2012-13 UNH SWIMMING & DIVING


THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE The University of New Hampshire was originally founded as a land-grant college whose mission was to shape and educate citizenry among the state’s farmers, business people and engineers. Today, the University is a land-, sea-, and space-grant university serving a growing undergraduate student body of about 11,942 and a graduate population of 2,257 in addition to 621 full-time faculty members, 86% of which have earned their doctorate degree. The University has grown into a top public research university occupying 2,600 acres of classic living and learning space, while still maintaining the look and feel of a New England liberal arts college with a faculty dedicated to teaching. UNH’s student to faculty ratio registers at 18:1 with 85% of its classes having 50 students or less. History As one of the most prestigious institutions in the Northeast, the University of New Hampshire has always been recognized as a leader in education and research, spanning all fields of study and uniting them through interdisciplinary programs, labs, farms, theatres, research centers, and libraries. Founded in 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, UNH was among the early state institutions of higher education whose formation was made possible by federal government land grants. The purpose for the grants was to establish colleges that would serve the sons and daughters of farming and laboring families. New Hampshire College was originally situated in Hanover, N.H. Here it was in connection with Dartmouth College before moving to Durham in 1893 after Benjamin Thompson bequeathed land and money to further the development of the college. The state legislature then granted its new charter as the University of New Hampshire in 1923. The University hosts 733 international students from more than 45 countries and boasts a population of students from all 50 states. Along with over 100 majors offered, UNH encompasses seven schools and colleges that undergraduates can choose from: the College of Liberal Arts, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, School of Health and Human Services, College of Life Sciences and Agricultures, Whittemore School of Business and Economics, and the Thompson School of Applied Science. And at the very heart of the University’s undergraduate studies is the General Education Program. The GEP is a core program with a breadth of academic subjects that aims to acquaint the student with some of the major modes of thought necessary to understand oneself, others, society, and the world. The University prides itself as being a top 10 entrepreneurial campus (Forbes.com and The Princeton Review) and is among the top 30 universities nationally in science research funding from NASA. UNH is home to the NASA-recognized Space Science Center; the Institute for Study for Earth, Oceans and Space; and the Institute of Marine Science and Engineering. The English program is staffed by an inspiring faculty of winners of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the MacArthur Fellowship, the Edgar Allen Poe Award and the Young Poets Award. In addition, the Whittemore School of Business and Economics, established in 1962, was recently selected second among all business schools in a nationwide pool of business school deans. UNH also graduates students who attend top-notch graduate schools, including Law School at Harvard and Cornell, Engineering at Stanford, and Medical School at Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, and Harvard. Campus In recent years, several of the athletic facilities have received major upgrades and improveCampus ments. In September of 2001, the University completed a new $2.15 million track and field facility. The Jerry Azumah Performance Center, a strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House, was dedicated on July 8, 2003. Renovations to the Center included the addition of 5,000 pounds of Olympic weights, 7,000 pounds of dumbbells, 14 Powerlift platform stations, 12 Hammer strength machines and an additional 15,000 pounds of weights. UNH athletics also added two $1.5 million outdoor artificial fields, Memorial Field and Bremner Field. Lundholm Gymnasium has received some major overhauls, including a new playing surface, new lights, new sound system, new bleacher system, new backboards and new scoreboards. The Paul Sweet Oval was also renovated to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture. In the 2012 offseason, Cowell Stadium was fitted with a brand new scoreboard while the football locker rooms were renovated as well. In the locker rooms, a new lighting system was installed while a 55inch flat-screen TV and Fathead-designed murals featuring former players and UNH history were added to the walls. A memorial of Todd Walker was also added in honor of the former Wildcat wide receiver. Walker suffered an untimely and heroic death March 18, 2011, in Boulder, Colo., when he stopped an attempted robbery and saved the life of a woman he was walking home. Most recently, a new electronic scoreboard was added to Bremner Field and it has been announced that lights will be constructed at Cowell Stadium by the 2013-14 academic year. In November of 1995, construction of the $27 million Recreation and Sport Complex reached completion. The Whittemore Center includes a state-of-the-art 6,500 to 7,500 seat arena for hockey, concerts and convocations, as well as a new three-level recreational sports facility within the structure that had housed the old Snively Arena. In addition to the incredible improvements of its athletic facilities, the University has upgraded and renovated a large part of its academic campus as well. The latest addition to the expanding campus is the Paul College of Business and Economics, a 115,000 square foot academic building located on Garrison Avenue. Completed in January 2013, the building features 16 technology-rich classrooms, totaling 950 new instructional seats. There will also be 25 high-tech groups study rooms along with a two-story “Great Hall” Dimond Library for informal and special events. Outside of the facility, there will be a courtyard for outdoor activities and events. The building is a LEED

(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold facility, maintaining the University’s commitment to sustainable programs and facilities. The University broke ground on the project in May 2011. Thompson Hall, one of the standing historical landmarks of the University, has also been beautifully refurbished and restored. The University completed a $52 million renovation of Kingsbury Hall in October of 2007, adding 6,000 square feet of student project space for students in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, as well as a $4.5 million revamp of Hewitt Hall to expand the School of Health and Human Services. In addition, the 120,000 square foot Biological Sciences Building, Rudman Hall and the Spaulding Life Sciences Renovation project now provide state-of-the-art teaching and researching laboratories. The University also spent $15 million to complete Morse Hall, a new science and engineering building as well as $8.2 million to modernize the Memorial Union Building. The revision to the existing student union building consisted of several upgrades including top kitchen and dining facilities, two theaters, student mailboxes, lounges and meeting rooms, as well as additional retail spaces such as the University Bookstore. Additionally, the University completed construction of the new dining facility on Main Street, Holloway Commons, as well as the renovation of the Dimond Library. Combining the atmosphere of a small New England liberal arts college with the resources and opportunities of a major research university, the University of New Hampshire is a place where all students can find or create their own niche and succeed. While the University offers an extremely broad academic base with an inspiring faculty, it also provides students with thousands of opportunities to get involved, either through athletics, campus recreation, student life, or research. The University is a dynamic community that not only challenges its members academically but also expands their understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity and leads to incredible growth as students, faculty, staff, and as a community.

Joshua Willman

Head Coach Miami ’84 - 21st Season In 2013 head coach Joshua Willman celebrated his 20th season at the helm of the University of New Hampshire’s Swimming & Diving program. The 2012-2013 season was arguably one of Willman’s best to date as he earned his 15th Coach of the Year Award and brought the program its seventh conference championship title. The Wildcats won the 2013 America East title with a record setting 858 points to break the conference record held by the 1998 Wildcat squad. Junior Jenni Roberts (Springvale, Maine) was selected America East Swimmer of the Year and Roberts along with sophomore Katie Mann (Prince George, British Columbia) went on to qualify and compete at the 2013 Division I Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships. It was the fourth consecutive year Willman has been named Coach of the Year for the America East Conference. A 1984 graduate of the University of Miami (Florida), Willman began his coaching career just after graduation at the YMCA and U.S.A. Swimming level. Willman entered the collegiate coaching arena as the Assistant Coach for New Hampshire in 1991, took over the program the following season and earned his first coaching honor as the Men’s Coach of the Year. Since then, New Hampshire’s success has not gone unnoticed, as Willman has become the America East Conference’s most highly decorated coach. He has been selected America East Coach of the Year 12 times in the past 20 years (1993, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013) and ECAC Coach of the Year three times (2003, 2011 and 2013). New Hampshire swimmers are the most highly honored student-athletes in the America East, winning 33 major conference awards including 21 Swimmers of the Year (16 America East and 5 ECAC), seven America East ScholarAthlete of the Year, four Rookie of the Year and three Senior High Point Coaches awards. During Willman’s tenure, 342 swimmers have been crowned America East champions and 103 have been named ECAC Champions. In total, Wildcat swimmers have broken over 242 school records, 90 America East records and 23 ECAC records. A number of milestones in particular have marked UNH’s steady rise to the top. In 1995, Willman produced UNH’s first-ever NCAA Division I qualifier, Denise Leckenby. She later went on to earn All-America honors in 1996 placing eighth in the 200-freestyle as well as 11th in the 100-freestyle earning UNH enough points to finish 27th in the nation at the 1996 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships. Building on the successes of the mid-90’s, the Wildcats then won their first America East title in 19971998 and then repeated as conference champions in 1998-1999. Beginning the new era in 2000, New Hampshire native and breaststroke standout Kristen Zeimetz was a finalist at the 2000 U.S. Open and participated in the 2000 U.S. Olympic team trials. In 2003 the Wildcats won their first ECAC Championship team title, earning Willman his first of three ECAC Coach of the Year honors, and continued to place near the top at the America East Championships once again, as

they won back-to-back America East titles in 2004-2005 and 2005-2006. New Hampshire continued to qualify swimmers for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships, as senior Shannon Daly and sophomore Kary Goodman both placed in the top 25 in the nation in the 200 breaststroke and 200 butterfly, respectively, during the 2006 campaign. UNH completed the 2006 season ranked eighth nationally in the mid-major Division I Polls. The Wildcats won the ECAC Championships in 2011 for the second time in school history, claiming the title by a 1.5 point margin, a first-place finish on the final event, taking the 400-yard freestyle relay in record setting fashion. Most recently, in 2012-13, Willman led the team to a 6-0 start and finished the season with a record of 7-2 en route to the record setting America East title performance. As the national polls were released by CollegeSwimming.com (Feb. 21), the Wildcats earned the 19th spot in the rankings. Among the top-five schools were (1) Florida, (2) California, (3) Southern California, (4) Texas and (5) Stanford. In the 19th spot, the squad ranked ahead of Princeton (20), Missouri State (21), Columbia (22), UMBC (23), North Carolina (24) and Virginia Tech (25). It was the first time UNH was ranked in the Top 20 in the Division I Poll. In the ensuing ECAC Championships, the Wildcats posted a second-place finish with 403 points, despite not competing in relays. Willman earned his third ECAC Coach of the Year honors as Roberts and Katie Mann were honored as co-swimmers of the meet. New Hampshire’s swimmers are consistently swimming at the elite level representing not only the United States but more recently internationally with Wildcat swimmers competing in Senior Nationals and the Olympic Trials for their home countries including Canada, South Africa and Denmark. New Hampshire is consistently an Academic All-America team and swimmers have earned NCAA Academic All-American honors, post-graduate scholarship awards and ranked as high as sixth nationally for grade point average. Willman is a certified ASCA Level IV coach and has been a recipient of the ASCA Coaching Excellence Award.

MARTY SCARANO

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS PENN STATE ’78 - 14th Season The 2013-14 academic year marks the 14th year Marty Scarano is serving as the Director of Athletics at the University of New Hampshire. During his tenure, Scarano has heightened national exposure for UNH athletics with academics, facility renovations and programmatic advancement being top priorities. The Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of UNH athletes during the 2012-13 academic year was 87 percent among 20 varsity sports. Additionally, the NCAA honored five Wildcat teams that scored a perfect Academic Progress Rate (APR) of 1,000. The UNH teams include: men’s skiing, women’s cross country, women’s indoor track & field, women’s outdoor track & field and gymnastics. Men’ soccer and women’s lacrosse were ranked at the top in America East with scores of 985 and 991, respectively. The football team and men’s ice hockey team were runners-up in their respective conferences, registering scores of 991 and 978. Women’s swimming & diving posted the second-highest score among all New Hampshire sports with a 994 mark. In the America East Academic Cup, UNH finished second for the third time in the last four years by achieving a 3.18 cumulative grade point average. It is UNH’s highest GPA in the 18-year history of the award. New Hampshire led all institutions with 108 student-athletes on the 2012 America East Fall Academic Honor Roll while earning the highest percentage of student-athletes named to the 2012-13 America East Winter/Spring Academic Honor Roll. New Hampshire had 155 honorees, which represented 72 percent of the student-athletes who competed in those seasons, an improvement of 10 percent from the previous year. Scarano has helped elevate UNH athletics into the collegiate national arena. To accomplish that goal, the University has taken on the task of hosting major NCAA championships.

SEASON PREVIEW

The 2013-14 University of New Hampshire women’s swimming & diving team eagerly awaits the opportunity to defend its 2013 America East crown. New Hampshire seeks to repeat conference titles, which it previously accomplished going back-to-back in the 2005 and 2006 seasons. Hailing from four different countries with a bona fide core of veterans and newcomers possessing great potential, the Wildcats strive to exceed last year’s accolades. 2012-13 Season: Last season was another decorated season from the program, taking its fifth America East crown, setting six records and earning Swimmer of the Year in both America East and the ECAC. Additionally, the Wildcats were ranked as high as 19th in Division I en route to a record-setting 858-point performance at the conference championships. The ‘Cats topped off a remarkable season by sending two Katie Mann Jenni Roberts student-athletes to the NCAA Championships at Indiana University. Representing UNH was America East Swimmer of the Year and ECAC co-Swimmer of the Year Jenni Roberts (Springvale, Maine) and ECAC co-Swimmer of the Year Katie Mann (Prince George, B.C.). The pair performed admirably at the championships. Mann posted a personal best in the 200-yard individual medley, posting a time of 2:00.99. Roberts put forth strong performances in the three-day event. The Wildcats welcome back for his 21st season head coach Josh Willman.

Seniors: The Class of 2014 senior class returns five swimmers this season: Jenna Bull (Woodstock, New Josh Willman Brunswick), Bernadette Byrne (Braintree, Mass.), Katie Keefer (Waynesboro, Va.), Lauren McCandless (Macungie, Pa.) and Roberts. Bull was part of the record setting quartet, breaking the 800-yard freestyle relay time at the America East Championships, clocking in at 7:17.68. Byrne, a two-time America East Commissioner’s Honor Roll mention, provides depth in the butterfly and freestyle events. Keefer also provides depth performing in the backstroke and freestyle events.

Violette provides depth in relay events in addition to competing in the butterfly. Additionally, the junior class welcomes back twins, Adria Morales (Santa Clarita, Calif.) and Allison Morales (Santa Clarita, Calif.) for their second season with the Wildcats. Adria placed first in the 1,000yard freestyle vs. Rhode Island in addi-

21
