divers Jacob Cardinal Tremblay and Nick Cover. Behind the momentum from last season, West Virginia is looking ahead to 2021. Veterans Leading the Way For the fourth consecutive season, the Mountaineers are fortunate to have a double-digit member senior class. Twelve senior swimmers and divers (8 men, four women) are prepared to provide team leadership and set the tone in and out of the pool. Dixon returns to the squad following his third consecutive NCAA bid in 2020, alongside fellow qualifier, diver Jacob Cardinal Tremblay. Dixon was recognized on the All-Big 12 First Team along with Max Gustafson in 2020, while Tremblay, Ben
Brooks, Philip Kay, Jake Lowe and Ryen Van Wyk received All-Big 12 Second Team honors. Denys Kostromin rounds out the men’s senior class. On the women’s side, Kayla Gagnon, Callie Smith, Ally VanNetta and Luisa Winkler return to Morgantown for their final seasons at WVU after successful performances at the Big 12 Championship last season. In addition to a well-rounded senior class, WVU is fortunate to have talent in its junior and sophomore classes as well, including juniors Nick Cover, an NCAA qualifier and All-Big 12 Second Team honoree, and Fausto Huerta, a Big 12 Championship medalist and All-Big 12 First Team member. Sophomore Emily Haimes leads the pack for the women after collecting All-Big 12 First Team honors in 2019-20.

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. Newcomers on the Blocks and Boards Sixteen newcomers from across the country and around the globe join coach Vic Riggs and his Mountaineer swimming and diving teams in Morgantown this season. With just one transfer student-athlete, 15 freshmen are set to begin their college careers at WVU. "The incoming men's and women's classes are two of our strongest in recent years," Riggs said. "The staff did a great job of identifying strong individuals and building those connections with them about WVU and our program. During the recruiting process, it became very apparent that they all share the same values of passion, integrity and commitment that we are looking for to improve our program." Roberts Zemturis joins the diving team from Carson Newman University, while Justin Heimes, Logan McFadden, Dylan Melin, William Mullen, Joe Schaefer, Roanoke Shirk and Brendan Williams complete the freshman class on the men’s side. For the women, Kate Beckish, Jordan Buechler, Paige Dressel, Shelby Gerving, Sara Haggerty, Kaelyn McClain, Lauren Musbach and Abby Reardon are set to begin their collegiate careers this season. 2021 Schedule In their second season at the Aquatic Center at Mylan Park,

SHANE LYONS In his sixth year as the director of athletics at West Virginia University, Shane Lyons’ vison for the athletics program is crystal clear. 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, and it is working. His open lines of communications have made him a popular role model for WVU athletes and coaches. His honest, fair and caring approach has led to 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. His success has brought national exposure to West Virginia as Lyons’ presence is wanted on many national and prestigious committees. He chairs the all-important Football Oversight Committee and is also a member of the NCAA Council. Additionally, Lyons serves on the NCAA Working Group on Transfers, the Football Competition Committee and the NCAA Wrestling Academics Enhancement Working Group. His work with WVU President E. Gordon Gee’s senior leadership team and the Big 12 Conference has brought additional respect and positive exposure to his department and the University. He served on the Big 12 Administration Committee, Finance and Budget Committee and the Game Management and Officiating Subcommittee, while chairing the Big 12 athletic directors committee in 2018. In the office, 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. His 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 studentathlete. It’s an aggressive, $100 million fundraising campaign centered on one of his core values - enhancing the student-athlete experience. The campaign is already making a difference with a complete renovation of football’s Milan Puskar Center and the future emergence of an Olympic Sports Performance Center. And, coming in 2021, Lyons will lead the celebration of the 50th birthday of the WVU Coliseum and oversee the installation of 14,000 new seats, a new videoboard, lighting and sound system for the venerable structure. From training, nutrition, medical and competitiveness, Lyons’ vision is for sustained 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, 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 proudly saw the formal opening of a new $45 million aquatic and track facility that will not only benefit WVU, but also local schools and the entire community. The Mountaineers proudly hosted the 2020 Big 12 swimming and diving championships in that beautiful facility. Additionally, in the last two years, Lyons’ department has hosted the NCAA rifle national championships, the Big 12 golf championship and an NCAA baseball regional. In 2019 and again in 2020, WVU recorded its highest APR score ever and finished above the national average both
