TABLE OF CONTENTS • MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION* 2004-05 was the fi rst season of reinstatement of swimming at the University of Idaho.
Swimming and diving previously existed at Idaho from 1973-1985. *
WHY THE “VANDALS”?One of the most unique handles in sports,
“Vandals” has been the nickname for University of Idaho athletic teams for more than 80 years. Area sportswriters coined the name as they tried to describe the tenacity with which coach Hec Edmundson’s basketball teams played defense. It fi rst was used in 1918 strictly for the men’s basketball team and offi cially adopted for all teams in 1921.
The sports editor of the school newspaper, Lloyd “Jazz” McCarty, along with the dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Edward Maslin Hulme, made the fi nal push for the nickname to be adopted, both as a tribute to the intensity of the athletic teams and to the Norsemen of old.

One of the advantages of starting a swimming and diving program at the University of Idaho was the school’s swimming facilities received instant upgrades.
Since the program was reinstated in 2004, the university has spent nearly $2.2 million renovating the University of Idaho Swim and Dive Center.
The Center features two 25-yard pools. A four-lane shallow pool on the west end serves as an ideal warm-up pool and is used for community swimming lessons and university swimming courses.
An eight-lane all-deep water pool is directly to the side of the shallow one. The pool is all deep water and sits below the seating gallery.
The pool is the team’s primary practice and competition pool and accommodates both swimming and diving events at home meets.
In addition to the pool complex, the Vandals have a dryland training center for their divers and their locker room has been completely remodeled.
The Center’s air and water fi ltration systems received massive upgrades prior to the team’s fi rst season. The starting blocks were replaced during that renovation and in 2008, two diving boards were added to accommodate the team’s new diving program.
The locker rooms were renovated in 2009.The Vandals aren’t the only ones to enjoy the Center’s
recent upgrades.The pool accomm-odates 1,200 users a week, including
university students and employees and Moscow community members.

Mark Sowa, formerly the head coach of the swimming and diving program at Wagner University, was hired as the eighth head coach in
Vandal swimming history.
Sowa is the second swim coach since the program was reinstated in 2004 after 22 years of dormancy.
"Rob Spear has done a tremendous job revitalizing this program and revital-izing this athletic department, and I'm excited to be a part of it," Sowa said. "They're committed to excellence at the University of Idaho and I can't wait to be a part of that and lead that excellence forward."
Sowa’s coaching debut did not dissapoint. In Sowa’s fi rst year as a Vandal, the team broke 12 school records, won three meets and were ranked as high as 25th in the country among mid-major programs. They claimed seventh place in the University of Houston Cougar Classic and were named to the Scholar All America Team by the College Swimming Coaches Association of
America. In addition, swimmer Rachel Millet won three WAC Swimmer of the Week awards and diver Paige Hunt won two WAC Diver of the Week awards.
This season was not the fi rst time Sowa oversaw immediate succes at a college program. Sowa led the Wagner program to many milestones in his three seasons as the head coach. Sowa's swimmers set 23 school records, two conference records, earned 12 All-NEC honors and the program's fi rst NEC Swimmer of the Year award. Sowa also coached the program's fi rst NCAA provisional qualifi er.
"We're excited to have Mark because he understands what it takes to create the premier student-athlete experience that we're known for at Idaho," Spear said. "He has built champions and he has produced leaders, and that's what we expect out of all of our coaches. Mark has an excellent track record of doing just that."
Wagner owned a combined 15-15 overall record and went 10-4 in the Northeast Conference under Sowa, fi nishing in the top three in the NEC Championship meet all three seasons, including a second-place fi nish in 2008-09. Sowa's student-athletes excelled outside of the pool as well, as his swimmers combined for 37 NEC All-Academic honors in his three years.
Before taking over at Wagner, Sowa spent the previous 10 years building his coaching resume. From 2007-08 he was the assistant men's swim coach at Harvard University. Before that he was the coach at the Barracuda Swim Club in Nassau, Bahamas from 2005-07 where he won the Bahamas National Swimming Championship. Sowa was the assistant then interim head coach at Maryland from 2004-05 after stints as an assistant at Richmond and Brown University from 1999-2004.
Sowa graduated from The American University with his bachelor's degree in His-tory and Philosophy before earning his master's degree from Brown in American History.

Jahn is a 2003 graduate of the Air Force Academy and later earned her master's degree at the University of Tennessee. She comes to Idaho after one season at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas where she was the recruiting coordinator in addition to helping coach the Rebels to a seventh suc-
cessive Mountain West title. Prior to coaching at UNLV, she was a graduate assistant at Tennes-see. During her time at Tennessee, the Volunteers produced 23 NCAA qualifi ers, 15 NCAA All-Americans, 40 NCAA honorable mention all-Americans, and seven SEC champions.
Jahn's collegiate career at Air Force also included both swimming and playing water polo. After graduation, she served on active duty as a Medical Service Corps Offi cer. She also coached
club and masters swim teams."For lack of a better word, Ashley is awesome," head coach Mark Sowa said. "Even that doesn't quite do her justice. She is an extremely good young coach, a tireless recruiter, has a brilliant record work-ing at two very good programs, and shares our vision of where we want to move this program. "When Ashley agreed to join the Vandal family I felt as if we had just landed a top recruit. Our team just got a lot better."
Oates is a 2011 graduate of Oakland University where she not only excelled in athletics but academics.
Oates was a two-time honorable mention academic All-American and qualifi ed for zone competi-tion four times in both the 1- and 3-meter events. She also was recognized on the 2010 Summit's
League's Commissioner's List of Academic Excellence and was a 2010 Summit League Distin-guished Scholar.
She comes to Idaho from Ohio Northern University, where she served as the recruiting coordinator.
"For four years Chelsea was the face of Oakland diving," head coach Mark Sowa said. "She was a fi erce competitor and a four-time NCAA qualifi er. She is bringing that success as an athlete here to
Moscow and we couldn't be happier.
"Chelsea knows what it takes to make the jump to the national level which is what we are committed to here with Vandals diving. Her enthusiasm for the sport is contagious and I am confi dent that we just hired the perfect coach for the job."

Nancy Westernmeyer Monroe was a four-time AIAW national qualifi er for the Idaho women’s swimming and diving team from 1971-75. She was the fi rst four-time AIAW qualifi er in Idaho wom-en’s swimming history.
She specialized in the free-style and butterfl y events and left the school holding team records in both. It was the success of Monroe and her early teammates that helped put Idaho on the map in women’s swimming in the Northwest and the nation and led to Idaho serving as host to the AIAW National Meet in 1973.
She was chosen the Vandals’ Most Inspirational Swimmer for four successive seasons – 1972-75, and was the Most Outstand-ing Swimmer in 1972, 1974 and 1975.
She was in the fi rst class of female student-athletes at the University of Idaho. She earned her fi rst scholarship in 1972. The total award – $175.
The student-athletes were encouraged to compete in more than one sport so she added vol-leyball to her repertoire.

M. Duane Nellis is the University of Idaho’s 17th president.
He provides robust and engaging leadership for the University of Idaho by supporting its statewide land-grant mission of teach-ing, research and outreach. He also is guiding the institution to re-envision that mission for the 21st century by focusing on en-trepreneurialism, engagement, global connections, sustainability, diversity and interdisciplinary synergies.
Prior to and since his inauguration in October 2009, Nellis has engaged the state of Idaho to deepen the land-grant University’s presence and impact. His presidency is defi ned by that outreach, a characteristic that began when he became president and im-mediately embarked on a statewide listening tour – meeting more than 1,500 people along a 1,500-mile travel route. He is committed to maintaining and growing connections and relation-ships with stakeholders and decision-makers.
Nellis has served with distinction in various regional and national leadership positions. He is a commissioner for the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities and was appointed by Idaho Gov. C.L. ‘Butch’ Otter to serve on the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. He served as president of the Association of American Geographers, one of the largest professional geography organizations in the world. He is also past president of the National Council for Geographic Education; past president of Gamma Theta Upsilon, the International Geographic Honor Society, and he served as one of 10 members of the National Council of Colleges of Arts and Sciences Research Universities Committee.
Nellis is recognized nationally and internationally for his research utilizing satellite data and geographic information systems to analyze various dimensions of the earth’s land surface.
He is recognized for his research and teaching through numerous awards, such as receiving national honors from the Association of American Geographers in 2001, the AAG’s John Fraser Hart Award for Excellence in Research, and the Outstanding Contributions Award by the AAG’s Remote Sensing Specialty Group.
Prior to his appointment at Idaho, Nellis served as provost and se-nior vice president of Kansas State University and at West Virginia University as dean of the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences, WVU’s largest academic college.
A native of the Northwest, he met and married his wife, Ruthie, while pursuing his bachelor’s degree in earth sciences at Montana State University. He earned his master’s and doctoral degrees in geography at Oregon State University.

Rob Spear assumed the lead of the University of Idaho ath-letic department during a crucial juncture in its storied history.
The Vandals were seeking solidifi cation of their conference status and their facilities were in need of modernization. They needed a leader with vision and passion. Spear fi t the bill.
First was securing a home in the Western Athletic Confer-ence, a league that preserves historic rivalries and offers the benefi ts of a Division I association. Next was rebuilding the Vandals’ home. He was on hand to oversee the fi nal stages of the construction of the Iverson Speed and Strength Center. Next were the playing surfaces – inside and out. The Vandals now have a SprinTurf practice facility outdoors and RealGrass Pro inside the Kibbie Dome. The football, men’s and women’s basketball, and swimming locker rooms were renovated into modern, stylish facilities for the student-athletes.
Last fall, the athletic training and equipment rooms were renovated and state-of-the-art classrooms and meeting rooms came on line as part of a multi-million dollar facelift for the Kibbie Dome. Last fall, the fi rst phase of a new-look Kibbie Dome debuted when the plywood on the west end wall was replaced with translucent panels. When the Vandals kickoff in 2011, not only will the east wall match the west but there will be a new club area with suites, loge boxes and a clubroom as well as premium seating and a new press box.
Facilities are but one area where Spear has moved the department forward. He added to the support services staff to enhance the student-athlete experience. Computer labs and academic support staff are cornerstones of a successful department and the additions and upgrades in those areas are paying dividends. In the fall of 2007, the Idaho Athletics Hall of Fame was established with 100 individuals and fi ve teams being inducted over a two-year period as part of the inaugural class.
His involvement isn’t limited to the Idaho campus. He began a second term with the NCAA’s ‘Legislative Council – one of two top-tier governing bodies in the organization.
“I am honored and excited to represent the Western Athletic Conference on this governing board,” Spear said at the time of his appointment. “It is a tremendous opportunity to make an impact on future NCAA legislation to ensure we con-tinue to provide the best possible service to the student-athlete.”
Spear’s ties with athletics are life-long. He was a standout high school athlete in his native Butte, Mont., before mov-ing on to letter four times at the University of Great Falls. Next was a two-year professional basketball career with the Montana Golden Nuggets, at the time coached by George Karl.
He earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Great Falls in 1980 and his MBA from the University of Mon-tana in 1983. He accepted a position as an internal auditor with the University of Idaho in 1989. While working at Idaho, he also pursued his doctorate in education, which he completed in 1993.
Prior to his appointment as director of athletics in 2003, Spear was the interim assistant fi nancial vice president. He also spent time at Idaho as the Assistant Vice President for Outreach in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and in grants contracts.
He and his wife, Sandy, have one daughter, Morgan – a junior at Idaho.

THE
A LEGACY OF LEADING
The University of Idaho opened its doors on Oct. 3, 1892, when it welcomed about 40 students and one professor, John Edwin Ostrander.
On June 11, 1896, the university graduated its fi rst class when four students marched across a stage to receive their diplomas. Two years later, the university awarded its fi rst graduate degree. By 1899, a growing body of University of Idaho alumni formed the Idaho Alumni Association.
Alumni numbers weren’t all that grew in those early days. Over the next few years, the University of Idaho established its College of Agriculture, dedicated Riden-baugh Hall and established the Pacifi c Northwest’s fi rst Department of Domestic Science (later to be called Home Economics).
The Administration Building fi re in 1906 was a turn-ing point in the university’s history. John Tourtellotte, a Boise architect who had designed the state’s capitol,
designed a new Tudor Goth-ic structure to symbolize the university’s growth and ma-turity as a major institution of higher education.
The Administration Build-ing remains the centerpiece of campus.

Park, led to the small-town New England look of the campus.
President Theodore Roosevelt was the fi rst U.S. president to visit the campus in 1911. He planted the fi rst tree in Presidential Grove.
Through the next 50 years, the campus continued to grow in size and academic offer-ings. Among the additions were Forney Hall, the School of Education, Science Hall, Hays Hall, the Music Building, the Library, the Student Union and outreach campus loca-tions.
In 1976 the new ASUI-Kibbie Dome won a national en-gineering structural achievement award. Its sound struc-ture has withstood roaring cheers of Vandal fans (as well as the groans and wailings of rival teams) ever since.
Today, the university is home to nearly 12,000 students and nearly 1,300 faculty and staff. It continues to be a leading place of learning in Idaho and the West, because although it is ever-responsive to the changing needs of its students and society, it never forgets its roots and traditions.
Perhaps no better example of this distinct combination of rich history and innovative ser-vice is the Associated Students of the University of Idaho (ASUI). Today as vibrant as ever, ASUI has been a force on campus for more than 100 years.

Moscow is the perfect ex-ample of the old adage: Don’t judge a book by its cover.
Small though it may be, Moscow has plenty to offer.
More than 130 years after it was settled, Moscow is a small yet vibrant community with a penchant for the arts and the University of Idaho.
Every year people come from around the world to take part in events such as the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival or the Re-naissance Fair. So much so, the city was named one of the top 100 small art towns in America.
The city’s 22,000 residents are a bright and diverse group of people. The city offers many of the advantages of a big city while retaining its small town friendliness. Crime in Moscow is almost non-existent.
For entertainment, choices abound whether they be indoor or out.
MOSCOW IS:• One of the top 100 Small Arts Towns• Host of the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival• Largest of the 27 Moscows in the United States• A U.S. Small Arts Center• A “Gem Community”

Outdoor lovers might be-lieve they’ve landed in para-dise. Since Moscow is nestled between the rolling hills of the Palouse on one side and Moscow Mountain on the other, opportunities abound
for outdoor entertain-ment. Camping, skiing, snowmobiling, hunting and fi shing locales can all be found within a few short miles from town.
If you’re the sort who prefers more urban forms of entertainment Mos-cow offers a broad as-sortment of activities typical of a small town infl uenced largely by its
resident university. Add to those, a variety of theatrical presentations and concerts on the Idaho campus, and just about every choice of entertainment can be found.
At 2,500 feet above sea level, Moscow has a mild climate despite it being located in the northern United States. Tem-peratures rarely drop below 24 degrees during the winter and the summer months won’t get much hotter than 87 degrees for a pleasant year-round climate. d und climate. egrees for a pleasant yeade ar-roundindooror or out.

Idaho was settled during the gold rush of the 1800s. Veins of silver and gold were found in the mountains of central Idaho and it wasn’t long before thousands of pioneers had settled all over the territory in an attempt to get rich. As the pioneers mined for gold, they happened upon a pleasant sur-prise. In addition to the silver and gold, Idaho was abundant in gems such as topaz and jade. Hence Idaho’s nickname: the Gem State. Idaho is one of the most scenic states in the nation. It holds claim to numerous world famous sites. Here are just a few of the many wonders Idaho offers.
• Hells Canyon, the deepest river gorge in the U.S. – 8,000 feet deep at some points. • Shoshone Falls (36 feet taller than Niagara falls)
• Soda Springs (largest man-made geyser)• The Sawtooth Mountains in central Idaho
• The world famous Lava Hot Springs• The “Craters of the Moon” in south-central Idaho
• Sun Valley Resort, where the movie stars play• Coeur d’Alene, playground of the Pacifi c Northwest• Bruneau Dunes, the largest sand dunes in North AmericaGeographically, Idaho is one of the most diverse in the country. From the rolling
deserts of southern Idaho and the forested mountains of central Idaho to the roll-ing plains of the Palouse, this state has it all. If you’re into river rafting, Idaho has
the Salmon River, nicknamed “The River of No Return.” If you like water sports, Idaho has more than 2,000 lakes with names, and many more without. One of the most famous is Pend Oreille, which is more than 1,100 feet deep in some parts. The Navy has tested some of its submarines at Lake Pend Oreille.
Idaho is an outdoorsman’s dream come true. The state offers thousands of miles of trails for backpackers. Hunting and fi shing
locales are abundant all over the state. Idaho is home to part of the famous Lewis and Clark Trail. You can learn fi rst-hand how the expedition was saved from cer-tain starvation by the Nez Perce Indian tribe. Idaho is the 13th largest state in the nation, but is sparsely popu-lated with 1.3 million residents. The benefi t of this is low crime rates and a healthy lifestyle. Last but certainly not least, Idaho indeed does have great pota-toes. In 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission was formed. The state-run agency’s responsibilities include researching and expand-ing the Idaho potato market.

Head Athletic Trainer Barrie Steele
MISSION STATEMENTThe University of Idaho’s commitment to its student-athletes can be seen in the con-
tinuing enhancement and growth of its athletic training, and strength and conditioning services. With the number one goal being prevention, Idaho athlete services provides not only strength and conditioning, and preventative athletic training measures, but coordinates with sports nutritionists and sports psychologists for the overall well-being of Vandal student-athletes.
“We approach our jobs fi rst from a prevention standpoint,” head athletic trainer Bar-rie Steele said. “But, injuries do occur in athletics and when they do we make sure our student-athletes receive the fi nest in immediate and follow-up care. When they return to competition, our goal is to have them in better condition than before the injury and with a reduced chance of re-injury.”
