McHugh Natatorium The success the Clemson swimming and diving program has enjoyed over the years has not been won easily. Coach Ip and his staff make every effort to prepare for each race. McHugh Natatorium, home to the Tigers since 1984 is situated in the recently renovated Fike Recreation Center.

Renovated in 2003, Fike was rebuilt from the ground up, reflecting the history of the building, while providing the most advanced collection of equipment possible. At McHugh, the teams enjoy their own private space for relaxing and competing.

Additionally, the renovations included new starting blocks and decking, as well as new team locker rooms and improved lighting.

The bottom of the pool and the diving well were also retiled.

The natatorium is run in conjection with the campus recreation department which boasts 200,000 square foot Fike Recreation Center & Swann Fitness Center, 32,000 square foot Indoor Tennis Complex, 21 Court Outdoor Tennis Complex, 390,000 gallon McHugh Natatorium, 23 acres of sport fields, 6,800 square foot sun deck and additional outdoor venues. The Fike Recreation Center had 452,086 visits for the 2005-2006 fiscal year.

On January 14, 1984, prior to the meet against Virginia, ceremonies were held to re-name Fike Natatorium in honor of

former Men’s swimming and diving coach Carl McHugh. McHugh was the first swimming and diving coach at Clemson during the Atlantic Coast Conference era. He began coaching during the 1953-54 season and retired in 1976 after 23 years at the helm of the program.

McHugh Natatorium has played host to numerous meets, ranging from the Clemson Invitational, to dual meets with na-

tionally ranked opponents, to the Men’s and Women’s conference championships. The Tigers hosted the 1985 ACC Championships in which the Clemson Men’s team finished second and the Women’s team placed third overall.

The natatorium facilities include an attractive eight-lane pool featuring a complete Colorado Timing System. The pool has a large deck area for dryland workouts and a sundeck overlooking Death Valley. The seating area can accomodate nearly 1,000 Tiger fans.

The divers make use of a 13-1/2 foot diving well complete with durafirm standards and Maxiflex model “B” diving boards.

The diving well features two one-meter boards on concrete foundations and two three-meter boards on durafirm standards. The well is also equipped with dryland facilities.

When the Tiger swimmers and divers are not in the water, the Clemson campus features 1,400 beautiful acres to conduct dryland workouts in the off-season.

McHugh Natatorium can hold a maximum capacity of 1,000 people.

CLEMSON EXPERIENCE

Many have said that experience is the best teacher.

Perhaps that’s why students who attend Clemson University not only seek superior academics, they look for broader opportunities-hands-on learning, a stronger sense of family and community, and a powerful connection to the world around them. The best of both worlds, Clemson is redefining the term “top-tier research university” by combining the scientific and technological horsepower of a major research university with the highly engaged academic and social environment of a private, liberal arts college.

Described as the perfect blend of geography, camraderie and scholarship, Clemson is more than just a steppingstone to academic excellence. It’s the gateway to the rest of your life.

The Clemson Experience is different for every student.

There are countless opportunities to participate in decades of tradition, perform community service and pursue challenging learning situations. Clemson is a vibrant, student-centered community that thrives on leadership, collaboration, public service, relevant research and a winning spirit -- in academics, athletics and life.

CLEMSON, SC

The signs on the side of the highway as you enter Clemson say “Clemson: In Season Every Season.” From the point of view of most Clemson graduates, the seasons this slogan speaks of are football, basketball, baseball, etc. But a drive through town in the middle of spring, when the azaleas and dogwoods are in full bloom, or a walk through campus in October, when the trees are blazing in the brilliant colors of autumn, will leave little doubt that Clemson is indeed in season, every season. Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and caressed by the shores of beautiful Lake Hartwell, Clemson is located in the northwest corner of South Carolina, two hours northeast of Atlanta, GA and two hours southwest of Charlotte, NC. The friendly residents of Clemson and the surrounding towns welcome visitors each year with a true dose of southern hospitality.

With its college-town, lakefront setting against a backdrop of mountains and forests, Clemson is characterized by a strong sense of community, a commitment to service and a love of winning – in academics, in athletics and in life.

The area boasts a great variety of restaurants, ranging from the downtown barbecue and hamburger spots, to the historic Liberty Hall Inn and Calhoun Corners. Any palate or budget can find something to his or her liking, as more than 50 eating establishments are located in the Clemson/Pendleton/ Central area. The area adopts “Clemson Fever,” as Tiger Paws are omnipresent on local billboards and entrances.

The mild climate of the foothills lends itself to many outdoor activities throughout the year. Clemson has excellent and ample facilities for tennis, golf, fishing, hiking, white-water rafting and various other pursuits. The campus borders the 900-plus-mile shoreline of Lake Hartwell, where swimming, boating, skiing and sailing are popular pasttimes.

When one wants to leave the area, they do not have to go far to find whatever they are looking for. Pro sports are only a couple of hours away in Atlanta and Charlotte. For sun and fun, its an easy interstate drive to the coast of South Carolina, to Hilton Head Island, Myrtle Beach, or even historic Charleston.

And for those who enjoy cooler climates, the mountains of North Carolina are only an hour’s drive away.

On football game days, Clemson becomes the fourth largest city in South Carolina, with over 81,000 “citizens” in attendance.

VICKERY HALL Student-Athlete Enrichment

Auditorium

Since its inception in 1991, the Student-Athlete Enrichment Programs have provided student-athletes a continued commitment to excellence. Our approach is to address the total student-athlete, and we are committed to coaching our student-athletes to success in the academic, personal growth, career, and community service arenas.

As an original member of the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, we provide opportunities and services to address the changing needs and skills of studentathletes during college and after graduation. This program was selected for the Division I-A Athletic Director’s Association “Program of Excellence” Award, a lifetime award recognizing CHAMP/Life Skills excellence.

The Student-Athlete Enrichment Programs are housed in Vickery Hall, located in the center of campus. The $3-million structure is as impressive aesthetically as other athletic facilities. It recently underwent $300,000 in renovations to further assist our student-athletes in the classroom. But the importance of Vickery Hall to our student-athletes is not found in the structure itself, but in the many programs that the building houses.

Vickery Hall opened in the fall of 1991 and was the first facility in the country constructed solely to provide academic support to student-athletes. The two-story, 27,000 square-foot building is open all day and into the evening hours to accommodate the student-athletes’ extended schedules.

Our programs are dedicated to provide a holistic, educational experience by inspiring an environment of respect, integrity, and excellence.

Through these services, Vickery guides and encourages each individual to reach his or her full potential as a student, athlete, and citizen.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENT

The Career Enhancement Program provides

student-athletes an opportunity to develop and meet their career aspirations by participating in various seminars. We coordinate with the academic colleges, the Michelin Center, and through athletic contacts to provide studentathletes with jobsearching skills and strategies, internships, practical experiences, and help in securing summer employment. They are designed to address specific career opportunities and provide related information about the student-athletes for each year.

One major aspect of the Career Enhancement Program is to focus on building a resumĂŠ and interviewing techniques. This segment is designed to better prepare our student-athletes for full-time employment. Another aspect utilizes the resources available to the University, Alumni Center, and athletic department.

The staff works to establish a network of businesses, companies, and executives who will assist with providing internship and employment opportunities.

The Student-Athlete Enrichment Programs have a career counselor on staff, so career advice is readily available in Vickery Hall. Unique to our program, the career counselor is a member of the Michelin Career Center and SAEP staff. This link between athletics and the Michelin Career Center provides student-athletes the most up-to-date information and resources in career development, and preparation for entrance into the job market upon graduation.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENT

One of the most important programs in Vickery Hall that helps student-

athletes reach their full potential and engage successfully in their college experience is the Personal Growth & Development program. One key component is a first-semester freshman class designed to assist student-athletes in making a successful transition into the university along with athletic life. All firstsemester freshmen attend a semester-long series of workshops, targeting the transitional issues of time management, organizational strategies, health and wellness issues, athletic performance, diversity issues, career orientation, and service training.

Throughout the academic year, all student-athletes are required to attend large-group programs, which focus on pertinent social, health, or athletic issues.

Vickery Hall Values *Education and lifelong learning as the foundation of our program *Integrity and honesty in our dealing with student-athletes, faculty, and staff *Respect and responsibility, both given and inspired *Holistic development of each student athlete *The ethical standards governing Clemson University, the ACC, and the NCAA

TRADITIONS MILITARY HISTORY

Clemson University has a proud tradition of military excellence. Founded as a military school in 1889, Clemson built its reputation by consistently graduating well-prepared officers. Today, Clemson Army and Air Force ROTC cadets carry on the rich tradition of the historic Corps of Cadets. Clemson's military spirit is commemorated through sites such as the Clemson Military Heritage Plaza, which overlooks Bowman Field and features an array of ribbons and honors, the footprints of brave service men and inscriptions from a variety of alumni classes.

Float Homecoming

HOMECOMING AND TIGERAMA

The excitement, spirit and enthusiasm of Homecoming celebrations have been a Clemson tradition since 1914. During the week preceding the game, student organizations crowd onto Bowman Field to construct Homecoming displays that will be judged on game day. On every Homecoming Friday night since 1957, Tigerama - one of the nation's largest student-run pep rallies - has featured the crowning of Miss Homecoming, skits by student organizations and spectacular fireworks.

ORANGE, PURPLE AND THE TIGER

The first "colors" of Clemson can be seen in an early diploma displayed on campus. But to everyone's surprise, they're red and blue! The orange and purple began when Walter Merritt Riggs formed Clemson's first football team in 1896. Because Riggs had come from Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama (later renamed Auburn), he borrowed ideas from their team colors, orange and purple, and their mascot, the Tiger. Although the football team was known as the Tigers and often used "Eat 'Em Up, Tigers" as a slogan, it wasn't until 1954 that a Clemson student donned the mascot suit. In 1993, the Tiger was joined by the Tiger Cub.

FIRST FRIDAY PARADE

Since 1974, the First Friday Parade has been held the Friday afternoon before the first home football game to celebrate the new football season. Student floats move through campus down Highway 93 and end up at the Outdoor Theater for a pep rally.

CLEMSON RING

The first Clemson class rings were issued in 1896. The "C" surrounding a palmetto tree on a black background is one of the most recognizable of all college rings today.

Copyrighted so that only Clemson alumni and students with more than 95 hours may have the honor of wearing it, the ring contains art elements representing the University's land-grant and military heritages as well as the motto: "Who shall separate us now?" Seniors may receive their rings from President Jim Barker at a Ring Ceremony sponsored by the Clemson Alumni Association and the Student Alumni Association.

RUNNING DOWN THE HILL

Running down "The Hill" originally started out of practicality. Before the west stands were built, the football team dressed at Fike Field House and ran from there to the gate and down the hill onto the field. Today, it's the sound of "YOUR CLEMSON TIGERS," a cannon fires, the band plays "Tiger Rag," and thousands of orangeclad fans cheer the moment when the Tiger football team runs down the grassy hill and onto the field.

This tradition has been dubbed "the most exciting 25 seconds in college football."

WELCOME BACK FESTIVAL

Held the Monday after University housing opens in the fall, this street festival along College Avenue in downtown Clemson gives students a taste of the surrounding restaurants and businesses, which offer food samples, merchandise and prizes.

HOWARD’S ROCK

Howard's Rock, named for legendary Coach Frank Howard, was brought to Clemson from Death Valley, CA by 1919 alumnus S.C. Jones. The rock was first placed on a pedestal at the top of "The Hill" on September 24, 1966. Before a game against Wake Forest on September 23, 1967, Howard told his players that if they would give 110 percent, they could have the privilege of rubbing the rock. The Tigers won that game with a 23-6 victory. The white flint rock still sits at the top of "The Hill," and Tiger football players rub it for good luck before each home game.

TOTAL ATHLETE CARE & PERFORMANCE PROGRAM

Clemson offers a unique program designed to support the success of the student athlete at all levels – in the classroom, the playing field and life. This integrated model of student-athlete support - The Total Athlete Care and Performance Program - addresses the student-athlete’s welfare, conduct and performance from a holistic perspective. Student-athletes are supported through relevant and targeted programs, services, resources, conditions and guiding principles.

With the focus on the unique needs of each student-athlete, the program integrates all resources into one support system, allowing for efficient communication between various entities and rapid access to assistance relevant to each situation.

Dr. Loreto Jackson, an exercise physiologist and sports nutritionist, manages the student-athlete’s integration of care as the Director of Student-Athlete Performance, and works one-on-one with the student-athlete, coach, or teams as the need arises.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

Clemson University has one of the finest weight rooms in the country. In 2004, the weight room was drastically remodeled, receiving a more modern and updated look as well as a more functional layout. Some of the new and updated features of the weight room include a state-of-the-art sound system, eight flat-screen plasma televisions, state-of-the-art ventilation system, new lighting system, 10 new multi-functional Clemson power racks, Mondo rubber flooring throughout entire weight room, new orange upholstery on all equipment, new paint on surrounding walls and columns, carpeting in entrances and offices and a reconstruction of the entryway walls.

The nearly 15,000 square foot facility boasts over 12 tons of weight equipment and lines of Nautilus and Hammer Strength machines. The vast amount of equipment allows the weight room to be used by a number of teams simultaneously. The plush atmosphere provides an interesting contrast to the physical exertion that takes place in the facility.

The Tiger Strength and Conditioning program is on the cutting edge of athletic sports enhancement. The multiple training methodologies utilized by the Clemson strength staff ensures that each athlete gets the maximum benefit from resistance training, speed development, nutritional consultation, and sports specific conditioning.

A staff of 12 trainers designs strength and conditioning programs that are sport specific. A threefold plan is implemented each time a yearly program is set in motion. Each coach will perform a need analysis, program development model and a periodization scheme complete with micro and macro cycles. The Dynamic and Conjugate method of training, which is a highly specialized and demanding form of resistance work, is also utilized for various sports.

Once the training programs have been finalized, the strength professional works closely with the head coach during the needs analysis, program development and implementation phases. Constant evaluation is essential to meet the program goals and objectives of the program. Annual sports critiques are performed by the staff to provide a checks and balance for the integrity of the program.

The awesome Tiger facility and professional training staff provide the expertise and motivation needed to excel as a student-athlete. As we often say at Clemson, working out is what you do up to 90% ‌..training is the last 10%.

62

Mission Statement The major goal of the Tiger Strength, Speed and Conditioning Program is to provide to our competitve athletes the means by which they develop attitude, work ethic, mental toughness, discipline and pride, in-self and total program.

Athletes will train consistently, sensibly, and systematically over a designed and designated period of time, in a safe, clean, and professional environment to prevent injuries and enhance performance.

We believe Strength, Speed and Conditioning is the key to a successful athletic career at Clemson University. We are always researching, developing and implementing strategies to give us the cutting edge to achieve peak performance.

ATHLETIC TRAINING

Clemson student-athletes in all sports now have the luxury of one of the top athletic training facilities in the nation. In the fall of 2000, the facility completed a $750,000 renovation and was renamed the Hoover Training Facility.

It is named in honor of Fred Hoover, who served as Clemson’s Head Athletic Trainer for 40 years. He has been inducted into the Clemson Athletic Hall of the Fame and the National Athletic Trainers Hall of Fame.

The spacious facility features the latest in athletic training needs.

There are offices for the employees and new taping tables, the latest in rehabilitation facilities, including stationary bikes, elliptical machines and an underwater treadmill, and a large hydro-therapy area.

The Hoover Athletic Training Facility is stateof-the-art in every aspect. It includes offices for staff and physicians, an orthopedic examination room, a conference room, and library. Best of all, the facility has plenty of space for all athletic training needs.

Danny Poole, Director of Sports Medicine at Clemson, was in need of more space before this new athletic training/rehabilitation room was built.

“This facility was in the planning stage for a while as we continued to grow as an athletic department,” Poole said. “We were allowed to design a facility to fit what was best for us.”

Because of the facility’s size, Athletic Trainers can now work on more athletes than ever before. The facility handles athletes from 16 of Clemson’s 19 sports.

Athletic trainers are present at 7:00 AM and stay until they aren’t needed any longer in the evening.

The athletic training staff includes seven full-timers, 15 students, and 10 graduate assistants that are kept busy year-round. One of its biggest advantages is the number of people who can be treated at the same time. This was enhanced over the past two years, as a total of three full-time assistants, two of whom worked previously as student assistants at Clemson, were added to Poole’s staff.

Clemson’s main athletic training facility is located in the downstairs portion of the Jervey Athletic Center, next to the equipment room and beneath the coaching and administrative offices of the Tiger athletic department.

Along with the main facility, the sports medicine staff operates three satellite athletic training rooms located in Littlejohn Coliseum, Doug Kingsmore Stadium, and Riggs Field. In addition, a second state-of-theart athletic training facility recently opened in the West End Zone at Memorial Stadium.

CLEMSON UNIVERSITY

COMPLIANCE

This brief NCAA rules education is aimed at outlining basic recruiting rules to help potential Tiger studentsathletes and parents better understand the extensive process. Clemson University is committed to recruiting and conducting our athletic program with the highest level of integrity. If you have questions about NCAA rules, please contact Clemson’s compliance services at (864) 656-1580 or through our website at ClemsonTigers.com and click on compliance.

A prospect should check with his high school guidance office to see if he is taking classes that will meet NCAA eligibility standards. A prospect should do this early - prior to his sophomore year - and keep track of core courses. A prospect will need to take either the ACT or SAT for NCAA certification.

- NCAA rules define a contact as a face-toface interaction with a prospect and/or his parents off Clemson’s campus by a coach. During your senior year of high school, NCAA rules allow a coach to make three contacts with you and your parents at any site.

- Courses at a prospect’s high school that are considered college preparatory. The NCAA requires 16 core courses, including four in English, three in math, two in science, one additional from English, math, or science, two social sciences, and four additional courses. A high school prospect’s guidance counselor will have a list of the school’s core courses, or you can visit the NCAA Eligibility Center’s website at NCAAClearinghouse.net for more information.

- During the contact period, a senior prospect may invite college coaches to his home to meet his parents, and to talk in detail about the athletic program and academic offerings at any college the prospect is considering.

- Prior to September 1 of a prospect’s junior year, NCAA rules allow Clemson to mail a questionnaire, NCAA educational information, and a summer-camp brochure to a prospect. After September 1 of the prospect’s junior year, coaches can provide a prospect with the following: personalized letters, media guide and copies of newspaper articles, instant messages and text messages. A prospect can receive a game program when he visits the Clemson campus.

- A term used to describe the process of acquainting a prospect with a college and the coaches of that college, who are striving to learn more about a prospect. Only coaches can recruit - no one else is permitted to persuade a prospect to play sports at a particular college.

- Any student who has entered the ninth grade. Once a person becomes a prospect, NCAA rules define how college coaches can interact with that prospect.

- Recruiting period when coaches may not have face-to-face contact with prospects on or off campus. Coaches may continue to telephone and write a prospect.

- A prospect must take the SAT or ACT before enrolling in college full-time. A prospect may take the SAT or ACT more than once and use the best subscore from different tests to achieve the highest score. Both Clemson and the NCAA Eligibility Center require scores to be reported directly from the testing agency. When registering for the test, list the Eligibility Center Code (9999) and Clemson (511 (SAT), 3842 (ACT)). Clemson University admissions requires students to present either an SAT or ACT writing score. The writing score will not be used to determine a prospect’s qualifier status.

- In April and May of a prospect’s junior year, coaches will come to a prospect’s high school, and review his athletic and academic credentials with his coach. In the fall, they may watch a prospect compete one time, but they will not have any contact.

- Clemson coaches can call a prospect after July 1 of a prospect’s senior year. A prospect can expect unlimited calls before his official visit and once the prospect has signed a National Letter of Intent.

JAMES F. BARKER

As an architect, James F. Barker is a rarity among major university presidents and he has often wondered why. He believes architecture is the ideal background for the challenges of university leadership, because it strikes the right balance between art and science, the creative, and the practical.

“I often tell people I learned everything from plumbing to poetry in architecture school, and I use every bit of that knowledge as president of Clemson University,” Barker said.

Add to that his love of sports and his college experience as a varsity athlete on Clemson’s track team, Barker is the total package.

A 1970 Clemson graduate, Barker became president in 2000 with a vision and a mandate from the Board of Trustees to lead Clemson into the top ranks of American public universities...an institution that attracts outstanding faculty and students, provides an unmatched educational experience, and helps drive innovation and economic development for the state of South Carolina.

During Barker’s presidency, the University has harnessed the competitive, can-do spirit of the Clemson family to help improve the quality of a Clemson education and the value of a Clemson degree.

It has climbed from #39 to #22 among public universities in the U.S. News & World Report, which also recognized Clemson in its 2009 guide as an “up and coming” institution.

In the last decade, Clemson has also: • been granted a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, America’s oldest and most prestigious undergraduate honor society in the arts and sciences.

• been recognized for value and affordability by Kiplinger’s and Smart Money magazine, and twice ranked #1 among the “Best Places to Work in Academia” by The Scientist magazine.

• developed and implemented an academic “Road Map” with eight emphasis areas aligned with South Carolina’s economic needs.

• created an Academic Success Center to help undergraduates learn and succeed. Freshmen retention rates have gone up and graduation rates have risen from 71 percent in 2001 to 78 percent in 2008.

According to the National Survey of Student Engagement, 91 percent of Clemson seniors would choose Clemson again.

• strengthened its cyberinfrastructure and information technology capabilities, and connected to national high-speed research networks.

• been ranked as high as #61 on the top-500 list of supercomputing sites.

• launched major education and research-based economic initiatives, including the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) in Greenville, the Center for Advanced Materials in Anderson County, and the Clemson University Restoration Institute in North Charleston, all in conjunction with the South Carolina Centers of Economic Excellence program.

• developed an innovative undergraduate research program called “Creative Inquiry,” which pairs small teams of students with a senior faculty member on multi-year voyages of discovery.

• created the Bridge to Clemson program to help students make the transition from the state’s technical/community colleges to Clemson.

• set new records for students applications (at both the undergraduate and graduate levels), private giving, externalresearch support, and study-abroad participation.

Working with state leaders and private industry partners, Barker has steered Clemson into a greater economic development role. The first phase of the CU-ICAR campus near I-85 is complete and graduate students in automotive engineering are studying at its Campbell Graduate Engineering Center. Leading the academic and research program are distinguished professors in endowed chairs supported by BMW, Michelin, and Tim-

ken. The R e s t o ra tion Institute is spearheading major research and public education efforts to improve watershed management and restore water quality in South Carolina.

Barker is a leading voice in higher education, not only in South Carolina but nationwide. He currently chairs the Division I Committee of the NCAA Board of Directors and delivered a keynote address at a symposium in Washington D.C. on global best practices in science & technology parks.

It was sponsored by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in cooperation with the Association of University Research Parks, as his topic was CUICAR. For his leadership, Barker has received the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina’s highest civilian honor, and The Cliff’s Business Person-of-theYear Award from Greenville Magazine. He has also received the James T. Rogers Meritorious Service Award from the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools.

As Clemson’s president, Barker remains committed to the classroom. Each spring, he is part of a team that teaches an undergraduate course exploring “a sense of place” in architecture, literature, and history.

In presenting Barker with the Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2005, Washington University Chancellor Mark Wrighton said, “James F. Barker has taken the architectural skills and knowledge required to design a building and applied them to the future of a university. His architect’s vision, collaborative instincts, and sense of place are rapidly pushing Clemson up through the ranks of the nation’s top public universities. He has become a leader in national academic circles by creating a new model of education, building interdisciplinary partnerships among the professional schools and the basic curriculum by tearing down artificial walls between disciplines.”

A native of Kingsport, TN, Barker earned his bachelor of arts degree from Clemson in 1970 and his master of architecture & urban design degree from Washington University in Saint Louis, MO in 1973. He and his wife Marcia have two sons and one grandchild.

TERRY DON PHILLIPS

On June 30, 2009, Clemson’s football staff moved into the West Endzone at Memorial Stadium. It was a day of physical exertion for a lot of coaches, but the Tiger football staff performed the strenuous activity with smiles on their faces because the move meant the completion of Phase II of the West Endzone project, a project that has brought the Clemson football facilities to among the best in the nation.

It was also a day that brought a smile to the face of Clemson Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips, who had been working toward that day before he arrived on campus seven years ago. The creation of the West Endzone facility is another in a long line of accomplishments for Phillips throughout his 30-year career in athletic administration.

Phillips’ vision for the West Endzone was to create a top-of-the-line facility for the football program, but at the same time have a positive effect on the total sports program. The facility at Memorial Stadium now creates more office space, new locker rooms, and training room and strength training facilities for the Olympic sports programs.

There have been many facility and infrastructure enhancements since Phillips came to Clemson and they have led to a quality all-around program.

In 2008-09, Clemson played in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, the NCAA Baseball Tournament, and a bowl game, one of just 13 schools nationally to participate in all three. It was also the first time Clemson had done that in 11 years.

The men’s basketball program reached the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year and finished in the top 25 of the final AP poll for the second straight year, a first in school history. The rowing program had a remarkable year, winning its first ACC Championship and the Varsity 4+ won the national title. The volleyball team played host to the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year and the women’s tennis team finished in the top 20 (#11) for the seventh straight year.

The baseball team won an NCAA Regional and had a #14 final ranking, the golf team finished #6 in the final Sagarin ratings, and the indoor track team finished 23rd at the NCAA Championships. Overall, six programs received team bids to NCAA Tournaments.

The Phillips Family

Athletic Director

Academically, 17 of the 19 programs were above the national average for public institutions in terms of APR scores. In the 2009 spring semester, the 15 programs had a 2.97 combined GPA, the highest on record for any semester and 54 percent of the student-athletes made the Academic Honor Roll.

These statistics and accomplishments were contributing factors to Phillips’ selection as one of the top-100 Most Influential Sports Educators in America in 2008, as named by The Institute for International Sport at the University of Rhode Island. The institute’s objective involved a four-year process and resulted in a list that spans scholars, Olympians, coaches, and other industry leaders “who have creatively and effectively used sport in the very best way as a means to educate and shape positive values.”

Phillips’ athletic career and academic pursuits epitomize that desire. Perhaps still the only Division I athletic director with both a doctorate and law degree, he uniquely blends the discipline and inspiration created on each side of campus. In his eighth year at Clemson, he has firmly put his imprint on the University and Tiger athletics by creating a balanced, positive environment for success that emphasizes academic integrity, student-athlete welfare, and competing at the highest levels with unequivocal NCAA compliance.

Phillips was recognized nationally for his performance at Clemson in June of 2006 when he was honored by NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics) as the 2005-06 GeneralSports Turf Systems Athletic Director-ofthe-Year for the Southeast Region of the FBS. He was one of just four FBS athletic directors honored at the annual convention in New Orleans, LA. Excellence in academics has been a constant on his resumé. He has an undergraduate degree from Arkansas (1970), a master’s degree from Virginia Tech (1974), a doctorate degree from Virginia Tech (1978), and a law degree from the University of Arkansas School of Law (1996). He is a member of the Arkansas Bar, American Bar Association, and Sports Lawyers Association.

Phillips remains a classroom presence by teaching a sports law section in Clemson’s Accountancy & Legal Studies department. In addition, he is past chair of the NCAA Division I Infractions Appeals Committee. He has written on diverse areas, such as antitrust and the NCAA, student-athlete welfare, alternative dispute resolution, and Title IX. His doctoral dissertation on Title IX involved a historical review of the law and was the first national study of Title IX implications on college athletic programs. This research spawned his intent and desire to study law.

Prior to coming to Clemson, Phillips served as athletic director at Oklahoma

WWW.CLEMSONTIGERS.COM

State. Football was transformed from a perennial losing status to defeating Oklahoma during five of the eight years he was associated with Oklahoma State (1994-02).

For this, he received the National Football Foundation Oklahoma Chapter Outstanding Contribution to Amateur Football Award in 2002. Additionally in 2006, he was named one of the top-25 most influential people in the history of Oklahoma State Athletics by GoPokes Magazine.

When it came to success on the field and in the classroom, Oklahoma State’s programs were among the Big 12’s best. The achievements of the program included two national titles in men’s golf, a men’s basketball Final Four appearance, two trips to the College World Series, 13 Big 12 titles, and 11 individual National Champions along with 53 academic All-Americans. Before leading Oklahoma State, Phillips served as senior associate athletic director at Arkansas from 1988-94.

He has served as athletic director at Liberty (1980-81) and Louisiana-Lafayette (1983-88).

He was an assistant athletic director at Missouri (1981-83) and began his administrative career in 1979 as an assistant athletic director at Florida.

Phillips began his career in college athletics coaching football. He started as a graduate assistant at Arkansas in 1970 and 1971. He moved on to Virginia Tech as an assistant coach (1971-78) before joining the ranks of athletic administration.

At Virginia Tech, he served on coaching staffs that included future Clemson Head Coaches Charley Pell and Danny Ford.

Winning has been on Phillips’ resumé since his playing days at Arkansas. He lettered on three Frank Broyles teams (1966,68,69), where he and his brother Loyd, an Outland Trophy winner, were starting defensive tackles, the first brother combination to start together under Broyles. Arkansas had a 27-5 record in the three years, played in two Sugar Bowl games, and played in the memorable 1969 National Championship game against Texas.

Phillips has two children, John Dennis (32) and Sarah-Jane (29), and three stepchildren, Meagan (20), a sophomore at Clemson and proud member of Tiger Band, Marshall (19), and Madison (17).

His wife Tricia is a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism and earlier enjoyed a career in athletics and development. She is now active in the Clemson and Seneca communities.

IPTAY

The IPTAY Scholarship Foundation, founded in 1934, was the first scholarship fundraising organization in college athletics. Its roots trace back to October 16, 1931 following a surprising 6-0 football loss to The Citadel. After the game, Captains Frank Jervey, Pete Heffner, Head Coach Jess Neely, and Assistant Coach Joe Davis met in a car outside the stadium in Florence, SC to discuss various ways Clemson could establish its football program to a competitive status.

For more information, call (864) 656-2115 or visit clemsontigers.com

Shortly after the meeting, Dr. Rupert Fike offered his help after corresponding with Jervey. Neely believed he could run a successful football team if he was provided a $10,000-a-year increase in scholarships. Initially, Jervey originally called for members to pay $30 a year, but Fike recommended a smaller dollar amount, which he believed would lead to more members. Fike challenged 1000 people to step forward and pay $10 a year to the organization, which is where the name IPTAY originated from (I Pay Ten A Year).

The purpose of IPTAY is “to provide annual financial scholarship support to the athletic department and to assist in every way possible to regain the high athletic prestige which rightfully belongs to Clemson.”

The hard work of Fike and his colleagues began to pay off in 1939, as the Tigers went to their first bowl game, the 1940 Cotton Bowl, where they defeated Boston College 6-3 and finished the season in the AP top-25 poll for the first time in school history. Coincidentally, IPTAY reached Neely’s $10,000 goal for the first time in 1939.

IPTAY has been the key in building and maintaining the outstanding facilities essential for Clemson to remain one of the top intercollegiate programs in the country. IPTAY has played a critical role in various construction projects and renovations throughout the athletic department. IPTAY was the first organization in the nation to build and fund an academic support facility built solely for educational support of student-athletes. Vickery Hall opened its doors to Clemson’s student-athletes in 1991 and has established itself as a nationally-recognized program for student-athlete support.

Today, IPTAY has nearly 24,000 donors, which includes almost 16,000 IPTAY members as well as 8,000 members of the Tiger Cub Club and Collegiate Club, who continue Fike’s mission of providing annual scholarships for Clemson’s studentathletes to ensure all 19 varsity sports annually obtain the maximum amount of scholarships offered by the NCAA.

Today, the organization continues its missions as it recently celebrated its 75th year of scholarship support for Clemson student-athletes. Under the department of external affairs, IPTAY will expand its organizational service to move toward a broader scope of full-service. This will include capital gifts, improved marketing plans, estate planning, and increasing our membership through our IPTAY Representative program.

For more information on IPTAY or determining other ways to contribute, please call the IPTAY office at (864) 656-2115 or log on to C l e m s o n Ti gers.com.

Head Swimming and Diving Coach Christopher Ip

Head Coach Christopher Ip

Head Coach Christopher Ip has put his fingerprints all over the Clemson Swimming and Diving programs during his first six seasons. Since joining Clemson in 2002-03, Ip has led both the men’s and women’s programs among the most well-rounded in the country. Ip’s programs routinely score highly in the pool and the classroom.

In the water, Ip has coached the Tigers to ten individual ACC titles, three relay titles, and seven Tigers to Honorable Mention All-American honors. In 2007-08, Ip’s women’s 200 free relay squad set an ACC meet record and pool record at the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center. Additionally, Michelle Parkhurst claimed three individual titles and swam on the aforementioned relay and was named the 2008 ACC Meet MVP. Ip has also coached 32 All-ACC selections, including six in 2007-08.

During his twelve semesters, Ip’s students have also achieved success in the classroom, with the men checking in at a 3.00 average GPA mark and the women at an impressive 3.33 clip. The women’s team puts an average of 28 students on the Clemson honor roll per semester, while the men contribute 14 students per semester. Both teams typically rank at the top of the Clemson Athletic Department and have garnered national attention for their high GPAs. The 2008-09 women’s squad ranked eighth in the nation in GPA to earn CSCAA All-American for the Spring 2009 semester. The men were also named All-American and ranked 36th in the nation.

During the 2008-09 season, the women had a strong year as Michell Parkhurst took home the ACC Championship in the 200 back for the second year in a row. The women’s 200 freestyle relay finished 15th at the NCAA Championships and earned Honorable-Mention All-America for each member. Two of his men set records in their events and the talented freshmen group added ten top times to Clemson’s record books.

The 2007-08 season was a sign of things to come, as the teams combined to win 20 dual meets. Six student-athletes were named to All-ACC squads and twelve were named Academic All-ACC. The men’s squad won 12 meets, leading the league and inching them within a few votes of a top-25 national ranking. Records fell consistently, with ten individual or relay records dropping during ACC championships. Ip also led Michelle Parkhurst to All-America honors in the 200 free.

The 2006-07 season marked big strides for both squads, with the men posting a 9-3 mark and 4-3 in the conference. The women went 10-5 and were 4-4 in the ACC. Several Tigers placed at the ACC meet, where the Tigers finished fifth overall for both the men and the women. The Tigers set four school records in 2006-07, and the previously mentioned ACC meet record.

During the 2005-06 season, the Lady Tigers finished strong as they won their last four meets to finish 5-6 (3-4 ACC). Clemson finished 6th at the ACC Championships, led by Kim Routh who won a gold and three silvers, as well as Michelle Parkhurst who picked up two silvers and a bronze. Parkhurst shattered both backstroke records for Clemson, while Routh broke her own school mark in the 1650 freestyle. The Lady Tigers went on to finish in a tie for 28th at the NCAA Championships.

Their total of 19 points was the third highest total of all the ACC women’s teams.

The men finished the season 5-5 (3-4 ACC), and placed seventh at the ACC Championships. The Tigers won the 2005 Nike Cup in Chapel Hill, and broke three school records in the process. Mark Vahle broke the 50 freestyle record (19.66), and qualified for the NCAA Championships, the fourth year in a row that the men’s team has sent a swimmer there.

Attila Ruszka also broke the 100 breaststroke record, and the 200 medley relay of Joel Johnson, Ruszka, Vahle and Regone broke the old mark.

The 2005-06 season was the first that the ACC picked an Academic All-Conference team, and Ip made sure that the Tigers were well represented. Eleven different swimmers and divers were named to the team, six for the Lady Tigers, and five for the men. The women ranked 20th in the nation with a 3.42 GPA, and placed five members on the NCAA Academic All-America team. Three of the five were freshman. The men ranked 55th in the nation, and had two athletes on the President’s list, and four more on the Dean’s list.

During the 2003-04 season, Ip’s men’s team posted a Clemson

36

single season record 13 dual meet wins and boasted the second best winning percentage (.844) in program history. Three swimmers competed at the 2004 NCAA Championships and two earned Honorable Mention AllAmerica honors for their performances. Ip’s men’s team posted the highest GPA on record for the program, recording a 3.26 cumulative team GPA for the spring semester.

In 2002-03, his first season with the program, Ip coached four athletes to appearances at the 2003 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships.

He also coached Mark Henly to his first ACC title in the 200 back and the Tiger women’s 200 medley relay team to a share of the ACC Championship in the event. Jenna Burtch was named a Verizon Academic All-American in 2003, while Eric Shulick garnered Academic All-America honors from the CSCAA for the season.

Prior to arriving at Clemson, Ip coached at Indian River Community College in Fort Pierce, FL for 13 seasons. Incredibly, the Swarthmore, PA native won the national championship in both men’s and women’s competition all 13 years he served as head coach at Indian River Community College, which still stands as the longest consecutive streak of national championships in any sport.

Ip has been honored as the National Coach of the Year at the junior college level for men’s swimming 10 times, including seven years in a row between 1992-98. He has been named the women’s National Coach of the Year four times and was named the National Coach of the Year in both the men’s and women’s swimming programs in 1998 and 2002.

Prior to his career at Indian River, Ip served as the Head Men’s and Women’s Swimming Coach at the University of Delaware. He led the men’s program to conference championships in each of his last two years (1988 and 1989). His 1988 team had a 10-1 dual meet record. The Delaware women’s program won the East Coast Conference title in 1989. Overall, his swimmers combined to win 42 individual East Coast Conference championship titles in his five years leading the program. Twelve of his swimmers were USS Senior National qualifiers.

Ip began his college coaching career as the men’s assistant coach at East Stroudsburg State in 1978, followed by two years as the assistant women’s coach at Springfield College before heading to Brown University in Rhode Island. The women’s program won the Ivy League Championship in 1984, his only season with the program.

Ip also has considerable international coaching experience. He served as head coach of the Jamaican National Swim Team for the 1994 World Games in Rome, Italy. He also coached the same team at the Commonwealth Games in Victoria, British Columbia that same year. In the spring of 1997 he was a member of the Venezuelan coaching staff for the FINA Short Course World Championships at Gothenburg, Sweden.

Many of his athletes have gone on to success at the Olympic level. He had a total of 10 athletes represent their respective countries in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, and the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. While a swimmer at Indian River, Ricardo Monasterio won the 1500 meter freestyle at the 1998 US Open and was the bronze medalist in the 1500 meter freestyle at the Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Canada.

In terms of administration, Ip has served two terms as NJCAA Swim Coaches Association President, and served in the Florida Swimming Association. He held the rank of assistant professor for 10 years.

He was named a Distinguished All-America swimmer twice. Ip earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in biology from East Stroudsburg State in 1978 and a Master of Science degree in exercise physiology from Springfield College in 1984. Ip is married to Dr. Loreto Jackson who is the Director of Student-Athlete Performance at Clemson. They reside in Clemson with their two yellow labs, River and Newt.

Who has had the greatest influence on you in the swimming world?

My parents were the perfect swim parents who opened all the doors of opportunity for me. They let me take my competitive journey solo and they enjoyed sharing my ups and downs with me.

My coaches through the years gave me the foundation for my philosophies. My first summer club coach Millard Robinson sparked the fire for swimming.

He was a football coach who had the hands of a gorilla and the thick bow legged legs developed though numerous knee surgeries. I don’t think he could swim a lick but the pageantry, animation, and enthusiasm that he bought to the competition venue had me hooked.

My college coach was Bill Livingood. Coach brought the fun back into the sport. He gave me the incentive to always be in great shape and be a fit role model to our athletes. Coach had a standing challenge. If any one could beat him in a 50 backstroke we could get out of practice. During my four years we never missed a practice! During my final years on the team one of the first questions we ask a recruit was; “How fast is your 50 back?”

What does the term “student-athlete” mean to you?

The term fits into my philosophy of success by developing mind, body and spirit. It is someone who can challenge their creative academic queries, and push their physical bodies to the highest levels. Each person must find the balance between their academic and athletic success while maintaining solid spiritual support.

We love to race in practice. We like to place our swimmers in competitive situations where they must solve the puzzle quickly - whether it is the learning new dances move, playing twister, answering questions in trivial pursuit, hitting a fast ball in a batting cage or beach volleyball. We want our athletes to be competitive in any venue. They must learn to block out all outside distractions or self-imposed barriers and just immediately play the game. Our motto this season is: “Push The Tempo” and we want to push ourselves in anything we do from the classroom to the community to the pool.

What would you people outside the program to know about the Clemson Swimming and Diving program?

I want them to see that we are building a program.

We have built it step-by-step. If a student-athlete comes to Clemson and invests in our program, we invest in them and we grow. I think they will see that our students are succeeding academically. Hopefully, they see that we are building a solid program that is a stepping stone for each future program and we look out for the student-athlete all the way around.

How do you describe your coaching style?

Over the past 30 years of college coaching, I have developed an eclectic coaching style, and have worked to become a complete educator willing to adapt to new styles, techniques, and personalities. With an Exercise physiology background I have a scientifically based approach to the sport. But you must listen to your athletes and make it a mutual training regime if you want the best results.

What do you expect from the team?

How do you make an effort make sure your athletes succeed?

I am afraid that our student-athletes compare themselves to last year, and I want them to come in with an open mind and be willing to try new things. I want them to get out of their comfort zone and ask ‘what’s next?’ If this team is willing to open up their mind and take a step forward into the unknown, that will be what makes us successful.

First and foremost, we listen. Our staff works extremely hard to ensure that all members of our program feel integral and significant to

What you Need to Know About Clemson Diving A Q&A with Diving Coach Leslie Hasselbach How do you personally make sure your student-athletes excel in and out of the pool?

I have an open door policy meaning they can come and talk to me when they feel the need to do so no matter what the issue. Also, I learn how each of them responds to different types of training. From that point, I design individual types of workouts based on the needs of each diver. At the end of each practice, the divers touch base with me to discuss their overall impressions of their practice and how they felt during their workout.

Every Friday, we get together as a diving team and have “Tiger Talk”.

During this time, they are able to express how they feel about the week they just had and what lies ahead for next week. Also, I give them my feedback on their week of training and give them a glimpse of what to expect for the following week of training. As an athletic department, we hold our student- athletes to higher standards and we provide many support services opportunities for them to grow and develop into well-rounded individuals who are prepared to tackle the real world beyond graduation.

What are you looking for in potential student-athletes?

When looking for future Tiger Divers, ideally they need to possess strong academic skills and a sincere passion for the sport of diving. Platform diving is now a scored event in the ACC so; we are on the look out for those divers who compete on both 1m & 3m springboard as well as platform. Future Tigers also need to have a diligent work ethic, become a student of the sport, be willing to move up to their desired potential and be a morning person (or at least learn how to be a morning person!) :-) Clemson is a very special place. However, it is up to the prospective student-athlete to choose the right fit for them.

How would your student-athletes describe your coaching style?

My athletes would say that I am the type of coach that cares about them as a person and athlete. I push and challenge them to be the best they can be both in the pool and out of the pool because they need to be balanced in all areas of their lives. At practice I am highly critical of their diving, but I always give them positive feedback and follow up with what they need to correct for the next dive. They especially enjoy it when I create new conditioning exercises and routines for them in order to break up the monotony of training. Each day presents new and different challenges in the Tiger Diving Well.

How are you able to incorporate freshmen into Clemson Diving?

Freshmen are an integral part of our program. They bring new life and different and exciting challenges to the program. As coaches, we have a mission to get to know the new members of our Tiger family and help to make them feel a part of the whole group. There is usually a learning curve Describe the interaction between the swimmers and divers at Clemson. involved in the transition period for all freshmen.

Assistant Coach Derek Perkins Derek Perkins

Sprint Free/ Sprint Stroke Specialist

Derek Perkins is entering his first season as an assistant coach with the Tigers. Head Swimming and Diving Coach Chris Ip announced his addition on July 7. Perkins graduated from the University of Kentucky in 2003 and is brings a lot of experience to the Clemson staff.

“We are excited to bring Derek Perkins onboard our coaching staff,” said Ip. “Derek is a young, up and coming collegiate coach.

He has been a part of two National Championship campaigns at Emory University for swimming and diving. It takes a strong staff, determined to place high standards and a philosophy of solid character building to mold a team into National Champions. Derek will bring that experience to our program along with his Dartfish video analysis forte and strong individualized coaching style. He will join efforts with recruiting coordinator, Lance Asti to open the doors for higher caliber student-athletes to Clemson.”

40

After graduating from college, Perkins was the head coach at Lexinton Catholic High School in Lexington, KY for a year. During that year he lead the team to a third place finish in the Kentucky State meet and coached and individual state champion in the 50 freestyle.

Perkins then became a member of the Transylvania coaching staff from 2003 to 2004. There he helped lead the team to their first ever conference championship. During his two years there, the swimming and diving team set ten team records and placed in the top four at NAIA’s.

Most recently, Perkins has been the assistant coach at Emory University where he was the primary sprint coach for five years.

There he coached back-to-back Division III National Championship teams in 2005 and 2006. He also served as recruiting coordinator at Emory and helped manage all aspects of the program including travel, camps, and strength and conditioning. During his time at Emory, Perkins coached twelve individual nation event champions, four relay national event champions, fifty-eight All-Americans and fifty-five conference champions. He also saw ninety-three school records broken while coaching there.

One of his greatest areas of strength comes with using Dartfish software, a program that can be used to enhance training.

Perkins worked the Swim with the Stars Camp in 2006 and 2007 where he was the Dartfish Technician for them.

Assistant Coach Mallory Pucci Mallory Pucci

Middle-Distance Free/ Stroke Groups

Mallory Pucci enters her second season as an assistant coach at Clemson. Pucci graduated from George Mason University on August 9, 2008 and made the quick transition to the swimming and diving staff for 2008-09 season.

Ip said, “We are extremely pleased to have Mallory on our coaching staff. She brings a new dimension to our Swimming and Diving program as we move toward our goals both academically and athletically. A tremendous student-athlete herself, Mallory’s expertise ha strengthened our educational approach to coaching by using the latest technologies to give the most technical feedback possible to succeed.”

In her first year, Pucci didn’t waste any time getting settled.

She immediately saw outstanding results as she led Kyle Shoemaker to a school record in the 100 Breast (54.86) and huge drops in the 100 Fly (:48.18) at the ACC Championship. She also led Seth Broster to 3 All-Time Top 10 swims (50 Free :20.45, 100 Free :44.36, 100 Fly 48.05) and Kelli Fowler to an outstanding 7 second drop in the 200 Back over the season. Pucci’s athletes contributed to a school record in the 400 Medley Relay at the ACC Championship.

A Raleigh, NC native, Pucci has put together a well-rounded resume in a short time, and while this is her first full-time coaching job, the responsibilities will be far from entry-level. Pucci adds a national dimension to the staff. Her most recent internship was with Club Wolverine, a nationally renowned swim club, known best for turning out Michael Phelps.

Pucci spent the summer of 2007 working at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado as an intern with the sport science training and performance program in the

Pucci here with sister Lisa, a senior at Georgia Tech USA Swimming National Team Division. She was responsible for assisting USA Swimming with the implementation and logistical support of technical programs designed to support National Team athletes and coaches as they prepared for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China.

In addition to her internships, Pucci was a member of the George Mason Swimming team for four years in freestyle and butterfly events.

Assistant Coach Jon Mengering Jon Mengering Distance Free/ CAT Coach

Jonathan “Big Show” Mengering is entering his second year as an assistant coach for the Tigers. Mengering was a member of the Clemson swimming and divng team from 2005-06 where he had a very successful career. Mengering ranks in the Top-Ten in Clemson history in the 200 free(10th), 500 free (2nd), 1000 free (5th), 1650 free (4th), and 800 free relay (2nd).

“We are excited to have Jon “Big Show” back for his second year of coaching,” said Head Coach Christopher Ip. “He brings the unique strength of being a former Tiger athete to our coaching ranks. Big Show understands what it takes to represent Clemson University as a student-athlete linking the traditions and the team pride needed to compete in the ACC conference.”

During his first year as assistant coach, Mengering’s experience and enthusiasm led a young group of distance swimmers into Clemson’s record books. On the women’s side, Cassy LaRussa ranks in the top ten at Clemson in the 500 free (4th), 1000 free (7th), and the 1650 free (2nd). Sarah Smith also made her way into the top ten in the 1650. He also helped guide the 800 freestyle relay to a Clemson record.

For the men, David Gordon ranks in the top ten at Clemson in the 500 free (5th), 1000 free (4th) and 1650 (7th). He also ledfreshman Will Clark into Clemson’s top ten in the 500 free (7th) and 1650 free (9th).

Mengering is also the head coach of the The Clemson Aquatic Team (CAT), a not-for-profit, volunteer-based, year-round swim team serving the Greater Clemson area. Established in 1978, CAT is a member of USA Swimming (USAS) and SC Swimming and is the community partner of Clemson University Swimming and Diving (CUSD).

Mengering earned his degree in physics and worked in a graduate assistantship with the physics department toward a Master’s degree.

He was named to the ACC Honor Roll in the 200203 and 2003-04 academic years.

“His relationship with the team bridges the gap between coach and athlete as we all take the journey towards our goals.

There is always something special and empowering when a former studentathlete wants to give back to their University.”

2009-10 Season Preview Last season was a rebuilding year for the men’s squad as they coped with losing 13 seniors. With such a young team it was a challenge to match the season the men had the year before. A disappointing last place finish in the ACC has made this year’s men’s squad hungry to prove what they are made of.

“Last year we lost about 13 guys but we were able to bring in a top 25 recruiting class. We knew it would be tough to replace those guys no matter what.

When you bring in a 17 year old freshman male, they are not going to be able to compete against a 21/22 year old veteran. We were not happy with our ninth place finish, but on a positive note that top 25 class is one year older, one year more mature, and a lot stronger.”

With the loss of only four seniors from the 2008-09 squad, the men should find themselves in very good shape for the 2009-10 season. Even though Clemson did not get a large recruiting class this year, Head Swimming and Diving Coach Christopher Ip feels that this is an elite class that can really make an impact. “Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator Lance Asti did a great job of finding guys that would fill the holes we needed to fill,” said Ip. “They are a small class but it is elite and I am excited with what we are going to do this year with that team.”

They have brought in one of the top sprint freestyle recruits in Eric Bruck who was an Olympic qualifier and is the Kentucky state record holder in the 50 freestyle. Also coming in will be Andrew Abeysinghe, who has seen national cuts in several events and will help in events that were weaker last year, Alex Morres, a breast stroke specialist and Marcus Elliot, who will help in the sprint fly and freestyle events.

Ip is also optimistic that last years top 25 recruiting class will come into their own now that they have a year of collegiate experience under their belt. “Those guys got to see a lot of action as freshman so that opportunity will pay off for the men as they are much more experienced than other freshman around the league,” says Ip This season will bring plenty of opportunity for the men as they work to improve on last season’s finish. “After last year they are hungry. Sometimes it is a wake-up call when you drop down in the conference and don’t meet your expectations and goals. I think they are very competitive, there has been good banter going on all summer long. They don’t want to be at the bottom of the conference again. We have the capability to move up and I know these guys want it.”

Now that the men’s team has more experience on their side they will look to improve upon their ninth place finish last season. Ip and his team have set themselves up for a season with a lot of potential.

All-time top 10 in the 50 last season. Oliver is currently eighth and Broster is ninth. Also being added to the 50 freestyle mix will be highly touted freshman Eric Bruck who is coming in as the fastest sprint recruit in the ACC. His best time in the 50 would have given him a top 16 place last season in the ACC Championships. The same men from the 50 will compete in the 100 with the addition of sophomore Chris Dart who had an exceptional season last year for the Tigers. Broster was able put up a top 16 time in the 100 last season as a freshman and his time ranks fifth in Clemson history.

The 200 is an event that will need some work as the men’s squad lost their two best performers in Brian Possee and Dan Mengering who were both ranked in the top - Head Coach Chris Ip 10 All-time at Clemson. The Tigers are relying heavily on junior David Gordon to come back healthy and prepared so that he can lead the group in that event. Helping him out will be sophomores Scott Clary and Lee Groseclose.

The distance freestyle events will primarily be lead by upperclassmen David Gordon, Will Clark, and Alex Carr. Each of these guys had exposure in the ACC’s last season and that will help them to understand the competition they are up against.

Gordon and Clark both rank in the top 10 at Clemson with Gordon fifth and Clark seventh. Gordon also finds himself in the top 10 All-time at Clemson in the 1000 and 1650 free, and Clark has made his way into the top 10 in the 1650 as well.

“We have the capability to move up and I know these guys want it.”

Backstroke The backstroke will be a strong event for the men’s squad as they are returning Tom Recko, who was the runner-up in last years ACC Championships in the 200 backstroke. Recko is first in Clemson history in both the 100 and 200 backstorke.

Behind him will be Chris Dart who placed in the top 16 at the ACC Championships with a time of 48.62 in the 100 and sits second in that event in Clemson history. Freshman Andrew Abeysinghe will also see time in this event as well as senior Ja-

Freestyle The sprint freestyle events were greatly affected by the loss of the 2007-08 senior class, however now that last year’s freshman have experience on their side this event could be a strength for the Tigers. Returning will be sophomores Myles Oliver, Seth Broster, and Chris Reinke who all scored for the Tigers last season. Both Oliver and Broster cracked Clemson’s

Junior co-captain Kyle Shoemaker

2009-10 Season Preview son Chatlosh.

The 200 back will be a similar line-up as the 100 with Recko putting in a top eight time, and Dart top 16. Dart is currently third in the 200 at Clemson and Chatlosh is eighth. Abeysinghe’s best time in the 200 would rank him in the top 10 at Clemson as well.

Breaststroke The breaststroke will suffer with the loss of senior Eric Lane. Lane holds the Clemson record for the 100 breaststroke.

However, right behind him in second is junior Kyle Shoemaker who competed at the World Trials over the summer in this event. “Kyle is going to be one of those guys that has been under the radar in the past,” says Ip. “He is absolutely having a breakout year. He went to World Trials and dropped his time and his confidence is really starting to grow.” Helping him out will be freshman Alex Morres whose best time in the 200 breast would put him eighth all-time in Clemson history. “The breaststroke core may be small, but they are full of talent,” says Ip.

“Pat Chamberlain had a great summer of training and competing in US Diving meets. He is coming in ready to make an impact during his freshman year.”

The men’s squad may be small, but there is a lot of talent there. David Giambra has already broken all of the Clemson diving records and will likely continue to prove his talent during the 2009-10 season.

“I am excited for the men’s diving team to achieve greatness during the 2009-10 season. They have a lot of potential and it will be fun to watch them,” says Hasselbach.

Butterfly The butterfly events will be led by the veterans. Returning in the 100 fly will be top 16 performers Seth Broster and Kyle Shoemaker. Broster and Shoemaker are ranked fifth and sixth respectively in Clemson history and Jason Chatlosh will also compete in the 100 and is ranked tenth at Clemson. The 200 butterfly will feature three veterans who all rank in Clemson’s top 10 David Gordon (2nd), Joe Knecht (3rd), and Matt Angelini (6th). All three also had top 16 times last season at the ACC Championships.

Individual Medley Both medleys will be led by senior Matt Angelini who ranks fifth at Clemson in the 200 and second in the 400. He also posted a top 16 time in the 400 last season at the ACC Championships. He will be aided by sophomore Chris Dart and junior Joe Knecht in both of the medley events. Dart swam a tenth best time at Clemson with a 1:50.74 in the 200 IM. Clemson will add freshman Andrew Abeysinghe to the mix as well.

Diving Diving Coach Leslie Hasselbach will have a great asset coming back this season with the return of David Giambra. Giambra is the school record holder in both one-meter and three-meter diving events and he is coming off an extremely successful season where he tallied zone scores in both events.

“David has been diving all summer and just came off a very successful junior year,” says Hasselbach. “He is ready to finish his career here in style.” Giambra has set himself up to become one of the greatest divers at Clemson and could really improve upon that status during his senior season.

Giambra will have help from freshman Pat Chamberlain who will be filling the spot left by senior Ryan McDaniel who graduated after last season. Chamberlain will look to make an impact right away.

Both the sprint and distance freestyle events are taking a hit with the loss of the 2008-09 senior class. Rachel Regone graduated as the record holder in the 50 freestyle and was the top performer for Clemson in the 100 freestyle. Senior and cocaptain Alex Allen will be the most formidable threat at the 50 free with her best time being third in Clemson history. She was also a member of the Honorable Mention All-American 200 freestyle relay team from last season. Behind Allen will be three freshmen; Meg Anderson, Kelsey Krauss, and Heather Savage, who have the potential to be strong in the sprint events.

In the mid-distance freestyle, the Tigers will try to replace two-time defending ACC Champion Michelle Parkhurst with a corps of talented freestlyers. Parhurst is also the school record holder as well as the ACC record holder in the 200 free.

Sophomore transfer Amelia Messegee will step in right away in the 100, 200, and 500 events. Mixed in with Messege will be freshmen Kristen Redmond and Tori Cervone. Also helping out will be junior Rachel Hesler and senior Joanna Rakoczy.

The distance freestyle will also be missing its top performer from last season in Cassy LaRussa. LaRussa had Clemson’s top times in the 500, 1000, and 1650 free and is in the top

She also finds herself in the top 10 in Clemson history for the breaststroke events as she is tenth in the 100 and third in the 200. Senior cocaptain Carmen Groenewoud will also be a valuable contributor in both events. Clemson will rely mostly on their veterans for the breaststroke events, but freshmen Laura Browning and Garrison Stevens will add some depth for the Tigers.

Butterfly The 100 butterfly could be very strong for the Tigers as they are returning four swimmers ranked in the top 10 in Clemson history. Meggie Mizelle is the leading returner for the group as she is ranked third in the 100 butterfly and fourth in the 200 at Clemson. She will have help from freshman Tori Cervone, whose best time would have been top 16 in the ACC. Cervone was the state champion in the 200 fly for New Jersey and was also named Woman-of-the-Year in New Jersey. Clemson will also have help from Heather Savage, Kelsey Krauss, Kristen Redmond, and Kelly McGee in the butterfly events.

The biggest hope for the Tigers will be sophomore Maddie Tarantolo. If she can have a breakout year, Clemson will have a very strong nucleus of flyers, as she was an Olympic Trial participant last year. With a year of experience under her belt, the staff believe she can come into her own this season.

Individual Medley Senior Katrina Obas returns as the leader in the 200 IM from a season ago. She will have help from fellow senior and co-captain Carmen Groenewoud, as well as Elizabeth Savage, Kerry McLaughlin, and Maddie Tarantolo. Savage will also compete in the 400 IM where she is currently ranked fifth in Clemson history. Senior Mandy Snell was a pleasant surprise in the 400 IM last season and will be a strong competitor in the event this season. Groenewoud, Obas, and McLaughlin will round out the 400 IM group for the upperclassmen while Sarah Andrews and Tori Cervone will show their versatility for the freshmen. Cervone is coming in with a best time of 4:19.20 in the 400 IM and that would have put her eighth at the ACC Championships.

Diving The Clemson Women’s Diving team will return a lot of experienced student-athletes for the 2009-10 season. The team lost senior Ali Zacker and is ready for the upcoming season.

Diving Coach Lesslie Hasselbach is looking forward to a lot of success with the return of so much experience and skill.

“We have three competitive divers returning. Stephanie Fura is healthy and ready to compete in her final year here.

We are also returning Brooke George and Cassie Self, who had great freshmen seasons and I expect great success out of both of them during their sophomore year. We are also bringing in freshman Elizabeth Tatum, who has been training hard over the summer and competed in several US Diving meets.”

Fura is coming back as the school record holder in the three-meter diving and is fourth at Clemson in one-meter Diving. Sophomores Cassie Self and Brooke George both put up zone scores in one-meter Diving and Self also posted a zone score on three-meter last season. George put up scores that placed her second at Clemson in one-meter diving and fifth in the three-meter, while Self ’s top scores put her sixth and fourth respectively.

2008-09 in Review: Men The 2008-09 season was one of change for the men’s swimming and diving team as they were rebuilding from a loss of 13 seniors the season before. With the loss of such a strong senior class the men’s team was full of youth and struggled during the season to fill some of the holes that were left. The great recruiting class had brought in a lot of talent that was able to gain experience at the collegiate and ACC level quickly.

The men’s team went 2-8 overall and 0-7 in the ACC to finish ninth in the conference. It was a year of learning and gaining experience as they coped with the loss of so many seniors and even though it was tough for the team, it gave the 20th ranked recruiting class a chance to gain experience that most other freshman in the league did not get.

Freshmen Seth Broster and Myles Oliver stepped up in the sprint freestyle events as both of them swam their way into Clemson’s All-time top 10 in the 50 freesyle with Oliver ranked eighth and Broster ninth. Broster also made his way into Clemson’s top ten in the 100 freestyle with his leadoff split time of 44.35 in the ACC Championships.

Broster and Oliver teamed up with fellow freshmen Chris Reinke and Chris Dart for the 400 freestyle relay in which they were able to rank second in Clemson history. They also were on the 400 Medley Relay team with junior Tom Recko and senior Eric Lane that ranks first in Clemson history.

Chris Dart had a standout season as a freshman last year.

In his rookie year Dart put himself second at Clemson in the 100 backstroke, third in the 200 backstroke and was a member of the 400 freestyle relay that is second in Clemson history.

Senior Eric Lane made his mark on Clemosn history as he set the school record in the 100 breaststroke at the ACC Championships and is ranked fourth in the 200.

Clemson had a great showing at the ACC Championships from junior Tom Recko who finished as the runner-up in the 200 backstroke.

He also set the school record in the 100 and 200 backstroke but just missed qualifying for the NCAA Championships.

David Giambra continued to break records in diving as he became the record holder at Clemson in the platform, one-meter and three-meter events.

Clemson was unable to send any men to the NCAA Championships, but this upcoming season holds a lot of promise as this young group matures.

2008-09 in Review: Women The 2008-09 Women’s swimming and diving team put together another great season with the leadership from the 12 seniors. Last season’s team featured some of the most accomplished swimmers that Clemson’s program has seen. The Tigers finished the season with an overall record of 6-4 and went 4-3 in the ACC. They also went to the NCAA Championships and finished tied for 43rd in the nation.

Senior Michelle Parkhurst continued her excellence, as she was the ACC Champion in the 200 freestyle for the second year in a row. She also picked up a second place finish in the 200 free relay that included Rachel Regone, Lauren Sindall, and Alex Allen. That relay team went on to finish 15th at the NCAA Championships to earn honorable-mention All-American for each of those women.

Parkhurst also competed in the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke at the NCAA Championships. Freshman Kelli Kyle also traveled to the NCAA Championships to compete in the 100 backstroke. Katrina Obas made her mark in the Clemson record books during the 2008-09 season as she set the schoool record in the 100 and 200 breaststroke.

Rachel Regone also made her mark on Clemson’s record books as she improved her 50 freestyle time to make her the school record holder. She also set a personal best in the 100 freestyle, to leave her ranked second in Clemson history. She not only set records in the pool but in the classroom as well when she was honored with a NCAA Post-graduate Scholarship. Regone graduated from Clemson with a 4.0 GPA. Regone was among many of the women who were named to the All-ACC Honor Roll which means they had a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

The women’s swimming and diving team finished first in team GPA at Clemson among the women’s team as well as overall.

They were also recognized by collegswimming.com when they were named a Scholar All-American team. The Clemson women were

History of Clemson Men’s Swimming and Diving March 29, 1919--Georgia Tech defeated the Tigers 45-19, at Clemson. This was the first ever Swimming and Diving Meet for the Tigers. The early swimming teams swam in the basement of the Holtzendorff YMCA building.

1934-35--Clemson finished the season with a 6-2 record overall and a third place finish in the Southern Conference meet. The Tigers also had an 11-5 record overall in the 1933-34 and 1934-35 seasons.

March 3-4, 1939--Clemson won the Southern Conference men’s swimming Championship. The Tigers were coached by P.B. Holtzendorff, Jr. His son P.B. Holtzendorff, III, was the star at the meet as he set records in the 100 and 50 yard dashes. The 300-yard medley was also won by Clemson.

The members of this 300-yard medley relay team included Benton Young, John McKnight, and Ben McKnight. Benton Young, Jr. was the captain of the team and was undefeated in his last two years of competition setting a new record at the 1939 Southern Conference meet in the 150-yard backstroke. This was a significant improvement, as Clemson had finished last in the Southern Conference meet in 1938.

December 4, 1975--Clemson defeated Furman 72-41 in the first meet at Fike Natatorium in the remodeled Fike Field House.

January 14, 1984--Clemson’s Fike Natatorium was dedicated and named the Carl McHugh Natatorium in honor of the former Clemson swimmer and long-time coach.

Not only was he the swimming coach, he taught Engineering Graphics and was Director of the Engineering Learning Service.

February 25-27, 1988--Dave Hrovat won the one-meter and three-meter diving events and was named the ACC Meet’s Most Valuable Diver.

January 21, 1989--Clemson defeated N.C. State 150-93 for its11th dual meet win of the season. This is the school record for most wins in a season as the Tigers finished 11-4.
