“LSU laid the groundwork for me being a professional in the way the school is run and the professors. Off the field, I learned to be a good person. On the football field, it is the training, the hard work and the dedication. LSU teaches you everything you need to be successful.” - Andrew

LIFE

LSU’s Memorial Tower (top main photo) was one of the first structures completed on the present campus and sits east of the quadrangle (above, left). It represents the University as a memorial to those who gave their lives during World War I. Although it currently houses the LSU AngloAmerican Art Museum, plans are in process to return Memorial Tower to a military museum as originally intended. The University lakes (above, right) on the LSU campus give various recreational options.

Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College has, throughout its 147year history, served the people of Louisiana, the region, the nation, and the world. LSU is creating a revolution, one of pervasive change and advancement. For the past seven years, the focus of the LSU community has been an increased commitment to excellence. Our progress has been dramatic and shows no sign of stopping.

Having witnessed many of yesterday’s possibilities become today’s tangible realities, the LSU community set forth to capitalize on its success. The goal was to improve our standing as a nationally competitive flagship university.

Following intense discussions among the LSU Board of Supervisors, campus administrators, faculty, and student leaders, the objectives required to reach this status crystallized, providing the impetus for LSU’s National Flagship Agenda.

Paige Brown Diver (2004-08) 2008 SEC Champion SEC McWhorter Finalist

“When I first set foot on the LSU campus, I loved the atmosphere. The campus was beautiful, and everyone from the coaches to the professors had really impressed me. I did have hesitations before I came on my initial visit, but as soon as I got here, I realized I belonged at LSU.” “It was really quite an honor to be able to play for LSU. Being from Lockport, everybody down there is a big LSU fan. Once I graduated from high school and had to make the decision where I was going to play, LSU was the obvious choice because I had grown up an LSU fan and it was a place where my family could watch me play. LSU really helped me grow both as a player and a person. I have nothing but fond memories of the place.”

“I was basically an in-state guy and had always thought about going to LSU for football and to get a good education. I made a lot of visits to different schools in my selection process, but everything always pointed toward LSU. My heart and my family guided me in that direction not just for the athletics, but for the academics as well. From top to bottom LSU has good people from the coaches on down the line.”

Tommy Hodson Quarterback (1986-89) All-SEC

Bradie James Linebacker (19992002) Dallas Cowboys

“LSU is my home. It was a place where I made my name and a place where I was able to come here and have fun. It was the best three years of my life. While you are here, have fun and become a master of time management. You need to do what you have to do to make it. Work hard. I have been blessed. Baton Rouge is the place that helped me become who I am.

I will never forget this place.”

Shaquille O’Neal LSU Basketball Player (198992) Four-time NBA Champion

Dr. Tommy Karam and Dr. Shirley White are two experts in the field who give training sessions to student-athletes here on campus. The Academic Center features a mock press conference setting to get student-athletes acclimated to giving interviews in front of both print and electronic media. Karam and White record the mock interviews on camera and then provide feedback, allowing student-athletes to become more comfortable and confident when doing actual interviews.

LSU Natatorium

LSU Natatorium Opened in the summer 1985, the LSU Natatorium has served as the exclusive home of the swimming and diving teams for the past 26 seasons.

The complex features a 50-meter pool, which can be converted into two 25-meter or 25-yard pools with the use of bulkheads. Furthermore, the facility houses a championship diving well, which was completely renovated in the summer 2003 with one- and three-meter springboards and five-, seven- and 10-meter platforms.

The programs added new graphics and signage throughout the venue in the fall 2011 and upgraded the scoring system in the fall 2008, unveiling a pair of state-of-the-art videoboards. Refurbished locker rooms were also completed in

September 1998. The spacious locker rooms feature separate varsity lockers, both for men and women, and include public showers and locker areas.

The facility has played host to several national competitions, including the 1985 National Sports Festival, the 1986 Men’s Southeastern Conference Championships, the 1987 NCAA Diving Regional and the U.S. Diving National Championships in the spring 1987. The Natatorium was also the host facility during the 1999 NCAA Regional Diving Championships.

Last season both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving squads posted fifth place finishes at the SEC Championships. The second consecutive top-five finishes for both teams bodes well

LSU

for the future of the program.

LSU returns six women and two men who qualified for the NCAA Championships, including NCAA AllAmerican Honorable Mention divers Alex Bettridge and Daniel Helm and distance swimmer Craig Hamilton.

In addition to a strong recruiting class, four athletes named to the All-SEC Freshman team return to solidify the team’s core.

The landmark is located immediately north of the LSU Field House and can comfortably accommodate 2,200 spectators.

Admission to all LSU swimming and diving meets is free.

The Preservation of Tiger Stadium

In August 2010, LSU Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva and the Tiger Athletic Foundation launched a campaign to preserve and restore the look of Tiger Stadium. The project included replacing all 428 windows on the North end of the stadium as well as creating new entrances on the North and West Stadium plazas.

In the spring of 2012, plans were unveiled to expand the South End Zone, raising the stadium’s capacity to over 100,000. Construction on the South End Zone expansion will begin in the fall of 2012 and be completed prior to the 2014 season.

“Tiger Stadium is one of the most iconic venues in all of college sports. Tiger fans have grown up there, made friends there, cheered there and cried there. The memories are endless. That is why the preservation of the home of the Tigers is so important.” - Joe Alleva, Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics

2012-13 SWIMMING & DIVING MEDIA GUIDE

50 Bob Pettit

Pettit led LSU to its first NCAA Final Four in 1953 and he later became the first player in NBA history to exceed the 20,000-plus point barrier. Pettit is a member of the NBA Hall of Fame, and in 1997, he was named as one of the top 50 players in NBA history.

23 Pete Maravich

“Pistol Pete,” Maravich still holds the NCAA record for career points with 3,667 and for career scoring average with 44.2 points a game. He was selected the National Player of the Year in 1970 after leading the Tigers to the NIT Final Four. He scored 50-plus points an amazing 28 times. He went on to a 10-year professional career and was selected as one of the NBA’s 50 greatest players in 1997.

20 Billy Cannon

One of the true legends of college football in the South, Cannon was the 1959 Heisman Trophy winner and helped the Tigers to the 1958 national title. Cannon’s most memorable performance came in 1959 against Ole Miss when No. 1 LSU trailed No. 3 Ole Miss 3-0 in the fourth quarter. He fielded a punt, broke seven tackles and returned it 89 yards for the 7-3 victory. He went on to a successful 11-year professional career.

33 Shaquille O’Neal

O’Neal was the first pick in the 1992 NBA Draft. He was named MVP of the league in 2000 and was a three-time NBA Finals MVP after leading the Los Angeles Lakers to three World Championships. At LSU, O’Neal averaged 21.6 points and 13.6 rebounds for his career, and in 1991, he was named the World’s Amateur Athlete of the Year as well as SEC Athlete of the Year and National Player of the Year. In 1997, he was named as one of the top 50 players in NBA history.

15 Skip Bertman

A legend in the college baseball ranks, Bertman created a dynasty at LSU, guiding the Tigers to five national titles in a 10-year stretch from 1991-2000. He also coached the United States to a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and was an assistant on the gold medal-winning U.S. squad in Seoul, Korea, in 1988. Bertman retired from coaching following the 2001 season and served as LSU’s athletics director for seven years. Bertman was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006.

About LSU Retired Jerseys The retirement of the jerseys of Casanova, McDonald, Macklin and Augustus comes under a new provision of the LSU jersey retirement bylaws that says the retirement of an athlete’s jersey in a particular sport does not preclude a current student-athlete in that sport from wearing the jersey number in that or any other sport, subject to the discretion of the head coach. This provision applies only to jerseys retired after January 1, 2007, so the numbers worn by Maravich, Pettit, O’Neal, Cannon and Bertman may never again be worn by future student-athletes in their respective sports. To have a jersey retired at LSU, an athlete must have completed intercollegiate competition for LSU a minimum of five years prior to nomination. Athletes must have demonstrated truly unusual and outstanding accomplishments, exceeding and in addition to all criteria used for Hall of Fame selection. Nominees must have a unanimous vote of support from the Hall of Fame committee.

Rudy Macklin

WORLD-CLASS TIGERS

Rudy Macklin was a two-time basketball All-American selection during his Tiger career from 1976-81 during which time he became LSU’s all-time leading rebounder with 1,276 boards and the second-leading scorer in school history behind only the legendary Pete Maravich with 2,080 points. He led the Tigers to two Elite Eight appearances and the 1981 Final Four in Philadelphia. He still holds the school single game rebound record with 32, a mark like some of the great records in any sport that may never be broken.

Tommy Casanova

Muna Lee • 20-time track All-American • Two-time Olympian

On the Prowl Mike the Tiger was recently ranked in the top three in a Bleacher Report poll of college football’s top live mascots. Mike’s habitat is one of the most visited attractions in the state of Louisiana located in the shadows of the north endzone of Tiger Stadium.

Mike THE TIGER History of Mike

Few mascots in the country are as admired as Mike the Tiger. LSU’s live Bengal mascot serves as the graphic image of all LSU athletic teams. The school has had six mascots, with the most recent, Mike VI, taking over the reign prior to the 2007 national championship football season.

LSU veterinarian Dr. David Baker began the search for the young tiger after his predecessor, Mike V, died in May 2007 of renal failure at the age of 17. The sevenyear-old Bengal/Siberian mix, formerly known as “Roscoe,” was donated to LSU by Great Cats of Indiana in Idaville, Ind., a nonprofit sanctuary and rescue facility for big cats and other large carnivores.

Mike’s ride through Tiger Stadium before home games in a travel trailer topped by the LSU cheerleaders is a school tradition. Before entering the stadium, his trailer on wheels is parked next to the opponent’s locker room in the southeast end of the stadium. Opposing players must make their way past Mike’s trailer to reach their locker room.

Tradition dictates that the Tigers will score a touchdown for every growl issued by Mike before a football game. For many years, Mike was prompted to roar by pounding on the cage. Objections of cruel punishment brought about the use of recorded growls

In the mid-1980’s, pranksters cut the locks on Mike IV’s cage and freed him in the early-morning hours just days before the annual LSU-Tulane clash. Mike roamed free, playfully knocking down several small pine trees in the area, before being trapped in the Bernie Moore Track Stadium where police used tranquilizer guns to capture and return the Bengal Tiger to his home.

The incident was reminiscent of a kidnapping of Mike I many years ago by Tulane students before a Tiger-Green Wave battle.

Mike I

The original Mike was purchased from the Little Rock Zoo in 1936 for $750, with money contributed by the student body. Originally known as “Sheik” at the time of his purchase, his name was changed to Mike to honor Mike Chambers who served as LSU’s athletic trainer when the first mascot was purchased. The first Mike was housed in the Baton Rouge Zoo for one year before a permanent home was constructed near Tiger Stadium.

Mike I reigned for 20 years before dying of pneumonia.

Mike’s Habitat In 2005, a new environment (above) was created for Mike that is 15,000 square feet in size with lush planting, a large live oak tree, a beautiful waterfall and a stream evolving from a rocky backdrop overflowing with plants and trees. The habitat has, as a backdrop, an Italianate tower - a campanile - that creates a visual bridge to the Italianate architectural vernacular that is the underpinning of the image of the entire beautiful LSU campus. This spectacular habitat features state-of-the-art technologies, research, conservation and husbandry programs, as well as educational, interpretive and recreational activities. It is, in essence, one of the largest and finest Tiger habitats in the United States.

The second Mike served a brief reign, lasting only through the 1957 season before dying of pneumonia in the spring of 1958.

He was born at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans and came to LSU on Sept. 28, 1956. The young tiger was held overnight in Tiger Stadium and unveiled Sept. 29, the opening day of the football season.

Just in time for the 1958 national championship season, Mike III was purchased from the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Wash., following a “national search” by then-athletic director Jim Corbett. The student body contributed $1,500 for the purchase of the tiger. Mike III served as mascot for 18 seasons, dying after the only losing season of his reign, as LSU posted a 5-6 record in 1975.

Mike IV reigned over Tiger athletics for 14 years after being donated to the school by August A. Busch III from the Dark Continent Amusement Park in Tampa, Fla, on Aug. 29, 1976. Born on May 15, 1974, Mike’s age and health were determining factors in his retirement to the Baton Rouge Zoo in 1990. Mike IV died of old age in March of 1995 at the age of 21.

Mike V was donated by Dr. Thomas and Caroline Atchison of the Animal House Zoological Park in Moulton, Ala. Dr. Sheldon Bivin of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine traveled to Alabama and brought the baby tiger back to Baton Rouge. Born Oct. 18, 1989, the new tiger was introduced to LSU fans at a basketball game against Alabama in February of 1990. He officially began his reign on April 30, 1990, when he was moved into the tiger habitat across from Tiger Stadium. Mike V died on May 18, 2007, at the age of 17.

Mike VI arrived in Baton Rouge on Aug. 25, 2007, thanks to the donation by Great Cats of Indiana. He was officially designated as the successor to Mike V on Sept. 8, when LSU played host to Virginia Tech. Six days later, on Sept. 14, 2007, a ceremony was held to honor Mike V and dedicate the habitat to Mike VI. The seven-year-old Bengal/Siberian mix, formerly known as “Roscoe,” reigned over a football national title in his first year and most recently, a 2011 Southeastern Conference championship and perfect regular season.

LSU

Vice Chancellor & Director of Athletics Joe Alleva LSU Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Joe Alleva continues to bring unprecedented national recognition to LSU as Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. Under Alleva’s leadership, LSU enjoys one of the country’s premier athletics programs with success on and off the field of competition. Now in his fifth year at LSU, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence, and is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for studentathletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. LSU’s prominence was evident in the final 2011-12 Capital One Cup standings that recognize the nation’s best athletic programs. With a national championship and three Southeastern Conference titles during the year, the Tigers finished fourth in both the men’s and women’s Capital One Cup competition, one of only two schools in the country – and the only one in the SEC -- to rank in the top four in both categories.

Alleva joined the LSU family on April 4, 2008 after a highly successful tenure as director of athletics at Duke University for 10 years. Alleva’s role at LSU was further expanded in August of 2009 when vice chancellor was added to his title by the LSU Board of Supervisors.

It is the first time in school history that the director of athletics has also held a vice chancellor position.

Alleva is currently serving a fiveyear term on the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee, reinforcing his position as one of the most respected athletic administrators in the country.

Upon his arrival at LSU, Alleva unveiled a strategic master plan for the LSU athletics program -- “LSU: Thru and True” -- to ensure the advancement and future of LSU Athletics as an exemplary program. The central mission of the plan is to create an environment for student-athletes to reach their ultimate potential, prepare them to be champions in life and to set out goals and values for the entire athletics program.

Alleva’s vision will keep LSU among the nation’s leaders in athletic facilities.

He launched an aggressive fund-raising campaign to replace several hundred windows on Tiger Stadium that were in disrepair and a new coating to the façade of the structure is bringing the old stadium to new life. A renovated gating system on the west side of the stadium will debut in the fall of 2012 to include a plaza that celebrates LSU’s football national championships and recognition walls that honor Tiger AllAmericans.

Also in the fall of 2012, LSU begins construction on an expansion of the South End Zone of the stadium -- a project that will add premium seating, general public seating and two stateof-the-art video boards -- continuing an effort to augment one of the most iconic venues in all of college sports.

Under Alleva’s direction, LSU’s world-renowned track and field program received a state-of the-art running surface in 2010 when a new track was installed in Bernie Moore Stadium. Extensive renovations to the Tiger soccer facility were completed last fall, and future plans include a new gymnastics practice facility, a tennis complex and renovations to the Maravich Center and Carl Maddox Field House.

Alleva directed a major renovation to the University Club golf course that was completed in September 2010 and allows the LSU men’s and women’s golf teams to compete on one of

26 LSU

the most challenging courses in the country. The renovated course helped prepare Tiger golfers John Peterson and Austin Ernst, respectively, to win 2011 NCAA men’s and women’s individual championships, marking the first time both titles were claimed by players from the same school. The Lady Tiger golfers have finished third at the NCAA Championships two years in a row, marking the highest finishes in LSU history.

LSU Athletics completed another highly successful year in 2011-12 as 18 of the Tigers’ 20 varsity sports participated in NCAA post-season competition. The year was highlighted by the football team’s undefeated regular season, an SEC championship and an appearance in the BCS National Championship Game.

The Lady Tiger track and field team captured the SEC and NCAA outdoor championships while the LSU softball squad advanced to the Women’s College World Series. The Fighting Tiger baseball team won the 2012 SEC championship, and LSU led the nation in attendance for the 17th straight season. The 2011-12 season marked the first time in school history that LSU won both the SEC title in both football and baseball in the same athletic year.

But the 2011-12 year was about more than just athletic success. Living up to Alleva’s mantra of “competition, classroom, community,” LSU studentathletes logged more than 3,700 hours in community service work across 20 sports through LSU’s Geaux Givers program. And 62 proud Tigers received their degrees from the university during LSU commencement ceremonies in May.

Outstanding performances of the

2012-13 SWIMMING & DIVING MEDIA GUIDE

2010-11 athletic season included the exploits of the Fighting Tiger football squad that posted an 11-2 mark – including a Cotton Bowl victory – and finished the season ranked No. 8 in the nation. The year also featured Top 5 national finishes both indoors and outdoors by the men’s and women’s track and field teams.

In 2008-09, all 20 LSU sports competed in NCAA postseason play for the first time in school history and the Tiger baseball team won the national championship. LSU ranked second among Southeastern Conference teams in the Learfield Director’s Cup All-Sports standings and finished in the Top 20 for the sixth year in a row.

With a strong commitment to academics, Alleva ensures that the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is a first-class facility that provides student-athletes the resources necessary for success in the classroom and personal development.

The facility was recently enhanced by the addition of a media training center that gives student-athletes valuable assistance in improving their communications skills.

And with a strong emphasis on community service and outreach programs, the implementation under Alleva’s direction of the “Geaux Givers” program fosters a relationship between the local community and LSU studentathletes, who regularly participate in philanthropic events. In addition, Alleva has bolstered the department’s L-Club program to reach out and connect with former student-athletes.

Alleva oversees a staff of outstanding coaches and he has made

critical additions to LSU’s coaching staff over the past two years. He hired former LSU guard Johnny Jones in April to breathe new life and enthusiasm into the men’s basketball program and recently added Julia Sell as the new women’s tennis coach. Last year, he lured the dynamic Nikki Caldwell to LSU to coach the Lady Tiger basketball team and then hired Beth Torina to direct the Tiger softball program, both of whom immediately returned their respective programs to NCAA post-season success.

Alleva is an innovator with bold ideas that benefit not only LSU but all of Greater Baton Rouge. He has been instrumental in the planning of the Bayou Country Superfest, a two-day country music concert and festival held in Tiger Stadium each spring. The event attracts nearly 100,000 visitors to the LSU campus and makes a tremendous economic impact upon the local community.

Dr. William L. Jenkins is serving his second term as President of the Louisiana State University System, which has an annual budget of $3.4 billion and more than 54,000 students at 10 institutions, including four academic campuses, a law center, one of the world’s leading obesity research centers, a statewide AgCenter extension service, two health science centers and 10 public hospitals.

Jenkins returned to his duties leading the LSU System as Interim President after serving until 2007 as the fifth system chief executive. In June, he was also named the Interim Chancellor of the Baton Rouge LSU campus.

Prior to becoming System President, Dr. Jenkins, a veterinary scholar, held virtually every major administrative position at LSU, including provost and chancellor, since coming to the university as Dean of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine in 1988.

Jenkins’ tenure as System President was marked by unprecedented growth and challenges, including destruction at LSU institutions in New Orleans in the aftermath of hurricanes in the fall of 2005.

Although faced with a fiscal crisis and deep budget cuts that disrupted academics and forced the furloughs and firings of thousands of LSU employees, Jenkins pressed for calm and reflexive responses to the calamities.

A South Africa native, Dr. Jenkins received his veterinary medicine degree from the University of Pretoria in 1958 and specialist credentials in 1968. Following his graduation, he came to the United States where, in 1970, he received his Ph.D in veterinary medicine from the University of Missouri in Columbia. He returned to South Africa where he practiced veterinary medicine for four years before joining the faculty at the University of Pretoria, advancing through the ranks to become professor and head of the Department of Veterinary Physiology, Pharmacology and Toxicology.

In 1978, Dr. Jenkins became a member of the faculty in the Department of Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology at Texas A&M University. He was appointed dean of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine in 1988 and was named LSU’s provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs in September 1993. Three years later in 1996, the LSU Board of Supervisors named him LSU’s fifth chancellor.

As chancellor, Dr. Jenkins led the reorganization of the main campus administration to make it more efficient and lead the effort to produce a strategic plan, measures that were major factors in the crafting of LSU’s Flagship Agenda.

As a teacher and administrator, Dr. Jenkins has received numerous teaching and public service awards. In 1997, the Public Relations Association of Louisiana named him Communicator of the Year and the regional chapter of Toastmasters International presented him with its 1999 Communication and Leadership Award.

Other honors include the Vision of Excellence Award 2000 by the New Orleans Regional Chamber of Commerce and the New Orleans Chapter of MetroVision. In addition, his alma mater, the University of Pretoria, bestowed an Honorary Doctorate on Dr. Jenkins in September of 2000. The Southern Economic Development Conference also presented him with the Volunteer of the Year Award in 2004.

An active participant in national continuing education efforts, Dr. Jenkins has delivered more than 150 lectures and addresses to diverse groups in both the United States and abroad. The co-author of a textbook on veterinary pharmacology, Dr. Jenkins also has taught extensively at both the professional and graduate levels written more than 60 scientific articles and contributed 15 chapters to various collegiate textbooks.

Dr. Jenkins has been active in numerous professional and civic organizations as well as select national committees. He served on the National Institute of Health’s Alcohol Abuse and Misuse on College Campuses Committee and on a special Steering Committee of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools that reviewed accreditation criteria for colleges and universities.

COACHES

Co-Head Coach David Geyer

DAVID GEYER Co-Head Coach Head Swimming Coach Third Season as Co-Head Coach (Seventh at LSU)

When Dave Geyer was promoted to co-head coach of the LSU men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs alongside Doug Shaffer in April 2010, he envisioned a pair of teams that could consistently compete among the top 15 in the nation and top five in the Southeastern Conference.

After back-to-back fifth place SEC finishes on both the men’s and women’s side, Geyer is well on his way to realizing his vision. Geyer, entering his third season as head swimming coach, put the men’s and women’s swimming teams back on the map -- both nationally and in the SEC -- in 2010-11, and increased success has continued to follow.

The LSU men’s team finished the SEC Championships in the top-five in consecutive seasons for the first time since the 1998-99 and 199900 campaigns. Similarly, the women have enjoyed the finest two-year run within the conference since the 1992-93 and 1993-94 seasons.

In 2010-11 the LSU women’s team delivered its highest NCAA finish in 18 seasons, registering 14th at the 2011 NCAA Championships. Eight swimmers earned invitations to the national meet -- LSU’s highest qualifying contingent in more than 15 years -- and five athletes combined to claim 14 All-America honors.

In 2011-12, seven women, including six underclassmen, and two men qualified for the national meet. The team collectively broke six additional records. Eight LSU swimmers and two newcomers competed at the 2012 US Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb. Junior Craig Hamilton continued his vast improvement in his third season, resetting three LSU records. The two-time NCAA Honorable Mention All-American established himself as one of the nation’s top distance swimmers by dropping his mile time by over 15 seconds.

The Edinburgh, Scotland native finished 10th at the NCAA National Championships in the 1650 free (14:45.94) and earned a bronze medal in the 1650 free (14:58.11) at the SEC Championships.

Diver Daniel Helm joined Hamiltoin at NCAA’s. The duo earned 12 points and finished tied for 31st.

On the women’s side, junior Sara Haley, sophomores Torrey Bussey and Rainey White, senior Samantha Goates and freshmen Amber Carter, Marlene Niemi and diver Alex Bettridge qualified for the NCAA Championships.

Haley broke the school record in the 200 fly (1:56.67) for the second consecutive year and repeated as a bronze medalist in the 200 fly at the SEC Championships. The El Dorado Hills, Calif. native also qualified for the NCAA Championships for the second consecutive season.

Bussey built on the success of her freshman campaign with her second NCAA Championship appearance. The Cary, N.C. native notched three final performances at the SEC Championships. She emerged victorious in the 100 breast (1:01.00) consolation final at SEC’s with the second fastest mark in program history.

Carter and Niemi battled for program supremacy in the sprint free competitions. Niemi earned SEC All-Freshman Honors after being the only freshman to qualify for the championship final of the 50 free with the program’s fifth fastest time of 22.66 at the SEC Championships.

She ended her 50 free run at SEC’s in eighth place with a mark of 23.03.

The Finnish swimmer also made improvements in the 100 breast with a career low mark of 1:04.08.

Carter raced to a 13th place finish in the 50 free (22.95) after posting the program’s sixth fastest mark in the prelims (22.86) at the SEC Championships. The Houston, Texas native also made strides in the 100 fly and notched 15th place finish in the event (54.00), which was the eighth fastest in the program’s history, at the conference meet.

At the SEC Championships, the men’s team jumped over 150 points from the previous year and scored 423 points behind stellar performances from Hamilton, Junior Andrei Tuomola and newcomers freshmen Frank Greeff and Michael Young and transfer junior Ricardo Alvarado Jimenez.

2012-13 SWIMMING & DIVING MEDIA GUIDE

Tuomola registered LSU’s third fastest all-time 100 breast time of 53.82 in a bronze medal finish at the SEC Championships. At the conference meet, he also posted the program’s fourth best 50 free mark of 19.68 after touching the wall first in the consolation final at SEC’s.

Greeff immediately made his presence felt in his rookie campaign, leading the team in three individual events. He was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team after earning a bronze model in the 200 fly with program’s all-time second fastest mark of 1:45.03 at the SEC Championships.

Young earned SEC All-Freshman Honors in the 100 back. The Australian posted the program’s fifth best all-time 100 backstroke (48.16) in a sixth place finish at the conference meet.

Alvarado Jimenez swam three program top-10 all-time marks in his first season after transferring from Arizona. The Mexico native swam to fifth in the 100 breast with the program’s fifth fastest mark of 53.91, qualified for the ‘A’ final of the 200 breast after posting the program’s fifth fastest time of 1:58.27 in the prelims and registered the program’s ninth best 200 IM mark of 1:49.80 at the conference meet.

In 2010-11, Jane Trepp became the first swimmer in program history to capture NCAA first-team All-America status in all three of her individual races in a single season with top-eight finishes in the 50 free, 100 fly and 100 breast. Amanda Kendall joined her teammate Trepp as a first-team All-American in the 100 fly, won the consolation final of the 100 free and also posted a top-16 finish in the 50 free.

Prior to the accomplishments of Trepp and Kendall at NCAA’s, the LSU women’s program had not seen an individual swimming All-American since 1997, and both boasted top times ranked in the top 10 nationally in their three best races by the end of the season.

Under Geyer’s guidance, Kendall exploded on the International scene after her performances at the 2011 ConocoPhillips US Nationals and the

Co-Head Coach David Geyer 2011 Pan American Games.

Kendall achieved three Pan Am Games records in the 4x100-meter free (3:40.66), 4x200-meter free (8:01.18) and 4x100-meter medley (4:01.00) relay. She also earned a gold medal in the 100 free with a lifetime best of 54.75. Her 100 free mark was the seventh fastest time in the 100 free by an American in the 2011 cycle.

Kendall qualified for the Pan Am Games after setting four lifetime bests and placing in four finals at the 2011 National Championships.

She made the ‘A’ Final and finished seventh overall with a time of 55.08 in the 100m free and competed in the consolation finals of the 50m free (25.84), 100m butterfly (1:00.00) and 200m free (2:00.14).

In addition to the duo, Goates added two more honorable mention All-America accolades as a member of the 200 free and 200 medley relays, while Kannon Betzen (200 free relay) and Jana Ruimerman (200 medley relay) became honorable mention All-Americans for the first time.

On the men’s side, Hannes Heyl and Hamilton gave the Tigers a 26th-place finish at NCAA’s, their highest finish since 2005.

Heyl proved to be one of the top 100 butterfly performers in the country, racing to a new program record of 45.77 in the NCAA prelims before collecting his first career first-team All-America accolade with a seventh-place finish in the championship final. Hamilton took 15th and aquired his first career honorable mention All-America honor in the 1650 free.

In addition to their success at NCAA’s, the men’s and women’s teams burst onto the scene and turned some heads both nationally and in the conference with their stellar performances at the 2011 SEC Championships. The Lady Tigers and Tigers each placed fifth at SEC’s, marking the first time both teams posted top-five finishes at the conference championships in a single season since 2000.

However, the squads stood out way beyond the team standings with a plethora of individual and relay accolades. At the conclusion of the four-day swimming competition, LSU swimmers combined to win an SEC individual championship, collect 14 medals and shatter an SEC record and 12 program marks, while four athletes earned All-SEC recognition and two made the SEC All-Freshmen team.

No swimmer had a bigger impact than Trepp, who became the first Lady Tiger swimmer in 14 seasons to win an SEC title, and she did it in record-setting fashion, breaking the league mark with a blistering time of 58.94. The senior was just the ninth individual in U.S. Open history to reach the wall in under 59 seconds.

Kendall raced to a pair of bronze medals in the 100 free and 100 fly and played a major role in helping the 200 medley and 200 free relays to medal finishes. Her 22.87 split on the fly leg of the 200 medley relay coupled with Trepp’s 26.57 breaststroke split spearheaded the squad of Ruimerman, Trepp, Kendall and Goates to second-place and an NCAA automatic qualifying time of 1:36.91.

Haley was the bronze medal winner in the 200 fly with a then program-record 1:56.82 clocking. Haley went from 18th in the event as a freshman to third in the league in just one season under Geyer’s tutelage.

Bussey, an SEC All-Freshmen Team performer and NCAA Qualifier, advanced to a pair of championship finals at the conference meet and broke program records in the 200 breast and 200 IM. Bussey was the Lady Tigers’ highest NCAA finisher in the 200 IM since 1997 and first swimmer to race in the 200 breast at the national competition since 2003.

Heyl swam to a bronze medal in the 100 fly and reached the ‘A’ final of the 100 back with a personal best of 47.15, while Hamilton claimed his third program record at the conference meet with a 4:22.17 clocking in the 500 free.

Tuomola also took a step forward in his second season, qualifying for the championship final of the 50 free and 100 breast at SEC’s and recording a new personal best and program top-10 time in the 50 free.

Furthermore, Trepp was named LSU’s most decorated scholar-athlete as she was the school’s female nomination for the prestigious SEC H. Boyd McWhorter Postgraduate Scholarship, the highest academic honor bestowed by the conference each year. In addition to her phenomenal athletic accomplishments, the senior also sported a 3.8 cumulative grade point average in psychology.

Prior to his promotion to co-head coach, Geyer spent five seasons as an assistant coach at LSU where he worked with all phases of the programs. He was instrumental in helping numerous athletes shatter program records and earn All-America honors while also playing a vital role in the recruitment of top-level international student-athletes.

In 2008, Geyer trained former LSU standout and Olympian Miko Malberg prior to the Beijing Olympic Games where the former AllAmerican went on to set an Estonian national record in the 50-meter freestyle (22.37) and place 25th overall.

He also traveled to Croatia for the 2008 European Short-Course Championships as a member of the Estonian National coaching staff

where he guided Malberg to a pair of national records and helped an Estonian relay qualify for its first championship final at that competition.

Geyer graduated from Shippensburg with a bachelor’s degree in psychology in 1999 before receiving his master’s degree in counseling in 2001. He is married to the former Lyndi Croft of State College, Pa. The couple has two daughters, Maddilyn (8) and Kayda (4).

Co-Head Coach Doug Shaffer

DOUG SHAFFER Co-Head Coach Head Diving Coach 11th Season Overall (Third as Co-Head Coach)

The LSU diving program is one of storied tradition, and no one has had a more profound impact in the Tigers’ recent success than Doug Shaffer.

In his 11th overall season with LSU, Shaffer was promoted to co-head coach of the men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs along with Dave Geyer in April 2010 and enters his third season as head diving coach.

After two seasons, Shaffer and Geyer have LSU on the path to becoming one of the nation’s elite programs. The LSU men’s and women’s teams finished the SEC Championships in the top-five in consecutive seasons for the first time for the men since the 199899 and 1999-00 seasons and for the first time for the women since 1992-93 and 1993-94 seasons.

Known for having an eye for talent, Shaffer scours the country for gifted divers who fit the program and molds them into some of LSU’s most successful student-athletes. In his previous ten years, Shaffer has produced 13 NCAA All-Americans, two Southeastern Conference champions, an SEC Diver of the Year and six SEC Freshman Divers of the Year.

Freshman Alex Bettridge and sophomore Daniel Helm added their names to the prominent divers that have come through LSU. Both divers became NCAA Honorable-Mention All-Americans after scoring points at the NCAA Championships.

Helm became LSU’s 13th NCAA All-American on the platform after diving to a 12th place finish with a total of 324.50 at NCAA’s. The Beaverton, Ore. native showed his diversity in different events after capturing a silver medal at the SEC Championships on the one-meter springboard with the program’s second highest all-time score of 376.55. His performance earned him All-SEC Second Team honors.

Bettridge became Shaffer’s sixth SEC Freshman Diver of the Year and was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team. She set the program’s three-meter dive record (366.85) with a bronze medal performance at the SEC Championships. She also dove to sixth in the one-meter with a total of 302.60 at SEC’s, which is the seventh best in the program’s history.

Bettridge placed 15th on the three-meter with a score of 306.30 at the NCAA Championships, earning NCAA Honorable Mention All American honors. The Austin, Texas native qualified for the NCAA Championships after scoring a 12-dive total of 578.20 in a fourth place finish on the one-meter at the NCAA Zone ‘D’ Diving Regionals.

During the 2011-12 campaign, any LSU diver had a chance at earning victory in every event. All six divers qualified for the NCAA Zone ‘D’ Diving Regional.

Senior Matt Vieke finished up his illustrious career with his best collegiate season. Following his senior season, Vieke possessed the program’s third best three-meter (388.20), fifth best one-meter (352.60) and fourth best platform (314.75) scores. He secured his first championship final at SEC Championships and posted a fifth place performance on the one-meter (352.60).

Sophomore Kevin Leong registered the program’s fifth best platform score of 313.55 in a 13th place finish at the SEC Championships. The Alberta, Canada native also finished 15th on the one-meter springboard at the conference meet with a score of 304.65.

Sophomores Sean McKinney and Jesse Lyman made strides in their second seasons as well. Both divers qualified for their second NCAA Zones. McKinney notched the highest three-meter dive score (337.50) in the event for the Tigers in an 11th place finish at the SEC Championships.

On the women’s side, junior Elle Schmidt set two of her career bests on the three-meter (298.05) and the platform (229.35). She posted three top-16 performances at the SEC Championships as well.

30 LSU

Moreover, Shaffer’s divers continue to shine academically as his athletes have been awarded LSU Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors four times, and numerous divers have received prestigious post-graduate scholarships. Vieke was named the Tiger Athletic Foundation Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year and a recipient of the Wally Pontiff Jr., Academic Excellence Award during his junior season.

The Indianapolis, Ind. native was named a finalist for the prestigious SEC H. Boyd McWorther Post-Graduate Scholarship his senior year and graduated with a perfect 4.0 cumulative grade point average in management.

The LSU diving corps embarked upon another successful season in 2010-11, helping both the men’s and women’s teams register topfive finishes at the SEC Championships for the first time since 2000.

Furthermore, all six divers -- including four underclassmen -qualified and competed at the NCAA Zone Diving Regional, while Helm developed into one of the conference’s top newcomers.

After a fine first-year campaign in which she garnered SEC Freshman Diver of the Year honors, St. Germain took her craft to another level, capturing a silver medal and breaking the program record in the one-meter springboard with a phenomenal performance at SEC’s.

Helm emerged as yet another impact freshman performer for the LSU diving program, claiming fifth-place in the men’s three-meter at SEC’s and receiving SEC All-Freshmen Team recognition. Helm also posted program top-five scores in all three events and was named SEC Male Diver of the Week on two separate occasions during the regular season.

In addition to St. Germain and Helm, Vieke barely missed qualifying for the NCAA Championships after his fine effort at the Zone ‘D’ Regional where he was tabbed the first alternate to NCAA’s, while junior Brian Gemberling, Schmidt and McKinney each contributed points at the conference meet with top-16 finishes.

Vieke, McKinney and Schmidt also tallied career-best and program top-10 scores at different points in the season.

When Shaffer was promoted to co-head coach of the programs along with Geyer, the duo sought to build a well-rounded program that not only emphasized athletic success but also excellence in the classroom and the community. This was evident in 2010-11 as 19 swimmers and divers were named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll, while the men’s and women’s programs logged 362.5 hours of community service, a 229-hour increase from the previous season and among LSU’s team leaders. 2011-12 numbers.

Prior to his promotion, Shaffer served eight seasons as LSU’s diving coach where he maintained the program’s tradition of excellence.

In 2009-10, St. Germain became the fifth LSU diver in six seasons to emerge as the SEC Freshman Diver of the Year and was named to the SEC All-Freshmen Team, while Gemberling proved to be one of the most improved divers in the SEC in his sophomore campaign.

A native of Levittown, Pa., Gemberling placed sixth in both springboard events at the 2010 SEC Championships, broke the school record in the three-meter (393.07) in a dual-meet against Texas A&M and claimed program top-five marks in the one-meter and platform.

In 2008-09, the Tigers’ diving coach helped one of his athletes earn an invitation to the NCAA Championships for the seventhconsecutive season as senior Niko Dalman competed at the national meet for the third time in his career. Dalman also added the school’s one-meter record to his collection and finished his career as the LSU record-holder in both the one- and three-meter springboard events.

The 2007-08 season proved to be Shaffer’s finest season as the Tigers’ diving coach. Shaffer coached sophomore Rachel Ware to her third All-America accolade in two years with a 12th-place finish in

2012-13 SWIMMING & DIVING MEDIA GUIDE

Co-Head Coach Doug Shaffer the one-meter springboard at NCAA’s. His athletes also had a superb showing at SEC’s as a conference-high four LSU divers received medals for placing in the top three of their respective events.

Ware and senior Paige Brown enjoyed two of the best competitions of their careers at that meet with both departing Tuscaloosa, Ala., as conference champions. Ware won the one-meter championship and captured the runner-up spot in the three-meter en route to SEC Female Diver of the Year honors. Brown beat out 20 other competitors to take the platform title with a school-record score of 300.30.

Both were also named to the All-SEC First Team, the first Lady Tigers to receive all-conference recognition since 2003. Shaffer earned the SEC Women’s Diving Coach of the Year award for his efforts in guiding the duo to conference excellence.

Under Shaffer’s tutelage, the men’s side finished second in the points standings among diving teams at the conference meet, and a pair of Tiger divers reached the awards podium with record-shattering performances. Dalman took home a medal in the three-meter springboard, breaking a then-LSU record in the event with a score of 391.55 to place third. Freshman Michael Neubacher followed two days later with a runner-up finish in the platform competition, crushing the school record with a robust six-dive total of 431.55.

Neubacher, the SEC’s highest scoring freshman, joined Ware, Dalman and Nathan Schreiber as the fourth-straight athlete in the Shaffer era to earn the distinction as the conference’s top freshman diver.

Outside the pool, Brown truly exemplified the meaning of a studentathlete, joining a long list of former LSU divers who have excelled at the highest levels academically. The Zionsville, Ind., native, who graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in biological engineering, became the third LSU diver in two seasons to be named a finalist for the esteemed SEC H. Boyd McWhorter Post-graduate Scholarship. Former standouts Hali Saucier and Andrew Keane were nominated in 2007.

She was also the first athlete in school history to earn a spot in the exclusive Tiger Twelve, which recognizes 12 graduating seniors who have shown great academic success and contributed significantly to the Baton Rouge community, and received the Wally Pontiff Jr. Academic Excellence Award, which goes to the school’s top scholarathletes. In addition, Brown registered the team’s highest grade point average and was selected to give the commencement speech at the engineering school’s graduation in 2008.

Shaffer’s list of Tiger All-Americans began in 2002-03 upon his arrival. His guidance enabled three divers to earn five NCAA AllAmerican performances, including junior Jessica Wantz and seniors Barb Gorst and Kyle VanArsdall. Wantz finished fourth in the threemeter springboard. Both Gorst and VanArsdall scored in the top-16 in the platform.

The following season Shaffer guided Wantz to a third-place finish overall in the three-meter at NCAA’s, which gave her first-team AllAmerica honors. A third career All-America finish followed in the onemeter.

In 2004-05, Dalman entered his freshman season with little experience. Seven months later, he embarked on a 12th-place finish as an All-American in the one-meter. He also became the first diver in school history to be named SEC Freshman Diver of the Year. Dalman added to his accolades with a top-12 finish in the platform at the 2006 NCAA Championships.

Shaffer was no stranger to leading a successful collegiate diving program before taking the job in Baton Rouge. He was the head coach at UCLA in 1988-89 and then at the University of Minnesota from 1989-96.

Shaffer experienced a great deal of success at Minnesota as he was honored as Big Ten Diving Coach of the Year three times – twice on the women’s side and once for the men’s team. Shaffer coached 11 Big Ten champions, 29 All-Americans and two NCAA champions while at Minnesota. He was named NCAA Diving Coach of the Year in 1993.

Shaffer also coached three Pac-10 champions and four All-Americans during his tenure at UCLA.

He has coached the United States in numerous international competitions since 1989, including the U.S. National Diving teams in China, Sweden, Spain and the United States. Shaffer served as the assistant competition manager during the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta and was recruited to be the head diving coach at the Sheffield, England, High Performance Center. There, he coached five Olympians on the Lottery Funded World Class Performance Program but declined a four-year contract extension for the opportunity to coach at LSU.

Shaffer graduated from UCLA in 1986 with a B.A. degree in history.

He was an 11-time U.S. National champion, the 1986 NCAA Diver of the Year and the NCAA one-meter and three-meter champion in 1986 for the Bruins. One of the few divers to defeat the legendary Greg Louganis, Shaffer ousted the four-time Olympian five times in 1987, three of which were in U.S. National competition.

Shaffer was a silver medalist in the three-meter at the 1987 Pan American Games and won a gold medal at the 1987 USA-USSR dual

Born: Sept. 9, 1956 Wife: Dr. Loreto Jackson

Christopher Ip enters his first year with LSU as an assistant coach after serving as the head swimming and diving coach at Clemson for 10 seasons. He brings with him a diverse array of expertise from his time at Clemson. Ip will work with all swimmers and focus on LSU’s sprinters.

Ip produced 16 NCAA All-American and Honorable Mention AllAmerican performers, 24 ACC Champions and 35 All-ACC swimmers during his tenure in Clemson. Seventeen out of 24 of the men’s and women’s records for each team were broken during his tenure. Fourteen of his athletes became Olympic trial participants, domestically and internationally.

In addition to in the pool excellence, Ip’s teams consistently boasted high academic marks and did extensive work in the community. His men and women’s teams averaged a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in 29 separate semesters of classes. Three of Ip’s athletes went on to earn the prestigious NCAA Post-graduate scholarship.

“I am extremely excited and honored that Dave and Doug have given me the opportunity to work with this prestigious group of LSU swimmers and divers,” Ip said. “I look forward to blending my coaching experiences from the past with the coaching staffs’ philosophy and move this program up in the SEC and in the national rankings.”

Ip served as the President and Coach of the Clemson Tiger Aquatic Camps, Inc. from 2005-2011.

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, Ga. and the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia.

Prior to arriving at Clemson, Ip coached at Indian River Community College in Fort Pierce, Fla. for 13 seasons. Incredibly, the Swarthmore, Penn. 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, presently the most for any coach in NJCAA history.

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.

Before 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). 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

CORY CHITWOOD Assistant Coach • First Season Hometown: Union, Ky. College: University of Arizona with a B.S. in Psychology Born: Feb. 28, 1989

Cory Chitwood joined LSU Swimming and Diving as an assistant coach on Nov. 1, 2012.

Chitwood arrives at LSU with a spectacular track record as a collegiate swimmer at the University of Arizona, and comes highly recommended by USA Swimming National Team Director Frank Busch.

“I’ve known Cory and his family a long time,” Busch said. “I’ve watched him develop and coached him for years at Arizona. His knowledge is second to none. He is one of those athletes who understood things immediately. He was really in tune with the sport, much more than your average college athlete.”

LSU will be Chitwood’s first collegiate coaching experience. He served this past year as the Northern Kentucky Clippers club team’s Head Assistant Coach, specializing with the elite 11-12 and 13-14 year old age groups.

On the international stage, Chitwood was a member of the United Sates Swimming National team and finished 10th in the 200-meter backstroke with a time of 2:00.03 in the semifinals at the Olympic Trials. He posted his career low in the 200m back (1:57.41) at the 2012 US Open Swimming Championships.

At the University of Arizona, Chitwood won three-consecutive

NCAA Championships in the 200-yard back. He posted his 200 back career low mark of 1:38.84 en route to his second individual championship.

2012-13 Women’s Season Preview

ALEX BETTRIDGE

Swimming Coach Dave Geyer and Diving Coach Doug Shaffer enter their third season as co-head coaches.

The LSU women’s program finished in the top-five at the SEC Championships for the second consecutive season. The team returns six of seven NCAA Qualifiers from a year ago and welcomes 10 new freshmen to the program.

The returnees are highlighted by NCAA Honorable-Mention All-American sophomore diver Alex Bettridge and NCAA Qualifiers senior Sara Haley, juniors Torrey Bussey and Rainey White and sophomores Amber Carter and Marlene Niemi.

SENIORS Sara Haley repeated as one of the top butterfly competitors in the conference. The El Dorado Hills, Calif. Native broke the school record in the 200 fly (1:56.67) when she registered her second consecutive bronze medal performance at the SEC Championships in the 200 fly.

She also qualified for the NCAA Championships for the second consecutive season.

“I think the one thing that has been missing from her career is stepping up and performing at the NCAA level,” Geyer said. “That is a goal for her and for us as a program as well. It is just going to take a whole different line of commitment and structure for her to stay on a path this year to make that happen. There really can’t be any down days in our training for her to perform at that level. She needs to repeat the effort from SEC’s to NCAA’s”.

Jana Ruimerman, who earned NCAA Honorable-Mention All-American status her sophomore year for her performances on the 10th place 200 medley relay, will look to qualify for NCAA’s her senior year after narrowly missing qualifying her junior year. Ruimerman swam in a pair of consolation finals in the 100 backstroke and 200 backstroke at the SEC Championships.

“Jana has a situation where she tends to fall ill right before our conference meet and NCAA’s,” Geyer said. “She had a great summer, qualified for Olympic Trials and swam faster at Olympic Trials. That was an oddity at that meet. She has the base to carry on in her final year.”

Sally Wood made a huge leap her junior season in the individual medley events and the 200 breaststroke. She cranked out the program’s fourth fastest all-time 400 IM (4:14.29), fifth fastest 200 IM (1:59.51) and eighth fastest 200 breast (2:16.66) at the SEC Championships.

2012-13 SWIMMING & DIVING MEDIA GUIDE

“Sally fought through a lot of injuries last year and ironically enough she still performed really well,” Geyer said. “Our training room has been great over the summer to get her back to where she needs to be physically. We are looking for some great things from her. She has goals of school records and potentially both the 200 IM and 400 IM records.”

Audrey Lawson pairs with Haley to form one of the conference’s top 200 fly duos. Lawson qualified for the championship final of the 200 fly and registered a career low and fifth best program time of 1:59.42 in a seventh place finish at the SEC Championships “She wants to qualify for NCAA’s this year,” Geyer said. “She gained some solid experience at the SEC meet by qualifying for the 200 fly. I don’t think that her performance in the finals was indicative of what she is capable of doing. We are working through the mental stuff to compete at the highest levels in all events. She has set her goals high.”

Kaelee Mader put together her best collegiate season last year and swam to 14th in the 200 fly at the SEC Championships. She also competed in the individual medley events and set career lows in both events.

“It has been fun to watch her progress over the past three years,” Geyer said. “We are looking forward to her developing in the individual medleys and are going to spend more time focusing on the 200 fly this year as well. We started to see a bit of light from that at the SEC meet last year. The change in meet structure sets up her days events to perform three really hard events spread out over four days. She is developing and looking to step up and finish things out on top.”

Chelsea Griffiths rounds out the senior swimming class. She qualified for the SEC Championships and swam the 100 and 200 back.

On the diving side, Elle Schmidt serves as the Tiger’s lone upperclassman diver. Schmidt set her career bests on the platform and the three-meter last season and qualified for NCAA Zone Regionals.

“Elle has now been in the program for four years,” Shaffer said. “We have more support with a graduate assistant and the highest coach-athlete ratio than we have ever had. It allows us to give additional detail to each of the divers. Elle’s diving really comes down to what she wants to do. I believe that you are what you think. If she believes in herself, she has the opportunity to have her most successful season at LSU.”

JUNIORS Torrey Bussey, LSU’s record-holder in the 200 breast and 200 IM, repeated as an NCAA Qualifier and swam in three final events at the SEC Championships. At SEC’s, she captured eight place in the 200 IM with a season low 1:58.53 and emerged victorious in the 100 breast (1:01.00) consolation final with the second fastest mark in program history.

“Torrey had a pretty tumultuous summer. She had a great summer training wise, but when we got back from Olympic Trials we had a situation where she had to have surgery,” Geyer

2012-13 Women’s Season Preview SALLY WOOD

said. “When I sat down with her in a goal meeting, I told her to set her standards low.

For every progression that we have made and every step we take, we have to look at is as exciting. Already a month into the training season and I am already amazed how fast we have progressed through things. As far as her progression over the last month, we are obviously way ahead of where I thought she would be.”

Rainey White emerged as one of the team’s top sprint freestylers and a valuable component on relays. She competed on the team’s 200 free relay at the NCAA Championships. She finished 10th in the 100 fly (54.08) at the SEC Championships as well.

“She is like an assassin. That is the best way to put it,” Geyer said. “She is quiet, comes in, does her business and goes to work. She definitely has some pop. She had a good summer. She has made some improvements to where she is at. The want to be better than last year is certainly there.”

Parker Glass swam the 500 free, 100 back and 200 back for LSU at the SEC Championships. She owned the team’s fastest 500 free for the season and also showed some growth in the 1000 free.

“I look at her some days and tell her that she should be an SEC scorer,” Geyer said. “Then there is a day or two when you don’t see that. We have talked about that precisely. She had a pretty solid summer and made some strength gains on the land.

We are looking forward to moving on with her developmental process.”

Additionally, Laura Furr, Mikayda Milles, Kyra Jones, Jesi Kopcso and Emily Weaner round up the core of the team and will all look to qualify for the conference championships.

“For those group of girls, they have been to the SEC meet and know the level of competition that it takes to be there,” Geyer said. “Having a deep squad will make things more competitive for the conference meet and SEC travel. I think when you have that environment in a training area it is going to make a lot of women push themselves harder to be a part of that. You want that competition daily in workouts and training moving forward.”

SOPHOMORES Alex Bettridge, the SEC’s Freshman Diver of the Year, will look to continue her

AMBER CARTER

prowess within the conference and further her status nationally. Bettridge showed her versatility on all boards when set the program’s three-meter dive record (366.85) with a bronze medal performance at the SEC Championships, placed 15th on the threemeter with a score of 306.30 at the NCAA Championships and dove to sixth in the one-meter with a total of 302.60 at SEC’s.

“Alex’s goals are bigger and better. She wants to final in at least two events at the SEC Championship and win an event,” Shaffer said. “She wants to qualify and final for the NCAA’s. Her goals are a progression.

She is still developing on platform. It could be a toss-up on whether she will score higher on the one-meter or the three-meter springboard. She is such a fierce competitor that she knows when and how to raise her game at the flick of a switch.”

Amber Carter shined in her freshman campaign in the fly and freeevents. She Competed in the 50 free, 100 fly, 200 free relay and the 200 medley relay at NCAA’s. At SEC’s, she raced to a 13th place finish in the 50 free (22.95) after posting the program’s sixth fastest mark in the prelims (22.86) at the SEC Championships and notched a 15th place finish in the 100 fly (54.00), which was the eighth fastest in the program’s history.

“I sensed that Amber had huge potential and it came true her freshman year,” Geyer said. “She had some phenomenal swims.

I think she exceeded a lot of people’s expectations. Going into her sophomore year, those expectations are now on her shoulders a little bit. She needs to see how she can handle that.”

Kaetlin Sepp utilized her talent to develop into one of the program’s top back and free swimmers. The Estonian finished 14th in the 200 back with the program’s fifth best mark (1:58.62) at the SEC Championships.

“We had high expectations for her in the backstroke and we fell a little bit short,” Geyer said. “Physically she is a strong woman and can train well. She needs to become a more mentally focused competitor. If she does that I think there is a bright future for her in the backstroke events.”

Jennifer Reese earned a spot on the team last season with her hard work and has come back to campus looking to qualify for the SEC Championships.

“Sometimes you offer a spot for

ELLE SCHMIDT

individuals to walk onto the program and they don’t really foresee the expectations ahead of them,” Geyer said. “She used the year to really grow and understand what it takes to compete at the SEC level. She went home this summer and really remolded herself into a new person. She is coming in at a whole new fitness level than she did freshman year. It is exciting to see her at this level for the first time.”

FRESHMEN The women’s freshmen class is littered with versatile talent in the diving and swimming ranks. Cassie Weil, the top ranked woman diver of the recruiting class, owns a ton of experience on the national level.

“Cassie has been a Junior National Champion, a Senior National qualifier and a finalist and a US Olympic Trials participant on the three-meter and platform events,” Shaffer said. “She has a wealth of experience. We have been diving for about two weeks and if what we have seen is any indication of her work ethic, she will be really successful. She wants to final at SEC’s and qualify and score at NCAA’s in her first year.”

Allie Alter joins her after owning a proven track record on the Junior National level.

“Allie has been a tremendous trainer,” Shaffer said. “She has been a Junior National finalist, an AAU Champion and has been involved with the US Diving Circuit for years.

Her strength is platform. She has the capability to go to the conference championship and do well her first year on platform. She can score on springboard as well.”

Izzy Choquehuanca, who also competed on the Junior National level, rounds out the diving class.

The swimming class welcomes seven new swimmers who will be counted on to score points this season. Megan Cox, Jesse James and Danielle Stirrat have the ability to make an impact individually and on relays.

“When you look at those three girls a little bit, you have three swimmers who will compete for a spot in the 800 freestyle relay or all three of them could be on it,” Geyer said. “Megan and Jesse both have some individual medley experience. Megan is more of a middle distance freestyler.

Jesse is a bit more of a distance freestyler.

They both come down for the 200 and 400 IM. Throwing in Danielle as well as training partners moving forward is great. Danielle

TORREY BUSSEY

had a phenomenal summer. She swam ok at the British Trials, but she came back at a senior championship meet in Great Britain and really swam great.”

Taryn MacKenzie is another talented international swimmer to keep an eye out for.

“She comes from South Africa and is roommates with Danielle,” Geyer said. “It is good to have that international connection there. They both have high goals of qualifying for the 2016 Olympics. It is a discussion that I had with them. Those actions do not start in 2015 or 2016. Those actions started yesterday or two weeks ago. They get that and understand that, which is good. They have long term goals and their heads are focused on their goals.”

Stacey Stanfield, Caley Oquist and Rebecca Werdine also will look to make their mark this season.

“Caley is going to fly under the radar a little bit because she came from a high school only type setting in Minnesota,” Geyer said. “I think there is great deal of potential ahead of her now that training is a lot more structured, disciplined and serious.

I look for some quick development from her.

Stacey has had some ups and downs the past two years. She had a great high school state meet a year ago. Now she is getting back on track and will use this freshman year as an experience. Rebecca is a walk-on for the program and for her it is about understanding what this level is about.”

PREVIEW

2012-13 Men’s Season Preview CRAIG HAMILTON

Swimming Coach Dave Geyer and Diving Coach Doug Shaffer enter their third season as co-head coaches.

The LSU men’s program finished in the top-five at the SEC Championships for the second consecutive season. The team scored over 150 points more than the season before and returns a talented core.

The squad returns NCAA Honorable-Mention All-Americans in senior distance swimmer Craig Hamilton and junior diver Daniel Helm. The team also returns SEC Bronze Medalists senior Andrei Tuomola and sophomore Frank Greeff. Four freshman swimmers will add to the depth of the team.

SENIORS Craig Hamilton holds LSU’s all-time records in the 500 freestyle (4:19.12), 1000 free (8:57.90) and the 1650 free (14:45.14). He finished third in the mile at SEC’s and 10th in the mile at NCAA’s. He established himself as one of the nation’s top distance swimmers by dropping his mile time by over 15 seconds in the month between the SEC Championships to the NCAA Championships.

“I am excited for his senior year. Every time he competes he gets faster,” Geyer said.

“We have some lofty goals this year. He was about a second and a half off in the mile from being top-eight last year at NCAA’s. That is the positive. We weren’t too far off from being there already. We were right there last year. If he was in a different lane at NCAA’s, next to the guy who finished ninth, he might have been eighth overall with that push. They were in opposite sides of the pool in that race. It is certainly there.”

Tuomola is a dual-competitor in the 100 breaststroke and in the sprint free events. He took bronze in the 100 breast (53.82) with the program’s third fastest all-time mark at the SEC Championships.

“Andrei is always getting faster and has been a little bit short of qualifying for NCAA’s,” Geyer said. “There is a new selection process for the meet that will hopefully work in his favor. He is motivated and he knows this is it. His native country of Finland has started taking a notice of his again as far as National Team stuff, which is exciting to him. He wants to

36 LSU

2012-13 SWIMMING & DIVING MEDIA GUIDE

keep those dreams and goals alive for international competition as well.”

Nick Kunkel registered his fastest season to date and will look to translate his success in his senior season. He finaled in the 100 backstroke, 200 backstroke and 200 individual medley at the conference championships. He finished sixth in the 200 back (1:45.36) at SEC’s.

“Nick has set some big goals for SEC’s and wants to get a podium finish in the 200 back,” Geyer said. “He understands the work that needs to happen in the water and out of the water to make that happen. He is another senior that has developed from freshman year.”

Zack Wepasnick notched his top competitive season last year and provides the Tigers with another multi-stroke competitor. He posted a pair of top-15 swims in the 100 breast and the 200 breast and swam the program’s eighth best 200 IM (1:49.72) at the SEC Championships.

“Zack had some struggles his sophomore year in the water and out of the water. It set him back again, but once we got back on track and got his junior year under our belt with consistent training, he began swimming fast again,” Geyer said. “I firmly believe that it takes a full year of training underneath you before you really see the dividends. That is where he is at now. We have the full year and the improved strength in the weight room.

His senior year should be the most successful that he has.”

Raymond De Padua made an impact in his first season after transferring from the junior college ranks. He posted a top-20 swim in the 200 butterfly at the conference meet.

Timmy Dasinger enters his final season as one of the program’s top student-athletes are being named to the SEC Community Service Team. In the water, he posted the team’s third fastest 200 free and 200 fly times for the season.

“Timmy had a great summer. He had the goals of qualifying for Olympic Trials and put the commitment into that from the end of SEC’s on,” Geyer said. “It came into fruition and turned out well. It is an example for any athlete who puts their mind to it. Leadership from him is valuable to our team. He has experience and seen a lot. He has hit the lows competitively and hit the highs competitively. He understands the process which is really important for a young team to see.”

Andrew Muller qualified for the SEC Championships and swam the 50 free, 100 free and 200 free. In his second season in the SEC, Muller will look to repeat and final at the conference meet.

Jesse Lyman will look to return from his injury late in the season and make an impact.

“Jesse has been historically unhealthy at the wrong times,”Shaffer said. “Every hiccup

2012-13 Men’s Season Preview ANDREI TUOMOLA

and break from training affects you because your competition is still training and moving forward. If Jesse can stay healthy and focused on his goals, he has the opportunity to do some great things.”

JUNIORS Daniel Helm will look to build on his 12th place finish on the platform at the NCAA Championships and his silver medal on the one-meter springboard at the SEC Championships. His diversity on all three surfaces provides Helm with an opportunity to score in all three events.

“Daniel develops a little bit stronger every single day he is in the water and with his training,” Shaffer said. “He had a good training summer going into the Senior National Diving Circuit. He is coming into the year in better shape and stronger than he has ever been. We have set some really high goals. He wants to win a conference championship and final at the NCAA’s. He wants to do a full list off of the 10-meter tower. Those are all things within his realm of capability.”

Sean McKiney finished 11th on the three-meter at SEC’s. Shaffer believes that McKinney is going to be one of the most improved athletes within the conference this season.

“We learned some things about Sean last year, “Shaffer said. “I believe that this year will be Sean’s breakout year. We learned some things about his training and what makes him tick a bit more. A couple tweaks to the approach and to the mental side has already started to make some key improvements in his program. Sean wants to qualify at NCAA’s and final at SEC’s.”

On the diving side, Kevin Leong posted a pair of top-15 finishes at the SEC Championships on the one-meter and the platform.

“He has been a solid performer in dualmeet competition, but has yet to move into the realm of competing at an elite level at SEC’s and potentially qualifying for NCAA’s,”Shaffer said. “He can qualify for NCAA’s and can score there. That is where our goals are set. We are starting off with

KEVIN LEONG

a hard training regime that is focused on our fundamentals to hopefully carry us a little bit further in the championship part of the season.”

In swimming, Ricardo Alvarado Jimenez made a huge impact in his first season with the program. The Mexico native was the team’s top 200 breast performer, swam in the A final of the 100 breast and 200 breast and captured the B final of the 200 IM at the SEC Championships.

“We expect him to be better than last year,” Geyer said. “He has that expectation. There were times last year where his training was not as consistent as where it needed to be. He realizes that and sees that. We are addressing that every day and ready to move forward.”

Michael Saco appeared to show little signs of rust after missing the second half of his freshman year with an injury. Saco finished 11th in the 50 free at SEC’s and was a part of the team’s season bests in the 200 free relay, the 400 free relay and the 200 medley relay.

“Michael was beat up pretty good his freshman year and got some things straightened out his sophomore year after getting some consistent training in,” Geyer said. “He had a pretty solid SEC’s and he carried that into the summer. He had a phenomenal 50 freestyle to qualify for Olympic Trails. With a consistent year under his belt, we are looking for some fast times.”

Shane Coltharp with compete in free, back and IM events as he seeks a return to the SEC Championships.

SOPHOMORES The sophomore class immediately made an impact in their rookie seasons.

Frank Greeff led the team in three individual events and was a member of four of the team’s top relays. He earned a bronze medal at the SEC Championship with the program’s second fastest all-time 200 breast mark of 1:45.03, which earned him a spot on the All-SEC Freshman Team.

Michael Young also was named to the

DANIEL HELM

All-SEC Freshman Team after swimming the fastest 100 back (48.16) posted by a freshman in a sixth place finish. He also finished 10th in the 200 back at SEC’s.

Dillon Love added versatility with his ability to swim the 200 back and the 500 free. He qualified for the B final at the SEC Championships and cranked out the program’s all-time eighth fastest 200 back time of 1:46.72.

“Dillon, Frank and Michael are three guys that had great performances at SEC’s and were able to score points,” Geyer said. “They have set the expectation upon themselves to raise that level again. For Dillon and Frank, it definitely is a team experience for them. They are looking at that 800 freestyle relay that was just off the school record looking last year and they want to demolish that record this year. More importantly, they have their eye on qualifying that relays for NCAA’s. Both of those guys are pivotal in getting that relay there.”

Fellow sophomores Sam Jardine, Tyler Jusselin and Mathew Schaefer enjoyed their first tastes of SEC competition in their freshman seasons.

“I think that for them they gained a lot of experience last year stepping into a higher realm of training and competition,” Geyer said. “They really got their eyes opened to what SEC swimming is all about.

For Matt, Sam and Tyler it is about making adjustments now in the water that puts them in a more competitive position within our program and the SEC.”

MICHAEL YOUNG

through the ranks of swimming because of the lack of opportunity and pools. To get him here, I think there is still a load of potential ahead of him. I have had the opportunity to watch him the past five or six years training within our facilities with the local club team. I think it is important for those two to help improve and increase the awareness of swimming in Louisiana.”

Alexander Linge arrives on campus as someone who has a load of potential. He has competed for Sweden on the senior level and will predominately swim the 100 and 200 free and 100 and 200 fly.

“I am excited about Alex,” Geyer said.

“He came in recruiting wise a little bit under the radar. Sweden has taken a liking to him and has started taking a look at him for national events. What we’ve seen already is that he can probably drop down to the 50 free once he gets used to yards and nailing that turn a little bit. He can certainly compete in the 200 free and 200 fly.”

Gabe Rooker is a US Olympic Trial participant who will challenge for the conference in the breaststroke events.

“We are excited to have him. I feel the Pacific Northwest can be a hot bed in terms of recruiting,” Geyer said. “Last week at Centenary he threw down a 100 breast time slightly over 57 seconds, which is incredible because we have done minimal breaststroke work training wise. He trains really well and at a very high level. He can be phenomenal this year.”

FRESHMEN The freshmen class will see four swimmers looking to score points at the SEC Championships and boost the team’s relays. Baton Rouge natives Grant Grenfell and Colin Finnegan will attempt to make an impact early on.

“It is always important when you have local talent to start to rise up to try to put the boundaries up and keep them in state,” Geyer said. “For Collin and Grant I think it was pretty easy to come to LSU. For Grant, this state doesn’t see a lot of talent rising 2012-13 SWIMMING & DIVING MEDIA GUIDE

THE

SOUTHEASTERN

CONFERENCE

Setting the Standard for Intercollegiate Athletics in Swimming and Diving Over the past few decades, the Southeastern Conference has been a constant force in swimming and diving. In 2012, the SEC had a top-five NCAA finish at the women’s championships. The Georgia women finished as the runners-up at NCAA’s for the second consecutive year while Auburn and Tennessee tied for a seventh place finish. Florida took 10th to round out the top 10 finishers on the women’s side. Auburn (sixth) and Florida (eighth) had top-10 finishes in the men’s standings to further the league’s claim as the best conference in swimming and diving.

2012 marked the 43rd consecutive season in which the SEC has placed at least one men’s team in the top 10. Since 1969, 112 SEC teams have finished in the NCAA’s top 10. In addition, two individual titles were captured by a SEC team. The SEC now has an all-time total of 162 NCAA individual titles. On the women’s side, three titles were captured individually to take the SEC’s total to 232 NCAA individual titles. Since 1982, the Southeastern Conference has placed 86 women’s teams in the NCAA top 10.
