ACADEMIC EXCEllENCE

Exceptional EducationSince its founding, Notre Dame has stressed mixing academics with

faith and has done so while becoming one of the top institutions of higher learning in the nation. Featuring five undergraduate colleges (Arts and Letters, Science, Architecture, Engineering and Business), the First Year of Studies, the Graduate School and the Law School, the University finds itself attracting some of the top students and faculty in the country. Students also participate in cutting edge research and diverse study abroad opportunities, enabling Notre Dame to offer one of the top academic experiences in the world.

First Year of StudiesThe First Year of Studies program provides all first-year students with

the opportunity to gain a wide-ranging liberal arts background before choosing a specific major within Notre Dame’s five undergraduate col-leges. A progressive advising program for all student-athletes enables the University to follow the academic progress of all student-athletes on a regular basis. Key to the program is the fact that it is not run by the athletics department but by the University administration.

Student-Athlete SuccessNotre Dame expects the best out of its student-athletes just as it

does of every other student on campus. Notre Dame has had unprec-edented academic success among its athletes, consistently ranking among the top NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision schools in graduation rates and academic progress. With more Academic All-Americans than any other school since 2000, Irish athletes have shown themselves ca-pable of performing in the classroom while competing on the field at an elite level.

14Programs honored by the NCAA for Academic Progress Rate scores in 2010, more than any other of the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision uni-versities. The APR measures multi-year academic success by team members.

8Irish teams which recorded a perfect score of 1,000 in the NCAA’s 2010 Academic Progress Rate report, more than any other Football Bowl Subdivision institution. Notre Dame also had 13 additional programs with scores of 990 or bet-ter and all 26 varsity teams placed above NCAA standards.

19Programs which achieved a perfect 100 percent graduation rate according to the NCAA’s Gradu-ation Success Rate, second most among Football Bowl Subdivision institutions.

100Federal graduation rate percent achieved by nine Irish teams, according to the latest NCAA figures. Notre Dame had 11 teams ranked first in their respective sport.

.863

Percentage of Irish varsity sports (19 of 22) to achieve a perfect 100 percent graduation rate according to the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate. Notre Dame was one of only 10 institutions with more than half its programs achieving a 100 percent graduation rate and no other school saw more than 80 percent of its programs achieve a perfect score.

1According to 2009 NCAA Graduation Success Rate results, Notre Dame ranked first in the na-tion in graduation rates among all student-athletes (99 percent), male student-athletes (98 percent), female student athletes (100 percent), black student-athletes (97 percent) and football student-athletes (96 percent).

Notre Dame has incorporated Erika Whitman, a full-time sports dieti-cian, as a part of its Strength and Conditioning staff. Whitman continu-ally provides accurate and up-to-date nutrition education to student-athletes and coaches. Including nutrition as an integral component of all training programs enables Irish athletes to achieve optimal health and maximize performance.

14Total sports medicine staff members. Head ath-letic trainer Jim Russ leads three associate train-ers, eight assistant trainers and two physical therapists.

8,500Square feet of cutting-edge sports medicine technology, including two 3,500-gallon therapy pools, a full x-ray unit and an MRI machine.

1Notre Dame is one of only 17 Football Bowl Sub-division schools to employ a full-time sports di-etician in its athletics department.

Sports Nutrition

While no athlete plans on an injury, Notre Dame is prepared with one of the top sports medicine teams in the country to help keep its athletes fit and ready to compete. With training facilities in the Joyce Center, Notre Dame Stadium and the Guglielmino Athletics Complex, the training staff is always there to care for athletes. With approximate-ly 225 years combined experience on the full-time staff, Notre Dame also boasts a partnership with the renowned South Bend Orthopae-dics to provide first-class care.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

Strength and ConditioningThe task of keeping athletes in top physical condition is up to the

strength & conditioning staff. The strength and conditioning staff knows the demands of competing on an elite level and is committed to ensuring Irish athletes are always in the best possible condition. From weight lifting to wind sprints and from warming up to cooling down, the strength and conditioning staff has every aspect covered.

When Father Edward F. Sorin started his school in the northern In-diana wilderness, he had only $300, three log buildings badly in need of repair and a far-sighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to meet the growing educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of building a great university, and in 1842, he founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac.

Over the years, the University of Notre Dame du Lac would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame has also been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of syn-thetic rubber. The University also has stressed residential life, with four of five students living on campus. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Father Sorin.

1842The University of Notre Dame was founded by Rev. Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C., as an independent, national Catholic university adjacent to South Bend, Ind., on St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s Lakes.

11,731 Total enrollment at the University of Notre Dame, with 8,363 undergraduate students.

Jack SwarbrickDirector of Athletics

John B. “Jack” Swarbrick Jr., a University of Notre Dame graduate who rose to national prominence as a lawyer, consultant and executive in the collegiate and Olympic sports industries, is in his third year in 2010-11 as director of athletics at his alma mater.

Among Swarbrick’s athletics initiatives are meeting the performance needs of Notre Dame student-athletes through establishment of a new sports performance division, reaching out to more former Irish student-athletes via the Notre Dame Monogram Club and other programs, utilizing emerging digital technologies to deliver better information on and access to Notre Dame athletic programs via expanded production and distribution of programming, and restructuring Notre Dame’s approach to sport administration through assignment of a unique administrator to each of the 26 Irish sports.

The past two years combined in Notre Dame athletics have featured 68 All-Americans, 14 Academic All-America selections and four NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship winners; record involvement in community service hours by Irish student-athletes; NCAA runner-up team finishes in 2010 men’s lacrosse,

2009 fencing and 2008 women’s soccer; NCAA semifinal appearances in 2009 and 2010 women’s tennis and 2009 women’s soccer, plus a 2010 third-place fencing finish; the hiring of new Irish head football coach Brian Kelly to start the 2010 season; the decision to build a new, freestanding ice hockey arena, scheduled to open for the 2011-12 season, plus the 2009-10 dedications of new facilities for soccer and lacrosse – as well as opening of the new Purcell Pavilion within the south dome of the Joyce Center, and 15 BIG EAST Conference titles along with four other league crowns in hockey, men’s lacrosse and fencing.

Notre Dame ranked number one in the country (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) in the two most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) surveys -- in 2009 with a 99 (including a 97 score in football that also ranked number one).

Born in Yonkers, N.Y., and raised in Yonkers and Bloomington, Ind., Swarbrick is a 1976 magna cum laude graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in economics. Upon graduating from Stanford University Law School in 1980, he returned to Indiana to accept a position as an associate in the Indianapolis law firm Baker & Daniels. He made partner in 1987 and spent 28 years overall with the firm.

As a member of the Indiana Sports Corporation, including the chairmanship from 1992 to 2001, Swarbrick led most of the city’s successful proposals to a wide array of athletics organizations – from the National Football League to the United States Olympic Committee to the Big Ten Conference. His leadership efforts resulted in the city earning the right to play host to the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium; becoming the home of the National Collegiate Athletic Association national headquarters in 1999; hosting the 1987 Pan American Games, 1991 World Gymnastics Championships, NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Fours and other college championship

competitions and an array of national and world championships in Olympic sports.

Swarbrick’s practice at Baker & Daniels focused on the representation of owners of sports teams and organizations that sanction or conduct athletic competitions. He served as general counsel for numerous national governing bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics and USRowing, and as a consultant to the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.

In his work as an advisor to the NCAA, Swarbrick coordinated the men’s College

Basketball Partnership, an NCAA-led group that addresses the opportunities and challenges in the sport, and developed the business plan for the new NBA/NCAA youth basketball enterprise, iHoops. In 2000 Swarbrick received one of the NCAA’s highest honors, The Flying Wedge Award, for his work in establishing Indianapolis as the new home of the NCAA. In 2001 the State of Indiana presented him with the Sagamore of the Wabash Award.

Born March 19, 1954, Swarbrick was named Notre Dame’s 12th athletics director on July 16, 2008. He

and his wife, Kimberly, are the parents of four children: Kate, a 2010 graduate of St. Louis University; Connor, a senior at Wake Forest University; Cal, a freshman at TCU; and Christopher, a high school senior.

In the midst of a master plan that will touch nearly every varsity team, Notre Dame has shown its commitment to providing athletes with the best possible facilities to help them compete on a national level. From new facilities to the extensive renovation of existing ones, Notre Dame is committed to giving Irish athletes every edge imagin-able. The plan will result in a drastically altered footprint on the south-east corner of campus, creating an athletics quad that will give every Irish athlete a place they will be proud to call home.

Three facilities opened during the 2009-10 school year: Alumni Stadium (home to men’s and women’s soccer), Purcell Pa-vilion (renovation and expansion of men’s and women’s basketball arena) and Arlotta Family Stadium (home of men’s and women’s lacrosse).

26.3Million dollars spent on Purcell Pavilion for addi-tions and renovations to the Joyce Center Arena. Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center features a three-story addition with club seating, a hos-pitality area, additional area for restrooms and concessions, as well as new space for the Varsity Shop and the Notre Dame ticket office.

3Facilities which are still on the master plan to cre-ate a comprehensive athletic quad. The hockey program, the tennis squads and the rowing team all will receive new facilities in the near future.

Season Preview

After falling short of a third straight BIG EAST Conference title in 2010, Notre Dame seeks to

top the podium once again in 2011 while also advancing to the NCAA Championships.

In a sport where the difference between winning and losing comes down not just to minutes, but fractions of seconds,

paying extreme attention to details and remaining focused from day one is much more than essential. With over 30 years of experience under his belt, Notre Dame head coach Tim Welsh understands that for his team to win a fifth BIG EAST Conference title in February, the cylinders must begin turning long before.

“From the minute our student-athletes step foot on campus in August, we want them to be in great shape after a summer of training,” Welsh said. “Then the real work begins. This team is in a position to challenge for another BIG EAST title, and our ambition is to be faster than ever.”

Welsh, who is entering his 26th season at Notre Dame, and his coaching staff not only seek to replace a departed senior class which accounted for 13 individual and relay titles over the last four seasons, but to nurture and develop a roster littered with the potential to advance to the NCAA Championships. The Irish have registered 13 consecutive top-four finishes in the BIG EAST Championships since joining the league in 1995-96, with two crowns in the last three seasons.

“I’ve been here for 26 seasons, but it feels like I just got here,” Welsh said. “The Notre Dame swimmers and divers, like the student body at this University, are the best part of the job. What they bring to the team in terms of energy and athleticism is fantastic. That’s where the magic in this program lies. They’re joyful and exuberant and bring a sense of camaraderie and freshness to the sport that we love to see. We stress the sense of being a family here at Notre Dame – once you become a part of Notre Dame swimming and diving, you’re part of it for life.”

Behind the leadership of two-time team captain Michael Sullivan, nine additional seniors will be counted on to steer the ship throughout the season. This year’s senior class has earned a pair of BIG EAST (2008, 2009) titles with one runner up (2010), and knows what it takes to bring home another piece of hardware.

The dynamic Sullivan posted three season-best times at the 2010 league meet, while stopping the clock at 3:51.67 in the 400 IM for third place, 1:46.80 in the 200 back for sixth place and 4:27.91 in the 500 free for ninth. His efforts were mirrored by classmate Steven Brus, who began last year’s BIG EAST Championships with a gold medal as he was a member of the victorious 800 free relay, which

recorded an NCAA B-cut of 6:28.48 and then recorded two additional NCAA B-cuts (200 and 500 free) at the meet.

This year’s senior class also features divers Wes Villaflor and Nathan Geary, who finished first and second, respectively, in the 1- and 3-meter diving events at the 2010 league meet. Villaflor was named the BIG EAST’s Most Outstanding Male Diver. Along with two-time all-BIG EAST diver Eric Lex, this could be one of Notre Dame’s deepest classes off the board in recent memory.

Coming off an injury last season, P.J. Koppel finished 2010 with a number of career bests at the BIG EAST meet. He will be a strong force for the Irish in the breast and individual medley events, as will Joseph Raycroft. Raycroft also had a career meet at the BIG EAST Championships in the breast and IM events, and was a member of the 400 medley relay team that reset the school record. Christopher Wills looks to continue his progressive improvement in the fly, back and individual medley events.

Senior freestylers Thomas Van Volkenburg and Joshua Nosal – who was part of three NCAA B-cut

performances in 2009-10 – will also be expected once again to step up during the dual meet and championship portions of the schedule.

Additional Irish record holders in junior Petar Petrovic, who set the 100 back record with a performance of 48.64 at the BIG EAST meet, and sophomore Bill Bass, who smashed the 200 IM record with a time of 1:46.44, are both back for 2010-11. Petrovic was also part of two record-setting relays (200 and 400 medley), while Bass was also a part of the 200 medley relay quartet. Bass, who amassed 15 top-three finishes on the regular season, is poised for another tremendous season after one more year of training to his name.

Junior Ryan Belecanech is another third-year all-BIG EAST distance freestyler while juniors B.J. Roth Conor and Evans will also add cushion the freestyle corps. Junior Colin Francesco, like Wills, is slated to compete in a number of events (individual medley, fly and back) while classmate Brian Maloy will narrow his focus on the breast events. Kevin Rahill will add depth in the freestyle and backstroke events, as will Marshall Sherman and Jonathan Whitcomb.

An extremely strong sophomore class returns in its entirety, and looks to follow Bass’ record-breaking first-year campaign. Jordan Berry advanced to the finals of the 200 individual medley at the league meet in 2010, and Tylor Gauger swam an array of events for the Irish during his first season. Christopher Johnson is coming off the ninth-fastest 100 breast (55.63) performance in Irish history at last year’s league meet, and hopes to parlay his experience in the record-breaking 200 medley relay squad into even more accolades. Supporting the cause in the freestyle and butterfly events is John McGinley, who helped clock an NCAA B-cut time in the 400 free relay last year, and the dynamic Wesley Mullins. Kevin Overholt, Stefan Prendergast and Mason Weber also peaked at their first BIG EAST showdown.

A highly-touted five-person freshman class makes it debut in 2010-11, which includes Louisiana Swimmer of the Year Colin Babcock. Babcock will be flanked by Joshua Choi (breast, individual medley), Frank Dyer (free), Bertie Nel (free) and Patrick Sullivan (back, individual medley).

The Irish commence the season with the annual Dennis Stark Relays (Oct. 8) at the Rolfs Aquatic Center. Stark, who retired in 1985, is one of two head coaches – along with Welsh – to lead the Irish in 53 seasons as a varsity sport.

“This is a wonderful tribute to Dennis,” Welsh said. “And for the team, it’s a great way to get started. Relays are always fun for everyone involved. We’re trying to gauge where we are and what we have to build on after that point.”

Notre Dame welcomes BIG EAST Conference rival Pittsburgh (Oct. 22) before the two-meet homestand comes to an end as the Irish hit the road the following day with a tri-meet against Oakland and Michigan, which will mark the first head-to-head contest with Michigan in program history.

“Oakland always swim very well against us, especially in its own pool,” Welsh said. “And Michigan has a strong program, and we want to be able to swim side-by-side with them.”

Notre Dame then travels to West Lafayette, Ind., for a contest with intrastate rival Purdue (Nov. 6) before welcoming Utah to the Rolfs Aquatic Center on Nov. 12.

The Irish wrap up the fall segment of the schedule with a trip to the Iowa Invitational (Dec. 3-5).

After a winter training trip in Puerto Rico, Notre Dame opens the second half of the schedule with visits to Northwestern (Jan. 12), Cleveland State (Jan. 14) and Michigan State (Jan. 21) before returning home to host the Shamrock Invitational (Jan. 28-29). Ball State comes to town on Feb. 5.

The 2011 BIG EAST Diving Championships will take place Feb. 11-13 in Louisville, Ky., with the swimming events following Feb. 16-20.

The three-day NCAA Zone Diving Championships (March 11-13) will be held on the Ohio State campus at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion. The 2011 NCAA Championships will take place in Minneapolis, Minn., from March. 24-26.

Coaching Staff

Head coach Tim Welsh has led the Irish program since 1985 while guiding

his team to 10 league titles over that span.

Already one of the most respected coaches in the nation, Tim Welsh has taken the Notre Dame men’s swim-ming and diving program to unprecedented levels and has it on the verge of becoming a national force. Under his guidance, the Fighting Irish captured the program’s first BIG EAST title in 2005 and repeated the feat in 2006, 2008 and 2009. Notre Dame has sent competitors to the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in three of the past six seasons with diver Michael Bulfin earning the program’s first All-America honor in 2008.

Welsh is not unaccustomed to success, as student-ath-letes and teams under his care have exceeded expecta-tions and broken barriers throughout his 33-year career as a head coach.

Welsh’s squads have experienced great team success over the years. In 1978 and 1979, he helped Johns Hopkins to back-to-back Division III national championships, while being named National Coach of the Year on the latter occa-sion. In all, Welsh has coached 28 teams that have claimed conference championships and 20 that have won nine or more dual meets in a season.

Since arriving at Notre Dame in 1985, Welsh has seen his teams post a 299-166 (.643) dual-meet record, while win-ning 20 league titles (Midwestern Collegiate - 15, BIG EAST - 4, North Star - 1) and taking second place on six occasions (MCC - 2, BIG EAST - 4). His student-athletes also have been accomplished, earning 14 invitations to the NCAA Championships, gaining All-America honors on four occa-sions and winning 23 BIG EAST events.

With a victory over St. Bonaventure on Jan. 29, 2005, Welsh surpassed Dennis Stark’s mark of 167 career dual-meet victories at Notre Dame. Stark, the only other head coach in Fighting Irish swimming and diving history, was at the helm of the program from 1958 until Welsh took over in 1985.

The most apparent reality of the Welsh era at Notre Dame is the almost every-day occurrence that breaking University records has become. In his tenure, Welsh has

Welsh By the NumBers

seen his student-athletes break the Notre Dame record in every event -- on both the men’s and women’s sides -- on multiple occasions. In all, more than 200 University records have been set under Welsh’s tutelage, with the bar continu-ing to be raised each season. The Irish established 12 marks during the 2004-05 and 2008-09 seasons alone and seven more in 2005-06, adding eight more in 2007-08. In the lists of the top 10 performers in each swimming event in Notre Dame men’s history, no names remain from the pre-Welsh era.

The Irish swimming and diving program entered a new era under Welsh, as well. In his first 17 years at Notre Dame, the men’s swimming and diving team had little access to scholarship aide. The Notre Dame Athletic Department decided in December 2002 to fully fund all of its varsity sports, giving the Irish a tool with which to compete with the best schools in the nation. Working with a fully funded program, Welsh has welcomed some of the program’s top freshman classes in recent years. CollegeSwimming.com tabbed the incoming class for the 2009-10 season the nation’s 14th best.

Notre Dame has finished in the top four at the BIG EAST Championships for 13 consecutive seasons, including three runner-up results (1999, 2000, 2004, 2007 and 2010). The Fighting Irish finally broke through and captured the program’s first BIG EAST title in 2005 by defeating Pittsburgh, the eight-time defending conference cham-pion, by 275 points. Increased expectations were placed on the Irish in 2005-06 and the squad delivered with another BIG EAST title in dominating fashion, also accomplishing the feat in 2007-08 and 2008-09.

Rewriting of the record books has been a common theme for Notre Dame under Welsh, and the Irish have combined to reset 14 records over the past two seasons.

After falling 4.5 points short of the BIG EAST title in 2006-07, Welsh revved up the engines and guided the Irish to championship runs in 2007-08 and 2008-09. One of the greatest races in Notre Dame history capped off the 2009 league meet behind the efforts of that season’s 400 free relay quartet: Danny Lutkus, Joshua Nosal, John Lytle and Andrew Hoffman. A seven-second underdog to the Louisville relay team heading into the final race of the meet, the foursome pulled off the upset in dramatic fash-ion to secure the program’s second consecutive league title. Twelve school records fell during that 2009 event.

Coming off a BIG EAST title in 2005, a lot of expectations were placed upon the 2005-06 team and they delivered with a second straight league championship. The Fighting Irish claimed three event titles at the conference meet and produced 13 all-BIG EAST performers en route to the 224.5-point victory over Pittsburgh and the rest of the 11-team field. A total of seven school records were set during the season. Bulfin became just the third student-athlete in program history to qualify for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships and the second in as many seasons, following swimmer Tim Kegelman, who did so in 2005. Bulfin returned to the NCAAs in 2008 and scored Notre Dame’s first points ever at the national meet.

In the fall of 2004, Notre Dame appeared in the CSCAA dual meet rankings for the first time ever as the Irish

debuted at No. 21. In 2005-06, the Irish climbed to No. 18 in the rank-ings, which was a program-best mark until the 2007-08 squad earned a No. 17 ranking.

The 2004-05 season also wit-nessed Notre Dame’s first NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships participant in the Welsh era, and just the second in the history of the program. Kegelman swam in the 100 fly, 200 fly and the 200 IM at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in Minneapolis, Minn. The sophomore was also one of six Notre Dame swimmers to take home BIG EAST titles in 2004-05. For his team’s accomplishments, Welsh was named the BIG EAST Coach of the Year for the third time in six years.

A key factor behind the success of the Fighting Irish program during the 2004-05 season was senior Frank Krakowski. He left Notre Dame hold-ing five University records, along with being a six-time all-BIG EAST performer. Krakowski was also tabbed as a CSCAA All-Academic swimmer.

The 2003-04 campaign provided a glimpse of the bright future of Notre Dame men’s swimming and diving. The Irish faced their toughest schedule in school history and responded by setting eight school records. Notre Dame posted 584 points at the BIG EAST Championship to finish as conference runner-up. Among the highlights of that meet was the first-ever Irish 1-2 finish in the meet, as Jamie Lutkus and David Moisan topped the field in the 400 individual medley.

Notre Dame also posted runner-up finishes in the 1999 and 2000 BIG EAST Championships. The Irish delivered a school-record time in 1999 to win the final event of the meet, the 400 free relay, to edge Syracuse by one point for second place. Welsh was named the BIG EAST Coach of the Year, capping a season in which the Irish broke 16 of 19 University records.

Notre Dame reset eight varsity records in 1999-2000 in finishing second in the BIG EAST Championships once again.

Other highlights of Welsh’s tenure as men’s coach at Notre Dame are 10 seasons with 10 or more dual-meet victories, including a 12-1 mark in 1989-90, the best record in school history. The Irish also were 11-1 in 1997-98 and set the school record for wins in a season in both 1987-88 and 1990-91 with identical 13-3 marks.

Prior to joining the BIG EAST in 1995-96, Welsh’s Irish won six Midwestern Collegiate Conference championships in seven years (1986-92) and took six consecutive titles in the National Catholic Invitational (1989-94).

The Irish women's coach from 1985-86 through 1994-95, Welsh's teams won MCC titles every year the Irish were in the conference, from 1987-95. His teams also claimed the Eastern Intercollegiate championship twice. The first title came in 1990 and the second in 1995, when the last women's pro-gram Welsh coached finished with the best record in school history, 14-1. During his 10 years at the helm of the women's program, Welsh sent 11 swimmers to the NCAA champion-ships, including three-time All-American Tanya Williams. In that span, every Irish women’s University record was broken.

Prior to coming to Notre Dame in 1985, Welsh spent eight years as the head men’s and women’s coach at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Md. The New York native led the men’s squad to a mark of 65-36, including two NCAA Division III national championships and eight Middle Atlantic Conference titles. The women’s team also was successful under Welsh, earning a Middle Atlantic Conference championship while achieving six seasons at .500 or better.

Welsh graduated magna cum laude from Providence College in 1966. He went on to earn his master’s degree at the University of Virginia in 1967. Welsh became the men’s assistant coach at Syracuse in 1974 after leaving Winthrop College (S.C.), where he had taught English. During his four years at Syracuse, Welsh continued to teach English and designed and ran the training pro-gram before joining the Hopkins swimming pro-gram.

Welsh was awarded the Richard E. Steadman Award by the College Swim Coaches Association in 1993. The award, given annually to a swimming or diving coach in the high school, club or university ranks who, in the opinion of the International Swimming Hall of Fame, Inc., and the College Swim Coaches Association, has done the most to spread joy and happiness in swimming.

Welsh continued a career of world travel, as he took his team to Ireland during the winter of the 2004-05 season. Previously, he traveled to Bogota, Colombia, in the spring of 1985 as a clinician and instructor for Sports America Program of the U.S. State Department and took his Irish squad to Portugal in the summer of 1991. Welsh and the 1996-97 Irish ventured to Brazil over Christmas break for a nationally-televised meet featuring international Olympic swimmers. In 2008 and 2009, the Irish trekked to Puerto Rico for the pro-gram’s annual winter training session.

Welsh’s student-athletes have been traditionally strong in the classroom, as well as in the Rolfs Aquatic Center. Perennially on Collegiate Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) All-Academic list (which ranks teams according to grade-point average), the Irish claimed the top spot in the 1999 season and have been in the top 10 eight times since 1990. The program was honored in 2009 with the BIG EAST Team Excellence Award, which recog-nizes the highest collective grade-point averages in each conference sport. That year’s team finished with a 3.272 grade index.

In his 26th season as head coach at Notre Dame, Welsh ranks behind only track and field’s Joe Piane (36 seasons) as the longest-serving program leader at the University. He also was awarded an honorary monogram from Notre Dame’s National Monogram Club and has seen six of his swimmers garner the Byron V. Kanaley Award, the most prestigious honor an Irish student-athlete can achieve.

In 2002, Welsh was featured in the ASCA newsletter in appreciation for his dedication as a member of the ASCA’s Board of Directors (this was the Bob Ousley Award for Service to ASCA, and was presented at the ASCA world Clinic in 2002). One of Welsh’s key developments is the ASCA Fellows Program – which is designed to profession-ally and thoroughly prepare the next generation of coach-ing leaders. In fact, Welsh was named president of the ASCA in September 2009 and continues to serve in that position.

Welsh received the CSCAA’s Distinguished Service Award for his 35 years of service in college coaching and was deemed the organization’s Division I men’s representa-tive on its Board of Directors in 2009.

Swimming World Magazine highlighted Welsh along with school record-holder MacKenzie LeBlanc in a fall 2008 issue. The pair shared training tips and personal experi-ences in one of the sport's most recognized publications.

A published writer and master motivator, Welsh and his wife, Jacqueline (who works on campus as a curator of education in the Snite Museum of Art), are the parents of two sons. Tim, a 2002 Notre Dame graduate, participated in the University’s Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) pro-gram before enrolling in an English Ph.D. program at the University of Washington. John is a 2005 Notre Dame graduate.

Caiming Xie

Diving Coach

16th season

Beijing Institute of Physical Education '85

Diving Coach

In more than 30 years as a diving coach, Caiming Xie has helped his protégés win BIG EAST titles, All-America honors and gold medals. A proven winner, Caiming’s experience and influence truly touch all corners of the globe.

He is entering his 16th season as head men’s and women’s diving coach at Notre Dame in 2010-11.

During his tenure at Notre Dame he has coached two All-Americans on the women's side, as well as the top two men's divers in school history including 2008 All-American Michael Bulfin.

Caiming’s most recent piece of hardware was earned in 2010 when he was named BIG EAST Diving Coach of the Year for the seventh time. The award came on the heels of Wes Villaflor making a clean sweep of the 1- and 3-meter titles at the league meet. Villaflor was named the championship's Most Outstanding Diver.

Caiming was named the BIG EAST Men’s Diving Coach of the year for the third-straight season in 2007 after helping Bulfin capture two all-BIG EAST honors at the meet, while Sam Stoner earned one all-conference accolade. One season later, Bulfin would earn his second trip to the NCAAs, scoring Notre Dame’s first-ever points at the meet while earning the program’s first All-American accolade.

The Irish filled the podium at the 2009 BIG EAST Championships by claiming stake in four of the top six positions in both the 1- and 3-meter events.

The 2005-06 season was one of the finest for men's diving at Notre Dame. Bulfin became just the second diver in program history to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Bulfin also earned all-BIG EAST honors off the 1-meter board, while his teammate Stoner garnered all-conference honors in the 3-meter competition. Both Bulfin and Stoner competed at the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships. Bulfin qualified for the NCAAs with his fourth-place

showing off the 3-meter board at the Zone competition. He would also finish ninth off the 1-meter board, while Stoner was 10th, after registering a 17th-place showing in the 3-meter. The success of his diver's helped Caiming garner the BIG EAST Conference Men's Diving Coach of the Year Award for the fourth time. He also collected the honor in 1999, 2004 and 2005.

In 2005, Stoner placed fifth at the BIG EAST Championships off both boards and would go on to finish 17th out of the 32-diver field at the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships. That marked the top finish for an Irish rookie in 1-meter action in the meet since Andy Maggio was 14th in 2000.

Caiming, the first full-time diving coach in Notre Dame history, recruited and developed three divers in the class of 2003. The group, which went undefeated in 2001-02, was a key to Notre Dame’s dual-meet fortunes over a four-year span, and all three left among the best eight divers in school history on the 1-meter board.

Maggio was the most dominant Irish men’s diver ever, holding three of the five University diving records. In 2002, he finished fourth at the NCAA Zone Diving Meet, missing by just six points Notre Dame’s first berth to the NCAA Men’s Championships in 27 years.

Joe Miller and Tong Xie, Caiming’s son, each delivered career-best performances in their final seasons, a sign of Caiming’s ability to help divers improve dramatically during their time with him.

Caiming also tutored 2001 graduate Herb Huesman throughout his career, which ended with him as the holder of three varsity records.

On the women's side, Caiming was responsible for the development of Heather Mattingly and Meghan Perry-Eaton, the first two diving All-Americans in Notre Dame history.

The last several seasons have been the most successful in Irish women’s diving history, featuring seven BIG EAST titles, four All-America honors and four BIG EAST Championships Most Outstanding Diver awards.

Most recently, Natalie Stitt swept the 1- and 3-meter events at the 2009 BIG EAST Championships while earning the nod at the league’s top diver. Caiming, who was the league’s diving coach of the year in 2009, led Stitt to her first NCAA Championships appearance later that season.

In 2003-04, Perry-Eaton turned in the most impressive campaign ever by an Irish diver, as she was beaten just one time during the regular season before sweeping the springboard events at the BIG EAST Championships by more than 40 points each en route to being tabbed the meet’s top diver. Perry-Eaton then became the first Notre Dame diver ever to win a title at the NCAA Zone C Championships, taking first off the 1-meter board. At the NCAA Championships, she delivered the highest-ever finish for a Notre Dame swimmer or diver, taking third in that event, ending up just 3.30 points behind the national champion and securing All-America honors. She followed that up with two more conference titles (for a BIG EAST record five in her career), her third conference diver-of-the-year award, and two more All-American honors.

In 2002-03, Perry-Eaton became the first Notre Dame diver -- and first non-University of Miami diver since 1996 -- to win a conference championship, placing first in the 1-meter competition. She also was second on the 3-meter board and was named the BIG EAST’s top diver. Perry-Eaton then qualified for the NCAA Championships, where she placed ninth in the 1-meter event and 20th on the 3-meter board to earn honorable mention All-America honors.

In 2001-02, Heather Mattingly became the first Irish diver to earn All-America honors, finishing eighth in the 3-meter competition at the NCAA Championships. Mattingly also earned honorable mention All-America honors on the 1-meter board, taking 12th. She was the first Notre Dame diver to qualify for the NCAAs in four consecutive years -- also earning honorable mention All-America in 2001 (13th in 3-meter) and 2000 (12th in 1-meter, 12th in 3-meter).

Before coming to Notre Dame, Caiming was the head diving coach for three years at the University of Toledo, earning Mid-American Conference diving coach-of-the-year laurels in each of his last two seasons. Prior to his stint with the Rockets, Caiming served as an assistant coach for the 1991-92 season at Pittsburgh.

Boasting a wealth of international experience on his resume, Caiming served as the 1980 Chinese Olympic diving coach. He also has served as a technical consultant for United States Diving since 1994 and has held clinics and presentations for the United States Diving national team.

The Chinese national team coach from 1977-90, Caiming coached Sun Shu-Wei, a gold medalist in the men's platform competition at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, and Zhu Jin-Hong, who finished fourth in the women's platform in Barcelona.

Caiming's divers also have earned medals at the Asian Games, World Cup, World University Games and World Championships.

In 2009, he was an assistant coach for the United States at the World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia. The United States earned six medals at the event.

A competitive diver in his own right, Caiming won the springboard competition at the Asian Games in 1974 and earned first place in the platform and second in the springboard competition at the National Games of China in 1975.

Caiming is a 1985 graduate of the Beijing Institute of Physical Education and has won numerous national Chinese diving championships.

Caiming and his wife, Ping Tong, have one son, Tong, who graduated from Notre Dame in 2003 after a successful career as an Irish diver.

Matt Tallman

Associate Head Coach

10th season

Catholic '97

Associate Head Coach

Matt Tallman is entering his 10th season at Notre Dame and his fifth as associate head coach. Tallman spent his first five campaigns serving as assistant coach for the Fighting Irish before assuming his associate position in July 2006. His recruiting efforts have produced some of the top classes in the history of the program – including the 14th-best incoming class in 2009-10 – which in turn has made Notre Dame a factor on the national scene.

Tallman joined the Irish staff in 2001, shortly after the Notre Dame Athletic Department announced that each of the University’s 26 varsity sports would receive full funding. With increased scholarship aide, he has made the Irish competitive with the top programs in the nation on the recruiting front by attracting some of the country’s top prep prospects.

The efforts of Tallman have paid dividends in the pool, as the Irish have broken over 40 University records over the last seven years.

Tallman helped guide the Irish to their first BIG EAST championship in 2005 and the Irish repeated as champions in 2006, 2008 and 2009. Those campaigns were the most successful in the history of Notre Dame swimming and diving, as the 2008 edition of the Irish program set eight school records and peaked at No. 17 in the Collegiate Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) rankings.

In the fall of 2004, Notre Dame appeared in the CSCAA dual meet rankings for the first time ever by debuting at No. 21. In 2005-06, the Irish climbed to No. 18 in the rankings, which was then a program-best mark.

Tallman has been a key in the growth of the Irish program, and his first nine seasons have seen a number of superlatives. In his inaugural campaign,

Notre Dame matched the third-highest win total in the history of the program, ending up 11-3 in dual meets. After failing to win their own Notre Dame Invitational for the first time in four years the season prior to Tallman’s arrival, that meet has seen five Irish victories, including an impressive 2003 performance that featured Notre Dame setting a (then) meet record for points scored and claiming a 710-point triumph over a talented second-place Harvard team. The Irish have similarly been dominant in the Dennis Stark Relays, once holding all 11 meet records since Tallman’s arrival.

The 2003-04 campaign also featured the Irish posting their highest-ever point total in the BIG EAST Championships to that point, en route to their first runner-up result in four years. Among the high points of that meet was Notre Dame’s first-ever 1-2 finish in the meet, which took place in the 400 IM.

Tallman has had a hand in mentoring 22 BIG EAST champions and 14 individual Irish record holders, including 2005 NCAA Championships participant Tim Kegelman. In fact, Kegelman was the first Notre Dame swimmer ever to make an appearance at the national meet, swimming the 100 fly, 200 fly and 200 IM. He was also a part of the 2004-05 team that eclipsed 12 school records, claimed four individual BIG EAST titles and entered the national rankings for the first time.

In addition to recruiting, Tallman assists head coach Tim Welsh in all facets of the Irish swimming and diving program, including on-deck coaching and teaching, training, supervising dryland workouts, and day-to-day operations.

Prior to his stint at Notre Dame, Tallman served as an assistant at the University of Maryland in 2000-01. He helped the Terrapins send a school-record number of women’s qualifiers to the NCAA Championships as Maryland peaked at 16th in the national rankings that season, its highest listing in school history.

Prior to his stop at Maryland, Tallman spent two years as the head swimming coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. While at IUP, he was selected as the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 1999 after helping the women’s team to the PSAC title, ending Clarion University’s 23-year stranglehold on the championship. He also helped the IUP women’s team to sixth- and seventh-place finishes at the NCAA Division II championships. In his two seasons at IUP, the women’s squad was 18-0 in dual meets.

Fifteen IUP swimmers achieved All-America honors under Tallman’s tutelage while 18 swimmers earned all-PSAC accolades and five student-athletes were named Academic All-Americans.

A 1997 graduate of The Catholic University of America, Tallman swam for four seasons and captured 11 titles at the Capital Athletic Conference Championships. He set school and conference records in the 100 and 200 breast, along with the 200 and 400 medley relays.

Born Sept. 24, 1973, in Camden, N.J., Tallman, who is also an accomplished cyclist, has a number of Notre Dame connections. His father Dennis is a ’73 graduate and his grandfather, Edgar F. Bailey, played football for the Irish in the 1940s.

Tallman married the former Heather Grzeskowiak in the summer of 2006. The couple, along with her daughter Hannah, and their son, Martin, resides in Mishawaka, Ind.

NCAA ChampionshipsMarch 25 – 27 · Thursday – Saturday · All dayColumbus, Ohio · McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion

Notes: Diver Michael Bulfin made history by becoming the first member of the men’s swimming and diving team to earn points at the NCAA Championships in 2008 … he notched a pair of points in the final round of the 3-meter competition to secure a top-20 finish … the performance earned the junior the program’s first individual All-American honor … Bulfin finished 28th in the 1-meter with a count of 264.25 during the preliminary rounds … he followed that with a stellar 319.55 and a 16th-place finish in the 3-meter event during the prelims to move into the final heat … it was there that he moved up one spot to 15th with a score of 332.40 in the final round of the 3-meter to earn the first points for Notre Dame at the NCAAs in program history … Bulfin is the first member of the Irish program to earn multiple trips to the NCAA Championships after previously competing at the national meet in 2006 … diver Bob Ebel along with swimmer Tim Kelgelman are the only other two Notre Dame student-athletes to take part in the NCAAs … Ebel, a native of St. Louis, Mo., did so in 3-meter diving event as a sophomore in 1975 … he qualified with a record-breaking performance in a dual meet against Illinois State on Feb. 22 in the Rockne Memorial Pool … Ebel's score of 302.65 stood as the school record for nearly 15 years … Kegelman competed at the 2005 NCAA Championships after earning his berth with a season-best time of 47.66 in the 100 fly … he also swam in the 200 individual medley and the 100 fly at the national meet.

Since 1958-59, the Notre Dame men’s swimming and diving team has traveled to 28 states, the District of Columbia, Ontario, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Ireland. Notre Dame’s widespread travel is befitting of a student body and swimming and diving roster that draw from all corners of the United States, as the program has included student-athletes from 34 states.

History

The 400 free relay quartet of Danny Lutkus, Joshua Nosal, John Lytle and Andrew Hoffman teamed

to achieve one of the greatest swims in Notre Dame history. A seven-second underdog to the

Louisville relay team heading into the final race of the 2009 BIG EAST Championships, the foursome

pulled off the upset in dramatic fashion to secure the program’s second consecutive league title.

Notre Dame in the BIG EAST ChampionshipsAfter competing for 25 years as an independent, Notre Dame joined the Midwestern

Collegiate Conference in 1983-84, beginning a 12-year membership in which the Irish would win six league championships (1986 and 1988-92) and finish as the MCC runner-up four times (1984-85 and 1993-94). Notre Dame joined the BIG EAST Conference prior to the 1995-96 season and has been a member since then.

The Irish have registered 13 consecutive top-four finishes in the BIG EAST Championships, including five runner-up results (1999-2000, 2004, 2007, 2010).

In 2005, Notre Dame registered a meet-record 902.5 points to capture the program’s first-ever BIG EAST title. The Fighting Irish defeated Pittsburgh, the eight-time defending conference champions, by 275 points. Notre Dame defended its title in 2006 by registering 809 points to top runner-up Pittsburgh and the rest of the field. The Irish were edged out by West Virginia (765.5-761) in their bid for a third consecutive title in 2007 but bounced back with the crown in 2008 and 2009.

Notre Dame has won 31 event titles at the BIG EAST meet, with five of those occurring at the 2005 championships and four more in 2006. Tim Kegelman became the first Irish swimmer to win three BIG EAST titles. Kegelman collected all three titles at the 2005 meet by winning the 100 Fly, 200 IM was part of the champion 400 Medley Relay. Ray Fitzpatrick (who was first in the 200 Free in 2000 after anchoring the champion 400 Free Relay in 1999) was the first Irish student-athlete to win multiple BIG EAST championships. In 2006, Jay Vanden Berg became the second competitor in program history to capture multiple titles in the same meet as he won both the 500 and 1,650 Free events. Vanden Berg also won the 1,650 Free in 2005 and is tied with Kegelman for the program record of three event titles. John Lytle joined the elite company by earning three first-place finishes at the 2009 meet (800 Free Relay, 400 Free Relay, 200 Free).

The top three finishers in every event gain all-BIG EAST honors, and over 45 Notre Dame competitors have achieved that status. Lytle leads the Irish with 16 all-conference honors.

The BIG EAST ConferenceWith 30 years under its belt, The BIG EAST Conference

continues on a path of success in and out of the athletic arena. The goals have always been the same. The league wants and expects to compete at the highest level and does so with integrity and sportsmanship. The commend-able performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are the indicators of the league’s proud tradition of success.

The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2009-10 academic year will mark the conference’s fifth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference.

In 2008-09, BIG EAST student-athletes again suc-ceeded on the national stage. The Connecticut women’s basketball team won its sixth national championship by defeating conference-foe Louisville in an all-BIG EAST NCAA title game. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team reached the NCAA championship game and the Syracuse field hockey squad advanced to the NCAA Final Four. Three BIG EAST women’s cross country teams finished in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships. West Virginia was fourth followed by Villanova in sixth place and Georgetown in ninth.

Individually in women’s sports, Providence’s Dannette Doetzel won the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Connecticut’s Maya Moore was the conference’s sixth winner of the Wade Trophy as the top player in women’s basketball. Notre Dame’s Kerri Hanks won the Hermann Trophy, the top award in wom-en’s soccer.

On the men’s side, Connecticut and Villanova advanced to the Final Four in basketball. The 2008-09 campaign was arguably the best men’s basketball season in the his-tory of the BIG EAST with the league setting NCAA stan-dards with three No. 1 tournament seeds, four teams in the round of the Elite Eight and five in the Sweet 16.

The St. John’s men’s soccer team reached the NCAA College Cup before losing in the national semifinals.

BIG EAST football has maintained its high profile and its reputation as a balanced group. Seven of the league’s eight squads were nationally ranked or received votes in the national polls in 2008. Cincinnati was the league champion. The BIG EAST, a charter member of the Bowl Championship Series, has won three of its last four BCS bowl games. West Virginia, Louisville and Connecticut also have won or shared league crowns over the past four seasons.

The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-ath-letes who were at the forefront of athletic and academic achievement. In 2008-09, 19 BIG EAST players were cho-sen to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams, including eight first-team selections. Nearly 400 student-athletes have earned academic all-America honors.

The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida.

BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top-34 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one-fourth of all television households in the U.S.

Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 26 national championships in six different sports and 126 student-athletes have won individual national titles.

The BIG EAST has enjoyed tremendous basketball suc-cess, especially in this decade. In 2008-09, the BIG EAST produced four of the eight Final Four teams in men’s and women’s basketball. It was only the second time in NCAA history that one conference placed that many Final Four teams in the same season.

In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA bas-ketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basket-ball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 11 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken six of the last 10 NCAA titles.

Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST con-tinually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger.

In 2009-10, the BIG EAST will add men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which will increase its total to 24 sport championships. The first women’s golf champion-ship was held in the spring of 2003. Women’s lacrosse and rowing were added in 2001.

The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, follow-ing a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance.

While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably shows a balance between

intercollegiate athletics and academics.Any successful organization has been fortunate to

have outstanding leadership. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Dave Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference.

For 2009-10, the BIG EAST will undergo one significant change. Tranghese stepped down from his position on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who has served as senior associate commissioner, has moved into the Commissioner’s chair.

The league has long been considered a leader in inno-vative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student-athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC.

BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past six years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and base-ball.

More than 550 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned All-America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been well represented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams. Several athletes earned gold medals in each of the last six summer Olympiads.

The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 athletes.

Divers Bob Ebel and Michael Bulfin along with swimmer Tim Kegelman are the only three Notre Dame student-athletes ever to take part in the NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships.

Bulfin, from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., became the first member of the Irish program to earn multiple trips to the NCAA Championships when he made his second trip in 2008. Bulfin added another feather to his cap by becoming the program’s first All-American. He notched a pair of points in the final round of the 3-meter competition to secure a top-20 finish at the 2008 NCAAs. Bulfin finished 28th in the 1-meter with a count of 264.25 during the preliminary rounds. He followed that with a stellar 319.55 and a 16th-place finish in the 3-meter event during the prelims to move into the final heat. It was there that he moved up one spot to 15th with a score of 332.40 in the final round of the 3-meter to earn the first points for Notre Dame at the NCAAs in program history.

Bulfin also qualified for the NCAAs in 2006.Ebel, a native of St. Louis, Mo., did so in 3-meter

diving event as a sophomore in 1975. He qualified with a record-breaking performance in a dual meet against Illinois State on Feb. 22 in the Rockne Memorial Pool. Ebel's score of 302.65 stood as the school record for nearly 15 years.

Kegelman competed at the 2005 NCAA Championships after earning his berth with a season-best time of 47.66 in the 100 Fly. He also swam in the 200 Individual Medley and the 100 Fly at the national meet.

A variety of other Irish swimmers and divers have been close to qualifying, including a very near miss by diver Andy Maggio in 2002.

Notre Dame swimmers have taken part in other major national and international meets over the several years. MacKenzie LeBlanc took the gold in the 200-meter butterfly at the Tri Nations Cup meet in Quebec City. The Vernon, B.C., native topped the podium after checking in with a time of 2:00.13. LeBlanc won one of Canada's six gold medals to open the two-day meet which featured the top prospects

expected to challenge for spots on the 2012 Olympic teams for Canada, France and Great Britain. The Tri Nations Cup is a dual meet between Canada, France and Great Britain. Hosted in Quebec City, this inaugural competition showcases Canada's 2012 Olympic potential hopefuls. LeBlanc qualified for the Canadian team as a result of his third-

place finish at the Canadian Olympic Trials in Montreal in April 2008.

Andrew MacKay’s was the first Irish swimmer to take part in the Olympics, hitting the warter in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. MacKay, the first native of the Cayman Islands ever to qualify for the Olympics in swimming, took part in both the 200- and 400-meter individual medleys and broke his own national records in both events. In the 400-meter event, it took him just 0.59 seconds to get off the starting blocks at the commencement of the race, and that reaction time was the fastest of any non-backstroker (male or female) during the entire Athens Olympics. He moved up from his seeding in both races to finish 33rd in the 400 IM and 41st in the 200-meter version.

MacKay also competed in the 2004 World Championships in Indianapolis, Ind., swimming the 100-meter IM.

While MacKay is Notre Dame’s first men’s swimming Olympian, various other Irish student-athletes have taken part in high-profile national and international meets. Dan Szilier, a 2000 graduate, was the most accomplished of that group, as he finished ninth in the 200-meter breaststroke in the 1999 World University Games in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Szilier qualified for that team by taking seventh at the 1998 USA Swimming Summer National Championships. In 1997, Szilier was tabbed Rookie of the Meet at the USA Swimming Spring National Championships, ending up third in the 200 breast and eighth in the 100 breast.

James Scott-Browne, a distance freestyler who swam for the Irish from 1997-99, also had a taste of international experience. He was a member of USA Swimming’s national junior team, which took part in a variety of meets abroad. Additionally, Scott-Browne participated in the 1997 World Scholar-Athlete Games.

The 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials featured three Notre Dame swimmers: Szilier, Jonathan Pierce (1,500 free), and Ryan Verlin (200 fly). Szilier led the Irish contingent by finishing 29th in the 200 breast.

Countless other Notre Dame competitors have participated in the USA Swimming senior national meets.

BIG EAST Academic All-Stars

Three of Notre Dame's 21 sports that compete in BIG EAST sports were honored with the 2008-09 BIG EAST Team Excellence Awards recognizing the highest collective grade-point averages in each conference sport. The Fighting Irish men's swimming and diving, men's basketball and women's tennis teams were all recipients of the second annual awards.

In addition to having the highest grade point average, the Irish women's tennis and men's

swimming and diving teams each won BIG EAST championships -- two of the eight conference crowns that were captured by Notre Dame teams on the season.

Nineteen of Notre Dame's 21 BIG EAST teams earned a better than 3.00 cumulative grade-point average during the '08-'09 academic year.

The men's swimming and diving team finished with a 3.272 grade index in 2008-09.

Rolfs Aquatic Center is home to Notre Dame’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams. The pool has two moveable bulkheads that allow the Irish the opportunity to train on either a long or short course.

tator seating for 400 and support facilities.The facility features a cutting edge video and

replay board, two movable bulkheads to allow sections of the pool to be blocked off allowing swimming competition and warm-up swim-ming to occur simultaneously. The design also allows recreational swimming, water polo, instructional swimming and other aquatic activ-ities. Diving is accommodated with two one-meter boards and two three-meter boards.

Support functions housed in the center of the facility just below the spectator seating include men’s and women’s locker rooms, men’s and women’s varsity locker rooms, and men’s and women’s staff locker rooms. Offices for the Notre Dame swimming staff, aquatics directors, and lifeguards are deckside and glass-fronted with a view of the pool.

Several deckside instructional areas are located around the pool and feature infrared heat lamps, designed to keep wet swimmers warm between events. The pool features a stain-less steel racing gutter which is designed to absorb the bow waves of a swimmer, allowing faster swimming times.

Another instructional feature is the two under-water windows which allow critiquing of a diver’s or swimmer’s underwater technique. The unique structural system consists of three trusses which span 120 feet, with the roof suspended below the trusses. In addition, the white exterior trusses provide an interesting and athletic character to the building. The lighting system is designed to be adjusted from maximum brightness for televi-

The Irish swimming and diving teams com-pete in the state-of-the-art Rolfs Aquatic Center. After 27 years of intercollegiate swimming com-petition in the Rockne Memorial Pool, the Notre Dame swimming and diving programs entered a new era in 1985, as they moved to the $4.5-mil-lion natatorium located in the Joyce Center.

Donated by brothers Thomas and Robert Rolf of West Bend, Wis., the Rolfs Aquatic Center pro-vides Notre Dame with a modern, innovative facility on par with any other in the country. Ellerbe Architects and Engineers of Bloomington, Minn., the architects used in the planning of the Joyce Center, also were commissioned to design the 45,000-square-foot facility which houses a 50-meter Olympic pool (25 yards in width), spec-

sion to nearly dark for dramatic synchronized swimming presentations.

The center was officially dedicated on November 13, 1985.

Legendary Notre Dame swim coach Dennis Stark (’47) was the recipient of the Monogram Club's highest honor, the 2010 Moose Krause Distinguished Service Award. The award is given annually to a member of the Notre Dame family who has gone on to accomplish great achievement, which embody the spirit of the Monogram Club and the University.

The award presentation took place in con-junction with the Blue-Gold Spring Football Festival (April 16-17, 2010) in Sports Heritage Hall as part of the Monogram Club's Annual Mass, Meeting & Dinner.

A 1947 graduate of Notre Dame, Stark was the first head coach of the Irish men's program and guided them from 1958-85. He ended his career with a record of 167-137,including an 11-1 mark in 1974-75. Stark, whose student-athletes included Notre Dame's first-ever NCAA qualifiers and

six All-Americans, also headed the wom-en's program from 1981-85, compiling a 31-14 dual-meet record during his tenure.

He was the 1984 women's coach of the year in the North Star Conference. In 1985, Stark retired from coaching and moved into an administrative roll as director of Rolfs Aquatic Center.

Today, Stark remains heavily involved in the Special Olympics program in the Northern Indiana area. He was the aquat-ics venue manager for the 1987 International Summer Olympics held in South Bend and was even honored by Special Olympics advocate Eunice Kennedy Shriver for his outstanding work.

A native of Detroit, Mich., Stark and his wife, Angelina, are the parents of five children, three of which are Notre Dame graduates.

University of Notre Dame

Historyl The University of Notre Dame du Lac was founded

in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South Bend, Ind., and nestled next to St. Mary’s and Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started with $310 in cash and three log buildings in disrepair.

l Notre Dame would establish many firsts for Catholic institutions of higher learning, includ-ing the first Catholic law school, the first Catholic engineering school and the first student residence with private rooms, Sorin Hall.

Academicsl The University is organized into four colleges – Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Men-

doza College of Business – the School of Architecture, the Law School, the Graduate School, six major research institutes, more than 40 centers and special programs and the University library system.

l Notre Dame is rated among the nation’s top-25 institutions of higher learning in surveys conducted by U.S. News and World Report, Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger’s and Kaplan/Newsweek.

l The Mendoza College of Business is ranked #1 among the nation’s top undergraduate business schools by Bloomberg BusinessWeek.

l Notre Dame is among a select group of schools that ranks in the top 30 on the U.S. News & World Report survey of the nation’s top colleges and in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Directors’ Cup for overall success in athletics.

Studentsl Graduate and undergraduate students at the University come from all 50 states 100 countries

worldwide. l Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton. l Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate between the freshman and sophomore years is among the

highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program. l Notre Dame has one of the highest undergraduate residential concentrations of any national univer-

sity, with 80 percent of its students living in 29 residence halls.

l The medical school acceptance rate of the University’s preprofessional studies graduates is 80 percent, almost twice the national average.

l Notre Dame ranks first among Catholic universities in the number of doctorates earned by its under-graduate alumni – a record compiled over some 85 years.

Servicel Community service is a hallmark of Notre Dame. About 80 percent of Notre Dame students engage in

some form of voluntary community service during their years at the University, and at least 10 percent devote a year or more after graduation to service in the United States and around the world.

l The University’s Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) annually sends 180 recent graduates to teach in some 100 understaffed Catholic schools in the southern, southeastern and southwestern United States and in South Bend. A national model, ACE has received the Higher Education Award from the Corporation for National Service for leadership in using national service resources through AmeriCorps.

Alumnil The University’s network of nearly 270 alumni clubs – including 60 international clubs – is the most

extensive in higher education. l With graduates renowned for their loyalty and generosity, Notre Dame annually ranks among the

top-five in percentage of alumni who contribute to the University.

l In recent years, Notre Dame alumni have won a Nobel Prize in medicine, a Pulitzer Prize in jour-nalism and an Emmy Award for con-tributions to television technology.
