SPRINT FREESTYLEKentucky’s sprint freestylers are all veteran returners who struck forcareer-best times last season. Pulskamp paves the way in the 50- and 100-free and was a top-15 finisher in both races at the SEC Championships asa junior.

UK’s depth continues with senior Sydney Witzky, juniors JennaNewsome and Kayla Sergesketter and sophomores Kelsi Hall, LindsayLash and Chelsea Peterson. Hall led the squad as a freshman by tappingin 12th place in the 50-free at the conference meet and qualified for theNCAA Championships. All of the women secured career-best times ayear ago and five of their times were etched among the school’s all-timetop-10 lists.

MIDDLE DISTANCE FREESTYLEMiller paces the middle distance group after securing the best finish at theSEC Championships in the 200-free. Conelly will look to Miller to fill amultitude of roles, including pacing the middle distance group.

Sophomore Mandy Myers, Sergesketter and Peterson help form aproductive core in the mid-distance range. Adding to the depth will besenior Anna Sirmon and sophomore Claire Archibald, who have both alsoseen time in this range, but it is not their top stroke.

DISTANCE FREESTYLESergesketter is the top returner for the Blue and White for the gruelingdistance races after last year’s seniors Leah Harms, Haleigh Kerns and KellyRames departed.

After achieveing five school records, including three individual times a year ago, theKentucky women’s swimming and diving team is looking to new heights in 2009-10.The women return a number of key components from a season ago, including

record holders Casey Miller, Chatham Penrod and Megan Pulskamp.

“This team possesses the talent to have a really good season if everybody continues to makestrides and continues to improve,” coach Gary Conelly said. “We’ve changed the way we traina bit to help maintain the team’s conditioning for the long haul, which I think will paydividends for this group.”

Despite a small squad in numbers, Conelly believes this team has the depth and talent tomake waves both at the conference meet and on the national scene.

Myers has also seen action up to the 1,000 range, but Conelly is extremelyexcited about the addition of freshman Trina Winsor to the distance group.Winsor joins the squad from California where she was tabbed an All-American in high school.

BACKSTROKEJunior Chatham Penrod captured a school record in the 100-back as asophomore and returns to the lineup as the team’s top returner. Penrod hasbeen a mainstay among the medley relays since her first season and isquickly becoming one of the top performers in the conference. Hot on herheels is the equally talented Archibald. The tandem returns after posting theteam’s best times in both backstroke events a season ago.

Adding to the depth are Lash and sophomore Amanda Lehotan, who bothturned in impressive performances as freshmen. Newsome and Myers havealso seen action in the rotation during dual meets. Joining UK this seasonare newcomers Megan Eppler, Katie McRoberts and Kelcy Perry, who willall compete in the backstroke events.

BREASTSTROKEJunior Lindsey Graessle is UK’s top returner in both breaststroke eventsafter surging up the UK record books and earning 15th place in the 100-breast at the SEC Championships and qualifying for the NCAAChampionships as a sophomore.

Sophomore Jenna Willis emerged late in the season to etch her nameamong the UK top-10 list in the 100-breast with her 26th-place finish ather first career conference meet. With a full collegiate season under her belt,Conelly believes Willis is on the verge of becoming a scorer for the Wildcatsin both breaststroke events.

Hall and Miller have also occasionally seen action in the breaststroke eventsand are candidates to fill the rotation during dual meets.

BUTTERFLYPulskamp is Kentucky’s career record holder in the 100-fly after turning inan All-America performance a season ago by placing 14th in the country inthe event. She also took second in the event at the conference meet and ispoised to continue her assent in the shorter fly race. Pulskamp is a strongenough swimmer to also compete in the 200-fly, but her top races come inthe shorter heats.

Sirmon is UK’s top returner in the 200-fly after earning a top-20 finish at theSEC Championships and continually improving each and every season. Lash,Mattox, Miller and Myers will all also compete in the butterfly events.Adding to the rotation is Perry, who holds her high school record in the 100-

fly.

INDIVIDUAL MEDLEYMiller tallied the squad’s best times in both medley events as a junior andwill once again be looked upon to lead the Wildcats in this discipline.

Archibald is strong in all four strokes and put together a quality time in the200-individual medley as a freshman. Lash, Lehotan and Willis allcompeted in the shorter medley race as freshmen as well. However, Conellyis equally excited about the edition of Eppler and McRoberts to the depthof the medley races. Both newcomers have the ability to secure good timesfor the Wildcats in the event in both distances.

DIVINGFor the second consecutive season, the UK women will utilize the abilitiesof just one diver – this year in the very talented transfer Lisa Faulkner.Faulkner was the Colonial Athletic Association’s Rookie Diver of the Year in2008 at George Mason and possesses the discipline and talent to be one of

SPRINT FREESTYLEConelly has tabbed the sprint freestyle discipline as his deepest lineup. EricMcGinnis was a top-eight qualifier in both sprint events as a junior at the SECChampionships. He added to his accomplishments as a swimmer when hejoined the United States as a member of the 2009World University Games,where he won a gold medal as a member of the 200-freestyle relay team.

Burrows, Forbes, Greene and Grobbelaar are all among UK’s top performersall-time in the records books in both the 50- and 100-free events. SeniorChris Richard and junior Colin Faris both put together their best seasons ascollegiate athletes a year ago – and also rank among UK’s all-time top-10charts in those events.

Adding to the depth of the lineup are newcomers Chip Aplin, JohnBlankenhorn and Mack Redinger.

MIDDLE DISTANCE FREESTYLEReed headlines this group for the Wildcats. The Kentucky native has postedconsecutive seasons of All-America distinction after adding another top-15finish in the 200-free at the NCAA Championships as a sophomore.

Greene, junior Reinhardt Strijdom and sophomore Morne’ Boshoff form apotent quartet of mid-distance swimmers in dual meet action and all fourhave the capability of earning NCAA bids. The four combined also form aquality 800-free relay squad.

Freshmen Travis Green and Pat Kemme will also compete in this disciplineand could challenge for one of the coveted relay spots.

Expectations are plentiful for the 2009-10 edition of the UK men’s swimming and divingteam. The Wildcats return 20 letterwinners and six All-Americans from a team thatplaced 17th at the NCAA Championships a season ago.

“The expectations for the men’s team are extremely high simply based on the number ofquality returners we have coming back,” head coach Gary Conelly said. “The core nucleusreturns from a year ago and they were a top-20 team last season.”

Seniors Elvis Burrows, Alex Forbes, Kyle Greene, Warren Grobbelaar and Eric McGinnis haveall earned All-America status throughout their careers in the Blue and White. As a unit they areunquestionably among the top tier of athletes for the Wildcats, but their drive and leadership intheir final seasons could provide UK with the spark to achieve a top-10 national finish.

DISTANCE FREESTYLEBoshoff earned All-SEC Freshman team honors after placing in the top-16at the SEC Championships in the 1,650-freestyle. He will continue to racein the distance events and is challenging the UK record books in all threegrueling races.

Seniors Kevin Ryan and Marco Iemmola and sophomore Ben Russell adddepth to the veteran lineup. Conelly is extremely excited about thepossibilities of Green’s potential in the longer races. Helping the Wildcats inthis event will also be freshmen John Bullock and Brendan McNamera.

BREASTSTROKESophomore Grant Cooksey turned in an impressive first season for theWildcats as the top performer in this discipline. As a freshman he postedthe team’s best times in both breaststroke events. However, Conelly has seenthe emergence of senior Julio Vallette as an extremely positive developmentfor the Wildcats. Together the tandem provides the Wildcats with a talentedone-two punch in the event that does not have the depth in numbers assome other events for the Blue and White.

Eric McGinnis joined the Wildcats in the 200-medley relays at the NCAAChampionships in the breaststroke leg of the race and helped guide UK to atop-10 finish in the event. Senior Justin Max, sophomore Matt Russell andKemme will also contribute to the breaststroke discipline.

BACKSTROKEDeparting All-American Shane Eliason leaves a void in UK’s backstrokelineup, but it is not one that Conelly believes will be difficult to fill.Grobbelaar is a magnificent sprint backstroker and could possibly fill in onthe short medley relays in that leg of the event.

Greene has been a consistent top-16 backstroke performer in all three of hisseasons with UK. Sophomore AdamTwer enjoyed an outstanding first seasonwith the Wildcats charting top-10 UK performances in both backstroke legs.

However, it is the addition of freshmen Zach McGinnis, Tripp Crosthwaiteand Ramon Walton that has Conelly particularly excited about thepotential of this group.

BUTTERFLYBurrows has performed well on the national stage for two consecutive summersand last season topped Grobbelaar’s school record in the 100-fly. HavingGrobbelaar return to the lineup forms a dazzling one-two combination. Forbescontinues to flourish as well in the 100-fly to add to the depth.

Seniors Travis Muzzillo and Max and sophomore Matt Russell will all appearin the 200-fly events. Adding to the fire power are freshmen Jonathan Keltnerand Maclin Simpson in the longer fly event and David Sanders in the 100.

INDIVIDUAL MEDLEYGreene, Boshoff , Cooksey and Twer all have competed in medley eventsthroughout their careers. They all are incredibly disciplined in the fourstrokes and will continue to look to improve on their times as they progressthroughout the season.

Four freshmen in Bullock, Crosthwaite, Simpson andWalton will provideConelly a deep group of medley swimmers.

DIVINGSophomore Tom Gimm and freshman John Fox form the diving tandemfor the 2009-10 season. Gimm was a quick learner for coach Ted Hautauand produced his best performances at the SEC Championships. Fox willimmediately contribute after winning the class 5A Colorado statechampionship as a senior in Littleton, Colo. TOM GIMM

U K S W I M M I N G H I S T O R Y

The first UK swim team was known as the “dry land swimming team”because UK did not have a pool. And since the University did not recognizeswimming as a sport, the group had to purchase their own swimsuits andtravel to Eastern State (now Eastern Kentucky University) in Richmond justto practice. Nevertheless, their determination paid off as some of theswimmers borrowed automobiles to travel to practice and meets, whileothers hitchhiked. Thus, UK’s first men’s swim team was formed.

Hinkebein, a UK track and football (team captain 1938) star, became coachand captain of the team at its inception. He turned over coaching dutieswhen the UK Athletic Council recognized swimming as a varsity sport, toanother student swimmer, Lloyd Ramsey, who lettered two years inbasketball under Adolph Rupp. Hinkebein continued to swim for theWildcats, and it was under Ramsey that the team won its first KentuckyState Intercollegiate Meet.

During its first three years of existence, the UK swim team had built up anenviable record, never losing a dual or state meet in Kentucky and beingdefeated only four times by outside competition. The pride of the UKsquad was the medley team, undefeated in three years, that was made up ofHinkebein, Ramsey and James “Bud” Scott of Chicago. Two years later, UKwould compete in its first SEC Championship meet and finish seventh.

UK discontinued its swimming program in 1942, but in 1951, one yearafter the completion of Memorial Coliseum and UK’s first swimming pool,the program was reinstated. Alfred M. Reece, a health and physicaleducation instructor, was selected as coach and guided the team to thirdplace in the 1954 SEC Championships. Reece’s teams fared well against in-state schools with comparable programs, but were no match for institutionsthat offered full scholarships. UK offered only two tuition scholarships.

The University realized a renewed interest in swimming in 1964, when ithired Wynn Paul as head coach. Paul, a top-class swimmer at the University

of Louisville, was undefeated in the 200-breaststroke and was named theOutstanding Swimmer in Kentucky by the Courier-Journal in 1958 and1959. Paul introduced water polo to UK in 1964. The water polo programwas discontinued in 1982 to make way for the newly created women’svarsity swim program.

Ron Huebner, a UK swim letterman who graduated in 1968, succeededPaul that fall and produced winning teams during a four-year tenure. Paulreturned to the helm of the program in 1973, and it was under his directionthat the team won the Kentucky Intercollegiate Swim Championships in1975 for the second time in UK swim history.

From 1970 to 1983, the UK women’s swim team competed only as a clubsport. Originally included as one of six sports chosen to become varsity in1974, the team was nudged out by field hockey because UK’s then 20-year-old pool was inadequate and too overcrowded to accommodate the additionof another varsity team.

In 1980, the then-volunteer women’s swim coach filed a sex discriminationCivil Rights Title IV complaint to the federal government, which led to theruling that UK needed to sponsor an additional team for women. Thus, thecreation of UK’s first women’s varsity swimming program occurred on July1, 1983, with Paul named head coach.

The program has continued a strong combination of academics andcompetiveness. The swimmers boast a winning record in the classroom, asover 95 percent of the swim Cats have graduated.

Kentucky’s swimming program, now under the guidance of 19th-year coachGary Conelly, is recognized as a force to be reckoned within the SEC.

(Adapted from “UK All Sports Media Guide” 1984-85, Russell Rice, Editor).

In 1936, the thought of having a swimming program at the University of Kentucky was justan idea tossed around by a group of water-lovers with skill and determination. At thattime, a pair of athletes named Bob Freeburg of Chicago and Sherman Hinkebein of

Louisville went about the campus in search of talent among the student body. Organizing asquad of men who loved to swim was easy, but other obstacles stood in their way.

“Our top goal is to create a comprehensive training program, whichencompasses the areas of speed, power, strength, agility, flexibility, balanceand nutrition,” Tracey-Simmons said. “Through these avenues, we areproviding the athletes with the tools they need to reach their athleticpotential while remaining injury-free.”

The primary focus of the facility is the development of core strength usingground-based, multi-joint lifting through use of the Olympic lifts. Byincorporating this explosive style of lifting, athletes become more powerful,resulting in an increase in speed. The core of the athlete’s body also is trainedand complemented with a variety of lifts, including squats, lunges,plyometrics, presses, pulls, trunk rotation and abdominal exercise. Throughthe combination of these exercises, the athletes are better able to reach theirgoals.

Tracey-Simmons attempts to be as sport specific as possible while stayingwithin the structure of the ground-based philosophy. The focus is basedaround explosive lifts that help them use their power off of the blocks andon their turns combined with strength endurance to help them maintaintheir speed and form while battling lactic acid build up in their muscles.

All of the incoming swimmers go through a four-week orientation to ensurethat proper technique is used as well as to help lay a solid foundation forstrength gains. After this four-week period, they are placed in one of thetwo upperclassmen’s groups depending upon their events. All of the liftsused are put into place to make better swimmers.

John Spurlock trains the divers. Their focus is on being as explosive as possibleoff of the board for maximum jump height. The divers spend a lot of theirtime working on Olympic style lifts, core strengthening exercises and shoulderpre-habilitation work. It is necessary for divers to be able to control theirbodies in space, as well as to be as strong as possible in the overhead position in

order to reduce the risk of injury while entering the water.

With the help of staff nutritionist Jill Kindy, the Shively staff also helpseducate the athletes on nutrition and supplement awareness.

Every squad trains together at Shively, promoting team chemistry andteamwork. Through this set-up, teams work on mental toughness, attackinggoals and maintaining a positive attitude, keeping everyone moving toward

The Kentucky swimming and diving team calls Shively Training Center its home forstrength and conditioning. The 2,000-square foot complex is under the direction ofCoach Stephanie Tracey-Simmons and features a variety of free weight equipment,

which complements the training philosophy of the Shively staff.

When he arrived in 2002, Barnhart’s first move was to totally support all 22varsity sports with the maximum number of scholarships and coaches,along with the facilities, equipment and support staff needed to make thoseteams successful.

The commitment to fully fund every sport produced never-before-seensuccesses in UK athletics, with first-ever Southeastern Conferencechampionships in baseball, men’s golf and women’s tennis.

Perhaps the biggest on-field turnaround has been in football, whereBarnhart’s hire of Rich Brooks has led the Wildcats to bowl wins in threeconsecutive years, the first time that has been accomplished in UK’s 117seasons in the sport.

In order to make the dreams a reality, Barnhart spearheaded record-breaking growth in philanthropic giving, ticket sales and a comprehensivemulti-media rights agreement.

Barnhart’s connection to UK student-athletesis evident by his individual interaction anddedication to provide the support servicesnecessary to meet their needs. UK Athleticsspends more than $1.5 million annually on itsnationally renowned Center for Academicand Tutorial Services. He also began theCATSPYs, an annual awards program thathonors the best of UK Athletics.

Additional initiatives begun under Barnhart’sleadership include the UK Athletics Hall ofFame and the Joe Craft Center, a $30 millionfacility that includes new practice andadministrative space for a variety of sports.

Barnhart’s influence reaches far beyond thefields of competition. Despite athletics’urgent financial needs, Barnhart initiated a$1.2 million annual contribution to theUniversity’s scholarship program, acontribution that is being increased to $1.7million this year.

Social responsibility in the Commonwealthof Kentucky is a priority for Barnhart, whohas been extremely active in communityservice and encourages the UK athletics staffto do the same.

Not content with past successes, Barnhart’sambitious course for the future was revealedwith his recent announcement of the“15x15x15” plan. The goals are to win atleast 15 conference or national

championships and rank among the NCAA’s top 15 athletic programs by2015 – all of which would represent unprecedented achievements for UKAthletics – while continuing to expand UK Athletics’ service to the localcommunity and commonwealth of Kentucky. Another goal of the initiativeis a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average for UK’s 500 student-athletes.

Barnhart arrived at Kentucky from Oregon State, where he served foursuccessful years (1998-2002) as athletics director. Before his term at OSU,he worked in athletics administration posts at Tennessee (1986-98),Southern Methodist University (1983-86), Oregon (1983) and San DiegoState (1982-1983).

Barnhart, 50, is a native of Kansas City, Kan. He received his bachelor’sdegree from Ottawa University (Kansas) in 1981 and a masters in sportsadministration from Ohio University in 1982.

He and his wife, the former Connie Brown, have three children, Kirby,Blaire and Scott.

M itch Barnhart is in his eighth year at the University of Kentucky, withunparalleled accomplishments in his past and unprecedented goalsfor the future.

UK opened CATS in 1981, the nation’s first academic center dedicatedexclusively to student-athletes. Over the years, as the services offered byCATS have grown, so did the need for additional space.

As a result, UK built a new facility - the Ohio Casualty Center forAcademic and Tutorial Services - thanks to a one-million dollar grant fromthe Ohio Casualty Insurance Group. The Ohio Casualty Center opened in1998 at a total cost of $2.4 million.

Much of the credit for UK’s academic success goes to the AthleticsAssociation’s academic support system - the Center for Academic andTutorial Services, or simply, “CATS.”

CATS, constructed in Memorial Coliseum, includes:

> 20,000 square feet of space - more than double the size of the formerCATS facility

> A computer room housing 35 computers

> A study area which accommodates 90-100 people

> 24 tutoring rooms

> A career development and life skills resource center

> A community outreach office

> Offices for the staff

Certainly, a facility is a good start, but any program - especially inacademics - is only as good as the people who run it. And UK is fortunateto have outstanding leaders in its academics support system.

Bob Bradley, associate athletics director for Student Services, oversees the CATSprogram. Bradley was named National Academic Advisor of the Year in 1989and 1992. In 2000, he was selected as the CHAMPS Life Skills Coordinator ofthe Year by the NCAADivision I-A Athletic Directors Association.

CATS has a full-time staff of 11. In addition to Bradley, they are:

> Barb Deniston,Director of Academic Services

> Mike Haley,Director of Advising Services

> Michael Stone,Senior Academic Counselor

> Amy Craiglow, Dan Childs,Jon Ross and Katrina Sally,Academic Counselors

> Martina Martin,Lifeskills Coordinator

> D’Ann Blankenship andDustin Lewis,Staff Assistants

The University of Kentucky has made a commitment to put the student-athlete at theheart of the program. The cornerstone of that commitment lies in the academicsuccess of the University’s student-athletes. And at UK, that success stems from the

resources within the Ohio Casualty Group’s Center for Academic and Tutorial Services.

OHIO CASUALTY CENTER FOR ACADEMIC & TUTORIAL SEVICES

CATS also employs seven graduate assistants and numerous tutors, both from the University and thesurrounding community. UK has budgeted more than $1,000,000 for the operation of CATS in thecoming year.

“We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished in the academic arena,” Bradley said. “The CATSprogram is focused on winning in the classroom. We look at each student-athlete’s individual needs, set goalsand develop strategies to attain those goals. Our center provides our student-athletes with a definiteadvantage over student-athletes at many other institutions. Our goal is to show that we care about thestudent as well as the athlete.”

For the CATS staff, showing you care means more than helping athletes maintain eligibility, graduate or winawards. The academics staff also prepares student-athletes for life after college with the Wildcat CareerDevelopment Program.

The Career Development Program helps student-athletes look to the future through a step-by-step process,which includes:

> Mentoring and internships, which help determine career interests;

> Career counseling;

> Resume writing; and

> Forming a career plan.

The Wildcat Career Development Program works closely with the University’s Career Planning andPlacement Center in order to provide additional assistance when needed.
