MEDIA INFORMATION The 2011-12 LSU swimming and diving media guide was written to provide members of the media with statistics and information needed to cover the LSU swimming and diving teams. If you need further information or wish to setup an interview with head swimming coach David Geyer, head diving coach Doug Shaffer, assistant coaches Lance Asti or Brandy Collins as well as any of the student-athletes, please contact Seth Medvin in the LSU Sports Information Department at (225) 578-1867/[email protected]. Team practices are open to the media, usually beginning at 2 p.m., and concluding around 4 p.m. Co-head coaches David Geyer and Doug Shaffer reserve the right to close practices at their discretion. Members of the media should contact Medvin at least one day in advance if they plan to attend practice. Members of the media with video cameras are only allowed to shoot practice in the grandstands on the east side of the natatorium (side closest to the tennis courts) or in the bleachers in front of the diving well near the west side entrance. Interviews are typically conducted following the conclusion of practice. Admission to all LSU home meets is free, and no credential access is needed. Members of the media are asked to enter through the front entrance and sit in the grandstands on the east side. Meet notes will be provided on a table near the front entrance. Post-meet interviews will normally be conducted following the meet in front of the press box and diving bleachers. Athletes will be available upon request but may be unavailable until the teams are finished warming down.

IMAGES Members of the media can obtain high resolution photos on all LSU coaches and student-athletes as well as official LSU logos on the Internet at http://media.lsusports.net. The site features head shots and action shots of all LSU athletes. To gain access to the database, contact Seth Medvin for a login name and password.

LSU’s Memorial Tower (top main photo) was one of the first structures completed on the present campus and sits east of the quadrangle (above, left). It represents the University as a memorial to those who gave their lives during World War I. Although it currently houses the LSU Anglo-American Art Museum, plans are in process to return Memorial Tower to a military museum as originally intended. The University lakes (above, right) on the LSU campus give various recreational options.

LSU


“It was really quite an honor to be able to play for LSU. Being from Lockport, everybody down there is a big LSU fan. Once I graduated from high school and had to make the decision where I was going to play, LSU was the obvious choice because I had grown up an LSU fan and it was a place where my family could watch me play. LSU really helped me grow both as a player and a person. I have nothing but fond memories of the place.”

TommyHodsonQuarterback(1986-89)

All-SEC

WhyLSU?“When I first set foot on the LSU campus, I loved the atmosphere. The campus was beautiful, and everyone from the coaches to the professors had really impressed me. I did have hesitations before I came on my initial visit, but as soon as I got here, I realized I belonged at LSU.”

Did You Know?

“I was basically an in-state guy and had always thought about going to LSU for football and to get a good education. I made a lot of visits to different schools in my selection process, but everything always pointed toward LSU. My heart and my family guided me in that direction not just for the athletics, but for the academics as well. From top to bottom LSU has good people from the coaches on down the line.”

BradieJamesLinebacker(1999-2002)

“LSU is my home. It was a place where I made my name and a place where I was able to come here and have fun. It was the best three years of my life. While you are here, have fun and become a master of time management. You need to do what you have to do to make it. Work hard. I have been blessed. Baton Rouge is the place that helped me become who I am. I will never forget this place.”

NATATORIUMLSU

Competition Pool Diving Well


LSULSU Natatorium

Opened in the summer 1985, the LSU Natatorium has served as the exclusive home of the swimming and diving teams for the past 26 seasons.

The complex features a 50-meter pool, which can be converted into two 25-meter or 25-yard pools with the use of bulkheads. Furthermore, the facility houses a championship diving well, which was completely renovated in the summer of 2003 with one- and three-meter springboards and five-, seven- and 10-meter platforms.

The programs added new graphics and signage throughout the venue in the fall of 2011 and upgraded the scoring system in the fall of 2008, unveiling a pair of state-of-the-art videoboards. (Refurbished locker rooms were also completed in Fall 2011). The spacious locker rooms feature separate varsity

lockers, both for men and women, and include public showers and locker areas.

The facility has played host to several national competitions, including the 1985 National Sports Festival, the 1986 Men’s Southeastern Conference Championships, the 1987 NCAA Diving Regional and the U.S. Diving National Championships in the spring 1987. The Natatorium was also the host facility during the 1999 NCAA Regional Diving Championships.

Last season, the LSU women’s swimming and diving team posted a perfect 5-0 dual-meet record at home en route to a 13-4 mark for the season, its highest win total in program history. Moreover, senior Jane Trepp shattered the LSU Natatorium record in the 50-yard freestyle for the third time in her career, delivering a new pool mark

of 22.69 on Jan. 15, 2011, against the University of the Incarnate Word.

On the men’s side, the Tigers finished 2-1 at home for the season, including a big victory over perennial rival Florida State from the Atlantic Coast Conference on Oct. 30, 2010.

The landmark is located immediately north of the LSU Field House and can comfortably accommodate 2,200 spectators. Admission to all LSU swimming and diving meets is free.

The state capitol building of Louisiana, located in the heart of downtown Baton Rouge, is the tallest capitol building in the nation at 34 stories and overlooks the Mississippi River.

ROUGEHospitality and comfort are a Southern tradition practiced to perfection around Baton Rouge. Minutes from the city, ancient moss-draped oaks, fragrant honeysuckle, formal gardens and the finest examples of Southern architecture await. Combine this with the excitement of the mighty Mississippi River, Cajun music and a gourmet meal that is topped with freshly brewed cafe-au-lait at one of Baton Rouge’s fine restaurants. So what does the future hold? Baton Rouge is now one of the fastest growing cities in the South -- a bustling Metropolis of cutting edge technology companies, high-powered law firms and forward thinking city leaders who passionately support the arts and promote the local economy. Old Man River just got an upgrade. Yes, this is one city that’s rolling on the river.

Proximity�Baton Rouge is just an hour away from the French Quarter in New Orleans and even closer to the million-acre Atchafalaya Swamp, which is called one of the biggest fishing ponds in the country.

Adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico and dotted with hundreds of lakes and bayous, Louisiana is home to all types of terrain from swamps and marshes to lush forests and gentle hills.

3UniqueCultureLouisiana is home to Mardi Gras, a two-week party that includes more than 60 parades and millions of visitors from around the world. All year long New Orleans Jazz, Creole culture, stately riverboats and some of the finest cuisine in the world is mixed into the diverse and renowned culture of Louisiana.

TheFutureIn August 2010, LSU Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva and the Tiger Athletic Foundation launched a campaign to preserve and restore the look of Tiger Stadium. Construction is well underway in refurbishing the 428 windows on the North End of Tiger Stadium. The fully funded window project is the initial phase of Alleva’s plan to overhaul the entire corridor of North Stadium Drive between Tiger Stadium and the Maravich Center. The improvements are geared to making Tiger Stadium and the surrounding area a modern showplace.

“Tiger Stadium is one of the most iconic venues in all of college sports. Tiger fans have grown up there, made friends there, cheered there and cried there. The memories are endless. That is why the preservation of the 87-year-old home of the Tigers is so important.”

–LSUViceChancellorandDirectorofAthleticsJoeAlleva

Gameday INTIGERTOWN

“We’ll just begin here, knowing full well that any other campus can’t possibly touch the magic of a night game in Death Valley. If tradition is tailgating, the LSU band and – if you’re lucky – a Mike the Tiger sighting, then I’m all in.”

- Matt Hayes, Sporting News; May 25, 2010

“I’d been warmed prior to my first visit to Baton Rouge that the legendary Death Valley mystique was a myth. The assessment couldn’t have been more wrong. Tiger Stadium was as loud as any I’ve heard during the dramatic fourth quarter of Saturday’s Georgia game, the festivities surrounding it as advertised. The streets were lined with purple and gold. Smoke emanated from the grills in the parking lot. Shouts of “Go Tigers” and “Tiger Bait” echoed from the stadium deep into the heart of the campus. And that was just Friday night.”

- Stewart Mandel, SI.com; Sept. 21, 2003

Tiger fans line North Stadium Drive in preparation to see the LSU football team walk down Victory Hill. A little over an hour before kickoff, the Golden Band From Tigerland’s march follows and sets the scene for one of college football’s greatest traditions.


LSU’s legendary tailgating experience was recently named No. 1 by the Associated Press in a September 2010 poll. The campus becomes one of the biggest and best parties in the nation on Saturdays in the fall.

“Nothing like tailgating on the Bayou. LSU is my personal favorite. Maybe it’s my penchant for the spicy stuff. But there’s nothing like sampling a little gumbo, a little jambalaya and then diving face-first into a shrimp boil. The aroma just walking through the parking lot to Tiger Stadium stays with you the whole day, and the LSU fans get there early and stay late.”

- Chris Low, ESPN.com; Sept. 26, 2008

“Walking among the tailgaters here is like strolling through one of Emeril

Lagasse’s restaurants. RW once joined a group serving jambalaya, duck and oyster gumbo, stuffed quail, deer sauce picante, wild duck, cochon de lait, Cajun sausage, crawfish etouffee, rabbit, alligator stew

and marinated pork tenderloin. And that was for a non-conference game.

- Jim Caple, ESPN.com; August 19, 2008

“The scene is college football’s Mardi Gras – beads, music and more tasty

creations than the best culinary school. Some evenings, tens of thousands of fans show up to party and stay in the

parking lot during games. That’s pretty cool.”

- Dave Curtis, Sporting News; May 25, 2010

Championship TRADITIONLSU ATHLETICS

The 2009-10 athletic year saw LSU claim a pair of SEC regular championships. Volleyball won its first SEC title since 1991 and the women’s outdoor track and field team was crowned SEC champions for the 11th time in program history. Baseball followed up a national championship with a third straight SEC

Tournament title, becoming the first school in league history to achieve that feat. Gymnast Susan Jackson

received the highest individual honor as she was named SEC Female Athlete of the Year after winning

two individual national championships.

DidYouKnow?In a time when subsidies for college athletics across the country are reaching an all-time high, a report published by USA Today in January 2010 indicated that LSU and Nebraska are the only two athletic departments in the nation that receive no subsidies.

DidYouKnow? LSU is the only school in SEC history to pull a “triple-double” -- winning double-figure conference titles in the sports of football, men’s basketball and baseball. The Tigers have claimed 10 football titles, 10 men’s basketball championships and a league-leading 14 baseball titles.


The following nine individuals are the only athletes to have their jerseys retired by LSU. Men’s basketball has retired the No. 23 for Pete Maravich, No. 50 for Bob Pettit, Jr., No. 33 for Shaquille O’Neal and No. 40 for Rudy Macklin. Women’s basketball retired the No. 33 for Seimone Augustus. Football’s only two retired jerseys are the No. 20 worn by Billy Cannon and the No. 37 worn by Tommy Casanova. Baseball retired the No. 15 in honor of longtime coach and former athletics director Skip Bertman and the No. 20 for Ben McDonald. Casanova, Macklin and McDonald joined the prestigious list in May 2009. Augustus became the first woman in LSU Athletics history to have her jersey retired in January 2010. LSU

In 1997, he was named as one of the top 50 players in NBA history.

23PeteMaravich“Pistol Pete,” Maravich still holds the NCAA record for career points with 3,667 and for career scoring average with 44.2 points a game. He was selected the National Player of the Year in 1970 after leading the Tigers to the NIT Final Four. He scored 50-plus points an amazing 28 times. He went on to a 10-year professional career and was selected as one of the NBA’s 50 greatest players in 1997.

TommyCasanova37Tommy Casanova is the only three-time All-American in

the history of LSU football and is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. During his Tiger career from 1969-71,

Casanova personified versatility for his myriad of talents as he played offense, defense, returned punts and kickoffs. One

of just two three-time All-SEC performers at LSU, he played six seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL while

earning his medical degree.

BenMcDonald19Ben McDonald won the prestigious Golden Spikes Award,

given annually to the nation’s most outstanding player, in 1989 and is a member of the College Baseball Hall of Fame.

He led LSU to two College World Series appearances. In 1989, McDonald was named National Player of the Year by Baseball America, The Sporting News and Collegiate Baseball. He was selected by the Baltimore Orioles as the No. 1 pick in the ma-jor league draft in 1989 and went on to enjoy a 10-year major

league career with the Orioles and the Milwaukee Brewers.

RudyMacklin40Rudy Macklin was a two-time basketball All-American selec-

tion during his Tiger career from 1976-81 during which time he became LSU’s all-time leading rebounder with 1,276 boards and the second-leading scorer in school history behind only the legendary Pete Maravich with 2,080 points. He led the

Tigers to two Elite Eight appearances and the 1981 Final Four in Philadelphia. He still holds the school single game rebound

record with 32, a mark like some of the great records in any sport that may never be broken.

AboutLSURetiredJerseysThe retirement of the jerseys of Casanova, McDonald, Macklin and Augustus comes under a new provision of the LSU jersey retirement bylaws that says the retirement of an ath-lete’s jersey in a particular sport does not preclude a current student-athlete in that sport from wearing the jersey number in that or any other sport, subject to the discretion of the head coach. This provision applies only to jerseys retired after January 1, 2007, so the numbers worn by Maravich, Pettit, O’Neal, Cannon and Bertman may never again be worn by future student-athletes in their respective sports. To have a jersey retired at LSU, an athlete must have completed intercollegiate competition for LSU a minimum of five years prior to nomination. Athletes must have demonstrated truly unusual and outstanding accomplishments, exceeding and in addition to all criteria used for Hall of Fame selection. Nominees must have a unanimous vote of support from the Hall of Fame committee.

SeimoneAugustus33Seimone Augustus is the only women’s basketball player in school history to earn State Farm Coaches Association All-

America honors three times: 2004, 2005 and 2006. Augustus became LSU’s first NCAA National Player of the Year and she claimed the honor twice in 2005 and 2006. A 2006 graduate

of LSU, Augustus was the WNBA’s No. 1 draft pick in 2006. She went on to lead the United States to a gold medal at the

2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

The six-year-old Bengal/Siberian mix, formerly known as “Roscoe,” was donated to LSU by Great Cats of Idaville in Idaville, Ind., a nonprofit sanctuary and rescue facility for big cats and other large carnivores. Mike’s ride through Tiger Stadium before home games in a travel trailer topped by the LSU cheerleaders is a school tradition. Before entering the stadium, his trailer on wheels is parked next to the opponent’s locker room in the southeast end of the stadium. Opposing players must make their way past Mike’s trailer to reach their locker room. Tradition dictates that the Tigers will score a touchdown for every growl issued by Mike before a football game. For many years, Mike was prompted to roar by pounding on the cage. Objections of cruel punishment brought about the use of recorded growls to play to the crowd before the games. That practice was discontinued shortly afterward and today Mike

participates in the pregame tradition without provocation. In the mid-1980’s, pranksters cut the locks on Mike IV’s cage and freed him in the early-morning hours just days before the annual LSU-Tulane clash. Mike roamed free, playfully knocking down several small pine trees in the area, before being trapped in the Bernie Moore Track Stadium where police used tranquilizer guns to capture and return the Bengal Tiger to his home. The incident was reminiscent of a kidnapping of Mike I many years ago by Tulane students before a Tiger-Green Wave battle.

Mike

1936-1956

MikeIThe original Mike was purchased from the Little Rock Zoo in 1936 for $750, with money contributed by the student body. Originally known as “Sheik” at the time of his purchase, his name was changed to Mike to honor Mike Chambers who served as LSU’s athletic trainer when the first mascot was purchased. The first Mike was housed in the Baton Rouge Zoo for one year before a permanent home was constructed near Tiger Stadium. Mike I reigned for 20 years before dying of pneumonia.

THETIGER

SneauxDayOn Dec. 11, 2008, a winter storm blanketed Baton Rouge that hadn’t been seen in decades. The early white Christmas gave Mike VI, LSU’s live Bengal/Siberian tiger, a chance to relax and play in nearly two inches of accumulation.


ChampionshipCatDuringhistenure,MikeVreignedoverafootballnationalchampionship,fivebaseballnationalchampionshipsandaremarkable23trackandfieldchampionships.

Mike’sHabitatIn 2005, a new environment (above) was created for Mike that is 15,000 square feet in size with lush planting, a large live oak tree, a beautiful waterfall and a stream evolving from a rocky backdrop overflowing with plants and trees. The habitat has, as a backdrop, an Italianate tower - a campanile - that creates a visual bridge to the Italianate architectural vernacular that is the underpinning of the image of the entire beautiful LSU campus. This spectacular habitat features state-of-the-art technologies, research, conservation and husbandry programs, as well as educational, interpretive and recreational activities. It is, in essence, one of the largest and finest Tiger habitats in the United States.

1956-1958

MikeIIThe second Mike served a brief reign, lasting only through the 1957 season before dying of pneumonia in the spring of 1958. He was born at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans and came to LSU on Sept. 28, 1956. The young tiger was held overnight in Tiger Stadium and unveiled Sept. 29, the opening day of the football season.

1958-1976

MikeIIIJust in time for the 1958 national championship season, Mike III was purchased from the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Wash., following a “national search” by then-athletic director Jim Corbett. The student body contributed $1,500 for the purchase of the tiger. Mike III served as mascot for 18 seasons, dying after the only losing season of his reign, as LSU posted a 5-6 record in 1975.

1976-1990

MikeIVMike IV reigned over Tiger athletics for 14 years after being donated to the school by August A. Busch III from the Dark Continent Amusement Park in Tampa, Fla, on Aug. 29, 1976. Born on May 15, 1974, Mike’s age and health were determining factors in his retirement to the Baton Rouge Zoo in 1990. Mike IV died of old age in March of 1995 at the age of 21.

1990-2007

MikeVMike V was donated by Dr. Thomas and Caroline Atchison of the Animal House Zoological Park in Moulton, Ala. Dr. Sheldon Bivin of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine traveled to Alabama and brought the baby tiger back to Baton Rouge. Born Oct. 18, 1989, the new tiger was introduced to LSU fans at a basketball game against Alabama in February of 1990. He officially began his reign on April 30, 1990, when he was moved into the tiger habitat across from Tiger Stadium. Mike V died on May 18, 2007, at the age of 17.

2007-present

MikeVIMike VI arrived in Baton Rouge on Aug. 25, 2007, thanks to the donation by Great Cats of Idaville, Ind. He was officially designated as the successor to Mike V on Sept. 8, when LSU played host to Virginia Tech. Six days later, on Sept. 14, 2007, a ceremony was held to honor Mike V and dedicate the habitat to Mike VI. The six-year-old Bengal/Siberian mix, formerly known as “Roscoe,” reigned over a football national title in his first year.

Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics

JoeAllevaLSU Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics

Alleva joined the LSU family on April 4, 2008 after a highly successful tenure as director of athletics at Duke University for 10 years. Alleva’s role at LSU was further expanded in August of 2009 when vice chancellor was added to his title by the LSU Board of Supervisors. It is the first time in school history that the director of athletics has also held a vice chancellor position. Alleva was recently appointed to a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee, reinforcing his position as one of the most respected athletic administrators in the country. Upon his arrival at LSU, Alleva unveiled a strategic master plan for the LSU athletics program -- “LSU: Thru and True” -- to ensure the advancement and future of LSU Athletics as an exemplary program. The central mission of the plan is to create an environment for student-athletes to reach their ultimate potential, prepare them to be champions in life and to set out goals and values for the entire athletics program. Alleva’s vision for LSU athletics facilities includes plans to enhance the appearance of Tiger Stadium and transform the North Stadium Drive corridor into a showplace for the university. Under his direction, LSU’s world-renowned track and field program received a state-of the-art running surface last year when a new track was installed in Bernie Moore Stadium. Extensive renovations to the Tiger soccer facility will be completed this fall, and future plans include a new gymnastics practice facility, a tennis complex, and renovations to the Maravich Center and field house. Alleva directed a major renovation to the University Club golf course that was completed in September 2010 and allows the LSU men’s and women’s golf teams to compete on one of the most challenging courses in the country. The renovated course helped prepare Tiger golfers John Peterson and Austin Ernst, respectively, to win 2011 NCAA men’s and women’s individual championships, marking the first time both titles were claimed by players from the same school. The Lady Tiger golfers were third in the final team standings, marking the highest finish in LSU history. LSU Athletics completed another highly successful year in 2010-11, highlighted by a Fighting Tiger football squad that posted an 11-2 mark – including a Cotton Bowl victory – and finished the season ranked No. 8 in the nation. The 2010-11 athletic year also featured Top 5 national finishes both indoors and outdoors by the men’s and women’s track and field teams. In 2008-09, all 20 LSU sports competed

in NCAA postseason play for the first time in school history and the Tiger baseball team won the national championship. This past year LSU ranked second among Southeastern Conference teams in the Learfield Director’s Cup All-Sports standings and finished in the Top 20 for the sixth year in a row. Alleva ensures that the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is a first-class facility that provides student-athletes the resources necessary for success in the classroom and personal development. The facility was recently enhanced by the addition of a media training center that gives student-athletes valuable assistance in improving their communications skills. And with a strong emphasis on community service and outreach programs, the implementation under Alleva’s direction of the “Geaux Givers” program fosters a relationship between the local community and LSU student-athletes, who regularly participate in philanthropic events. In addition, Alleva has bolstered the department’s L-Club program to reach out and connect with former student-athletes. Alleva oversees a staff of outstanding coaches and he made two critical additions to LSU’s coaching staff in the off-season. He lured the dynamic Nikki Caldwell to LSU to coach the Lady Tiger basketball team and then hired Beth Torina to direct the Tiger softball program, bringing a new wealth of knowledge and passion to the LSU women’s sports program. Alleva is an innovator with bold ideas that benefit not only LSU but all of Greater Baton Rouge. He has been instrumental in the planning of the Bayou Country Superfest, a two-day country music concert and festival held in Tiger Stadium each spring. The event

attracts nearly 100,000 visitors to the LSU campus and makes a tremendous economic impact upon the local community. Alleva has served on numerous national committees throughout his career including the Football Bowl Certification Committee, the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet and several Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference committees. He became director of athletics at Duke in 1998 and his impressive tenure there propelled the university into the ranks of America’s top all-around collegiate programs. Among his outstanding list of accomplishments includes the greatest 10-year period in Duke Athletics, winning more ACC and NCAA championships than in any other decade in school history. Alleva, whose hometown is Suffern, N.Y., majored in Finance at Lehigh University and received his bachelor’s degree in 1975. While at Lehigh, Alleva was the quarterback of the football team and team captain in 1974. Alleva also played on the Lehigh baseball team. He served as a graduate assistant football coach and earned an MBA in 1976. While at Duke, Alleva played a key role in Durham’s community sports scene. He started Little League Baseball in Durham over 20 years ago, and also began the American Legion baseball program. He is a member of the North Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame, Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall of Fame. Alleva and his wife, Annie, have three children, J.D., Jeff, and Jenny.

Joe Alleva continues to bring unprecedented national recognition to LSU as Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. Under Alleva’s leadership, LSU enjoys one of the country’s premier athletics programs with success on and off the field of competition. Now in his fourth season at LSU, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence, and is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for student-athletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community.

Dr.JohnV.LombardiPresident, Louisiana State University System

Dr. John V. Lombardi is the fifth individual to serve as the President of the Louisiana State University System. As its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Lombardi oversees 11 institutions, including five academic campuses, as well as 10 public hospitals located throughout the state. He is also a Professor of History at Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College. Dr. Lombardi was born in Los Angeles, California and attended Pomona College where he earned his bachelor’s degree. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in history from Columbia University. He joined the faculty in the Department of History at Indiana University, where he later served as Dean of International Programs and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. In 1987, he became Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at the Johns Hopkins University. From 1990-1999, Dr. Lombardi was President of the University of Florida. Prior to his appointment as President of the LSU System, he served as Chancellor of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He is a Latin American historian, with a special interest in Venezuela. Dr. Lombardi is also one of the country’s foremost authorities in higher education, serving as Co-Editor of The Top American Research Universities. He is the author of numerous professional publications, and along with his wife, Cathryn, co-authored a teaching atlas on Latin American History. He has taught courses in history, intercollegiate sports, and university management.

Before arriving at NMSU in 2004, Dr. Martin served for six years as vice president for agriculture and natural resources at the University of Florida, leading the university’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. He was elevated to senior vice president of the University of Florida shortly before being selected as NMSU’s president. Previously, he was vice president for agricultural policy and the dean of the College of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences at the University of Minnesota. He began his academic career at Oregon State University as a faculty member in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics. An academic leader dedicated to the land-grant mission, Dr. Martin is recognized as a strong voice for higher education. In 2007, he received the Justin Smith Morrill Memorial Award, named after the author of the bill creating land-grant universities, which honors outstanding service on behalf of the land-grant mission. Only six individuals have been designated to receive this award since it was first given in 1980. For his leadership in improving the quality of life for New Mexico citizens and future generations, he was awarded the 2008 Distinguished Leadership Award by Leadership New Mexico. Other recent awards include his recognition as a powerbroker by The New Mexico Business Weekly in 2006, being named Outstanding Alumnus of Minnesota State University Mankato in 2006, and receiving the NMSU Social Justice Award in 2005. Dr. Martin is involved in a wide array of professional and community organizations and activities. An active scholar, Dr. Martin has authored numerous book chapters and articles for academic journals, trade publications, and the popular press and recently published pieces for The Chronicle of Higher Education and University Business. Some of his philosophy is summed up in the following quote: “It is the tradition of land-grant universities to be non-traditional,” written as part of a 2001 article titled “The Land-Grant University in the 21st Century,” published in the Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics. He traced the history of the land-grant movement from the mid-1800s and concluded that “the fundamental land-grant principles of accessibility, practical as well as classical education, research and discovery in the public interest, and connectedness to all the people remain powerful and profound.” A native of Crosby, Minn., Dr. Martin earned a bachelor’s degree in business and economics and a master’s degree in economics at Mankato State College (Minnesota State University) in Minnesota. He received his Ph.D. in applied economics from the University of Minnesota in 1977. Dr. Martin and his wife, Jan, have two children, both adopted from South Korea. Amanda, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, is a graphic artist in Saint Paul, Minn.

DydiaDeLyserFaculty Athletics Representative

Dydia DeLyser, an associate professor in the Department of Geography and Anthropology, serves in her fifth year as LSU’s Faculty Athletics Representative. DeLyser, a native of Santa Monica, Calif., earned her bachelor’s degree in 1992 from UCLA, and her master’s and doctoral degrees from Syracuse University (in 1996 and 1998). DeLyser arrived at LSU in August 1998 as an Instructor before becoming an assistant professor one year later. She was promoted to associate professor with tenure in August 2005. DeLyser is a cultural-historical geographer. Her research has been both ethnographic and historical, and most of it questions how different built landscapes can help make the past meaningful in the present. Much of her published research has focused on two different studies. One was a many-year ethnographic study of a ghost town in California (Bodie State Historic Park) where she examined how images and ideas about the American mythic West became meaningful to the tourists who visited the town. The second was an historical study that examined a 19th century novel (Ramona) and how it changed the way people understood (and still understand) southern California’s past. Her current research concerns early women aviators and how they used their practices of flying to advance feminism in the post-suffrage era. DeLyser teaches graduate courses in cultural geography, qualitative research, and academic and professional writing. She has also taught undergraduate courses in cultural, and urban geography, and an introductory world-regional geography course. DeLyser is a first-generation American -- her parents were Dutch immigrants and English is her second language. She also has language abilities in Russian and Spanish. DeLyser’s hobbies include driving/riding antique cars and motorcycles. She is also a licensed pilot and co-owns a Citabria, which is a two-place aerobatic airplane.

FREESTYLE Arguably the Tigers’ biggest strength is the sprint freestyle, particularly the 100 free, where the Tigers return Kendall, the program record holder in the event with a time of 47.90. She emerged victoriously in the consolation final and earned her first of four Honorable Mention All-America Honors in the 100 free (48.12) at the NCAA Championships and should break into the championship final this year. Kendall’s long course 100-meter free time of 55.08 at US Nationals pitted her in seventh place among the top swimmers in the world and should translate into increased success in short course-yards. Goates, a four-time NCAA Honorable Mention All-American, raced to a personal-best 100 free time of 50.00 at the NCAA Championships. “Samantha is our lone senior on the women’s side,” Geyer said. “We’re looking for some leadership and some guidance from her. The team looks up to her. She is on board with that. She is swimming for the team and is here for the coaches. She is ready to get this senior year going and finish the best that she

can be.” Junior Chelsea Griffiths will contribute in the 100 free after primarily swimming free in relays. She registered a career-best 52.00 leading off the 400 free relay at the Cougar Classic. Moving over to the 50 free, Kendall’s top 50 free time of 22.04 leaves her at second place in program history and .07 seconds behind Trepp. Goates posted the third fastest 50 free mark in program history with a time of 22.55 at the NCAA Championships after qualifying for the championship final at the SEC Championships. Incoming freshman Niemi holds a mark of 25.23 in the 50-meter free, which translates to one of the top 50-yard free times of any collegiate freshman swimmer. “It will be interesting to watch how Niemi develops,” Geyer said. “She already has an elite 50 freestyle under her belt, both in long course and short course meters. Her time converts to about the same that Jane Trepp swam coming into her senior year. That is going to be huge as far as the individual 50 free and relays go.”

Sophomore Mikayda Mills will add depth to the 50 free as she recorded a season-best lead-off split of 24.43 in the 50 free to help her 200 free relay squad earn second in a quadruple meet against Houston, Rice and Tulane. Furthermore, freshman Amber Carter’s top 50 free time in high school of 24.08 should add her into the mix. “I think Carter has a great deal of potential and development,” Geyer said. “I want to believe that after her freshman year there are going to be a lot of programs looking at us and wondering where she came from.” The Fairfax, Va., native Kendall also holds claim to LSU’s 200 free program record (1:44.95), which she set during the team’s record setting 800 free relay at the SEC Cham-pionships. Haley, primarily a fly competitor, adds quality to the 200 free after notching a time of 1:51.46 against Texas A&M in last season’s victory. In addition, Haley also competes in the 500 free and cranked out the Tigers top time of the season (4:52.09) and sixth overall in program history in that event at the SEC Championships. She will be joined in the dis-

tance free races by sophomore Parker Glass. The 1000 and 1650 free are open com-petitions between Haley, Glass, and juniors Audrey Lawson, Kaelee Mader and Sally Wood.

BACKSTROKE The backstroke will be another one of LSU’s strengths behind a quartet of returning swimmers in Ruimerman, Griffiths, Goates and Glass in addition to the newcomer Sepp. Ruimerman stepped up significantly to give LSU a solid back leg on relays and saw her efforts rewarded with All-America and All-SEC recognition. Her top 100 back time of 54.58 during the back leg of the 400 medley relay at the NCAA Championships was good enough for fourth place in program history. Similarly, her top 200 back time of 1:57.14 at the SEC Championships in a 13th place finish was good enough for second place in program history and an NCAA automatic qualifying time. Goates maintains two top-10 program records in the 100 back and 200 back. She set

her lifetime best and third best program mark in the 200 back (1:57.52), and did the same in the 100 back (55.43) with the seventh best finish in program history in 2008. She placed 25th at the NCAA Championships with a time of 55.80. Griffiths ranked second on the team behind Ruimerman this past season in the 100 back (55.42) after finishing 20th at the SEC Championships, which was good enough for sixth all-time in program history. She will also compete in the 200 back. “Griffiths has some natural gifts in the water that a lot of our athletes do not have,” Geyer said. “We’re just waiting for that to come around and for her to take advantage of the resources here for her to do that. She has a new focus coming into the season and I am excited to see how she responds.” Glass contributed in the 200 back and posted the ninth best time in program history at the SEC Championships with a time of 2:00.52 Sepp carries a decorated international resume including the Baltic record in the 100-meter back (1:01.13) and 200-meter back (2:11.73) in short course. “The conversion factor at her backstroke puts her as the top backstroker coming in,” Geyer said. “You still have to race the races and preform well while you’re here. The women’s class was a small class, but there is definitely some punch to it.”

BREASTSTROKE A trio of returning breaststrokers led by Bussey and sophomore Jessica Kopcso and Emily Schwabe hold top-10 program records and should match up competitively with the rest of the SEC. Bussey, a member of the All-SEC Freshman Team and an NCAA qualifier, holds a tight grip on the 200 breast program record (2:11.72) after clocking 23rd at the NCAA Champion-ships. Her 100 breast time of 1:01.31 set at the SEC Championships qualified her for the ‘A’ Final and places her second place in school history behind Trepp’s SEC record 58.94. “As a freshman she came in and set a couple of team records, so we’re excited for her coming back for her sophomore season,” Geyer said. “We’re looking for her to take that experience from the NCAA level that she gained, bring that back and score some more points.” The Abita Springs, La., native Kopcso claimed 19th at the SEC Championships in the 100 breast with a personal best ‘B’ cut time of 1:02.89 that placed her at sixth on the

program annals. She also will compete in the 200 breast after delivering a sixth place finish in the 200 breast at the Cougar Classic. “Kopcso is an in-state talent and I like to try to grab any in state talent that comes through here,” Geyer said. “We want to set up our walls as swimming grows within the state. She had a pretty successful season last year. She threw down some of her best times.” Schwabe enjoyed a stellar fresh-man season and finished 15th at the SEC Championships in the 200 breast en route to contributing points and a fifth-best program mark (2:15.33). BUTTERFLY The Lady Tiger’s are in good hands in the 100 fly with Kendall, but the dynamic 200 fly duo of Haley and Lawson will look make headway after impressive leaps in their perfor-mances from freshman to sophomore year. Carter will look to crack the 100 fly and 200 fly lineup in her first season in competition. Kendall and Trepp battled last year for the top spot in program history in the 100 fly, with Trepp setting the program record at the Cougar Classic with a time of 52.11 and Kendall earning a bronze medal at the SEC Champion-ships only .03 seconds behind to place her second all-time. Haley became the program record holder in the 200 fly at the SEC Championships with a bronze medal performance and a time of 1:56.82, which qualified her for the NCAA Championships where she placed 19th. Her 100 fly time (53.17) from her freshman campaign puts her third in program history. Lawson made strides her sophomore season registering points at the SEC Champi-onship in the 200 fly (2:00.29), which placed her sixth in program history. “Lawson and Sara Haley are kind of that dynamic duo with the 200-yard butterfly,” Geyer said. “They’re both from the same class as well. She had a frustrating freshman year, and we used the summer between freshman and sophomore year to refocus. She came back and had a dynamic sophomore year. She had a terrific long course season, and I think she will try and keep that momentum going into her junior year.” Carter arrives on campus with a lifetime best 100 fly time of 55.91, which should improve with increased training and develop-ment her freshman season.

INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY The individual medley squad returns four competitors in Bussey, Wood and Ruimerman who have the opportunity to score points at the SEC Championship and qualify for the NCAA Championship. Bussey ranked seventh at the SEC Cham-pionship in the 200 IM with a program best time of 1:58.23. She also competes in the 400 IM and took first place in that event against Florida State last season. Wood also participates in both IM events and maintains her spot as sixth in program history in both the 200 IM (2:01.75) and 400 IM (4:19.08). Her top times in both events earned her NCAA ‘B’ cuts. “Wood had a phenomenal summer season,” Geyer said. “She is motivated, excited and driven right now. As far as any dark horse athletes on our team go that will step up at the SEC Championships and possibly the NCAA Championships, she could be it.” Ruimerman, primarily an excellent backstroker, contributed in the 400 IM at the SEC Championships and notched the seventh best time in program history (4:19.91).

RELAYS Following a season that witnessed new program records in three of the five relay events, the 200 freestyle relay (1:28.98), 800 freestyle relay (7:12.73) and the 400 medley relay (3:37.29), the Tigers will work all season to figure out the right relay combination. “If we look at what I talked about last year going into the season with how we thought relays were going to be, by the time we got to November, they changed,” Geyer said. “By the time we got to the SEC Championships, they changed again.” The 200 free relay notched a 10th place finish at the NCAA Championships and captured the bronze medal at the SEC Championships. The 200 medley relay (1:36.91) cranked out a silver medal at the SEC Championships as well as finishing 10th at the NCAA Championships. The incoming freshmen will need to replace Trepp and Betzen in the 200 free relay and the 800 relay, but three of the four positions in the program record setting 400 medley are returning in Ruimerman, Haley and Kendall. Someone will need to step in and fill the shoes Trepp has left in all three relays. “We talk about this all the time with our program, nothing is really given,” Geyer said. “None of our relay teams are really set. With the different freshman coming in such as Sepp, Niemi and Carter, the relays are defi-

nitely wide open. Everyone is going to have to prove themselves in the water to see what happens with who is swimming in the relays.”

DIVING The Tigers diving duo of junior Elle Schmidt and freshman Alex Bettridge will be a force to be reckoned with in dual-meets, conference championships and likely the NCAA Champi-onships. The Mansfield, Ohio native Schmidt put together a solid season in which she recorded career highs in all three of her diving events. She scored in two of three events at SEC’s and qualified for NCAA Zone ‘D’ Diving Regional. Her 1-meter dive score of 295.35 against Incarnate Word was good enough for 10th in program history. She dove to 15th in both the three-meter (263.55) and platform competi-tion (207.45) at SEC’s. “Schmidt has done a good job in her career at being competitive at our dual-meet level and scoring at our conference champion-ships,” Shaffer said. “I think she has the ability of being a contender at our conference championships. With her development going into her junior year, I’m looking for her to step up in that capacity.” Bettridge brings national level experience after competing in this past summer’s AT&T US Diving Championships. She was one of the best divers in the state of Texas during her high school career and finished in the top four all four years of high school at the Texas High School State Championships. “Bettridge has a solid competitive background coming out of the Junior Olympic and the Senior US National competitions,” Shaffer said. “She is going to be a force in our dual-meet competitions. I think she is a good candidate to be a finalist at SEC Champion-ships and is a good candidate for securing the SEC Frehsman Diver of the Year award. I look at Alex as someone who can qualify for the NCAA Championships.”

FREESTYLE Tuomola and sophomore Michael Saco will battle for intra-squad supremacy in the sprint freestyle events this season. The Haarajoki, Finland native, Tuomola proved to be the team’s fastest sprint free-stylist for the second straight season. He delivered seventh in the 50 free (19.83) after qualifying with a program top-10 mark of 19.71 and claimed 11th in the 100 free (43.88) at the SEC Championships. During his freshman campaign he was LSU’s top freshman performer and a member of the SEC All-Freshmen team while posting a 100 free time of 43.65 at the SEC Championships, which was good enough for fourth best in program history. “I know my personal goal for Tuomola is to try to knock down some school records,” Geyer said. “He improved in the 50 free last year and fell short of qualifying for the NCAA Championships. I know that is on his mind this year.” Coming off of injury, Saco was still able to qualify for the SEC Championships despite not improving his top times from high school and the junior national circuit. He registered a career best of 44.93 to take 19th in the 100 free at SEC’s and finished 24th in the 50 free with a career best of 20.35. “The entire second half of the year and even through most of the summer, Coach Asti

and I nursed Saco back to health and made some changes in his stroke,” Geyer said. “We have him thinking a different mentality when it comes to swimming. For his sophomore year we are looking for greater contributions in the sprint freestyles.” South African freshman Frank Greeff will accompany the duo in the sprint freestyle competitions as well as the 200 free. Hamilton and fellow junior Kevin Mihic, Diefenthal and Dassinger will be joined by freshmen Dillon Love as the top competitors for the 200 free. The real strength of the Tigers’ freestyle component stems from the prowess of distance swimmer Hamilton, who holds LSU’s program records in the 500 free (4:22.17), 1000 free (9:06.59) and 1650 free (15:02.32). Senior Rick Duran, Dassinger, sophomore Shane Coltharp and freshmen Mattew Schaefer and Samuel Jardine will complement Hamilton in the various distance free swims. Hamilton emerged as one of the top underclassmen milers in the country while earning his first career All-America honors with an honorable mention 15th place finish in the 1650 free at the NCAA Championships. He raced to ninth in the mile race at SEC’s (15:14.96) and claimed 12th in the 500 free. In his first season after transferring from Florida Atlantic, Duran added quality depth to the distance freestyle ranks after delivering

third in the 1000 free at Texas A&M with a season-best 9:34.29 clocking and a season best of 4:40.94 in the 500 free. Dassinger improved from his sophomore season and placed 30th in the 500 free (4:35.00) at the SEC’s and claimed runner-up honors in the 1000 free in a victory over American.

BACKSTROKE The backstroking duo of Diefenthal and Kunkel will lead the unit that also includes junior Chris Mericas, junior Brock Davis, Das-singer, Coltharp, Saco and freshman Michael Young. Diefenthal was LSU’s top 200 backstroker for the third straight year and also made tre-mendous strides in the 100 back. He posted personal bests and top-five program times in both backstroke races when he swam to a pair of top-16 finishes in the backstroke races at SEC’s. “Diefenthal has continually progressed every year that he has been here,” Geyer said. “He really came in as developmental swimmer, and has gotten faster every year. He has tasted some of the higher levels of competition in our conference. Kunkel delivered 13th in the 200 back at SEC’s with a personal-best 1:46.74 clocking, sixth in program annals. He also swam to a personal best and another program top-10

time of 49.22 in the 100 back to take 20th. The Sydney, Australia native, Young boasts top times of 55.55 and 1:59.62 in the short-course 100m and 200m back, respectively. “Young came highly recommended from some local club coaches in the US that worked with him,” Geyer said. “He has developed continuously since we began recruitment his senior year in the backstroke events. From what we’ve seen on the water and the dry land, he has a great work ethic.” BREASTSTROKE As well as being the top spring freestylist in the program, Tuomola will battle Roddy for program dominance in the 100 breast. Senior Steffen Voelkel, junior Zack Wepasnick, junior Ben Decker, who sat our his sophomore sea-son due to personal reasons and is back after emerging as the Tiger’s best breaststroker his freshman season, and sophomore Walter Loop make up the backstroking corp. Transfer Ricardo Jiminez will add some punch to the group as well. Tuomola raced to sixth in the 100 breast (53.99) at the SEC Championships enroute to posting the fourth best mark in program history. Roddy earned eighth in the 100 breast (54.22) at the SEC Championships after gain-ing entry with a personal-best 54.16 clocking, fifth all-time at LSU, in a swim-off victory and

claimed 12th in the 200 breast (2:00.08) after qualifying with a personal best of 1:59.31, sixth in school history. “Roddy has bought into our philosophy as a team and as a program,” Geyer said. “He is trying to relay all of that to the team and get everyone on board together. He had a break through year his sophomore year.” Voelkel put together his best season last year with new personal bests in both breast-stroke events at the SEC Championships. He swam to 18th in the 100 breast with a time of 55.90 and 19th in the 200 breast with a mark of 2:03.04. Decker was one of only two freshmen to reach the ‘A’ final of the 100 breast at the SEC Championships in 2009 where he placed eighth in that event with a time of 54.44. He qualified for that race with a career-best time of 54.23, fifth-best in school history. He posted an 11th-place finish in the 200 breast at SEC’s with a mark of 1:59.64 The Veracruz, Mexico native, Jiminez owns a best 100 breast time of 54.48 and a top 200 breast time of 2:00.87. “He had a tremendous midseason meet at Arizona as a freshman,” Geyer said. “He is going to add to our breaststroke core. We’re excited to see what he can do with a full sea-son of training and a clear mindset. He seems to love everything and is appreciative of being here, which is always pleasant to have around the pool deck.” BUTTERFLY Senior Martin Jungfleish and Dassinger return as the top fly athletes on the men’s side. The Bremerhaven, Germany native, Jungflesih was LSU’s leader in the 200 but-terfly for the second straight season. He barely missed qualifying for a second swim in the 200 fly at SEC’s, finishing 17th with a personal best and program top-10 mark of 1:47.11. He also placed 20th in the 100 fly (49.07). Dassinger registered 22nd in the 200 fly at SEC’s with a personal best and program top-10 time of 1:48.73. Mericas and a quartet of newcomers in-cluding transfers Andrew Muller and Raymond DePauda along with freshmen Tyler Jusselin and Greeff will bring increased competition in the fly event. Muller, who competed the past two seasons at the University of Hawaii, earned a personal best at the Conference USA Cham-pionships (Feb. 24-27) after finishing 17th in the 200 butterfly (1:56.84). DePauda, the 2011 NJCAA national cham-pion in the 200-yard butterfly at Daytona State, clinched the National Championship in the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 1:51.42.

Greeff brings a ton of verstatily to this year’s squad. He is currently ranked third in his native South Africa in the short-course 200m butterfly and seventh in the long-course 200m fly for the 2010-11 season. He is a talent who brings with him top times of 2:03.28 (LCM) and 2:00.75 (SCM) in the 200m fly. “We’re excited to have him and that work ethic,” Geyer said. “He is already bought into our program as far as that butterfly goes. He has some personal goals that we’ve talked about. We’re looking at the 2016 Olympics for him, but he thinks that if he gets into the right environment and pushed the right way that he could compete in the 2012 Olympics. If that is his mindset coming in this year as a freshman, we’re going to see some results from that in the short course pool as far as conference and NCAAs in the butterfly.”

INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY The Tigers clear leaders in the individual medley competitions are Roddy and Kunkel. Two of them notched the second and third best times in the program last season in the 200 IM. Coltharp is the only returning athlete who posted a top-three time for the year in the 400 IM. Roddy placed 20th in the 200 IM at SEC’s with a lifetime best and program top-10 mark of 1:49.33. Kunkel, primarily a backstroker, made strides his sophomore year in the 200 IM as well. He touched the wall in third in the 200 IM in a win over American. Coltharp competed at the SEC Champion-ships as an exhibition swimmer and recorded a season best of 3:59.54 in the 400 IM. He captured third place honors in the 400 IM at the Cougar Classic. Decker, Greeff, Jiminez and freshman Tyler Jusselin will also contribute in the IM. events.

RELAYS One of the important components of last year’s team was the strength of the relay teams. After the departure of the majority of the members of the relay team, the Tigers will work all season to mix and match to find the right group of athletes. The only certainty surrounding the relays is that Tuomola will be a part of at least four relay teams. The question lies in what position of the relay will Tuomola swim in. “He is going to be a key player on four of our relays,” Geyer said. “He’ll contribute in both medleys, probably anchoring them depending on what Sean Roddy does with breaststroke, and in freestyle relays as a potential leadoff depending on his flat start 50 and 100 freestyle. Roddy, Saco and Hamilton return as the

three other swimmers who have relay experi-ence from last season under their belts. Roddy swam the second leg of the 400 medley relay team at the SEC Championships. Saco competed in the final leg of the 200 free relay that posted a top time of 1:19.11 for the year at the Bulldog Invite. Hamilton participated in the second leg of the 800 free relay team at the SEC Championships.

DIVING Arguably one of the most talented group of divers in program history will look to take the next step and send multiple athletes to the SEC Championships and the NCAA Championships. Vieke, recognized as the top men’s scholar-athlete in all of LSU Athletics and named the Tiger Athletic Foundation Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year, also registered career-high scores in all three events and proved to be LSU’s top performer at the NCAA Zone ‘D’ Diving Regional. He Earned the first alternate position to the NCAA Championships with a sixth-place finish in the one-meter (661.40) at Zone’s, recorded 10th in the three-meter with a combined score of 657.20 and tallied 315.30 points in the one-meter to claim 11th at SEC’s while placing 22nd and 24th in the three-meter and platform, respectively. He delivered the third-highest score in school history in the three-meter, 388.20, to capture runner-up honors at Texas A&M. “I really believe Vieke through out his career has been on the cusp of breaking through,” Shaffer said. “I think he is set up, with what he has done this summer and last year. The fact that he is healthy for a lot of these things he is has been yearning for to fall into place. Matt should final at SEC Championships. I am confident that this is the year that Matt will qualify and score at NCAA Championships.” Helm proved to be the Tigers’ top fresh-man performer and one of the top newcomers in the conference. He was a member of the SEC All-Freshmen Team and twice named SEC Diver of the Week. He recorded fifth in the three-meter competition at SEC’s with a career high of 380.70, which was fourth in school history, delivered 11th in the platform (291.00) and placed 17th in the one-meter (279.25). The Beaverton, Oregon native posted an eighth-place finish in the platform at the NCAA Zone ‘D’ Regional with a combined score of 571.00, tallied a two-round total of 618.50 to claim 10th in the one-meter and finished 12th in the three-meter (652.35). “Through out the dual-meet season, he was a diver you could count on to come through,” Shaffer said. “I look for him to continue to develop. We all need to hone our

skills a little bit more on platform, and that comes with maturity. I feel that Helm along with Vieke are real contenders for the NCAA Championships.” McKinney will look to improve on his strong freshman season. He scored in two of three events at the SEC Championships and qualified for the NCAA Zone Diving Regional. He dove to 10th in the three-meter at SEC’s with a 332.90 score and notched 16th in the one-meter (282.25). He delivered a career-best performance (329.15) in the one-meter at Texas A&M to take third. “I’m looking for McKinney to capitalize on his development,” Shaffer said. “He narrowly missed qualifying for the finals at SEC Cham-pionships his first year. He did a real nice job with that and matured. He developed physi-cally a little more. I look for him to increase his performances at the conference level.” Lyman redshirted this past season after sustaining a leg injury. He made significant strides his freshman season while notching points for the Tigers in all three events at SEC’s. He took 15th in the platform and earned 16th in both springboard events. “Lyman recovering from knee surgery last year has made some really good progress,” Shaffer said. “I’m hoping that progress continues to move forward and we can put the injury behind us. He needs to have some consistency in his training. He is fiercely talented and athletic. Jesse will really have the opportunity to contribute to our program in the pool.” Leong also redshirted this past season and will compete for LSU for the first time this upcoming season.

The Tigers held off Alabama for the fifth spot in the men’s standings, tallying 271.5 points during the competition and posting their best finish since 2000.

• Five members of the LSU swimming and diving teams were named All-Southeastern Confer-ence performers following the conclusion of the SEC Championships, while three freshmen

earned SEC All-Freshman Team honors. Jane Trepp claimed Women’s First Team All-SEC honors, while junior Samantha Goates and sophomores Amanda Kendall, Rebecca St. Germain and Jana Ruimerman received Women’s Second Team All-SEC accolades. Cari Blalock and Tor-rey Bussey were named to the Women’s SEC All-Freshman Team, while Tiger diver Daniel Helm earned SEC All-Freshman recognition on the men’s side.

• Ten-time All-American Junior Jane Trepp wrapped up her career in an impressive fashion. She delivered the finest season for an LSU women’s swimmer in more than a decade and one of the best in school history. She emerged as the first LSU women’s swimmer to win an SEC title since 1997 and also became the only swimmer in program history to earn first-team All-America honors in all three individual races in a single season. She broke a conference record, received All-SEC First-Team honors and captured four medals at the 2011 SEC Championships.

• Amanda Kendall excelled on the international stage and was selected for the US Team at the Pan American Games following a stand out season. She emerged as one of the top underclassman swimmers in the country and SEC while earning her first career first-team All-America accolade, four honorable mention honors, four SEC medals and All-SEC Second Team recognition.

• The Lady Tigers were awarded All-Academic Team honors from the CSCAA in both the fall and spring semesters for maintaining a cumulative grade point average above 3.0 for the entire school year. The women’s squad was led in the classroom by Jane Trepp and Samantha Goates. The two athletes were named CSCAA All-Americans. On the men’s side, junior Sean Roddy was named Honorable Mention Scholar All-American.

• Ten LSU swimmers attended the ConocoPhillips US Nationals in Palo Alto, California and eight posted lifetime best in long course meter competition. Incoming freshman Alex Bet-tridge trained in Baton Rouge all summer and competed in the AT&T US Diving Champion-ships.
