COACHING STAFF

CYNDI

In addition to the Olympics, Gallagher has also placed many UCLA swimmers on international teams, including the World Championships, Pan-Pacific Games, World University Games, Goodwill Games and the Pan-American Games. More than a dozen U.S. and foreign National A and B teams have also featured swimmers coached by Gallagher.

Head Swimming Coach 30th Season UCLA ‘83

All told, Gallagher has coached 88 All-Americans who have earned a total of 194 AllAmerican awards in her 28 years as head coach, and she has made her mark on national and international U.S. coaching staffs as well. She served on the advisory coaching staff for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and was selected as assistant coach at the 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2006 World University Games. She also served as assistant coach for the 1995 U.S. National Junior Team that competed in Paris, the 1994 U.S. National Distance Camp, the assistant coach for the Japan International Grand Prix and the 1993 US Olympic Festival.

All of that international coaching experience paid off when she was selected to serve as USA’s Head Coach at the 2007 World University Games.

GALLAGHER

Cyndi Gallagher, one of the top college coaches in America, enters her 30th season as head coach of the UCLA Bruins in 2017-18, having compiled an impressive won-loss record of 189-99-1. An intrinsic part of the UCLA Athletic Department for the past 34 years as a student-athlete, assistant coach, and head coach, her dedication to UCLA swimming and diving and to her former and current athletes is unparalleled.

During Gallagher’s tenure at UCLA, her swimmers have completely rewritten the school record book and 21 different Bruins have won at least one event at the Pac-10/12 Championships.

But it’s not just the crème de la crème who thrive under Gallagher’s guidance.

Gallagher is also proud of the composition of the team that qualifies for the NCAA’s, a team that, more often than not, includes several “walk-ons” who have gone on to be NCAA All-Americans. Bethany Goodwin scored in the 100 Fly and Kristen Lewis was in both the 100 and 200 Fly. Also, Lewis was a semi-finalist at the 2004 Olympic Trials in the 100 and 200 Fly and Goodwin went on to make several U.S. National teams and set a World University Games record while winning the 50 Fly.

A 1983 graduate of UCLA, Gallagher had an illustrious career both as a school record holder for the Bruins and as a USA National Team member. Representing the U.S.A. National Team in Europe, Japan and Australia, she competed at the Olympic Trials in 1976 and 1980 and was a bronze medalist in the 800-meter Freestyle at the 1979 World University Games in Mexico City.

In the Classroom

For the Record

Gallagher’s commitment to excellence in the classroom is shown in her student-athletes’ many academic achievements. Exhibit A, of course, is NCAA Champion and Olympic gold medalist Salmeen, who was named a Rhodes Scholar - UCLA’s eighth-ever and first since 1973 - and also earned an NCAA stayed involved in swimming as an elected Athlete Representative for USA Swimming.

Gallagher is one of the few coaches in the nation who coaches at her alma mater. A highly successful student-athlete for UCLA, she garnered All-American honors, set several school records and earned recognition as the university’s “Most Valuable Athlete.” As a coach, she has attained an even higher level, coaching Olympians, Olympic medalists, NCAA and USA national champions and national team members. She was recognized again by Team USA when she was named to the 2014-2015 U.S. National Team coaching staff.

During her magical senior year in 1996, Salmeen won two Pac-10 titles (100 and 200 Fly) and was named UCLA Female Athlete of the Year and Alumni Association Outstanding Senior. She also received the NCAA Top VIII Award, presented to only eight NCAA studentathletes annually for excellence in academics and athletics. In addition, Salmeen was an NCAA Woman of the Year finalist. During her Bruin career, she was a two-time team MVP, named the team’s hardest worker on three occasions, voted most inspirational twice and graduated with UCLA records in the 200 Butterfly, 200 Free and 500 Free. Salmeen graduated from UCLA with honors in chemistry (3.94 GPA) in 1997 and earned her PhD in biochemistry at Oxford in 2001. In October 2006, Salmeen was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame.

Over the years, Gallagher has compiled an enviable record of success. In nine of her 29 years at the helm of UCLA women’s swimming, her Bruins have finished among the nation’s Top 10 teams. They’ve been among the Top 15 teams in 15 of her years.

High Expectations Gallagher and her first-rate coaching staff have high expectations of their athletes, both in and out of the pool. These expectations, in turn, attract elite, intelligent, dedicated, goal-oriented and well-rounded student-athletes.

Known for her strong work ethic and positive attitude, Gallagher leads by example. She inspires her athletes to believe in themselves and to follow their dreams, teaching them to be attentive to detail and to find a way to improve their swimming at every practice session.

Gallagher also understands the importance of enjoying swimming and competing, and to embrace the process of becoming a great athlete. Part of being a successful collegiate athlete is learning how to balance all the requirements of being a student-athlete. Part of being a successful person once outside of the swimming world, is learning to do the same. Gallagher believes you can achieve anything you set your mind to, as long as you have the preparation and perspective, and have confidence in your abilities.

Along with Salmeen and Lewis, Keiko Price, Brighed Dwyer and Katie Younglove were also honored with coveted NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. Younglove was named a Verizon Academic All-American and numerous Bruins have received Pac-10/12 All-Academic recognition. It’s no accident that the Bruin swimmers are consistently represented on the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll.

Gallagher’s ultimate goal in coaching is to have each athlete reach her full potential, both as an athlete and as a person. She is most proud of her former athletes for their accomplishments and contributions to society after graduating from UCLA. Gallagher’s swimmers have gone on to earn Masters degrees and PhD’s, and to become successful teachers, lawyers, scientists, doctors, engineers, businesswomen, ministers and mothers.

She also believes that teamwork and team unity are essential elements for success, citing them as key ingredients in the team’s Pac-10 Championship seasons of 2001 and 2003.

The Last Decade

Reaching Their Potential

2016-2017: The Bruins made over the school record book to the tune of eight new swimming marks and two new diving ones. Senior Linnea Mack (50 Free, 100 Free, 100 Back) established three UCLA individual marks of her own and had a hand in all four new top relay times (400 Free Relay, 800 Free Relay, 200 Medley Relay, 400 Medley Relay).

Senior Madison White (200 Back) added the fourth solo record.

Producing Olympians is always among Gallagher’s highest priorities. In 1996, she became one of the first female coaches to place an athlete on the U.S. Olympic team when Annette Salmeen qualified for the Atlanta Games in two events - the 200 Butterfly, which she won at the Olympic Trials, and the 800 Freestyle Relay. Salmeen, who had already become Gallagher’s first national collegiate champion when she won the 200 Fly at the NCAA’s, went on to win Olympic gold as a member of the triumphant USA 800 Free Relay.

UCLA defended its home pool, going undefeated at Spieker Aquatics Center. Included in that run were wins over Pac-12 foes Oregon State, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah. The A3 Performance Invitational once again proved to be a home away from home for the Bruins, who claimed their second consecutive win at the event with nine wins over the course of the three-day, 10-team gathering. Ultimately, the conference campaign culminated in a fifth-place finish at the Pac-12 Championships and a No. 20 ranking at NCAAs. Six Bruins (Eloise Belanger, Katie Grover, Sarah Kaunitz, Mack, Maria Polyakova and White) garnered All-America honors from the Collegiate Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA).

Four years later, Gallagher placed another Bruin in the Olympics when Marilyn Chua, representing Malaysia, swam the 50 Free at the Sydney Games. In 2000 and 2004, the Bruins’ Malin Svahnstrom represented her native Sweden at the Games, swimming in the 800 Free Relay both times and coming away with a silver medal.

During the summer of 2008, Gallagher guided three athletes to Olympic teams - 2006 graduate Kim Vandenberg, 2009 graduate Nicolette Teo (competing for Singapore in her third Olympic Games) and four-time Olympian Amanda Beard. Vandenberg won a bronze medal as a member of the 800 Free relay, while Beard and Teo competed in the Breaststroke.

Out of the pool, the Bruins were again recognized nationally for their academic success, as they received Scholar All-America acclaim from the CSCAA. Twelve student-athletes earned individual recognition. UCLA also topped the Pac-12 with 23 conference All-Academic team 5

COACHING STAFF members. Emily Hammond and Annika Lenz picked up First-Team accolades.

2010-2011: Numerous All-American honors were garnered at the NCAA Championships, highlighted by Lauren Hall’s record-breaking swims in the 200 IM (7th) and 400 IM (10th), Brittany Beauchan’s 200 Breaststroke (10th), Jahanshahi’s 200 Butterfly (11th) and Sam Vanden Berge’s 12th-place school record swim in the 1650 Free. The 800 Free Relay (13th) also earned All-American honors. The season was also highlighted by multiple schoolrecord swims: Cynthia Fascella (100 Free), Alex Sullivan (200 Free), Vanden Berge (500, 1650 Free), Hall (200 and 400 IM) and the 400 Medley and 400 Free Relay and 800 Free Relay. UCLA finished 20th at the NCAA Championships and fourth at the Pac-10 meet.

2015-2016: The Bruins set three school records at the NCAA Championships en route to a 17th-place finish. Linnea Mack broke her own records in the 50 Free and 100 Back at NCAAs, while Pac-12 Freshman Diver of the Year Eloise Belanger set a new record in the 1-Meter. At the Pac-12 Championships, Mack broke her own school record in the 100 Back twice in one day--first in the championship final of the 100 Back and again as the lead-off leg in the 400 Medley Relay. The junior also broke her school record in the 100 Free to finish fifth overall.

2009-2010: The Bruins had one of the best meets for individual performances during Gallagher’s tenure as head coach. At NCAA’s, Beauchan was a double All-American performer in the Breaststroke events (ninth in both), while Bianca Casciari (7th, 200 Fly), Hall (13th, 400 IM) and Vanden Berge (13th, 1650 Free) also earned honors along with the 400 Medley (16th) and 800 Free Relay (14th) teams. Multiple school records fell in the pool behind a talented group swimmers ranging from freshmen to juniors. The Bruins finished 19th at the NCAA Championships.

On September 17, 2015, it was announced that Bruins Caroline McTaggart and Emma Schanz had been selected to the 2015-16 USA National Junior Team. McTaggart was selected in the 100 Free and 100 Fly events, while Schanz made the cut in the 200 Breast.

A total of eight Bruins were named to the CSCAA Scholar All-America Team (Marie-Pierre Delisle, Katie Grover, Katie Kinnear, Annika Lenz, Ciara Monahan, Maria Polyakova, Sandra Soe, and Arlyn Upshaw). Grover, Kinnear, Lenz, and Polyakova earned first team honors.

At the Texas Invitational, Caroline McTaggart broke one of the oldest UCLA freshman records in the 200 Free and Grover swam a career-best to win the 200 Fly, moving her to fourth on UCLA’s All-Time list.

2008-2009: The Bruins had a young team, but saw much success and improvement throughout the year. Several swimmers achieved marks on UCLA’s all-time top-eight, while Madeleine Stanton (100/200 Back) and Hall (400 IM) set new school records. Numerous NCAA qualifying marks were achieved, but another unbelievably fast swim season saw only Stanton and Hall advance to the NCAA Championships.

2014-2015: The Bruins set five school records at the Pac-12 Championships and broke two of those records while setting new ones at the NCAA Championships en route to a 23rd-place finish. At Pac-12s, UCLA set records in the 200 IM Relay (Madison White, Allison Wine, Noelle Tarazona, Mack), 100 Breaststroke (Wine), 400 IM Relay (White, Wine, Tarazona, Mack), 400 Free Relay (White, Mack, Grover, Monica Dornick), and 1650 Free (Katy Campbell).

2007-2008: Gallagher had 11 athletes qualify for the U.S. Olympic Trials, while four qualified for International Trials. She coached three Beijing Olympians - Vandenberg, who earned bronze with the 800 Freestyle Relay; Teo, who competed for Singapore in the Breaststroke; and Beard, who competed for Team Bruin in the 200 Breaststroke. Gallagher had three swimmers compete at NCAA’s with Teo earning All-American honors in the 100/200 Breaststroke. Anna Poteete broke the 50 and 100 Freestyle records during the year as a young team represented UCLA throughout the season.

In the very first heat of the very first race of the NCAA Championships, Mack, Grover, White, and Dornick bettered the Bruins’ season-best time (1:30.03) by nearly a second with a 1:29.05 to set a school record in the 200 Free Relay. In the 400 IM Relay, White, Wine, Tarazona, and Mack bested their previous school record of 3:34.54 set at Pac-12’s with a 3:34.25. On the final day of NCAAs, Dornick, Mack, Gover, and White set a new school record in the 400 Free Relay with a 3:15.83.

Away From the Pool Coach Gallagher’s life away from the pool revolves around her family and friends. She has a daughter, Tori, a 2008 graduate of the University of Colorado in Boulder. Gallagher resides on the beautiful beach of Marina del Rey.

Earlier in the season, the Bruins claimed first-place at the 2014 AT&T Winter National Championships in Greensboro, N.C. (Dec. 3-6), as five UCLA swimmers recorded top-five finishes on the final day of competition to secure the victory with 441 points. Linnea Mack finished fourth in the individual rankings with 65 points.

Eight Bruins were named to the CSCAA Honorable Mention All-America Team (Baker, Kinnear, Mack, Murphy, Quah, Senko, Noelle Tarazona, White). In August, UCLA swimming completed an outstanding summer when Katy Campbell won the 1500 Free at the U.S. National Championships, the Bruins’ first winner of a National Championship since 2004.

In addition, Mack was named to the USA National Junior Team.

2012-2013: Nine Bruins were named to the CSCAA All-America Teams, as UCLA posted its best NCAA finish (17th) since 2007. The 11 dual meet wins, including victories over Arizona and Arizona State, were the most in program history for a single season. UCLA had a pair of First Team All-Americans, as Quah finished seventh in the 100 Fly at the NCAA Championships and Emma Ivory-Ganja placed seventh in the Platform diving event.

The Bruins broke seven school records (100, 200, 1000 and 1650 Free, 100 Fly and 200 and 400 Free Relays). UCLA was fifth at the Pac-12 Championships.

2011-2012: Gallagher had 13 current UCLA swimmers who were 2012 Olympic Trials participants.

During the 2010-2011 season, Winn finished third on Platform at the Pac-10 Championships and competed at the NCAA Zone E Championships. Winn also competed at her first Senior National Meet and qualified for the 2012 Olympic Trials on Platform. Paulina Guzman had a solid first year with the Bruins as she also competed at Zones. Guzman also represented Guatemala at the Canada Cup meet in May of 2011.

Head Diving Coach 20th Season at UCLA 22nd Season overall Yale ‘96

The 2011-2012 season was keyed by Emma Ivory-Ganja, who was named Pac-12 Conference Newcomer of the Year for diving after a very successful freshman campaign which saw her finish third on both 3M and Platform at the conference meet. Ivory-Ganja also set a new meet record on 3M at the Pac-12 Championships and narrowly miss a spot at the NCAA Championships after placing fourth on Platform at the Zone E meet.

Ivory-Ganja and 2011 graduate Winn also competed at the U.S. Olympic Trials.

In 2012-2013, the UCLA diving team sent its first Bruin to the NCAA Championships since 2009 when Ivory-Ganja qualified by virtue of her fourth-place finish in the 3M at the NCAA Zone E Championships. At NCAA’s, Ivory-Ganja won the B Final of the 3M event and was also seventh in the Platform, to earn her First Team All-America status, and 29th in the 1M. Ivory-Ganja, the only diver to post three top-five finishes at the previous year’s NCAA Zones (fourth in Platform, fifth in 1M), was one of three Bruins to participate in the event. Vale’s best showing was 21st in the 3M, while Guzman’s top performance was 24th in the 3M. Montana Monahan qualified for the Senior Nationals, finishing 21st in the Platform event.

Tom Stebbins enters his 20th season as the head coach of the UCLA women’s diving team in 2017-18, a program that has had much success since his tenure in Westwood began.

Last season, Stebbins was at the helm for his most impressive one yet, garnering the first Pac-12 Diving Coach of the Year award of his career while guiding Maria Polyakova to the first conference Diver of the Year honor of his tenure. Before coming to UCLA, Stebbins served as head diving coach at Fordham University, where he coached two-time senior national qualifier Paul Delo, who won two Atlantic 10 titles each on the 1M and 3M. Stebbins also helped coach Delo to an undefeated record in the 1996-97 season.

In 2013-2014, three Bruins qualified for the NCAA Zones in Guzman, Monahan and freshman Annika Lenz. Lenz was fourth in the Platform event, ninth in the 3M and 14th in the 1M at Zones, setting a personal best (329.80) in the 3M at the Pac-12 Championships.

Lenz won four dual meet events and was named Pac-12 Diver of the Month for November.

Monahan was 15th in the Platform at NCAA Zones, while Guzman was 16th in the 1M.

Coach Stebbins’ Background Stebbins was a four-year letterwinner at Yale University, a three-time NCAA Zone qualifier and a four-time All-Ivy League selection. While diving at Yale, he helped lead his team to the 1993 Ivy League co-title. In 1996, he won the Heaton High Point Award and was named the recipient of the Phil Moriarty MVP Prize. Stebbins graduated from Yale in 1996 with a degree in psychology. A native of Connecticut, he now resides in Playa del Rey with his wife Erika, daughter Reilly and son Owen.

In the summer of 2014, Lenz won a silver medal in the Platform at the AT&T USA Diving National Championships with a personal-best and National Meet-best score of 312.60.

She was the seventh-highest women’s point scorer, also competing in the 1M (15th), 3M (22nd) and Synchronized 3M (4th). Incoming freshman Maria Polyakova won a pair of silver medals at the FINA World Junior Diving Championships in September in the 1M and 3M, also placing third in the Synchro 3M.

The Stebbins Philosophy “Luck sits squarely at the intersection of hard work and opportunity.”

Coach Stebbins believes that each person is in total control of creating her own luck. The UCLA Diving program stresses the need for the individual to be accountable to herself, her teammates, her sport, and her studies. With all of the wonderful opportunities presented to student athletes at UCLA, it is important that each person know that she is responsible for the decisions and directions that she chooses. This is the beginning of a lifelong process in which the student-athlete learns how to maximize herself academically, athletically, and socially. While the coaching staff hopes to steer this direction, it is the student-athlete herself that will determine how quickly she will achieve her goals.

In 2014-15, Maria Polyakova was named the Pac-12 Newcomer of the Year after an historic initial season in Westwood, which culminated in a fourth-place finish in the 3M at the NCAA Championships. She became the first Bruin to qualify for a championship final since 2013, posting the best showing ever for a UCLA diver at NCAA’s and the best Bruin finish at Championships since 2006. During her historic performance in the 3M, Polyakova broke her own school record twice with a 380.60 in the preliminaries and a 392.00 in the championship. Sophomore Annika Lenz, who set a UCLA school record in the Platform at the Pac-12 Championships (323.15), finished fourth at the NCAA Zone E Diving Championships in March.

Coach Stebbins believes, “We are all very fortunate to be part of the greatest athletic program in the country. How we choose to give back to that tradition should go well beyond the few moments each individual will spend competing in the Bruin Blue. Becoming a Bruin is just the beginning of a lifelong commitment to creating excellence in every facet of your life. As coaches, we are all here to enhance the early stages of that process, through our passion, dedication, and enthusiasm for the people whose lives we have the opportunity to touch.”

In the summer of 2015, Polyakova won gold in the 1M, while also finishing second in the Synchronized 3M and fifth in the 3M, in the inaugural European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Polyakova also won the Women’s 1M at her 2015 Summer National Championships in Russia and finished ninth in the 1M finals at the FINA World Championships. Ciara Monahan

The Last Decade During the 2007-2008 season, the Bruin divers continued a run of success, as Samaniego led the way, advancing to the NCAA Championships on 1M and 3M. She was the NCAA Zone E Champion on 3M and tallied seven dual meet wins during the year. Schofield won every invitational Platform competition she was entered in and the Bruins saw much success and improvement from Brittany Hill, Shannon Pirozzi, Laura Winn and Morgan Erpenbeck.

The 2008-2009 campaign was another great year for the diving squad, as Samaniego and Schofield competed at NCAA’s, earning All-America Honorable Mention accolades. Winn had a huge year, narrowly missing the Pac-10 title on Platform with a runner-up finish.

Samaniego won the Pac-10 1M crown, was the NCAA Zone E champion on 3M and tallied seven dual meet wins during the year. Schofield won every invitational Platform event in which she entered and was the NCAA Zone E Champion in the event.

The 2009-2010 season saw a small squad of four divers represent the Bruins. Winn and Karina Silva led the way as all four competed at the NCAA Zone E Championships. Silva set a new school record on Platform during the prelims at Pac-10’s and ended up finishing second overall, while both her and Winn were finalists on Platform at the Zone meet. The summer of 2010 saw Silva earn a bronze medal on 1M and a gold medal on Platform in her Spanish National Championships, qualifying her to the European Championships. Winn qualified to her second Senior National Championship on Platform, where she finished 22nd overall and Michelle Vale made her debut at the Senior meet in the 3M Synchro

HIGASHIJIMA

In 2015-16, Eloise Belanger was named the Pac-12 Newcomer of the Year after posting a runner-up finish in the Platform event at the Pac-12 Championships. She also placed third in the 1M and fourth in the 3M. The freshman’s standout debut season culminated in a second-place finish in the 1M event at the NCAA Championships. Her score of 336.00 in the finals set a new UCLA record in the event, previously held by Marisa Samaniego.

Once again, Maria Polyakova had a stellar season, twice earning Pac-12 Diver of the Month honors and winning 12 of 14 regular season diving competitions. The Bruin sophomore captured the 1M crown at Pac-12s and went on to post two top-five finishes in the springboard events at the NCAA Championships. Junior Annika Lenz placed fourth in the platform event at Pac-12s. During the summer season, all three Bruins went on to compete at the Olympic Trials for their respective nations.

Associate Head Swimming Coach Sixth Season Oregon State ‘04

Naya Higashijima, one of the most decorated swimmers in Oregon State history, enters her sixth season with the Bruins in 2017-18 after previously coaching at UC Santa Barbara for six years.

Honors were heaped upon the Bruins in 2016-17, with Maria Polyakova the most decorated of all. The junior was named Pac-12 Diver of the Year after a red-hot close to her campaign that began with her second Pac-12 championship in as many years. The Penza, Russia native took the 3M competition while reaching the podium in the 1M and Platform events en route to the Diver of the Meet award. Polyakova went on to set two school records at the NCAA Zone E Championships, posting scores of 398.75 and 339.05 in the 3M and 1M events, respectively. In all, the 2016-17 Bruins qualified four divers for the NCAA Championships after strong showings at Zones. Joining Polyakova were sophomore Eloise Belanger, senior Annika Lenz and junior Ciara Monahan. Polyakova went on to cap her remarkable season with a pair of top-five finishes, while Belanger scored points in the 1M and Platform competitions. Belanger and Polyakova were also named CSCAA All-Americans for their performances. Those two also made UCLA the only school to tally multiple Pac-12 Diver of the Month awards as Stebbins went on to capture his first Pac-12 Diving Coach of the Year honor.

The Kawaguchi, Japan native served as an undergraduate assistant from 2004-2005 at OSU before heading to UCSB. As a swimmer at Oregon State, she helped her team place in the Top 25 at NCAA’s for the first time in school history. To this day, she still holds the dual meet career win record with 104 victories. Higashijima set five individual and one relay record during her career, and two of those individual records still stand to this day. In 2002, as a junior, she finished 10th at NCAA’s in the 200 Fly, and the following season she scored a First Team All-American honor by touching eighth in the same event.

As a coach at UCSB, Higashijima worked primarily with sprinters and recruited for both the men’s and women’s teams. She helped coach 13 men and women to 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials qualifying marks, which was the most in school history at that time. UCSB had seven All-Americans and All-Academic honorees for the women’s team during her time, as well as two scholar-athletes of the year and seven Big West Conference team titles. She also helped the women’s team to a Top 25 showing at the NCAA’s for the first time since 1988.

Summer 2017 was a busy one for the globe-trotting Bruin divers, beginning with Polyakova reaching three final rounds at the FINA World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

Additionally, Monahan and Traci Shiver were joined by incoming freshman Alice Yanovsky at the 2017 USA Diving National Championships in Columbus, Ohio, while Polyakova competed alongside Australian newcomer Ruby Neave at the 29th Summer Universiade in Taipei. Polyakova went on to earn a bronze medal in the Mixed Synchro 3M.

Higashijima’s father, Shinji, was a national record holder in the individual medley and currently works for FINA. Her mother, Kaoru, was a national champion swimmer in college in the middle distance events and currently is a swim coach. Her brother, Issei, was a national record holder in the 5k and the team manager at Michigan for the men’s team in 2005 and 2006, while her youngest brother, Sho, helped the men’s basketball team at Pima Community College in Tucson advance to the national championships in the 2009-2010 season.

DIRKS POOL AT SPIEKER AQUATICS CENTER

Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center has served as the home for UCLA swimming and diving since 2009.

Dirks Pool at Spieker Aquatics Center The Spieker Aquatics Center brings together all three of UCLA’s intercollegiate aquatics sports - men’s and women’s water polo, and women’s swimming and diving - to one venue. The state-of-the-art facility was made possible thanks to a generous lead gift from former UCLA studentathlete Tod Spieker and his wife, Catherine. Tod was an All-America swimmer at UCLA, competing from 19681971, and continues to successfully compete in Master’s Swimming.

The UCLA Athletics Department unveiled the Spieker Aquatics Center on Sept. 26, 2009, when the Bruin men’s water polo team hosted UC Irvine under the lights. Prior to that evening’s water polo match, the Athletics Department hosted a private reception at the new, state-of-the-art facility. In addition, Spieker Aquatics Center served as host to the 2010 MPSF Women’s Water Polo Tournament, marking the first time that UCLA had hosted a water polo tournament.

The Bruins’ new aquatics center is the home to UCLA’s men’s and women’s water polo, and swimming and diving teams. The facility features a 52-meter by 25-yard all-deep water pool with a dividing bulkhead, allowing races to take place at varying distances (meters versus yards). The pool also features four platforms on a diving tower, at heights of three, five, seven and one-half, and 10-meter platforms, as well as one and three-meter springboards. The aquatics center also features a warming pool behind the tower for divers.

The main pool, Dirks Pool, is named after Carolyn Dirks, who provided the lead gift for the swimming pool. Dirks Pool will also be used for special use events and Masters Swim meets. The signature feature of the Spieker Aquatics Center is the diving tower, which sits at the pool’s west end. The east end houses the new scoreboard, an LED, state-of-the-

Next to the scoreboard is the “Wall of Champions”, showcasing UCLA’s water polo, and swimming and diving national championship teams, as well as all individual student-athletes’ achievements, record holders and Olympians.

Separate men’s and women’s locker rooms house enough lockers for all team members. Equipment needed for meets and matches have storage capacity on the facility’s south side. The aquatics center features event lighting and permanent seating with the possibility of additional 35

Young Drive North and Bellagio Way. From the 405 Freeway, exit Sunset and head east. Turn right on Westwood Plaza and then right on Charles E. Young Drive.

ADMINISTRATOR BIOGRAPHIES

Dan Guerrero

Gavin Crew

Dr. Gene Block

Director of Athletics 15th Year UCLA ‘74

Associate Athletic Director 1st Year UCLA ‘99

Chancellor 10th Year Stanford ‘77

Fourteen years and 27 NCAA Championships later, Dan Guerrero’s mantra of ‘image and substance’ has clearly been established at a level that few others in his profession can approach. At the department’s helm when UCLA Athletics became the first to 100 NCAA team championships, the Bruins’ current total of 113 NCAA titles is a figure unmatched by any institution in the nation. While UCLA teams have indeed won 27 NCAA championships since his appointment, another national leader, they have also finished second 26 times and have enjoyed an additional 56 Top Five finishes.

In fact, more than 80% of UCLA teams have qualified for NCAA post-season competition since 2002. The football team has appeared in 12 bowl games, while the men’s basketball team advanced to consecutive Final Fours from 2006-08 and has made five trips to the Sweet 16. The program has also won 62 conference championships in 15 different sports, produced over 600 All-Americans and featured eight Honda Award winners, including the 2003-04 Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year.

Guerrero, recently named the 2014 NACDA Under Armour Athletic Director of the Year award, is the only athletic director at the NCAA Division I level (FBS, FCS and NCAA Division I-AAA) to earn three such awards (2006-07 at UCLA, 2001-02 at UC Irvine). In his 14 years at UCLA, the Bruins have finished second four times and third four times in the race for the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup. While success on the playing field with 27 NCAA Championships in 14 different sports and 26 second-place finishes during his tenure are extraordinary numbers, UCLA’s academic success under Guerrero is equally noteworthy. Over 14 years and 42 quarters, student-athletes have earned nearly 9,500 spots on the Director’s Honor Roll. UCLA’s Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and Academic Progress Rates (APR) continued to remain high nation-wide. The Bruin student-athlete GSR is currently at 86%, and every Bruin team maintained multi-year APR rates over 960, including three who achieved perfect scores of 1000 (women’s golf for the seventh consecutive year, men’s water polo and men’s volleyball).

Guerrero came to UCLA from UC Irvine, where he had served as UCI’s fifth permanent Director of Athletics for 10 years (1992-2002), helping to elevate that program to unprecedented success. Prior to arriving at UCI, Guerrero worked at Cal State Dominguez Hills, where he led that program to national prominence while serving as Athletic Director for five years (1988-92).

A proud alumnus of UCLA, Guerrero received his Bachelor’s degree from the University in 1974 and played second base for the Bruins for four years. Known as “Warrior” during his playing career, he was inducted into the UCLA Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996. The Bruin Athletic Director earned a Master’s degree in Public Administration in 1982 from Cal State Dominguez Hills and was named to the Pi Alpha Alpha Honor Society for Public Affairs and Public Policy that same year.

Gavin Crew was named Associate Athletic Director for Sports and Administration in April 2016. He has spent over a decade with the Bruins, from 2001-2005 and 2008-present.

Crew oversees eight sports in his role - men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, men’s track & field (indoor and outdoor) and women’s track & field (indoor and outdoor). Additionally, he supervises the Camps & Clinics office and serves as tournament director for NCAA, Pac-12 and MPSF Championship hosting. Crew is a member of Athletic Director Dan Guerrero’s senior staff.

In his first stint in the UCLA Athletics Department, he oversaw the expansion of the Camps & Clinics office to a year-round business operation, managing the growing demand for athletic camp operations in Westwood. From 2005-2008, Crew worked with Excel Sports Officiating to help train and work with officials, umpires and referees in all sports and at all levels. Upon his return to UCLA in 2008, Crew once again oversaw the camp office and added championship coordinator to his plate. In addition to continuing the growth of the camp operation into a $4 million revenue generator for the Athletic Department, he has also executed several major NCAA, Pac-12 and MPSF Championships on campus, including the 2013 NCAA National Collegiate Gymnastics Championship, 2013 NCAA National Collegiate Men’s Volleyball Championship, 2015 Pac-12 Track & Field Championship, 2014 and 2016 NCAA Women’s Basketball 1st/2nd Rounds, 2015 NCAA National Collegiate Men’s Water Polo Championships, and the 2016 NCAA National Collegiate Women’s Water Polo Championships.

Crew graduated with a degree in Political Science from UCLA in 1999.

Originally from Irvine, Calif., Crew lives in the Silver Lake neighborhood with his wife, Cassidy.

Dr. Gene Block became chancellor of UCLA in summer 2007, taking the helm of a world-class institution comprising 37,000 students and 27,000 faculty and staff, with an annual budget of $3.6 billion. As chief executive officer, he oversees all aspects of the university’s three-part mission of education, research and service.

Previously, Dr. Block served as vice president and provost of the University of Virginia, where he also held the Alumni Council Thomas Jefferson Professorship in Biology. With academic expertise in biological clocks, he conducts research on the neurobiology of circadian rhythms in higher organisms, leading a research lab funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). From 1991 to 2002, he directed the National Science Foundation’s Science and Technology Center for Biological Timing. In 1997, he was named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has invented a number of devices and holds a patent for a non-contact respiratory monitor for the prevention of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Dr. Block joined the faculty of the University of Virginia in 1978 as an assistant professor of biology. He served as vice provost for research from 1993 to 1998 and then as vice president for research and public service until his appointment as vice president and provost in 2001. He also headed an NIH graduate training program aimed at increasing the number of scientists from underrepresented groups. In 1998, he received the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Outstanding Public Service Award for his work with Virginia’s business community.

A native of Monticello, NY, Dr. Block holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Stanford University and a master’s and Ph.D.in psychology from the University of Oregon. He also completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford, working with the late Colin Pittendrigh, “the father of biological timing” and distinguished biologist and former Stanford President, Donald Kennedy. Dr. Block and his wife, Carol, have two adult children.

PAC-12 CONFERENCE Built on a firm foundation of academic excellence and superior athletic performance, the Pac-12 Conference renewed its undisputed claim as the Conference of Champions® in 2016-17, becoming the first conference to win 500 NCAA Championships. Beyond the court’s and fields, the Pac-12’s accomplishments extend into the classrooms across 12 campuses, and outside its traditional geographic footprint into new corners around the world.

(1998, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2006).

En route to becoming the first conference to win 500 NCAA Championships, the Pac-12 led the nation in 2016-17 with 13 NCAA crowns. This haul adds to the an incredible 158 NCAA team titles since 1999-2000 and 300 since 1981-82, the start of women’s sports sponsorship, an average of over nine per year. Even more impressive has been the breadth of the Pac-12’s success with championships coming in 29 different men’s and women’s sports. The Pac-12 has led or tied the nation in NCAA Championships in 51 of the last 57 years, the only exceptions being in 1980-81, 1988-89, 1990-91 and 1995-96 when the Conference finished second, and only twice finished third in 1998-99 and 2004-05.

STANFORD was one of just two schools in the nation to claim four championships. The Cardinal extended its streak of winning an NCAA title to 41 years, holding up the national championship trophy in men’s soccer, women’s swimming and diving, women’s water polo, and women’s volleyball. The OREGON women made history completing the first-ever “Triple Crown,” winning women’s national titles in cross country and both indoor and outdoor track and field. USC also took home a pair of championships winning women’s soccer and its second-straight beach volleyball title.

For the 12th-consecutive year, the Pac-12 had the most or tied for the most NCAA titles of any conference in the country, winning at least six every year since 2000-01. No other conference has won double-digit NCAA crowns in a single year, the Pac-12 doing so nine times, including a record 14 in 1996-97.

Spanning over a century of outstanding athletics achievements, The Pac-12 has claimed 501 NCAA Championships (297 men’s, 174 women’s, 30 combined), nearly 200 more than the next league. It was also the first to win 400 championships then surpassed 450 when Colorado and Utah joined the league in 2010-11.

Pac-12 members have won 297 NCAA team championships on the men’s side, 81 more than the next-closest conference.

Men’s NCAA crowns have come at a phenomenal rate for the Pac-12 - 16 basketball titles by six schools, 54 tennis titles, 47 outdoor track & field crowns, and 28 baseball titles. Pac-12 members have won 25 of 47 NCAA titles in volleyball, 43 of 48 in water polo, 30 in skiing, and 24 in swimming & diving national championships.

2016-17 REVIEW The Conference’s 13 NCAA titles came in the form of a record 10 women’s crowns, two men’s and one combined (skiing - UTAH). Seven members claimed at least one NCAA title and, of the six institutions in the country to have won multiples titles, three were from the Pac-12.

ARIZONA STATE won a record eighth NCAA women’s golf title, CALIFORNIA won its 14th men’s water polo national championship, defeating the Trojans in overtime, while UTAH won its first skiing crown since 2003, and WASHINGTON also made history en route to claiming its fourth NCAA title in women’s rowing, the first program in the 21-year history of the NCAA Rowing Championship to sweep all three grand finals.

In addition to the 13 national championships, the Pac-12 also had runners-up in nine NCAA Championship events: men’s cross country (STANFORD), men’s water polo (USC), skiing (COLORADO), men’s swimming and diving (CALIFORNIA), women’s swimming and diving (CALIFORNIA), men’s golf (OREGON), rowing (CALIFORNIA), women’s tennis (STANFORD) and women’s water polo (UCLA). Overall, the Conference had 38 teams finish in the top four at 24 NCAA Championship events, including at least three teams in the top four in women’s golf, and men’s and women’s water polo.

Participation in the postseason was a common occurrence for the Pac-12 in 2016-17. Of the 23 sports sponsored by the Conference, 21 witnessed at least half its teams participating in NCAA or other postseason action. The men sent 64 of a

possible 100 teams into the postseason (64.0 percent), while the women sent 88 of a possible 126 teams (69.8 percent).

Six Pac-12 football teams earned bowl bids, producing a 3-3 record. Pac-12 Champion WASHINGTON provided the Conference with a College Football Playoff semifinalist for the second time in three years. The Huskies won their firstever Pac-12 Football Championship Game, defeating South Champion COLORADO, 41-10, at Levi’s® Stadium. USC had a dramatic 52-49 victory over Penn State in the Rose Bowl giving the Pac-12 eight of the last 10 Rose Bowl victories in which it was pitted against the Big Ten. UTAH edged Indiana in the Foster Farms Bowl, 26-24. STANFORD got a big defensive stop on North Carolina’s attempt at a two-point conversion with 0:25 remaining in the game and pulled out a 25-23 victory in the Hyundai Sun Bowl. After posting the first 10-win season since 2001, Colorado made its first bowl appearance in nine seasons at the Alamo Bowl. WASHINGTON STATE participated in the third-lowest scoring game in Holiday Bowl history but fell, 17-12.

Four Pac-12 men’s basketball teams earned postseason bids, including regular-season co-champions ARIZONA and OREGON. Pac-12 teams went 10-4 in the NCAA Tournament, buoyed by the Ducks’ run to the NCAA Final Four, their first since 1939. It also marked the fourth-consecutive year a league team has advanced to the Elite Eight, the only conference in the country to accomplish the feat. Joining the Wildcats and the Ducks in the Big Dance were UCLA and USC. CALIFORNIA, COLORADO and UTAH participated in the postseason in the NIT. For the first time in the Conference’s 101-season history, three teams had at least 30 wins, and had four 25-win teams for just the second time ever. Three teams finished ranked in the top 10 in the Associated Press and USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll, the Ducks earning a No. 3 final ranking and the Wildcats a No. 4 rating by the coaches. The Bruins were ninth in that poll.

Pac-12 women’s basketball continued to reestablish itself as a premier league in the sport. After sending two teams to the Women’s Final Four in 2016 for the first time ever, it set the stage for another record-breaking season which saw a record seven teams earn NCAA Tournament berths

Individually, the Conference has produced an impressive number of NCAA individual champions. Over 2,000 (2,292) individual crowns have been won by Pac-12 student-athletes over the years with 1,358 by male student-athletes. Studentathletes have also captured 185 individual titles at combined championships (ie., skiing and fencing).

On the women’s side, the story is much the same. Since the NCAA began conducting women’s championships 36 years ago, Pac-12 members have claimed at least four national titles in a single season on 26 occasions, including a current streak of 17-consecutive years, dating back to 2000. Overall, the Pac-12 has captured 174 NCAA women’s titles, easily outdistancing the SEC, which is second with 100. Pac-12 members have dominated a number of sports, winning 23 softball titles, 23 tennis crowns, 15 volleyball titles, 18 of the last 28 trophies in golf, and 15 in swimming & diving.

Pac-12 women student-athletes shine nationally on an individual basis, as well, having captured an unmatched 749 NCAA individual crowns, an average of over 20 championships per season, including 30 in 2016-17.

The Pac-12’s excellence is further proven in the annual Division I Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup competition, the prestigious award that honors the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. STANFORD won an unprecedented 23rdconsecutive Directors’ Cup in 2016-17 to lead the Conference.

Five Pac-12 member institutions ranked among the top-15 Division I programs, and a remarkable six institutions were in the top 20: No. 1 STANFORD, No. 3 USC, No. 8 OREGON, No. 9 UCLA, No. 12 CALIFORNIA and No. 20 WASHINGTON. At least five member institutions have been ranked in the top 20 in all but one year of the Director’s Cup program, with seven appearing in the top 20 on five different occasions

and an additional three received WNIT bids. OREGON STATE won its second-consecutive Pac-12 regular-season title, but STANFORD emerged at the end of the season as the tournament champion in KeyArena in Seattle, then made its 13th all-time trip to the NCAA Women’s Final Four. Cardinal Naismith Hall of Fame coach Tara VanDerveer cemented herself as one of the greats in NCAA men’s and women’s history, logging her 1,000th-career win and WASHINGTON’s Kelsey Plum shattered the NCAA single-scoring record and was the unanimous national player of the year en route to becoming the all-time women’s scoring record in NCAA history.

The league had a record 15 NCAA Tournament wins, placing two teams in the Elite Eight for the second-straight year. The Pac-12 was also the best-represented conference in the Sweet Sixteen after a league-record five teams advanced.

Four teams appeared in the final Associated Press poll, tying for the most ever for the Conference. Five earned rankings in the USA Today/WBCA poll for the second-straight year with Stanford leading the way at No. 4.

STANFORD won its NCAA-record-tying seventh women’s volleyball national title with four freshmen in the starting lineup. WASHINGTON was the Conference’s regular-season champion for the second-straight year and third time in four years. Eight Pac-12 teams earned NCAA berths, including ARIZONA, OREGON, UCLA, USC, UTAH and WASHINGTON STATE, along with the Cardinal and Huskies. It marked the 17th-consecutive year the league has received at least six bids.

The Pac-12 has dominated the sport of women’s volleyball, winning a record 15 NCAA volleyball titles since 1982.

OREGON STATE represented Pac-12 baseball in the NCAA College World Series after winning the Pac-12 regular-season crown which marked the program’s third title in the last five years. The Beavers were awarded the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, but came up short of the championship series despite recording just the fifth .900+ winning season in NCAA history. OSU was joined by Arizona, Stanford and UCLA in the postseason. The Pac-12 has, by far, won the most baseball national titles of any conference in the country, claiming 28 titles dating back to 1947.

The Pac-12 Conference has historically dominated the sport of softball where league teams have claimed 23 NCAA titles in the 36-year history of the championship. Pac-12 teams captured an unprecedented nine in a row from 1988-1997, then most recently claimed six-straight from 2006-11. Ten teams participated in the tournament in 2017, marking the 21st-straight season the Pac-12 has had five or more teams advance to the postseason, and has had at least three berths every year since the league began sponsoring the sport in 1987. OREGON, UCLA and WASHINGTON advanced to the Women’s College World Series. ARIZONA claimed its 11th all-time Pac-12 regular-season title and first since 2007.

a minimum. During that time, the league’s first commissioner was named. Edwin N. Atherton was Commissioner in 1940 and was succeeded by Victor O. Schmidt in 1944. In 1950, Montana resigned from the Conference and the PCC continued as a nine-team Conference through 1958.

In 1959, the PCC was dissolved and the Athletic Association of Western Universities (AAWU) was formed with Thomas J. Hamilton was appointed Commissioner of the new league.

The original AAWU membership included California, Stanford, USC, UCLA, and Washington. Washington State joined the membership in 1962, while Oregon and Oregon State joined in 1964. Under Hamilton’s watch, the name Pacific-8 Conference was adopted in 1968. In 1971, Wiles Hallock took over as Commissioner of the Pac-8.

Ten years later, on July 1, 1978, the University of Arizona and Arizona State University were admitted to the league and the Pacific-10 Conference became a reality. In 1986-87, the league took on a new look, expanding to include 10 women’s sports. Since then, the Conference has been considered the premier league in women’s athletics, securing the most NCAA titles in women’s sports of any conference nearly every year.

Thomas C. Hansen was named the Commissioner of the Pac-10 in 1983, a role he would hold for 26 years until 2009, when he was succeeded by current Commissioner Larry Scott.

The University of Colorado accepted its invitation to join the Pac-12 on June 11, 2010, and on June 17, 2010, the University of Utah agreed to join the Conference. The Buffaloes and Utes officially became the 11th and 12th members of the Conference on July 1, 2011, the first additions to the league since 1978.

It was during the 2010-11 academic year that Scott helped deliver monumental changes that transformed the Conference into a modern 12-team league. In addition to expanding to 12 teams, member institutions agreed to equal revenue sharing for the first time in the Conference’s history, created two football divisions - the North and the South, and established a Football Championship Game for the first time. He also secured landmark media rights deals with ESPN and FOX that dramatically increased national exposure and revenue for each school, in addition to establishing Pac-12 Networks which guaranteed enhanced exposure across all sports.

Currently, the Pac-12 sponsors 11 men’s sports and 13 women’s sports, with women’s lacrosse a new addition for the 2017-18 academic year and beach volleyball having been added in 2015-16. Additionally, the Conference is a member of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) in four other men’s sports and two women’s sports.

The Pac-12 Conference offices are located in the heart of San Francisco in the SOMA district.

PAC-12 CONFERENCE HISTORY The roots of the Pac-12 Conference date back more than 100 years, to December 2, 1915, when the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) was founded at a meeting at the Imperial Hotel in Portland, Ore. The original membership consisted of four schools - the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, and Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University). All four are still charter members of the Conference.

Pacific Coast Conference play began in 1916 and, one year later, Washington State College (now Washington State University) was accepted into the league, with Stanford University following in 1918.

In 1922, the PCC expanded to eight teams with the admission of the University of Southern California (USC) and the University of Idaho. In 1924, the University of Montana joined the league roster and in 1928, the PCC grew to 10 members with the addition of UCLA. The Pacific Coast Conference competed as a 10-member league until 1950, with the exception of 1943-45 when World War II curtailed intercollegiate athletic competition to 40
