COACHING STAFF Since his arrival at Stony Brook in 1979, head coach Dave Alexander has been a consistent presence at University Pool. Alexander started the women’s swimming and diving program in 1979 and took over head coaching duties of the men’s team in 1995. He’s experienced many years of success and won his 300th overall meet during the 2007-08 season. Throughout his tenure, over 100 of his women swimmers have earned All-Metropolitan Conference accolades, four have been named All-Americans and over 20 have competed in the NCAA Championships. Alexander has also totaled seven seasons with ten or more victories with the women’s team. Prior to joining the America East Conference, Alexander led the men’s team to its first Division I/II MET Conference title. His best overall season with the men’s program was in 1998-99, when he guided the Seawolves to a 10-6 mark. Alexander has been named the Metropolitan Conference’s Division I/II Men’s Coach of the Year three times (1991, 1996 and 1998), was named the MET Women’s Swimming and Diving Coach of the Year by his peers in 1991, and his staff was named the America East Coaching Staff of the Year in 2005-06. Alexander has also earned Stony Brook Female Athletics Coach of the Year honors on two occasions. A 1970 graduate of New Paltz, Alexander earned his maters’s degree from Adelphi in 1974, Alexander has four daughters, Allison, Erin, Kate and Molly, and lives in Smithtown with his wife, Moira.

Yodice resides in West Islip, where he has a private practice. Vladimir Sreckovic begins his second season as the deck coach of the Stony Brook men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams in 2009. Sreckovic is no stranger to Stony Brook as he was a three-year letterwinner for the Seawolves. A 2007 graduate of Stony Brook, he is a native of Jagodina, Serbia. As a swimmer, he was a member of the Yugoslav and later Serbian national swimming teams. He was a five-time national junior record holder in the 50-meter breaststroke and was the Balkan Champion in the 50-meter breaststroke and 4x100-meter medley relay in 2002. Before coming to the United States, Sreckovic won more than 200 medals at national and international championships and meets. During his time with the Seawolves, Sreckovic was always ranked in the top-five of the America East Conference and broke school records in the 200-meter breaststroke and 4x100-meter medley relay. Prior to coaching at Stony Brook, Sreckovic worked with the Jagodina 2000 swim club in Serbia from 2004-2008. He coached three members of the Serbian National Team, two of which became national record holders. In the summer of 2007, he worked as an assistant for the Serbian National Team.

SEASON PREVIEW

When the 2009-10 season begins, head coach Dave Alexander knows he’s going to have a strong nucleus of five or six swimmers that will be in the mix come February at the America East Championships. But the unknown of newcomers and underclassmen is the challenge of the upcoming season. The strong nucleus of swimmers starts with two seniors, captain Rebecca Sayles (Calgary, Alberta) and Jessica Peters (Holyoke, Mass.). The team’s unquestionable leader, Sayles finished in the top15 in two events at last year’s America East Championships and was part of four team records set in the relay events. “Rebecca is a person who our girls look up to,” Alexander said. “She brings a maturity and focus to our group.” Peters, one of seven seniors on the team, is one of Seawolves’ top breaststroke performers and has a good opportunity to be in the top-10 once again come championship time. Junior Anastasiya Kiryushkina (Moscow, Russia) gives the Seawolves a tremendous 1-2 punch in 100 and 200-yard breaststroke events with Peters. With the graduation of Lucy Liu, junior Adrienne Policht (Mississauga, Ontario) could be the team’s top performer in the backstroke. Sophomore Darcy Heuser (Centerville, Ohio) was the team’s top performer a year ago and her second year as a member of the team

should be no different. Setting team records in the 200, 500, 1,000 and 1,650-yard freestyle events, Heuser earned all-conference honors after placing in the top-three in two events at the conference championships. While not as strong in every event and a young team in all, Alexander has the possibility of relying on a number of newcomers this season. Freshman Julie Policht (Mississauga, Ontario) could be the squad’s top performer in the butterfly this season. At the most recent Canadian Olympic Trials, Policht finished 17th in the 200 fly. With all of the top performers in the 50 free returning, freshman Renee Rosenkranz (Dover, N.Y.) adds a lot to a potent sprint free attack. Freshman Andjelija Sreckovic (Jagodina, Serbia) is an unknown quantity but has swam middle distance prior to Stony Brook. Junior Megan Furrer (Lindenhurst, N.Y.) is one of the team’s more experienced divers but needs to make the necessary transistion to top-12 in the conference, according to Alexander. Alexander has seen strong promise in the preaseason from freshmen MaryKate Morcerf (Babylon, N.Y.), Mary Poulin (Garrison, N.Y.) and Amanda George (Bohemia, N.Y.). “These ladies have practiced well and I could see them performing well,” Alexander said. Despite the unknown commodity of a number of swimmers, Alexander is quite certain that his team is going to work as hard as need be and being outworked is not an option.

About America East... Now in its third decade of operation, America East has evolved into one of the most comprehensive NCAA Division I conferences with a commitment to broad-based, competitive athletics programs, complementing the academic integrity and missions of the member institutions. Progressive in its approach to its more than 3,200 student-athletes, America East recognizes champions in each of its 20 sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball. America East also conducts the nation’s most comprehensive academic recognition program for student-athletes. With a geographic footprint covering the Mid-Atlantic to Northeast regions of the United States, America East strives to develop champions in academics, athletics and leadership at its nine member institutions: University at Albany, Binghamton University, Boston University, University of Hartford, University of Maine, UMBC, University of New Hampshire, Stony Brook University and University of Vermont. Athletic Success... Boston University won the Stuart P. Haskell, Jr. Commissioner’s Cup for the fourth straight year and seventh time in the last eight seasons after capturing a conference-best seven championships, four regular-season titles and four runner-up finishes during the 2008-09 season. Nineteen America East student-athletes earned All-America recognition, including one in men’s basketball, one in men’s soccer, six in men’s lacrosse, four in women’s lacrosse and nine in cross country/track & field. Three women’s basketball teams – Boston University, Hartford and Vermont – reached the postseason, tying a conference record set in 1999. Boston University defeated Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round of the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship to give America East at least one NCAA win in seven of the last eight years, and the conference RPI (No. 6) was America East’s highest ever. Boston University became the first women’s soccer champion to complete an unbeaten and untied conference slate since 2000 and made its fourth straight NCAA appearance. UMBC (No. 9), which won its second straight America East Men’s Lacrosse Championship, and Stony Brook (No. 20) were ranked in the final USILA national poll, while Albany was also ranked during the season. Sarah Dalton, a first-team All-American in women’s lacrosse, led Boston University to its fifth straight conference title. The Terriers (No. 11) and New Hampshire (No. 20) were ranked in the final IWLCA national poll. Stony Brook women’s cross country competed at the NCAA Women’s Cross Country Championship for the second straight season. Boston University reached the championship round of its NCAA Softball Regional with wins over Iowa and Auburn, matching the best finish ever by an America East team. Academic Success... University of Vermont captured its fifth straight America East Academic Cup in 2009 after its student-athletes registered a cumulative 3.14 grade-point average, which tied the league’s best mark ever. Six other schools also earned a 3.0 GPA or better. America East’s 3,200 student-athletes registered a combined 3.05 GPA during the 2008-09 academic year, and over 60 percent of them were named to America East’s Academic Honor Roll for recording a GPA of 3.0 or better. Connor Tobin (Vermont), Dan Schultz (Boston University) and Cornelia Carapcea (UMBC) were tabbed ESPN The Magazine Academic AllAmericans, while 26 others were All-District selections. University of Vermont’s Connor Tobin (soccer) and Kristen Millar (lacrosse) were the America East Male and Female Scholar-Athletes of the Year, respectively. Twenty-one student-athletes were recognized as America East Scholar-Athletes and 167 received All-Academic recognition in their respective sport. Nineteen America East teams were publicly recognized by the NCAA for their multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR), finishing among the top 10 percent of teams in the nation, with nine programs receiving perfect scores of 1000. Leadership University of Vermont women’s lacrosse standout Kristen Millar was selected the 2009 America East Woman of the Year for a distinguished career in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, service and leadership. Hartford tennis player Rich Leiberman and the Maine softball team were named the America East Male and Female Sportsmanship Award winners. University at Albany appointed George M. Philip as its 18th president, while Stony Brook University named Dr. Samuel Stanley its next president. Patrick Chambers, who helped lead Villanova to a Final Four as a men’s basketball assistant coach in 2009, took over as Boston University’s next head coach. Binghamton’s Kevin Broadus, New Hampshire’s Bill Herrion and Stony Brook’s Steve Pikiell all received contract extensions. Three-time All-America East selection Jose Juan Barea (Northeastern) averaged 7.8 points and 3.4 assists in 79 games for the Dallas Mavericks in 2008-09, while three-time America East Player of the Year Malik Rose (Drexel) played in 38 games for the New York Knicks and Oklahoma City Thunder. Former Hartford star Vin Baker and three-time America East Player of the Year Reggie Lewis (Northeastern), who captained the Boston Celtics at the time of his premature death, combined to make five NBA All-Star appearances during their careers. Current women’s basketball coaches Jennifer Rizzotti (Hartford) and Cindy Blodgett (Maine) have appeared in WNBA action. Carlos Pena, the 1998 Baseball Scholar-Athlete at Northeastern, has made an impact each of the past three seasons in Tampa Bay, earning American League Comeback Player of the Year honors in 2007, winning an American League Gold Glove at first base in 2008 and making his first All-Star appearance in 2009, while the Minnesota Twins’ Joe Nathan, a former Academic All-American at Stony Brook, played in his fourth Mid-Summer Classic. Seven former America East men’s lacrosse standouts appeared in the Major League Lacrosse All-Star Game in 2009, including Merrick Thomson, a four-time all-conference selection at Albany who was named the 2008 Warrior Most Improved Player. John Grant (Delaware), the 1999 America East Player of Year, was the league’s Most Valuable Player last season. Albany’s Steward Ceus became the third America East player taken in the Major League Soccer Draft, going 37th overall to the Colorado Rapids. Fellow former Great Dane Bouna Coundoul recorded 16 career shutouts in 52 career games for the Rapids before signing with the New York Red Bulls in July.

There is no question that 2009-10 men’s squad has topnotch swimmers in returning sophomore Sean Conway (Oakdale, N.Y.) and junior Lukasz Ochmanski (Lodz, Poland), but the bigger question will be, are the Seawolves deep enough to crack the top-3. “Part of being a successful team is having depth,” head coach Dave Alexander said. “Are we going to have what it takes to compete at the America East Championships in February.” Conway and Ochmanski will be important components if Stony Brook is to score at the conference championships. Conway posted the team’s top times in the sprint freestyle events and Ochmanski was by far the top long-distance swimmer for the Seawolves, posting team records in the 500 and 1,650 free. With regard to the long distance events, junior captain Nathan Fleshman (Monroe, Mich.) and Zackery Good (Columbus, Ind.) are also back this year. Fleshman was a top-15 finisher in the 500 and 1,650 free at the conference championships and also swam the 400 IM. Good was impressive as a freshman, swimming in all freestyle distance events as well as relay. To make up for the loss of graduating seniors, Alexander has brought in a pair of transfers in sophomore Cliff Gonzalez (White Plains, N.Y.) and junior Matthew McCort (Commack, N.Y.). A transfer from Michigan State, Gonzalez could be an

important addition in the sprint free events. A transfer from America East rival Binghamton, McCort will instantly make the Seawolves a stronger team come championships. Freshman Ivan Kopas (Kikinda, Serbia) is a performer who Alexander has high hopes for. With the loss of a number of backstrokers, Kopas could step right in and challenge for points in February. With the leadership of Fleshman and co-captain Sean Clarke (Bellmore, N.Y.), the team will be ready, according to Alexander. “We’ve been training hard since we’ve been back on campus and our overall attitude is great,” Alexander said. “The team has good chemistry and comraderie with a can-do attitude.” It will be a challenge for the men’s team in 2009-10 but if Alexander is correct in his preseason assessments, the Seawolves are ready to score in February.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Jim

FIORE

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS 7TH YEAR B.A. - Hofstra University M.A. - Springfield College

On July 23, 2003, President Shirley Strum Kenny introduced Jim Fiore as the ninth Director of Athletics in Stony Brook University history, stating “Jim has the energy, drive, enthusiasm and intelligence to take this program, in the tradition of Stony Brook, very far, very fast.” At the time of his hire Fiore was one of the youngest Directors of Athletics in NCAA Division I. Since his arrival at Stony Brook from Princeton University in August 2003, Fiore has pointed Stony Brook on an aggressive course for success in all aspects of intercollegiate athletics. He has undertaken a major restructuring of the intercollegiate athletics program, including the hiring of new coaching and administrative staff, dramatic facility upgrades and improved revenue generation. Fiore’s vision for Stony Brook athletics has resulted in unprecedented growth for the program. After its championship season in 2005, the football program was elevated to the NCAA I-AA scholarship level, and in April 2006, Fiore announced that the program would upgrade to Independent status for the 2007 season and accepted an invitation into the Big South Conference as an associate member for football only. In doing so, he has ensured the long-term future of Stony Brook football, enabling it to eventually compete for a national championship alongside institutions with similar academic and athletic standards. In addition, his dynamic imaging and branding campaign has given Stony Brook athletics a national scope. During the 2005-2006 academic year, Stony Brook inked a television deal with Madison Square Garden (MSG) Network to broadcast a multi-game package during the 2006-2007 academic year, the first television deal in the program’s history. In January 2006, the department also launched The Stony Brook Sports Report, a 30-week television show that is produced on campus and aired nationally on CSTV. Fiore also spearheaded the bid that resulted in Stony Brook being awarded the opportunity to host the NCAA Division I men’s lacrosse north quarterfinals in May 2006. Fiore’s grand design has produced dramatic results and a series of firsts for Stony Brook. In 2004, the baseball team won its first America East title and went to the NCAA Tournament. In the fall of 2005, the football program secured its first-ever conference title in its Division I history. On the same day that the football team won a championship, the men’s soccer team capped its regular-season title by capturing its first America East Tournament crown to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. The men’s soccer team went on to notch Stony Brook’s first NCAA playoff victory with a first-round win over Yale. Success continued during the winter months as the women’s basketball team put together the second-best turnaround in Division I, going from 8-20 in 2004-2005 to a 20-10 mark in 2005-2006. Along the way, the team defeated nationally-ranked Temple en route to receiving the program’s first postseason bid, a trip to the 2006 WNIT. In the spring of 2005, the men’s lacrosse team garnered its firstever Top 20 ranking in the 16-year history of the program and is now regularly ranked in the top-20. Under Fiore’s leadership, Stony Brook won its first Division I conference championships in women’s sports in 2007 as the women’s lacrosse, cross country and volleyball teams all won titles. Fiore also has turned his attention to department-wide fundraising efforts, with his efforts resulting in an increase of more than 55 percent in both annual giving revenue and number of donors. In an effort to take a lead role in the university’s $300 million capital campaign, the Department of Athletics has secured several major gifts, two of which were the largest philanthropic gifts given to athletics in its history. In July 2005, Fiore hired a Senior Associate Director of Athletics for External Services & Advancement and adopted a new philosophy for the annual Providing Athletes With Support (P.A.W.S.) fundraising campaign, a philosophy that streamlined the annual fundraising process to prepare Stony Brook to exceed all fundraising expectations in the future. In addition, he created the Athletic Director Advisory Council, a 19-member board comprised of Stony Brook alumni, staff and community members that will advise Fiore in the fundraising advancement process. His attention to the bottom line resulted in a new athletic department budget process that relieved the department of an annual systemic deficit, resulting in a balanced budget for the 2004-2005 academic year, the first time that Stony Brook realized that goal since moving to the Division I level. Fiore has seen the department balance its budget every year since and has overseen a budget growth from $9 million to $14 million. Beginning in the ‘04-’05 academic year, Stony Brook University athletics realized a near 20 percent increase in its operating budget due to new revenue streams for the department. Additionally, Stony Brook has teamed with Islanders Media Inc. as the athletic department continues to nurture and foster strong bonds with the Long Island corporate community. Fiore has secured $30 million from New York State for athletic facility renovations to the Stony Brook University Basketball Arena, Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium and various other athletic facilities. In December 2003, Stony Brook retained HOK, the premier sports architectural firm

2009-10 STONY BROOK SWIMMING & DIVING

in the nation, to formulate and develop a master plan for the future of Stony Brook athletic facilities. The blueprint already has begun to take hold: The baseball/softball complex received a facelift with the addition of new bleachers and press boxes, the strength and conditioning facility was renovated and expanded and the Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium is going to have a $6 million expansion that will include increasing seating by 2,000 and new Club and V.I.P. seating. Additionally a $20 million renovation of the Stony Brook University Basketball Arena will commence in Spring 2008 as well as a $1.2 million renovation to the Pritchard Gymnasium complex. The football, men’s lacrosse, women’s lacrosse and visiting team locker rooms in LaValle Stadium recently were redesigned and enhanced for $1,000,000. Under Fiore’s leadership, Stony Brook student-athletes also have attained new levels of achievement in the classroom. Since his arrival the GPA for student-athletes has risen from 2.86 in 2003 to 3.11 in the fall of 2007. The ‘07-’08 academic year proved to be Stony Brook’s most successful season academically as its student-athletes compiled a department best overall G.P.A. of 3.06 and saw 339 student-athletes named to the America East honor roll - the most since the university joined the America East in 2001. In the fall of 2007, 15 of 20 teams earned team GPAs above 3.0 and 71 percent of Stony Brook’s student-athletes were named to the America East Honor Roll or the America East Commissioner’s Honor Roll for earning above a 3.0 or 3.5 GPA, respectively. Coinciding with this success, Stony Brook unveiled the new Goldstein Student-Athlete Development Center in the spring of 2006, a center made possible through a $1.2 million gift from Stony Brook alum and former All-American squash player Stuart Goldstein ‘74. The 6,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility can accommodate more than 400 student-athletes and features a computer lab, a study hall/multipurpose function room, a career resource/library area and several private tutor rooms. During his tenure, Fiore also has guided Stony Brook through the essential and formative NCAA Certification process, helped redesign the athletic logo and athletic website, developed a new comprehensive student-athlete exit survey and head coach performance evaluation instrument, implemented mandatory drug testing, and unveiled an athletic department strategic plan through 2011. Fiore also has instituted a “Book of the Year” program for coaches and staff that highlights important topics relevant to professional and personal development, culminating with the author’s visit to campus and discussion with the entire staff. In the fall of 2004, Fiore implemented a Minority Apprentice program to assist in the development of young professionals in intercollegiate athletics. His list of accomplishments has not gone unnoticed. In December 2007 Fiore was named the Sports Man of the Year by The Village Times Herald and in the fall of 2004, he was recognized by the Long Island Business Association as one of the Top 40 executives under the age of 40 on Long Island. Fiore currently serves on University President Samuel Stanley’s Cabinet and also was appointed by Kenny to co-chair the strategic plan for image and identity committee. He also has served on the honorary degree, weekend life, NCAA certification and the university sponsorship committees. In 2005 he was appointed to the Executive Committee of the America East Conference and currently serves as the Chairman of the group. Fiore also is a member of the NCAA Division I Championships/Sports Management Cabinet and the NCAA Division I Misconduct Appeals Sub-committee. Recently, he was named to the Dowling College Sports Management Board of Directors. In June 2004, Fiore was a featured speaker at the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) convention in Dallas, Texas. From 1999-2003, he provided department-wide leadership in support of the director of athletics at Princeton University, a program that supports 38 sports, 40 club sports programs and more than 1,000 student-athletes. A member of the senior management team, he was responsible for all athletic programming oversight of all varsity intercollegiate programs. In addition, Fiore directed all personnel matters, including the coordination of national searches for coaches, staff and administrative positions. Along with the director of athletics, he assisted in the planning for short and long-term capital improvements. During Fiore’s tenure, Princeton achieved extraordinary success on the fields of play and in the classroom. Princeton finished among the Top 25 in the Director’s Cup standings in three of the four years he was there and is the only non-scholarship institution ever to finish in the Top 25. From 1999-2003, Princeton teams won 60 Ivy League championships and nine national championships. From 1995-1998, Fiore was the Assistant Director of Athletics for Intercollegiate Programming at Dartmouth College, where he assisted with the daily operation and supervision of Dartmouth’s comprehensive 34-sport program. Before Dartmouth, Fiore interned at Princeton (1994-1995) for one year, during which he assisted the director of athletics on assigned projects. He began his career as a graduate assistant at Springfield College before moving on to be an assistant to the Executive Director of the National Invitation Tournament during the spring and summer of 1993. One year later, he took an internship in the compliance office at Fordham University. A native of Long Beach, N.Y, Fiore graduated from Long Beach High School and went on to earn his Bachelor of Arts degree from Hofstra University, where he played free safety for the football team. Upon graduation from Hofstra, Fiore earned a master’s degree in education from Springfield College. Additionally, he received a certificate from The Sports Management Institute held at the University of Notre Dame and University of South Carolina. Fiore and his wife, Lisa, have a son, Michael, who is 7 years old. They reside in Stony Brook.
