Aquatic Facilities In 2019-20, the WVU swimming and diving teams moved into their new home at the Aquatic Center at Mylan Park, a brand new, state-of-the-art facility that opened in the fall of 2019. Initial planning for the new complex began in the fall of 2015, when nine public entities, including West Virginia University, committed to collaborate in building a state-of-the-art aquatic and track complex at Mylan Park.

The aquatic facility is approximately 75,000 square-feet with a 50-meter competition pool and seating for 1,200 spectators. The aquatic center will include a diving pool and tower, a warming pool, therapeutic pool, a family water park, an outdoor sun deck, two wet classrooms, a cardio fitness room, training space, locker rooms and multipurpose rooms for meetings and special occasions.

Recognizing the need for an Olympic-sized, 50-meter pool, the community and WVU worked together to make this possible. A $48 million facility, the Aquatic and Track Complex at Mylan Park is a community facility for all ages. It now serves as the home to WVU’s swimming and diving, cross country and track and field teams. Construction began on the complex in August 2017.

In the team’s inaugural season at the Aquatic Center, the Mountaineers hosted nine home meets, including the 2020 Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championship and the 2020 NCAA Zone A Diving Championships, both of which came to Morgantown for the first time in program history.

2023-24 SEASON PREVIEW The West Virginia men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams are on the verge of hitting the water for the 2023-24 season.

The Big 12 Conference continues to be one of the premiere athletic conferences in the United States, and West Virginia is annually competing with the top programs in the country.

YOUNG TALENT FLASHES ABILITY The Mountaineers had many young talents show their ability in the pool. In her first season, sophomore Mia Cheatwood broke three WVU records. Cheatwood broke the program record with the 200-yard freestyle relay team and broke the record with the 200-yard medley relay team. Cheatwood also set a new record in the 100-yard breaststroke event (1:00.56) at the WVU Invitational. Sophomore Ada Szwabinska was integral piece of many relay teams throughout the season at various events for West Virginia. Szwabinska was part of the 200-yard freestyle relay team that won a silver medal at the Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championship. Szwabinska also helped earn three bronze medals at the Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championship in the 200-yard medley relay event, the 400-yard freestyle relay event and the 400-yard medley relay event. For the men’s team, sophomore Max Nielsen was regularly competing with the top talent in each event. Nielsen was part of the 800 freestyle relay team that earned a bronze medal at the Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championship. Nielsen also placed eighth in the men’s 500 freestyle event at the Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championship.

Berlitz was also part of four relay teams at the Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championship that earned two bronze medals and two silver medals.

WVU VICE PRESIDENT/DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

WREN BAKER

West Virginia University President E. Gordon Gee named Wren Baker as WVU’s Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics on Nov. 30, 2022. WVU’s 13th director of athletics came to Morgantown from the University of North Texas, where he had been the associate vice president and athletics director since 2016. With previous stops at Missouri, Memphis, Northwest Missouri and Rogers State, Baker brought more than 20 years of experience to WVU. Baker has oversight of 18 varsity sports, a department budget of more than $90 million, approximately 250 employees and nearly 500 student-athletes. In his first year at West Virginia, Baker has hit the ground running and has never looked back. He has traveled the state to learn its culture, met Mountaineer fans from all over the world, fundraised for his department, addressed budget concerns, put his touches on a new premium club space at the Coliseum and even hired coaches in women’s and men’s basketball. While he is a native Oklahoman, he has certainly been adopted as the newest Mountaineer by West Virginia fans. As an athletics director, he has now led 20 head coaching searches, and his hires have a combined 75% winning percentage. At North Texas, seven Mean Green programs (men’s cross country, volleyball, women’s soccer, football, men’s basketball, women’s golf and softball) combined to win 17 conference or division championships during Baker’s tenure, and the overall athletics department’s winning percentage in the last year was the best in the modern era. In 2019, every Mean Green team achieved a winning season for the first time in school history. UNT also reached new heights in the classroom under Baker’s leadership, posting its top APR scores and four consecutive department Graduation Success Rate (GSR) records. For the first time ever, every Mean Green team recorded a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher with the Spring 2022 department GPA hitting a 3.206 average. Baker led record fundraising years at North Texas as the school registered its four best fundraising years in its history, and the overall top five largest gifts ever at UNT came under Baker’s leadership. He guided North Texas athletics to a school record for fundraising in a single year, nearly doubling the previous department record. UNT ticket revenue increased by 125% under Baker, and football attendance grew by 71%, while men’s and women’s basketball crowds grew by more than 60%. Additional achievements at North Texas included a five-year strategic plan, new 20-year

facilities master plan and lucrative contracts for multimedia rights, licensing, apparel and equipment. Baker also led the charge to renovate eight different UNT athletic facilities, while spearheading the design and fundraising for three new facilities including a track and field/soccer stadium, golf practice facility and an indoor practice building. One of the biggest moments in the history of North Texas Athletics came under his watch, when UNT was invited to join the American Athletic Conference beginning in July 2023. Prior to North Texas, Baker was the deputy director of athletics at Missouri from 2015 to 2016, serving as the top advisor and chief of staff. He was responsible for assisting with all aspects of administration and led the external unit, helping Mizzou to a record fundraising year. He also served as the interim director of athletics at Missouri before moving on to North Texas. Before Missouri, he spent time at Memphis from 2013-15 as deputy athletics director. He secured the largest gift in the university’s history as Memphis posted its best fundraising year ever. While setting a school record for fundraising, major gifts and multimedia rights revenue, Baker also grew Memphis’ scholarship fund, was the sport administrator for men’s basketball and worked closely with football during a two-year run that included the Tigers’ first conference championship in football in more than four decades. From 2011-13, Baker was athletics director at NCAA Division II power Northwest Missouri State, where he secured the largest gift in the

athletics department’s history for improvements to the football stadium. Under Baker, Northwest Missouri saw its revenues increase by 60%, and he hired head football coach Adam Dorrel, who led the Bearcats to three consecutive national championships. From 2006-11, Baker served as the first athletics director at Rogers State in Claremore, Oklahoma, where he was also the school’s first men’s basketball coach. His team went 20-11 in his only season at the helm, and RSU teams combined to post a nearly 70% winning percentage despite being a start-up athletic program. During his tenure, Baker developed a full-scale collegiate athletics program. In 2005, he was the principal and athletics director for Valliant Public Schools and, at age 26, was the youngest principal in Oklahoma history. Originally fom Valliant, Oklahoma, Baker earned his bachelor’s degree in education from Southeastern Oklahoma State in 2001 where he was a member of the honors program. He went on to earn his master’s degree in education leadership from Oklahoma State in 2003. While at Oklahoma State, Baker was a graduate assistant and basketball operations assistant for the Cowboys’ men’s basketball program under legendary head coach Eddie Sutton. During Baker’s time with OSU, the Cowboys posted a 102-30 record, reaching four NCAA tournaments, and advanced to the 2004 Final Four and the 2005 Sweet Sixteen. Baker and his wife, Heather, a Bokchito, Oklahoma, native, have two daughters, Addisyn and Reagan.
