Rutgers swimming and diving ushered in a new era on July 7, 2010 as Phil Spiniello was named the seventh head coach of the 95-year-old program. Spini-ello is now in his third year coaching the squad, and has made impressive strides with the Scarlet Knight program.

In Spiniello’s first season at the helm, he coached the squad to be recognized as No. 1 in the nation in improvement on the week of Jan. 26, according to collegeswimming.com.

In Spiniello’s second year with the program, the 2011-12 Scarlet Knights finished the season at 9-2 overall, and with a perfect 4-0 record in the BIG EAST.

Spiniello spent the four seasons prior to Rutgers as an assistant women’s swimming coach at Princeton University, helping the Tigers to four Top 25 finishes at the NCAA Championships.

“I am extremely excited and honored to be the next swimming and diving head coach at Rutgers University,” said Spiniello at the time of his hire. “It’s humbling to be afforded this opportunity with such an out-standing athletic department and University. I can’t wait to get started.”

Spiniello was instrumental in helping Princeton, which entered 2010-11 on a 30-meet win streak, to unprecedented success in recent years. In his four seasons alongside head coach Susan Teeter, Princeton finished in the Top 25 each year at NCAAs, captured three Ivy League Championships, was nationally-ranked annually and earned All-America honors in numerous individual events, as well as the 2008 800-free relay.

In addition to his work poolside, Spiniello served as recruiting coordina-tor and brought in the nation’s 14th-ranked recruiting class in 2008, according to CollegeSwimming.com.

Princeton ended its 2010 campaign ranked atop the CollegeSwim-ming.com/CSCAA Mid-Major Rankings and finished 18th at the NCAA Championship meet for a second-consecutive season. The Tigers cap-tured the Ivy League Championship for the third time in four years with Spiniello on staff, also winning league crowns in 2008 and 2007.

All-America honors were in frequent supply with Spiniello on the deck, as Alicia Aemisegger earned accolades 13 times from 2007-10.

During his tenure, Spiniello also directed the Princeton University Sum-mer Swim Camp and served as head coach and director of the Tiger Aquatic Club.

Spiniello began his collegiate coaching career at Arizona State Univer-sity, first as a graduate assistant coach (2003-04), before serving as an assistant coach for the men’s and women’s swimming teams from 2004 to 2006.

With the Sun Devils, his responsibilities included on-deck coaching of all athletes, recruiting and coordinating team travel.

ASU’s men and women both had strong seasons in 2005 and 2006

with Spiniello’s assistance. The women’s team placed 12th at NCAAs in 2005 and 29th in 2006. The men’s side placed 20th at NCAAs in 2005 and 14th in 2006.

A former collegiate swimmer, Spiniello was a four-year varsity let-terwinner and two-time team captain at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa., from 1999-2003. He earned All-Centennial Confer-ence honors and received the George McGinness Award for Outstand-ing Leadership as a senior. The Boston, Mass., native arrived in the Keystone State after attending Boston College High School, where he captured Boston Globe All-Scholastic accolades while helping the Eagles to three consecutive state swimming championships.

Spiniello earned a Bachelor of Arts in history from Franklin and Mar-shall in 2003 before receiving a Master’s of Science in recreation management from Arizona State in 2006.

Spiniello and his wife Trina currently resides in Piscataway, N.J.

what they are Saying about PHil SPiniello...Tim Pernetti - Rutgers University Director of Intercollegiate Athletics “We are thrilled to welcome Phil to the Rutgers family. He has proven to be one of the top young coaches in women’s swimming and diving and will no doubt drive this program on a path of excellence for our student-athletes and our University.”

Susan Teeter - Princeton University Head Coach“Phil has been an amazing assistant, as well as a cherished member of the Princeton swim-ming and diving family. While we will miss his presence, coaching talent and professionalism, we know he has grown to be head coach material. Rutgers is truly lucky to have him to lead their program.”

Katie Robinson - Rutgers Assistant Swimming Coach“Phil is an exceptional coach, and I have already learned so much from him during my first summer at Rutgers. The passion he has for the sport and the way he empowers the women on the team is astonishing and something I aspire to do myself as a coach. I am blessed and thrilled to be a part of this talented coaching staff and am very much looking forward to the years ahead in coaching this team.”

Fred Woodruff, the 2008 BIG EAST Women’s Diving Coach of the Year, begins his 19th year at the helm of the Scarlet Knight divers. In the 2010-11 season, Woodruff guided Jen Betz to an NCAA Championship berth after placing second in the Zone A Diving Champion-ship.

In 2009-10, Woodruff led Erin Saunders to broken school records in both the

one- and three-meter dives.

In 2008, Woodruff guided Saunders to an individual diving title on the one-meter board at the BIG EAST Championships en route to being named the league’s top diving coach.

A former diver and coach at Lehigh University, Woodruff has been coaching YMCA and USD age-group diving for 27 years. In 1983, Woodruff formed the Lords of the Boards Diving Team at the Som-erset Valley YMCA in Bridgewater, NJ. By the summer of 1985, his divers were competing on the national level. He has produced 114 YMCA All-Americans, including six national champions. His LOB divers have made their mark on the Junior Olympic level as well, with 25 Region I champions, four zone champions and 25 Junior National qualifiers, including six finalists. He earned Region I Coach of the Year honors in 1988 and 1989. He served as Junior Olympic Chairman of the New Jersey Associa-tion of U.S.A. Diving for seven years and as Region I Chairman from 1997 until 1999. He is currently serving as treasurer of the New Jersey Association. In 1991, Woodruff was named the diving coach at Seton Hall Univer-sity. That season, SHU had its first consolation finalist in diving at the BIG EAST Championships. The following year, he produced SHU’s first finalist in one-meter, three-meter, and platform, and qualified two div-ers for the NCAA Zone Championships. Woodruff joined the Scarlet Knight coaching staff in the fall of 1993. In his first season, he had two diving finalists at the 1994 Atlantic-10 Championships. A year later, RU divers dominated the 1995 A-10 Championships, earning both the men’s and women’s A-10 Diver of the Year awards. Following the A-10 Championships, his male A-10 Diver of the Year earned the same award at the ECAC Championships. Woodruff was named the 1995 ECAC Coach of the Year. Since its entrance into the BIG EAST Conference in1995, Rutgers has had 30 finalists and 22 consolation finalists on one-meter, three-meter, and platform at the BIG EAST Championships. Each season, Woodruff has qualified divers for the NCAA Zone Cham-pionships. At the 1996 Zones, former RU record-holder Carrieann Eberhardt captured fourth place on the three-meter, qualifying her as the Zone A alternate to the NCAA Championships.

katie RoBinSonaSSiStant coacH Katie Robinson is now in her second season with Rutgers Swimming and Diving. Robinson arrived “On the Banks” after serving in the same capacity at the University of Virginia.

Robinson was an 11-time All-American for the University of Texas from 2004-07, claiming the 100 yard butterfly title three times at the Big XII Championship. The Dillsboro, Ind. native set the confer-

ence record in the event as a senior. Serving as the team captain from 2006-07, Robinson also earned a spot at the NCAA Championship every year she was a Longhorn, helping Texas to four top-10 finishes, including sixth-place finishes in both 2005 and 2007.

In 2004, Robinson reached the semifinals in the 100 butterfly at the Olympic Trials. She later competed in the 2008 Olympic Trials and placed 22nd after only three months of training, having taken a year off swimming prior to the competition.

Robinson excelled academically for Texas as well, earning the Doc Neu-haus Endowed Presidential Scholarship after being named an ESPN Academic All-American Second Team honoree. A NCAA Female Ath-lete of the Year nominee for the Big XII Conference in 2007, Robinson was a four-time First Team Academic All-Big XII selection.

With the Cavaliers since 2008, Robinson was responsible for training and recruiting men and women swimmers to the program. She also managed travel arrangements, created a budget, coached dryland activities and served as meet director for UVA.

Prior to Virginia, Robinson worked as a graduate assistant coach with the University of Pacific men’s and women’s swimming teams. Robin-son also has experience at the club level, serving as a coach for the Weiss and Weiss Aquatics Club and also at the Longhorn swim camp.

Rutgers swimming and diving concluded its 2011-2012 season with an eighth place finish at the BIG EAST Championships under second year head coach Phil Spiniello. The squad finished 9-2 on the season with a perfect 4-0 record in the BIG EAST.

To start out the preseason in 2011 Rutgers hosted its annual intraquad meet and the Sunny Werblin Invitational. At the SWRC Invite Rutgers took 16 first place finishes, including all four of the relay events. Senior Jacquelyn Ward (Berlin, N.J.) took first place in three individual races. On the diving side, junior Katie Kearney took first in the one meter dive, while freshman Nicole Honey (New Hyde Park, N.Y.) placed first in the three meter dive.

The Scarlet Knights kicked off conference action, sweeping Villanova, Georgetown, and Connecticut at the Big East Quad meet on October 29, 2011. Patrisha Averill (Renton, Wash.) took first place on day one in the 200 breast and the 400 IM. She continued her success on day two with three more top finishes. Brianne Lindblad (Kent, Wash.) grabbed first place in backstroke while her two teammates followed in second and third.

Rutgers next hit the water to continue their undefeated streak against the Wagner squad. The Scarlet Knights had nine different members of the team record a first-place finish on the night.

RU continued its run in the early part of the season with a pair of vic-tories over TCU (197-155) and Seton Hall (278-74). RU handed TCU its first loss of the season and the Knights fourth BIG EAST win of the season. At this event the team kicked off the meet by winning the 200 medley relay. This crew comprised of Brianne Lindblad, Patrisha Aver-ill, Taylor Curado (Highlands, Colo.), and Mary Moser (Wyomissing, PA).

The Rutgers diving team hosted the Galbraith Invite, coming in with second and third place finishes in the women’s one-meter board and first and second place finished in the three-meter event.

For the lone meet of December, RU headed down the road to take a second place finish at the Big Al Open in Princeton, N.J. The Scarlet Knights racked up 638 points trailing only to the host squad Princ-eton (1103.5). Patrisha Averill set a new school record in the 200 breaststroke, taking a second place time of 2:15.23. RU dominated the platform event, taking the top-three spots.

Rutgers took a month and a half off of competition but upon opening the second half of the season, the Scarlet Knights came back domi-nating with a 155-83 win over Bucknell. Rutgers touched the wall

first in 10 of the 11 races and swept both the one- and three-meter diving events.

Mid-January, RU took a weekend trip to face two tough Virginia teams. The squad first traveled to Harrisonburg, Va., where they were handed their first loss of the season by James Madison, 161-139. Rutgers placed first in eight of 16 events, including three top-finishes by Trisha Averill (Renton, Wash.). In next-day action against Richmond the Scarlet Knights dropped a close meet 163-135. Despite finishing in the first-three spots on the one-meter event and taking three of the top-four spots in the three-meter event, RU couldn’t rebound from the day-before loss.

For one final meet at home, Rutgers hosted a tri-meet against Ford-ham and Rider in late January. Rutgers swimming and diving capped off its regular season, bouncing back from previous-weekend losses with a pair of victories against Fordham, 180-120, and Rider, 221-74, on Senior Day at the RU Aquatics Center. The Scarlet Knights jumped out to a fast start in the meet and never let up, concluding the year with a 9-2 overall mark- the most wins for the program since the 2000-01 season.

After day one at the BIG EAST Championships the RU squad sat in fourth, but eventually slipped to eighth where they would eventually end the meet. Four divers represented RU at the NCAA Zone A Champion-ships, where Nicole Scott finished on the podium with a silver.

Several current and former Rutgers University women’s swimmers have had the chance to represent their country throughout the program’s history. Most recently, Rutgers newcomer Joanna Wu qualified in the 100 backstroke for the 2012 Olympic Trials. Addi-tionally, current Rutgers standout Taylor Zafir, as well as graduat-ed Scarlet Knights Catherine Whetstone, Shayna Longacre, Kasey Kesses, Kelly Harrigan, Megan Caylor, Brianne Lindblad and Sarah Bicknell battled for spots on the U.S. squad for the 2008 Olympics in Omaha, Neb.

Rutgers international success dates back to 1972, as the first-ever Rutgers female swimmer competed in the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. Below represents a timeline of Scarlet Knights in red, white, and blue.

Judy Mellick (‘72 Olympic Games) The first ever female swimmer at Rutgers University, Mel-lick competed in the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, placing fifth in the 100 meter breaststroke (1:16.34) and also racing on Team USA’s gold medal 400 medley relay (4:20.75). At Rutgers, Mellick helped pioneer a successful women’s swimming program, contributing to three consecutive undefeated seasons and earning All-Amerian honors before graduating in 1977. Seventeen years later in 1994, she was among those in the first class inducted into the Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame.

Ellen Wallace (‘75 Pan American Games, World Championships) Wallace was a member of the U.S. Pan American Team that traveled to Mexico City, Mexico in 1975. At the games, she finaled in the 200 meter freestyle and 200 meter backstroke. Lat-er that year, Wallace placed fourth in 200 backstroke (2:20.42) at World Championships in Cali, Colombia, and the following year, she just missed making the 1976 Olympic Team with a fourth place finish in the 200 backstroke at Olympic Trials. During her campaign “On the Banks,” Wallace was one of the charter members of women’s swimming at the university. She played a crucial role in Rutgers’ breakout dominance of the Eastern Conference, gaining All-American recognition in the pro-cess. Wallace was inducted into the Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame in 1996.

Michelle DeFreese (‘04 FINA World Cup) DeFreese walked on to the Rutgers squad after swim-ming for a year at Montclair State University. Before she gradu-ated, she claimed multiple BIG EAST titles as well as setting the Rutgers and BIG EAST records in the 100 yard butterfly (53.32) and in numerous relays. DeFreese qualified for the NCAA Champi-onships twice, and was voted Most Inspirational by her teammates in two-consecutive years. Post graduation, DeFreese represented the Scarlet Knights at the 2004 Olympic Trials, finishing 10th in the 100 me-ter butterfly (1:01.18). Later in 2004, she topped off her competi-tive swimming career with a strong showing at the FINA World Cup in Daejon, Korea. She garnered a silver medal in the 50 meter butterfly (27.41) and a bronze in the 100 meter butterfly (1:00.70).

Kelly Harrigan (‘07 World University Games) A highly decorated swimmer at both the conference and national levels, Harrigan was crowned a BIG EAST Champion 19 times—leaving multiple broken BIG EAST and school records in her wake—as well as qualifying for the NCAA Championships four times and competing at Olympic Trials in 2000, 2004 and 2008. She was a four-time All-American in the 100 and 200 yard backstroke, finishing as high as 3rd in the 200 (1:54.77) at the NCAA Champi-onship in 2006. A year after graduation, Harrigan earned a spot at the U.S. World University Games which took place in Bangkok, Thailand in 2007. She claimed an individual gold medal in the 200 meter backstroke (2:11.48) at the Games, and also aided fellow team-mates in snagging gold in the 800 meter freestyle relay - setting and resetting the World University Games Record in the event.

Shayna Longacre (‘07 Japan International Grand Prix) Longacre got her first taste of international competition at the 2007 Japan International Grand Prix meet, held in Chiba, Japan. She represented the U.S. in both breaststroke events, re-cording a 15th place finish in the 100 meter (1:10.28) and a 19th place finish in the 200 meter (2:34.33). At Rutgers, Longacre has garnered multiple BIG EAST titles in addition to owning school records in the 100 and 200 yard breaststroke (1:01.30, 2:15.32) and the 200 yard individual medley (2:02.09). She was named to the All-BIG EAST Third Team as a senior in 2010. She competed in the 2008 NCAA Championships, earn-ing honorable mention All-American honors with a 15th place finish in the 100 yard breaststroke. She also represented Rutgers at the 2008 Olympic Trials.

Catherine Whetstone (‘07 Japan International Grand Prix) Whetstone earned a spot on the U.S. team that traveled to Chiba, Japan for the Japan International Grand Prix meet in 2007. She raced the 100 meter butterfly (1:00.60), finishing in the 21st place slot. Whetstone added many impressive academic and athletic accomplishments to her resume during her Rutgers campaign. In-dividually, she has collected BIG EAST gold medals in the 100 yard butterfly and backstroke events—setting the BIG EAST and school records in both (53.27 and 53.11). She is a two-time NCAA Championships qualifier with honorable mention All-American hon-ors in the 100 yard butterfly. Whetstone earned All-BIG EAST Sec-ond Team honors as a senior in 2010. She was among those competing for Rutgers in the 2008 Olympic Trials. Outside of the sports arena, Whetstone has been hon-ored with the Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Award and named Rutgers Woman of the Year after, among many other things, compiling a 3.918 GPA in the Rutgers School of Business.

In its 94-year history, the Rutgers Swimming and Diving program has been under the direction of just seven head coaches - James H. Reilly (1916-1957), Otto H. Hill (1957-1961), Frank W. Elm (1961-1993), Elizabeth Blau (1993-1996), Rick Simpson (1996-1997), Chuck Warner (1997-2010) and now Phil Spiniello (2010-present). Rut-gers Swimming has enjoyed a proud history of success, achievement and one of the finest sports traditions “on the Banks.” Compiled after researching years of Scarlet year-books and Targums, this history is only a limited glimpse into the 94-year old tradition and recognizes only a very few of the hundreds of athletes who trained, competed and contrib-uted to the fine tradition of Rutgers Swimming.

1916-1930 Rutgers Swimming began in 1915 upon the comple-tion of the Ballantine Gym with a $30,000 donation by Mrs. Ballantine for a pool addition. The pool was dedicated March 10, 1915 with a “gala” meet starring National Champion, world record holder and two-time Olympian (1908 and 1912) James Reilly (1997 Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame Inductee). Reilly was promptly hired as the “swim instructor” and four decades of excellence began. Reilly also presided over the new Eastern Collegiate Swimming Associa-tion from 1920 until 1927, with Rutgers compiling a record of 48 wins and only nine losses. Leo Geibel (‘23), also an AAU Champion, won the 220 free in the National Intercolle-giates and set intercollegiate records in the 150 backstroke and 440 free. George Kojac (‘31) continued his national and world record-setting performances on campus and off. He represented the U.S. in the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam, winning gold medals in the 100 backstroke and 800 free relay. He won the 100 free title at the 1931 NCAAs and combined with Bill Marquette (‘30) and John Dryfuss (‘32) for a world record in the 300 medley relay.

1930-1961 The Ballantine Gym was destroyed by a fire in the early morning of Jan. 30, 1930, necessitating construction of a new facility. “Borrowed” sites such as the New Bruns-wick YMCA and Princeton University were used for swim-ming until the College Avenue Gym opened on March 11, 1932, with a huge “Aquatic Carnival.” In the 1930s, Walter Spence (‘34), a 1997 Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame inductee, began his career “on the Banks.” Spence was an AAU Champion and a Canadian Olympian. He won the 100 free in three consecutive NCAA Championships and combined with Walt Ashley (‘35), Ted Brick (‘34) and Norm Kramer (‘33), for a winning freestyle relay in the 1933 NCAAs. The 1930-33 teams boasted an overall record of 21-4. Later, Rutgers hosted the 1938 NCAA Championships at the “state of the art” College Av-enue facility.

From 1940-42 the Scarlet Knights registered a 22-6 record. The teams were led by AAU champ, Chuck Gantner (‘44), who used the “new” breaststroke technique that eventually became the butterfly in 1954. Gantner was an Eastern Champion, National Champion and one-time world record holder. 1946-1956 saw continued successes with the teams recording an overall record of 64 wins against only nine losses. All-American Bob Nugent (‘52), a 1997 Olympic Sports Hall of Fame inductee, epitomized the era. Earning First Team All-American honors in ‘49, ‘50 and ‘51, Nugent was 1948 Eastern Champion in the 100 free, and an NCAA finalist in both 1950 and 1951. Reilly left Rutgers with an en-viable record of 240 wins and 92 losses. His teams recorded five undefeated seasons, and twelve seasons of only one loss, an overall .722 percentage. He was a recognized leader in the sport, having coached Olympians and world record holders during his long tenure at Rutgers. Riley was recently inducted into the Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame. Head coach Otto Hill, led the Rutgers men from 1957-1961.

1961-1991 Frank Elm was appointed head coach in 1961 after Otto Hill was promoted to Athletic Business Administra-tor. Elm came to Rutgers as a successful AAU Coach, New Jersey Interscholastic Champion, All-American from Indiana University and swimmer-coach in the Marine Corps. From 1961-72 the Scarlet Knights enjoyed 11-straight winning seasons, with an overall 79-42 record. The creation of the Eastern Seaboard Championships in 1965 brought the Scarlet Knights to a new level. Swimmers Bill Clark (‘63), Larry Jones and John Wasylyk (64), Don Galluzzi and Marty Flickenger (‘65), and diver Roy Nichols (‘64) (Eastern Cham-pion and NCAA top-eight finisher) were the top performers. In 1968, Rutgers was fourth in the prestigious Easterns with

Frank Elm and Judy Melick, the first Rutgers Female Swimmer.

top six performances by Bob Chenaux (‘66), in the 1650, Dave Feigley (‘66) in diving, sprinters and All-Americans Bruce Ball (‘67) and Dick Woodrow (‘66) and Peter Hib-bard (‘67), Eastern Champion in diving. Rutgers’ success in the Easterns continued with John Hannan (‘68) scoring in the 1650, 500, and 200 fly while Jim Rose (‘67), Elliot Cheneaux (‘68), Jim Parkinson (‘70), Jose Ferraioli (‘69), Dave Helming (‘71) and divers Peter Leitner (‘70) and Ted Doeing (‘72) contributed to the team’s efforts. Ferraioli, and the Cheneaux brothers represented native Puerto Rico in Olympic competition. Gregg Anderson ‘70 (Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame Inductee) was the leading point-scorer for the Scarlet Knights in the late 60s. He was named All-American in both 1968 and 1969 in the 200 backstroke and won three Eastern Championships while qualifying to compete in the NCAA’s. The 70’s are best known for the inclusion of women in the RU program. Olympian Judy Mellick (‘77), became the first female member of the Rutgers team and the first wom-an to compete with men. Mellick was among the pioneers as newly-coed RU embarked on a successful women’s athletic program. In recognition of her contributions, Mellick was inducted into the first class of the Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame. Rutgers women’s swimming exploded on the scene with three consecutive undefeated seasons, 1975-1977, and a dominance of Eastern Championships. The RU women were the only Eastern team to place in the top ten at the 1977 Nationals. Fifteen swimmers earned All-American recognition. Judy Mellick, Ellen Wallace, Debbie Franks, Maureen Mortell and Robin Locklair were among leaders, champions and stars of their era. Wallace later repre-sented the U.S. at the Pan-Am Championships and has been inducted into the Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame. A 1997 inductee into the Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame is Tiny Condrillo Randazzo who was a consistent scorer in

Eastern Championships, top six finisher in Nationals and two time All-American. In the 70’s Elm had a 70-20 win/loss record with the women’s program. Frank Elm best described the 80’s when he retired in 1993. In an interview he said, “There have been so many highs and lows over the years. The lows were not winning too much, especially during the 80’s when basically we had no scholarship help and our pool was antiquated. We couldn’t attract anybody, so it was really difficult to hang in there and keep going,” (Star Ledger, April 30, 1993). But the Scarlet Knights did keep going and continued with a proud and com-petitive decade. The 80’s saw mostly .500 seasons for both men and women, but the teams were spirited and competi-tive. The 1987-88 season saw five school records broken. James McGuckin received the unprecedented awarding of both the James H. Reilly trophy and August Heintzmann awards. Swimmers Ron Farina, Peter Loftus and Ted Zly-daszek combined to lead the men to an 8-2 record and set eight school records in 1989. Long-awaited news that a new facility would actually be built aided Coach Elm in recruiting. Elm recruits Jeff Farschon, Larry Page, and Tim Berlin led the Scarlet Knights’ rebuilding efforts. Atlantic 10 Cham-pions and school record holders Farschon and Page were named Swimmers of the Year in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Elm retired after 31 years at the helm of Rutgers swimming. He led the efforts to construct the “state of the art” swimming facility which is part of the Sonny Werblin Recreation Center on the Busch Campus. The facility, located just west of the football stadium, was completed in 1991. Elm enjoyed two seasons in the swimmers’ new home before retiring.

1993 to present Elizabeth Blau, an Elm assistant, became the head coach in 1993 and led the team in its transition from the Atlantic 10 Conference to the tougher and faster BIG EAST. Scarlet Knight swimmers in 1994 went 7-2 in men’s com-petition, and 4-5 in women’s contests. Nine school records

fell that season. Diving coach Fred Woodruff was named Atlantic 10 Diving Coach of the Year in 1995. Interim Coach Rick Simpson led the 1996-97 Scar-let swimmers as Rutgers hosted the BIG EAST Champion-ships at the Werblin Center. The season was highlighted by a first-ever victory over Army. In 1997, California transplant and well-known coach Chuck Warner took over the building process at Rutgers. Warner began the process of re-building a championship program and continuing the storied success of Rutgers swimming. In 1998-99, the men’s team jumped from 10th to fifth at the BIG EAST Championships and in 1999-2000, the women vaulted from ninth to second at the conference championships, the most dramatic leap of any team in the BIG EAST. For his efforts, Warner was named BIG EAST Women’s Coach of the Year, following a season that saw his women’s squad finish with a 7-2 overall mark and shat-ter 20 school swimming and diving records. This feat, along with the 6-3 mark posted by the men’s squad, which finshed third in the conference, served as tangible proof that Rutgers swimming was on the rise on a conference and national level. In 2002-03 the women’s team finished third in the conference, and broke all but two school records. The women’s team also saw its first ever qualifier for the NCAA Championship meet in Erin McIntyre. Erin made the “A cut” in the 1650 freestyle, and also qualified for the 400IM and 500 freestyle. A year later, the women jumped to second in the conference and Warner was once again named BIG EAST Coach of the Year. The 2004-05 season was highlighted by the re-markable individual accomplishments of All-American Kelly Harrigan and senior Sean Smith, who both came away with BIG EAST Most Outstanding Performer honors a the confer-ence championship meet. Both the men’s and women’s squads finished in third place, behind only Notre Dame and Pittsburgh, and are poised to remain at the top of the con-ference standings for years to come. The 2005-06 season, arguably one of the most successful under Coach Warner, was highlighted by the team’s second-place finish at the BIG EAST Championships and 18th-place showing at the NCAA Championships, the highest team finish in the program’s history. The Rutgers University swimming and diving team added yet another successful season to the programs storied history during the 2006-07 season. The team demonstrated the programs growing success by winning six straight dual meet competitions to end the season with a 6-1 record overall and a 3-0 mark in BIG EAST competition. The Scarlet Knights once again placed 2nd in the BIG EAST Championships and managed a 22nd place finish at the NCAA Championships. In 2008 the Scarlet Knights captured three indi-

vidual first-place finishes at the BIG EAST Championships and two swimmers advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Shayna Longacre garned Honorable Mention All-American honors with her performace at the NCAA Tournament. Additionally, numerous former, current and future Scarlet Knights com-peted at the 2008 Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb. In 2009, Catherine Whetstone earned a trip to the NCAA’s after earning the gold at the BIG EAST Championships - and setting a new meet record - in the 100 backstroke After the 2010 season, a new era was ushered in with the hiring of head coach Phil Spiniello. Spiniello saw great improvements in his squad during his first year with the Scarlet Knights. Senior Jen Betz made the trip to the NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Champion-ship at the University of Texas in Austin, following a second place finish at the Zone A Diving Championship. In Spiniello’s second year ar the helm, he led the team to its best record since 2001. The 9-2 Scarlet Knights went undefeated in the BIG EAST posting a perfect 4-0 record.

Robert L. Barchi is the 20th president of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, a position he assumed on September 1, 2012. From 2004 to 2012, Dr. Barchi served as president of Thomas Jefferson University, nationally regarded as a top university dedicated to health sciences education and research. Previously, he was provost and chief academic officer of the University of Pennsylvania, where he had responsibility for Penn’s 12 schools, their academic programs, athletics, students, and faculty.

Dr. Barchi began his academic career in 1972 on the Penn faculty. He founded the univer-sity’s Department of Neuroscience, was chair of Penn’s Department of Neurology, and for more than a decade was director of its Mahoney Institute of Neurological Sciences. Ap-pointed provost and chief academic officer in 1999, he recruited new leadership for nine of the twelve schools at Penn and established a number of university-wide interdisciplinary educational and research institutes.

Dr. Barchi assumed the presidency of Thomas Jefferson University in 2004. Under his leadership, the university grew from three to six schools, including the establishment of the Jefferson School of Pharmacy. During his eight-year presidency, enrollment across Jefferson increased more than 50%, fundraising doubled in spite of the economic down-turn, and 22 new endowed professorships and 50 endowed scholarships were estab-

lished. He also oversaw the transformation of the institution’s urban environment into a vibrant university campus.

Throughout his career, Dr. Barchi has been active as a clinical neurologist and as researcher in the fields of neuroscience and neurology. In 1993, he was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences for his work on the struc-ture and function of voltage-gated ion channels. He is also a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation and the Association of American Physicians, and is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Barchi re-ceived his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Georgetown University, and Ph.D. and M.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania.

A New Jersey native with a strong passion for his alma mater, Tim Pernetti has come full-circle in becoming one of the na-tion’s youngest leaders in college athletics. A former student-athlete “On the Banks”, Pernetti was named Rutgers’ sixth Director of Inter-collegiate Athletics on February 26, 2009. He oversees 24 men’s and women’s intercollegiate teams in New Brunswick, a larger number than fielded at most of the

university’s peer institutions. Pernetti has been influential in the world of college athletics since he received a bachelor’s degree in journalism and mass media from Rutgers in 1993, and a mas-ter’s degree in communication in 1995. Pernetti’s influence on Rutgers Athletics has been immediate – from the key coaching hires of Mike Rice (men’s basketball), Dan Donigan (men’s soccer) and Brian Brecht (men’s lacrosse) – to securing the first two naming rights partnerships in Rutgers Athletics history. Under his leadership, Rutgers inked a 10-year naming rights deal with High Point Solutions to acquire the naming rights for Rutgers Stadium, along with a 10-year contract with Audi for the Audi Rutgers Club at High Point Solutions Stadium. Both deals have net-ted the Department of Athletics nearly one million dollars in new revenue to the annual budget. Two other key objectives on Pernetti’s watch were to secure a new food vendor for Rutgers Athletics and secure an all-sports shoe and apparel deal for the department. Pernetti led the charge to bring Sodexo to Rutgers as the exclusive concessionaire and caterer for the Athletics Department. The 10-year agreement will enhance the gameday experience, significantly increase revenues to Athletics, and fund future capital improvements at High Point Solutions Stadium and the RAC. He further directed negotiations with Nike to execute the first-ever all-sports shoe and apparel deal for all 24 sports at Rutgers. The five-year agreement worth ap-proximately $5.2M in equipment and apparel will provide state-of-the-art apparel for all Rutgers student-athletes.

During his introductory press conference, Pernetti spoke about his vision to build a broadband network to deliver hundreds of live events. That promise has blossomed into RVision, powered by ScarletKnights.com, as RVision has streamed hundreds of live

events per year, including unprecedented live game coverage for many of the Scarlet Knights Olympic Sports. Prior to returning to Rutgers, Pernetti was the Executive Vice President, Content, for CBS College Sports Network. In that role, he oversaw the rights and relationship business, on-air talent, and all network programming and content on air, online and across all distribution platforms for the nation’s first company dedicated to college sports. Pernetti helped to build the CBS College Sports Network, previous-ly CSTV, prior to its launch in 2003, and has played a critical role in establishing it as the multi-media leader in college sports pro-gramming, content, news and information. He was a recipient of the prestigious Sports Business Journal Forty under Forty Award, and the Multichannel News 40 under 40 Award both in 2008. Charged with developing relationships, acquiring rights and creat-ing multi-platform original programming for the first ever 24-hour sports college sports network, Pernetti successfully navigat-edthrough a complicated web of media rights deals to come up with new ways toserve college sports fans.

Pernetti worked closely with the NCAA and hundreds of schools in every major conference, securing over 2,500 hours ofevent programming each year and multiple NCAA Championships

across 35 men’s and women’s sports. Pernetti was in charge of the CBS College Sports Network exclusive long-term agreements with the US Naval Academy, Mountain West Conference, Confer-ence USA, and the Atlantic 10. Further, he managed company relationships with more than 30 conferences and thousands of institutions. Pernetti remains most proud of establishing a strong relation-ship in women’s collegiate sports including the establishment of a women’s basketball game of the week package in 2004 with the Big East Conference. In 2006, Pernetti spearheaded a landmark multi-media part-nership with the NCAA to make CBS College Sports Network the home of Division II Sports. The innovative deal effectively increased the scope and reach of NCAA Division II sports with hundreds of games now available nationally via the broadcast network and online. Pernetti’s commitment to providing greater exposure to women’s and under-served sports is evidenced by the network’s unprece-dented coverage of lacrosse and volleyball, among others. He has also been at the forefront of the development and creation of the Collegiate Nationals, which crowns champions in dozens of high endurance sports, and innovative original production including CBS College Sports Network’s groundbreaking NCAA March Madness Central, NCAA March Madness Highlights on CBS College Sports,

and the WIRED franchise which gives viewers an inside look at games and events through wireless microphones on coaches dur-ing game action. Prior to joining CBS College Sports Network, Pernetti served eight years at ABC-TV and ABC Sports most recently as Director of Programming, where he was integral in acquiring, managing and developing several ABC Sports properties including college foot-ball, the Bowl Championship Series, and college basketball. For five years, Pernetti handled relationships and negotiated televi-sion rights with all of the major collegiate conferences. As a stu-dent at Rutgers, Pernetti was a four-year letterwinner at tight end on the Rutgers football squad. He was also the color commenta-tor for Rutgers Football on the Rutgers Football Radio Network and announced weekly NFL games nationally on Sports USA Radio. A resident of Oakland, N.J., Pernetti is married to the former Dani-elle Bahto. His wife also graduated from Rutgers and was a let-terwinner on the women’s lacrosse team. Danielle and Tim are the proud parents of their three children – Max, Conor and Natalie. In his spare time Pernetti is the Commissioner of Oakland (N.J.) Recreation Youth football program, serves on the Board of Direc-tors of the Reed Academy (a school in Oakland serving children with autistic spectrum disorder), and has been named a member of the NY/NJ Super Bowl Host Committee for Community Engagement.

a BRieF HiStoRyRutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is one of the leading universities in the nation. The university is comprised of 28 degree-granting divisions; 10 undergraduate colleges, 10 graduate schools, and eight schools offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Six are located in Camden, eight in Newark, and 13 in New Brunswick and one in Newark and New Brunswick.

Rutgers has a unique history as a colonial college, a land-grant institution, and a state university. Char-tered in 1766 as Queen’s College, the eighth institution of higher learning to be founded in the colonies, the school opened its doors in New Brunswick in 1771 with a handful of first-year students. During its early years, the college developed as a classic liberal arts institution. In 1825, the name of the college was changed to honor a former trustee and Revolutionary War veteran, Colonel Henry Rutgers.

Rutgers College became the land-grant college of New Jersey in 1864, resulting in the establishment of the Rutgers Scientific School, featuring departments of agriculture, engineering, and chemistry. Further expansion in the sciences came with the founding of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station in 1880, the College of Engineering (now the School of Engineering) in 1914, and the College of Agriculture (now the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences) in 1921. The precursors to several other Rutgers divisions were also established during this period: the College of Pharmacy (now the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy) in 1892, the New Jersey College for Women (now Douglass Residential College, part of the School of Arts and Sciences) in 1918, and the School of Education (now Graduate School of Education) in 1924.

In 1924, Rutgers College officially became Rutgers University; a reflection of the institution’s rapidly expanding number of schools and academic pro-grams. Early in the century, Rutgers had begun offering educational opportunities to women when the New Jersey College for Women was founded in 1918, and to adult learners when University College, an evening division, was established in 1934. After World War II, enrollment exploded as Rutgers admitted all qualified candidates under the GI Bill. Rutgers was becoming an institution for all people, and in 1945 and 1956, state legislative acts formally designated Rutgers as The State University of New Jersey. A flurry of expansion ensued. The University of Newark (now Rutgers–Newark) joined Rutgers in 1946, followed by the College of South Jersey (now Rut-gers–Camden) in 1950. An ambitious building program added libraries, classrooms, and student housing across the three regional campuses. In 1969, Livingston College opened, providing a co-educational residential experience with a special commitment to diversity. Graduate education in the arts and sciences grew through the establishment of the Graduate School–New Brunswick, the Graduate School–Newark, and the Graduate School–Camden. Pro-fessional schools were formed to serve students in the fields of business; communication, information, and library studies; criminal justice; education; fine arts; law; management and labor relations; nursing; planning and public policy; psychology; public affairs and administration; and social work. Meanwhile, as industry and government sought partners in solving problems and advancing knowledge, the concept of the research university emerged.

In 1981, Rutgers adopted a blueprint for its transformation into a major public research university. With increased support from state, federal, and corporate partners, Rutgers’ strength in research grew dramatically. In 1989, in recognition of its enhanced stature, Rutgers was invited to join the prestigious Association of American Universities, an organization comprising the top 61 research universities in North America. Today, professors and students work in more than 200 specialized research centers, unraveling mysteries in marine sciences, early childhood education, neuroscience, advanced materials, climate change, nutrition, homeland security, transportation, stem cells, and many other areas that can improve life both in New Jersey and around the world.

A 2007 major reorganization of undergraduate education in New Brunswick reinvigorated the undergraduate experience for both students and faculty by combining the traditions and strengths of four undergraduate liberal arts colleges—Douglass, Livingston, Rutgers, and University—into a single School of Arts and Sciences.

With 28 schools and colleges, Rutgers offers more than 100 undergraduate majors and more than 180 graduate and professional degree programs. The university graduated more than 13,000 students last year, and has more than 400,000 living alumni residing in all 50 states and on six continents. Rutgers also sponsors community initiatives in all 21 New Jersey counties. Universitywide, new degree programs, research endeavors, and community outreach are in development to meet the demands of the 21st century.

Today, Rutgers continues to grow, both in its facilities and in the variety and depth of its educational and research programs. The university’s goals for the future include the continued provision of the highest quality education, along with the increased support of research and commitment to public service to meet the needs of society.
