IN THE
Spotlight Choosing to become a Mountaineer studentathlete 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.

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. West Virginia broke five school records during the 2021 campaign, including a pair of records during the Big 12 Championships. The Mountaineers earned 11 total medals, including four silver and seven bronze at Conference Championships. WVU qualified eight divers at the 2021 NCAA Zone A Diving Championships. Jacob Cardinal Tremblay made his second consecutive NCAA Swimming & Diving Championship appearance, while Owen Johns, Jake Low and PJ Lenz made their first appearance. The four divers qualified for NCAA Championships marked the first time in program history that multiple divers competed at a single championship. Senior, David Dixon, earned his bid to Nationals for the fourth consecutive season, becoming the first Mountaineer from the men’s team to do so. Dixon earned a 12th-place finish in the 200 butterfly to earn Honorable Mention All-American honors, becoming the 36th All-American and the 27th different Mountaineer from the men’s team to earn All-American status. David Dixon represented WVU at the 2021 U.S. Olympic Team Swimming Trials, competing in the 200-meter butterfly and the 200-meter individual medley. 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.

BIG 12
Conference West Virginia enters its 10th 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 student-athletes 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 AND
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 yearlong 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.

Multiple athletic training rooms are available for student-athletes, furnished with the latest in technology and equipment.

AQUATIC FACILITIES:
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, 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 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. 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 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. Due to Covid-19 and the shortened season, WVU only hosted one meet during their second season at the Aquatic Center. During the 2022 campaign, the Mountaineers will host seven meets, including the 2022 Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championships, from February 23-26.

STUDENT-ATHLETE
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.
Additionally, 14 Mountaineer student-athletes, including swimmers Kayla Gagnon and Ryen Van Wyk, were named recipients of the 2021 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.
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 400 student-athletes were represented on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll (fall and spring) in 2020-21, of which dozens of them registered a 4.0 GPA.

COACHES
VIC RIGGS HEAD COACH | 15h 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 15th season at the helm in 202122, 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, 10 Academic All-Americans, eight Big 12 Scholar-Athletes of the Year, 22 Olympic Trials qualifiers and a four-time Olympic medalist. LAST SEASON Riggs’ led West Virginia to another successful season, despite it being shortened, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the Big 12 Championships, the men earned their sixth consecutive second-place finish, while the women finished fourth. Additionally, nine Mountaineers earned a spot on the All-Big 12 First Team, while 19 were recognized on the All-Big 12 Second Team. Emily Haimes, Harna Minezawa, Jacqueline McCutchan and Jordan Buechler earned silver in the 200 freestyle relay, at Big 12’s, touching in 1:31.05 setting a new program record. Including the 200 free relay, WVU collected 11 medals at the conference meet, including four silver and seven bronze.
The season was highlighted by, senior, David Dixon earning a bid to the 2021 NCAA Swimming Championships for the fourth consecutive season, becoming the first Mountaineer from the men’s team to do so. At NCAA’s, he finished 12th-place in the 200 butterfly to earn Honorable Mention All-America honors. Additionally, Dixon represented WVU at the 2021 U.S. Olympic Team Swimming Trials, competing in the 200-meter butterfly and the 200-meter IM. Riggs has proven to not only lead his team to success in the pool, but in the classroom as well. Both squads were named to the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) during the fall 2020 and the spring 2021 semesters. Alongside the CSCAA honors, 40 Mountaineers were named to the 2021 Academic All-Big 12 Swimming and Diving Team; of those 40, 34 were named to the first team and eight student-athletes earned the honor with a 4.0 GPA, the most among other Big 12 schools. Additionally, Kayla Gagnon and Ryan Van Wyk, were named recipients of the 2021 Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement award. 2019-20 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 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 in the fall. 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.

swimming and diving. Additionally, 29 Mountaineers landed on the Academic AllBig 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.
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.

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. West was a part of another successful campaign in 2018-19, guiding the Mountaineers to impressive conference and national performances. Sophomore David Dixon earned two Big 12 individual championships in the 100 and 200 butterfly in 2019, becoming the first Mountaineer to earn multiple victories at the event since 2014. The Mountaineer men finished in second place at the conference meet, while the women finished in third. Additionally, WVU qualified three swimmers to the 2019 NCAA Championships, including senior Jake Armstrong, junior Morgan Bullock and Dixon. West Virginia broke eight swimming school records in 2018-19, all of which came at the 2019 Big 12 Championship. The Mountaineers also accomplished milestones in the classroom in addition to the pool, as the two squads were again named CSCAA Scholar All-America teams in the fall and spring semesters. Seven student-athletes were named CSCAA Scholar All-America Individuals, while 29 made the Academic All-Big 12 Team. Junior Ryan Kelly became WVU’s fifth Big 12 Men’s Swimming and Diving Scholar Athlete of the Year. West assisted the Mountaineers to a highly successful 2017-18 campaign, where WVU shined on multiple levels and created plenty of momentum to carry into the future. For the first time since 2014, the Mountaineers featured multiple Big 12 individual champions, as juniors Jake Armstrong (100 breaststroke) and Tristen Di Sibio (200 breaststroke) took home gold medals at the 2018 Big 12 Championship. The Mountaineers went on to earn a pair of second-place team finishes at the conference meet. In all, WVU earned two gold, 16 silver and 12 bronze medals. WVU featured five swimmers who qualified for the NCAA Championships in 2017-18 – Armstrong, Morgan Bullock, Di Sibio, David Dixon and Emma Harris. For the men, it was the most swimmers to qualify for the national meet since 2014, while the two women’s qualifiers became WVU’s first since 2013. 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).
COACHES
WVU, which took down 15 school records in 2017-18 and featured the men’s first undefeated dual-meet season since 2006-07, also got the job done in the classroom. Thirty members of the two teams were named to the Academic AllBig 12 First or Second Team. Additionally, Currat repeated as the Big 12 Women’s Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year and was named to the Google Cloud CoSIDA Academic All-District AtLarge team.

In the 2016-17 season, West aided in another men’s second-place finish at the Big 12 Championship, while directing Armstrong to a 100 breaststroke conference title. In the classroom, WVU once again rose the bar. The Mountaineers saw 21 members of the swimming and diving teams named to the Academic All-Big 12 Team. Currat also earned CoSIDA Academic All-America Third Team status and was awarded the 2017 Big 12 Women’s Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year award.

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 Big 12 Championship record when Marsh set a mark of 45.41 in the 100 backstroke, taking home the gold medal at the championship meet. Marsh also set a WVU school record in the 100 butterfly, with a prelims time of 46.59 to advance him to the ‘A’ final. Eighteen Mountaineers earned medals at the fourday championship with eight All-Big 12 First Team performances and 12 All-Big 12 Second Team honors. West helped coach 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, 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 and the fourth overall for the WVU swimming and diving program. Howells also was named to the 2016 Academic All-District At-Large Team. Additionally, 24 members of the team were named to the 2016 Academic All-Big 12 Team.

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY SWIMMING & DIVING
Following the shortened 2021 season, the Mountaineers are set and ready for a successful second season in their new home, the Aquatic Center at Mylan Park. Last season, WVU tallied a pair of program records at the 2021 Big 12 Championship, including the women’s 200 freestyle relay team notching second and PJ Lenz earning the school on platform. In total, the Mountaineers combined to earn 11 medals at the conference meet. The men’s team earned a second-place finish and the women’s squad finished fourth at Big 12’s. West Virginia returns three of those five NCAA Championships qualifiers from a year ago, including a two-time Big 12 individual champion and fifth-year swimmer David Dixon. The fifth-year earned Honorable Mention All-American honors last season, after finishing 12th in the 200 fly. Joining Dixon are divers Owen Johns and PJ Lenz. Behind the momentum from last season, West Virginia is looking ahead to 2021-22.

VETERANS LEADING THE WAY For the fifth consecutive season, the Mountaineers are fortunate to have a double-digit member senior class. A total of 13 senior swimmers and divers (seven men, six women) are prepared to provide team leadership and set the tone both in and out of the pool. Dixon returns to the squad following his fourth consecutive NCAA bid in 2021, alongside fellow qualifier, divers PJ Lenz. Dixon earned Honorable Mention All-American honors and was recognized on the All-Big 12 First Team along with Lenz and Fausto Huerta in 2021, while Nick Cover and Max Gustafson received AllBig 12 Second Team honors. Josh Harlan and Josh Madzy round out the men’s senior class. On the women’s side, divers Camille Burt and Emma Longley return to Morgantown for their final seasons at WVU after successful performances at 2021 NCAA Zones A competition. Lauren Beckish, Abigail Riggs and Megan Zartman complete the women’s senior class. In addition to a well-rounded senior class, WVU is fortunate to have talent in its junior and sophomore classes as well, including sophomores Justin Heimes, William Mullen and Brendan Williams who were all members of the All-Big 12 First Team.

2022 SEASON PREVIEW CAMILLE BURT
Abby Reardon, juniors Paige Dressel and Jacqueline McCutchan leads the pack for the women after collecting All-Big 12 Second Team honors in 2020-21. 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 Seventeen 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.” Hannah Cech joins the swimming team from the University of Arkansas, while Ana Zortea joins the 2021-22 squad from Florida State. Morgan Burton, Miranda Kirtley, Emily Knorr, Sarah Krusinski and Mia Walters complete the freshman class on the women’s side. For the men, Hayden Apel, Riley Brown, Jason Bunn, Glenn Eloriaga, Zhenya Ingram, Reilly Keaney, Conner McBeth, Braden Osborn, Wesley Schauer and Jake Young are set to begin their collegiate careers this season. 2021-22 SCHEDULE In their third season at the Aquatic Center at Mylan Park, the Mountaineers are eyeing a more normal season, compared to the shortened 2021 campaign due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

His open lines of communications have made him a popular role model for WVU student-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 department. In the past year, his success and work ethic has brought national exposure to West Virginia University as Lyons’ presence is wanted on many national and prestigious committees. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he chaired the all-important Football Oversight Committee and played a key role in the sport overcoming, adjusting and managing the difficulties to complete the 2020 season. There’s no doubt that Lyons’ even-keeled demeanor, ability to think outside the box and solve problems played a major role in having a football season in 2020. He is also a member of the NCAA Council and will chair that distinguished committee in 2021-22. Additionally, Lyons served 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.

From training, nutrition, medical upgrades and competitiveness, Lyons has already left many accomplishments and success in his rearview mirror and the coming year will add to that portfolio. He will officially unveil a complete overhaul of football’s Milan Puskar Center and open a new Olympic Sports Performance Center that will benefit hundreds of student-athletes, bringing them together in one beautiful complex. Lyons inherited aging sports venues in 2015 and worked hard to fundraise, plan and implement more than $200 million in long-overdue facility improvements. One of the end results of his efforts will take place in the fall of 2021, when all 18 varsity sports teams will have their own private and dedicated locker rooms for the first time in school history. 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.
