When swimmers come into the Auburn

program, they do not just improve, but

they fl ourish.

Headed by Olympian Brett Hawke,

along with assistants Richard Long, Aaron

Ciarla, Carrie McCambridge and Frank

Bradley, the Auburn coaching staff works

every day in refi ning technique in strokes,

starts, turns and underwater work.

The work in the pool is coupled with the

dry land workouts in the fall and weight

training with strength and condition-

ing coach Bryan “PK” Karkoska. Working

through PK’s dryland training, Auburn

swimmers are physically prepared for

the training necessary to challenge for a

championship every year.

Auburn swimmers are also aided in

their training by top-notch facilities.

Swimming daily in the James E. Martin

Aquatic Center, a facility that has hosted

SEC Championships, NCAA Champion-

ships and the U.S. Open, the Tigers have

the advantage of training in one of the

fi nest aquatic facilities in the country. In

the summer of 2007, Auburn added its

outdoor pool, a new 50-meter facility

next to the Martin Aquatics Center. Show-

ing the team’s commitment to excellence,

the addition of the new outdoor pool is

another way for Auburn swimmers to

enhance their training and prepare for in-

ternational meets that are held outdoors.

The results of an excellent coaching

staff and one of the top facilities in the

country are seen every day in the times

produced by Auburn swimmers. With re-

cords constantly being broken, Auburn’s

coaching staff and student-atheltes never

rest on the previous year’s success, always

setting new goals - to be faster and better

than anyone else in the pool.

The Auburn Athletics Department’s absolute values are to always tell the truth and to treat others as we would like to be treated. We will also adhere to the timeless values of the Auburn Creed. We will lead the way to integrity, diversity, communications, both internally and externally, compliance and customer service.

We will function as a team, helping each other to be successful, rather than focusing on per-sonal success. We will work for the benefi t of others and for Auburn, not for personal gain. We will have an attitude of constructive discontent; always striving to be better.

“War Eagle”Auburn’s battle cry, not Auburn’s nickname.

There are several legends concerning the origin

of the War Eagle battle cry, dating back to 1864

and the Civil War at the Battle of the Wilder-

ness in Virginia.

Auburn Fight SongAuburn Fight Song

War...Eagle, fl y down the fi eld, Ever to conquer, never to yield.

War...Eagle fearless and true. Fight on, you orange and blue.

Go! Go! Go!

On to vic’try, strike up the band,

Give ‘em hell, give ‘em hell.

Stand up and yell, Hey! War...Eagle, win for Auburn,

Power of Dixie Land!

For over 100 years, eagles have been associated with Auburn University’s football program. From a static presence on the sidelines to

rousing fl ights over the fi eld, WAR EAGLE has become an Auburn icon.

The role of Auburn University’s eagles is to promote wildlife conservation as a part of the education initiatives of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife

Service and the College of Veterinary Medicine’s Southeastern Raptor Center. The USF&WS permits the Raptor Center to house eagles

and use them on hundreds of educational presentations each year – including Auburn’s home football games. Currently, three fl ighted

eagles and numerous other non-releasable raptors are used for these educational programs. Eagles stir emotions in many people as

they have come to symbolize strength, power and courage as well as other important values such as freedom, American heritage and

the preservation of our environment. Golden Eagles Tiger (War Eagle VI), Nova (War Eagle VII) and Spirit (a Bald Eagle) are the eagles

who have inspired football fans with their graceful fl ights over Jordan-Hare Stadium.

On the rolling plains of Dixie

‘Neath its sun-kissed sky,

Proudly stands, our Alma Mater

Banners high.

To thy name we’ll sing thy praise,

From hearts that love so true,

And pledge to thee our

Loyalty the ages through.

We hail thee, Auburn, and we vow

To work for thy just fame,

And hold in memory as we do now

Thy cherished name.

Hear thy student voices swelling,

Echoes strong and clear,

Adding laurels to thy fame

Enshrined so dear.

From thy hallowed halls we’ll part,

And bid thee sad adieu;

Thy sacred trust we’ll bear with us

The ages through.

We hail thee, Auburn, and we vow

To work for thy just fame,

And hold in memory as we do now

Thy cherished name.

Auburn CreedAuburn Creed

I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn.

Therefore, I believe in work, hard work.

I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and

trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully.

I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect

and confi dence of my fellow men.

I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in

clean sports to develop these qualities.

I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all.

I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men

and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all.

I believe in my Country, because it is a land of freedom and because it is my

own home, and that I can best serve that country by “doing justly, loving

mercy, and walking humbly with my God.”

And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in

Auburn and love it.

JayGOGUEPresident Jay Gogue began his tenure as Auburn University’s 18th president on July 16, 2007. The Waycross, Ga., native is a two-time Auburn graduate in horticul-ture, receiving a bachelor’s degree in 1969 and a master’s in 1971. In 1973, he earned a doctorate in horticulture from Michigan State University.

Shortly after returning to his alma mater, Gogue engaged the tal-ent and insight of the Auburn family toward development of a dynamic and forward-looking strategic plan to guide the University for the future. Students, alums, employees, business leaders and other stakeholders con-tributed to a roadmap that will strengthen Auburn’s academic, research and outreach mission, improve operational efficiency and develop human capital. Gogue arrived at Auburn with ample experience in the top ranks of academia. He was selected president of New Mexico State University in 2000 and, in 2003, named president of the University of Houston and chancellor of the University of Houston System. Gogue worked for the National Park Service from 1973 to 1986, ris-ing to the position of chief administrative scientist for several regions of the U.S. Park system. He began his distinguished career in higher educa-tion administration in 1986 as associate director of the Office of Universi-ty Research at Clemson University, where he also served as vice president for research and vice president/vice provost for agriculture and natural resources. Utah State University selected Gogue as provost in 1995. Gogue met his wife, Susie, in the 8th grade, and they married dur-ing their undergraduate years at Auburn. Susie also earned two Auburn degrees. They are the proud parents of three children and have one grand-child. He is a member of Phi Kappa Phi and Golden Key honor societies, Sigma Chi Fraternity, Sigma Xi scientific research society and the National Society of Scabbard and Blade, the honorary military society for all branch-es of service. Gogue previously served as an accreditation reviewer for the Pacific Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges.

Auburn Director of Athletics Jay Jacobs has a vision of leading Auburn Athletics to becoming the nation’s preeminent Athletics Department. In his tenure at the helm of the Tigers’ program, the department has prospered athletically, academically and financially. Under Jacobs’ leadership, Auburn Athletics has made major strides ben-

efitting Auburn student-athletes, coaches and fans. The department has focused on five strategic goals under his leadership: Winning, graduating student-athletes, managing the department’s fiscal affairs, complying with SEC and NCAA rules and providing a professional game day experience. The Auburn Athletics Department has consistently ranked in the top 10 percent of the NACDA Directors Cup and has claimed eight national championships under Jacobs, including a school-record four titles in 2005-06, along with 14 Southeastern Conference titles. Academically, Auburn has earned five public recognitions by the NCAA for scoring in the 90th-100th percentile nationally in the Academic Progress Rate (APR). Jacobs served as the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Tiger Unlimited prior to his appointment as Director of Athletics and has initi-ated serveral successful business ventures for the Athletics Department, including a five-year contract with Under Armour Performance Apparel and nine-year extension with multi-media rights holder ISP Sports. During Jacobs’ tenure, Auburn has also moved forward with numer-ous facility projects designed to benefit Tiger athletic programs and their fans, most notably, the construction of the $92.5 million state-of-the-art basketball arena and practice facility that will open prior to the 2010-11 season. Jacobs was named Auburn’s 14th Director of Athletics on Dec. 22, 2004, after working in almost every area of the Auburn Athletics Depart-ment for the previous 20 years. Jacobs earned his undergraduate and master’s degrees in business ad-ministration from Auburn in 1985 and 1988, respectively, and was a mem-ber of the Auburn football team, earning two letters as an offensive tackle in 1982 and 1983. He is married to the former Angie Sapp of Dublin, Ga. The couple has three daughters, Haley, Meagan and Jayne.

Draped with banners honoring the eight-time Men’s NCAA Champions, four-time Women’s NCAA Champions and 21 SEC titles, the James E. Martin Aquatics Center has been home to the Auburn swimming and diving team since it opened in 1993. Chosen to host some of the top competitions in the sport of swimming, the Aquatics Center is designed as one of the premier natatoriums in the nation, and provides Auburn and its athletes with the perfect facility for training and competition.

During the 2002-03 season, the center was showcased on multiple occasions, as the Southeastern Conference Championships was held

here for the third time since dedication and the 2003 Women’s NCAA Championship was hosted by Auburn from March 20-22. The facility had also previously hosted the 1998 NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Na-tional Championships. The Oct. 7, 2002, issue of Sports Illustrated rated the pool third fastest pool in the country. During the course of the two championship events in 2003, a total of 12 SEC records were established while seven new NCAA records were set during the women’s champi-onships.

The facility last hosted a major event in 2009 as the SEC Swimming and Diving Championships were held at Auburn. The center is set to host the 2012 NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championips. in March of that year.

Formally dedicated on April 30, 1994, the $10.5 million center is named for former Auburn president Dr. James E. Martin, a key player in the project’s undertaking.

The 63,000 square-foot facility opened in October, 1993, and hosted nine collegiate competitions during its fi rst year of operation including the 1994 Southeastern Conference Championships.

Since its opening, the facility has become a home to a multitude of national and international Olympic teams. Auburn swim teams have competed against members of the U.S. National Team in competitions, the U.S. Water Polo Team has used the facility for training sessions and competitions and various other national teams called the Martin Aquatics Center home in preparation for the 1996 Summer Olympics in

Atlanta including China, Japan, Finland, Israel and South Africa.

The center played host to the U.S. Open in 1995, 2000 and again in 2005. The three-day meet featured approximately 800 of the top Ameri-can and international swimmers.

The swimming center complex, located between Beard-Eaves Coliseum and the Student Activities Center, houses an Olympic-size pool with two moveable bulkheads which allow for variable distance competition and simultaneous diving.

The center is equipped with seating for approximately 1000 spectators with an additional 800 seats for competitors on the pool deck. The facil-ity adjoins Auburn’s former swimming facility, which has undergone an extensive renovation and now serves as a warm-up and practice pool. The facility was designed with speed in mind and results from the 1998 NCAA Men’s Championships, 1994 SEC Championships and 1995 U.S.

Open prove that the pool is one of the nation’s fast-est.

The design of the pool incorporates a state of the art gutter system which absorbs waves rather than reverberating them back into to the competition pool. Ultimately, the design creates a calmer pool and reduces the amount of turbulence swimmers must face. In addi-tion, the bulkheads feature a fl ow-through design which minimizes waves rebounding on turns.

The pool is nine feet deep at its most shallow point and 16.5 feet deep beneath the diving apparatus. The diving facility features two one-meter springboards, two three-meter springboards and fi ve platform levels (1-, 3-, 5-, 7.5- and 10-meters). The fl oor of the diving well is navy blue and provides a darker contrast which makes it easier for divers to spot the water during the course of a dive.

Recent additions to the facility include a new Daktronics high-defi nition video board on the west wall, along with new record boards displaying Auburn, NCAA and World records. A new closed-circuit television/video camera setup has also beed added on the pool deck.

Auburn Outdoor Training FacilityAuburn Outdoor Training Facility

For years, Auburn University has had one of the top competition and training facilities in the country in the James E. Martin Aquatic Center. In the fall of 2007, Auburn furthered the commitment to its athletes as the Tigers opened their new outdoor pool, adjacent to AU’s Student Activities Center.

Sitting at the former site of Auburn’s Luther Young Tennis Courts, the outdoor pool is 50-meters long and 25-meters wide. It can be set up with 10 lanes for long course (50-meter) swimming or 22 lanes for short course (25-meters).

The pool holds 600,000 gallons of water and is heated so that it can be used throughout the year.

Along with the bonus of training outdoors, the outdoor pool offers an advantage in training for international competitions as many of those are held outdoors.

Brett Hawke looks to bring the 2010-11 Auburn Swimming and Div-ing team to a new level as he enters his second year at the helm of the program. During his fi rst full season as head coach, Hawke led the men’s program to its 16th SEC title and its record 14th-straight conference championship in 2010. During the 2010 conference meet, Auburn swim-mers recorded seven individual titles and fi ve relay titles. Under Hawke’s direction as co-head coach in 2009, the Auburn men came away with their eighth national title, capturing the 2009 Men’s Swimming and Diving NCAA Championship. During the three-day event, Auburn recorded 54 All-America honors and had one individual and four relay champions. The Tigers also set three US Open, three NCAA and 17 school records en route to the title. Hawke returned to The Plains in the summer of 2006 as an assistant coach for the program. Hawke, a native of Sydney, Australia, was a 17-time All-American swimmer for Auburn from 1997 to 1999. As a member of the coaching staff, Hawke works directly with the Auburn sprinters. Under his direction, Cesar Cielo provided one of the top highlights from the 2008 NCAA Championships as he became the fastest swimmer in the world with his 18.47 in the 50 free. What made the mark even more impressive was not that he did it once, but he reached the mark three times. He won the 50 free with a time of 18.52 after qualifying with an 18.79 in the preliminary. His time of 18.47 came as the 200 free relay leadoff. In all, Auburn sprinters won six All-America honors with Cielo sweeping the 50 and 100 freestyle titles in 2008. He also became the fi rst swimmer to break the 41-second barrier in the 100 free with a 40.92. For his efforts, Cielo was named the NCAA Swimmer of the Year for the second year in a row. During the 2009 World Championships, Hawke served as an as-sistant coach with the Brazilian national team and coached Cielo to two gold medals in the 50 and 100 freestyles. Cielo became the fastest swimmer in the world in the 100 free when he touched the wall in

46.91. Other Tiger sprinters medaling at the championships were Fred Bousquet (silver – 50 free, bronze – 100 free, 4x100 free relay) and Matt Targett (silver – 50 fl y, bronze – 4x100 medley relay). Hawke also had the opportunity to coach Cielo at the 2008 Olym-pic Games. Serving once again as an assistant coach with the Brazilian national team, Hawke mentored the South American star as he won a bronze in the 100m free and a gold in the 50m free with an Olympic record time of 21.30. Other Auburn sprinters trained by Hawke at the 2008 Olympics included Matt Targett, Fred Bousquet, Jakob Andkjaer and Alexei Puninski. Targett and Bousquet both brought home medals after their performance on relay teams.

JEFFJEFF SHAFFERSHAFFERHEAD DIVING COACH / 12TH YEAR / WISCONSIN (‘80)

Jeff Shaffer has been developing and guiding divers across the country to great accomplishments throughout their careers in the last 30 years. He came to Auburn almost 12 years ago as one of the most respected coaches in the diving community and has improved the Auburn diving program in Olympic-size proportions. During his tenure at Auburn, Shaffer has made the diving program into a complete complement to the Auburn swimming program. Through his strong coaching ability and sound philosophy, Shaffer has guided his student-athletes to success. “Our philosophy here at Auburn is developing divers from the ground up,” Shaffer said. “It is a growing process and through the experiences gained here, our divers have the opportunity to become great.” Shaffer’s coaching career kicked off in 1980 after he gradu-ated from the University of Wisconsin with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. He moved to Mission Viejo, Calif., and assisted diving legend Ron O’Brien from 1980-85. Shaffer followed O’Brien to Boca Raton, Fla., and continued to coach with him until 1988. While with O’Brien and during his career coaching at the club level, Shaffer coached divers of all ages and ability levels and dem-onstrated the gift to develop divers to world renowned status. His talent was recognized by the United States Olympic Committee in 1996 when they honored him as the inaugural recipient of the USOC National Developmental Coach of the Year for all Olympic sports. Throughout his club coaching career, Shaffer has guided divers to many distinguished accomplishments. Such honors include 10 World Junior champions, 39 National Junior champions, eight Senior National champions, three Junior National Team titles and three Senior National Team titles. Shaffer carried his philosophy and achievements to the col-

legiate level, fi rst to LSU, then to Southern California and now at Auburn. His divers have played crucial roles in contributing to the success Auburn has had on the national level, making an impact on 12 of Auburn’s NCAA team titles. The contributions started through Shaffer’s fi rst recruiting class that included Caesar Garcia and Ashley Rubenstein and have continued throughout the last 12 years. Evidence of Shaffer’s philosophy of developing athletes can be seen through all of his pupils, including Garcia and Rubenstein. With Shaffer’s guidance, Garcia grew from an All-American as a freshman to a two-time NCAA platform champion, the 2004 SEC and NCAA Male Diver of the Year and a XXVIII Olympian. Rubenstein played a signifi cant role in the three NCAA cham-pionship teams she was a part of. She was a member of Auburn’s fi rst-ever women’s NCAA title in 2002 and as a senior in 2004, her fourth-place fi nish on the 1-meter contributed to the team’s large margin of victory and its third-straight national title. Ruben-stein has gone on to be a 2004 USA Olympic Team Trials fi nalist, a National Team member and most recently, the 2006 U.S. National title one the 1-meter. Among the many successful divers Shaffer has instructed, some include NCAA champions Matt Bricker and Steve Segerlin and All-America honorees Corey Gerlach and Lynnsey Segraves. In 2009, Auburn’s Kelly Marx and Dan Mazzaferro played key roles on the team’s eighth NCAA title run during the 2008-09 season. Marx was runner-up on the 3-meter and reached the fi nals on the one-meter, while Mazzaferro earned honorable mention All-America honors on the three-meter at the national meet. Both divers earned honorable mention All-America accolades on the 10-meter platform. At the conclusion of the 2009-10 season, Shaffer’s diving

corp came away with three SEC titles and seven All-America honors. Marx concluded his senior season with three All-America honors, two SEC titles (1-meter, platform) and was named SEC Male Diver of the Year. Vennie Dantin captured the conference 3-meter championship, while she and Anna Aguero competed in their fi rst NCAA meet and came away with two All-America honors each. Thad Ellis was also honored by the SEC, being named SEC Male Freshman Diver of the Year. All in all, the philosophy that Shaffer has embedded in his coaching has proven to be successful from his days with O’Brien to now as he continues to provide his student-athletes opportunities to grow into essential contrib-utors to the continued accomplishments the Auburn swimming and diving teams experience, as well as success on the international level. Shaffer and his wife, Jenny, have two daughters, Amy (22) and Kelly (21). The couple also has a son, J.J. (Jeffrey Jr.) (16). Amy is majoring in business, while Kelly is a senior on the Samford University soccer team.

MCCAMBRIDGE

Carrie McCambridge enters her fourth season on The Plains. The Columbus, Ohio, native was recently named assistant coach to the Auburn swimming and diving program after two seasons as a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach. Working closely with PK in his weight room, McCambridge’s primary area of focus was with the Auburn diving, cross country and gymnas-tics teams from 2007-2009.

Working with swimming and diving is nothing new to McCam-bridge, who was an accomplished diver herself while in college.

McCambridge lettered all four years on the diving team at Purdue and was a four-time All-America honoree. For her work on the boards, she was also honored twice as the Big Ten Diver of the Year.

KARKOSKA

The Auburn swimming and diving program - like all other sports at AU - are expected to be able to compete at the highest levels pos-sible. With that in mind the Auburn swimming and diving staff, just like all other Olympic sports, entrusts Olympic sports strength and conditioning coach Bryan “PK” Karkoska with their athletes.

At Auburn, athletes are made faster, stronger and more athletic through the intensity and genius of the strength and conditioning program. Karkoska and his staff transfers his intensity and enthusi-asm into his weight room through legendary workouts.

Known throughout the Auburn swimming and diving program for its legendary workouts is PK’s ATUBS training, which combines weight lifting and cardio-vascular exercises. ATUBS, formerly known as circuit training, stands for “Auburn Team Unifying and Building Ses-sions.”

The sessions last for about an hour during the preseason and are used to establish and build team cohesiveness and the Auburn swim-ming work ethic and discipline. The circuit-training coincides with the training in the pool with an increased intensity on the dryland side, as well as, challenges the student-athlete both physically and mentally.

“The circuit was by far the hardest part of the sesaon, but PK made sure that it was never an individual effort, the team got through circuit torgether. It’s what bonded us in the end, and in essence made us tougher,” said Aaron Ciarla, former men’s team captain, member of the 1997 and 1999 national championship teams and current Auburn assistant coach.

Karkoska’s credible reputation follows him. Numerous universi-ties call on a regular basis to fi nd out what exactly he does with his program and in the weight room. He has also worked closely with the physiology department on several issues and has had numerous articles and essays published about human physiology and general health.

A 1994 graduate of Auburn with a bachelor of science degree in exercise science, Karkoska, a Chicago, Ill., native, also earned his Masters of Education with an emphasis in exercise physiology on the Plains in 1996.

Lana Meeks enters her second year as a full-time staff member with Auburn University Sports Medicine after serving as graduate assistant athletic trainer the past two years. Her primary responsibility will be to care for the nationally-ranked swimming & diving programs.

Meeks is originally from Eustis, Fla., and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in athletic training in 2007 from Palm Beach Atlantic University. She spent the next two years earning her master’s degree in exercise science with an emphasis in biomechanics in May 2009. During that time she worked as a Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer with the swimming & diving programs.

Meeks is a nationally certifi ed and state licensed athletic trainer, and is an ac-tive member of the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, the Southeastern Athletic Trainers’ Association, and the Alabama Athletic Trainers’ Association.

She currently resides in Auburn.

The 2010-11 Auburn swimming and diving team have embraced a new outlook for the season as both the men and women’s squads hope put themselves on top in the NCAA once again. The team is set to focus the year on the new team motto: Fam-ily. Tradition of Excellence. Character.

Four juniors and four seniors are set to build the team up and fi nish the season strong in March. Junior divers Vennie Dantin and Anna Aguero are each coming off stellar sophomore seasons on the boards. Joining them are senior swimmers Caitlin Geary, Micah Martindale, Erica Meissner and Melanie Roberts, along with junior swimmers Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace and Micah Lawrence.

“We’re really looking forward to the season for the women’s team,” head coach Brett Hawke said. “Our four seniors will be strong, vocal leaders for us and that is what this team needs. It is going to be a good year.”

Geary, Martindale, Meissner and Roberts all enter their fi nal season at Auburn as All-Americans. Geary will be looked to lead the sprint freestyle group and the individual medleys, while Martindale will head the distance freestyle. Meissner is Auburn’s top returner in the backstroke events and Roberts is capable of excelling in a variety of strokes.

Vanderpool-Wallace, Lawrence and Dantin led last year’s team at the 2010 SEC Championships as each earned their fi rst-ever individual conference titles. Vanderpool-Wallace picked up a pair of victories, taking fi rst in the 100 free and 100 fl y. Lawrence fi nished fi rst in the 100 breast, while Dantin took fi rst on the three-meter springboard. The trio is poised to once again come out on top at the conference meet and is on their way to being top fi nishers at the NCAA championships.

Three Tigers gained valuable experience internationally this past summer and hope to bring that success to the pool this year. Vandepool-Wallace earned four medals as a member of the Bahamian national team at the 2010 Central American and Caribbean games, while Lawrence represented the United

States at the 2010 Pan Pacifi c Championships. Sophomore Hannah Riordan also competed at the Pan Pacs as a part of the Canadian national team.

FREESTYLEThe Auburn women sprinters will be charged by Vanderpool-Wallace and Geary. Vanderpool-Wallace is coming off a solid sophomore year where she earned the title in the 100 free at the SEC championships, while also fi nishing fi fth in the 50 free.

Geary has a great deal of experience nationally and interna-tionally to bring to the team as well, including swimming as a member of the U.S. 400 free relay team at the 2009 World Championships. Also returning is Riordan, who gained valuable experience as a member of the Canadian national team at the 2010 Pan Pacifi c Championships.

New faces for the women this season that are expected to con-tribute right away is freshman Haley Krakoski and junior transfer Yennifer Marquez Mendoza.

Leading the way for the women are on the distance side are Martindale and Geary as Hawke will be looking to them spear-head the group. Geary, the 2009 SEC Champion in the 200 free, is expected to be a major component in the middle distance events and Martindale will be looked upon to be Auburn’s top competitor in the 500 and 1650 free.

Joining the pair are sophomores Katie Gardocki and Sterling Wine. Gardocki earned her fi rst-ever All-America honor this past season as a member of the 800 free relay team and had the team’s top times in the 500, 1000 and 1650 free events. Wine was a solid competitor and dual-meet point scorer in all three events for the Tigers.

BREASTSTROKEReturning this year Lawrence, who is coming off a strong sum-mer season. Lawrence represented the U.S. at the 2010 Mutual of Omaha Pan Pacifi c Championships in August and set two Auburn records at the meet. She had a ninth-place fi nish in the

200m breast and a 10th-place fi nish in the 100m breast.

Joining Lawrence on the women’s side of competition is Roberts and a pair of sophomores in Lauren Norberg and Laura Johnson. Roberts enters her fi nal season with the fi fth-fastest time in Auburn history in the 100 breast and the seventh-fastest time in the 200 breast. Norberg and Johnson both gained valuable experience at the 2010 SEC Championships.

BACKSTROKEMeissner will play a major role for the women as she is one of Auburn’s top backstrokers of all time. She holds the sixth-best time in the 200 back and the 10th-best time in the 100 back. Meissner is also an All-American in the 200 distance. Also set to play a big part for the women are Riordan and Morgan Smith. Riordan competed in the 100 back at the SEC Championships for the Tigers and also represented Team Canada this summer at the 2010 Pan Pacifi c Championships. At the in-ternational meet, she swam in the 100m back and fi nished 25th overall. Smith had the team’s fourth-fastest time in the 200 back last season and looks to improve with her gained experience.

A pair of freshmen will be joining the three women in Emily Bos and Erin Reisinger. Bos, a 24-time high school All-American, is a three-time Michigan state high school champion in the 100 back and was also a member of the 2009 USA Swimming National Youth Team. Reisinger is a Georgia state record holder in the 100 back and a USA Swimming Junior Team member.

BUTTERFLY Vanderpool-Wallace enters the year as the defending SEC champion in the 100 fl y after taking fi rst in the event in 52.55. Also joining her in the 100 fl y is Meissner and Roberts, both of whom have made substantial improvements over the summer. Kelsey Winters is Auburn’s butterfl y specialist, contributing in both the 100 and 200 distances.

A trio of sophomores in Becca Jones, Lauren Norberg and Lindsey Norberg will play key roles on the women’s side in the butterfl y events. All three will primarily swim in the 100-yard

distance. Up to fi ve freshmen are expected to also contribute in Bos, Reisinger, Olivia Scott, Krakoski and Siena DeVenuto.

INDIVIDUAL MEDLEYHeading up the women’s team in the individual medley are a trio of seniors in Geary, Meissner and Roberts. Geary was a consola-tion fi nalist in the 200 IM at the 2010 SEC meet and was also a consolation fi nalist in the event at the 2009 NCAA meet, where she fi nished 11th overall. Meissner and Roberts will also play big roles in the 200 distance for the Tigers.

Also contributing to the 200 IM are juniors Lawrence and Win-ters. Lawrence, primarily a breaststroker, had a break-through summer this year and has improved greatly in the event. Winters, an expert in the butterfl y stroke, will also have the 200 IM as her third event come championship sea-son.

As of now, Gardocki will be Auburn’s lone 400 IMer come championship sea-son. Gardocki concluded the SEC championships with a 13th-place fi nish in the event and swam a season-best time at the NCAA meet in the event, fi nishing in 4:13.68.

DIVINGThe women’s team is comprised of a pair of very experienced juniors in Dantin and Aguero. Dantin is the defending SEC Champion on the three-meter springboard and earned two All-America honors last season on the three-meter and the plat-form. This past summer, Dantin reached the championship fi nal on the platform at the 2010 AT&T National Diving Champion-ships and took sixth in the event.

Aguero fi nished second on the one-meter springboard at the conference meet and recorded two All-America Honorable Mention honors at the national meet.

“Vennie (Dantin) and Anna (Aguero) are both capable of being SEC champions and NCAA fi nalists this year,” head diving coach Jeff Shaffer said. “They have both been working very hard and are poised to have strong junior seasons.”

The 2010-11 Auburn swimming and diving team have embraced a new outlook for the season as both the men and women’s squads hope put themselves on top in the NCAA once again. The team is set to focus the year on the new team motto: Fam-ily. Tradition of Excellence. Character.

The Auburn men are looking to continue its dominance in the Southeastern Conference and hopes to win its 15th-consecutive and 17th overall SEC title come February. The team will look to their seven seniors for leadership this season as the group combines for 35 All-America honors, fi ve NCAA event titles and 15 SEC event titles. Heading the group is redshirt senior and diver Dan Mazzaferro, who is coming off a knee injury that sidelined him last season.

Fellow seniors Adam Brown, Adam Klein, Robert Looney, Andrew Mitchell, Kohlton Norys and Jared White all have the capability to be vocal leaders and hard workers on the team.

“Kohlton (Norys) is one of our strongest leaders in the pool every day and Adam (Klein) is a SEC champion and will that guy the team looks up to,” head coach Brett Hawke said. “This group has experienced success before and wants to experience it again. They know how to push the team to be better and I believe they will do that.”

Returning this year, along with the seven seniors, are four juniors and eight sophomores. The team welcomed 12 new faces this season in 11 talented freshmen and a junior transfer.

FREESTYLELeading the charge for the men in the spring free events are Brown and White, along with junior Karl Krug. Brown was runner-up in the 50 free at the 2010 SEC Champion-ships to former teammate Gideon Louw, while Krug fi n-ished fourth and White was eighth. Brown also took third in the 50 free at the 2010 NCAA Championships.

Brown reached the 100 free championship fi nals at the conference meet and took third. Krug and White both qualifi ed for the consolation fi nal, taking 11th and 14th, re-spectively. During the NCAA meet, Brown fi nished fourth in the event for the Tigers.

Joining the group are freshmen James Disney-May, Zane Grothe and TJ Leon, along with junior transfer Drew Mo-drov.

On the distance free side of the pool, Norys and sopho-

mores Kyle Owens and Brandon Siemasko will be key in the 200 free for Auburn. In the other distances, Looney and sophomore Chris Kramer, along with Siemasko, will be top contenders for the Tigers.

Joining the team and expected to excel is freshman Dakota Hodgson. He is a high school All-American in the 500 free and has the ability to do well in the other distances.

BREASTSTROKEKlein returns as the 2010 SEC champion in the 100 breast and also had a solid showing at the 2010 USA Swimming ConocoPhillips National Championships, fi nishing fourth in the 200m breast. He also took 11th in the 100m breast at the meet.

Sophomore Stuart Ferguson joins Klein on the men’s side of competition. He earned his fi rst-ever All-America honor as he fi nished 14th in the 100 breast at the 2010 NCAA Championships. At the SEC meet, Ferguson took fourth in the 100 breast and seventh in the 200 breast.

Adding depth to the men’s breaststroke are freshmen Peter Haas and Spencer Kerns. Haas is a high school All-American in the 100 breast and a U.S. Junior Champion-ships qualifi er in the 100 and 200 breast events. Kerns is a high school All-American and made the consolation fi nal of the 100 breast at the 2009 USA Swimming Short Course Junior Championships.

BACKSTROKEWhite and Norys and junior Max Murphy will be looked to lead the loaded men’s backstroke group. White is a return-ing All-America honorable mention in the 100 back, while Norys was the 2009 NCAA champion in the 100 back and Murphy is a 2009 All-America honorable mention in the 200 back. All three recorded NCAA qualifying times in both backstroke events last season.

Joining them is Mitchell, Krug and Owens, Tony Cox and Siemasko. Mitchell reached the championship fi nal at the 2010 SEC Championships in the 200 back and took sev-enth, while Owens fi nished ninth in the event at the con-ference meet. Cox earned All-America honorable mention in the 100 back and Krug fi nished 14th at the SEC meet in the event.

BUTTERFLYLooney is returning for his fi nal season as the men’s pri-mary 200 butterfl ier and is coming off strong summer season. Brown is a natural in the sprint freestyle events, but will be the team’s leading 100 fl yer come championship season. Cox and Kiefer are both looking to have breakout seasons this year and play big roles in the 100 fl y and the relay events.

Freshmen Nimrod Hayet, Hodgson, Leon and Evan Noble are also going to play major roles in Auburn’s success this season. Hayet will swim both the 100 and 200 distances and Leon has the ability to do big things in the 100 fl y. Hodgson is joining the team as a two-time U.S. Junior Short Course champion in the 200 fl y and Noble has the talent to excel in both distances.

INDIVIDUAL MEDLEYLeading the way in the IM events for the men are Klein and Mitchell, along with Owens, Ferguson and Kramer. Klein and Ferguson, Auburn’s primary breaststrokers, have

improved in the 200 distance and will be looked to be scorers at both the SEC and NCAA level, while Kramer, a distance free swimmer, will be a key contributor at the 400 distance.

Mitchell is returning as a SEC championship fi nalist in the 200 IM, fi nishing seventh at last year’s conference meet. Owens enters his second season as a SEC championship fi nalist in the 400 IM as he fi nished eighth overall.

Joining the group are Hayet, Hodgson and Noble. Hodg-son and Noble come to Auburn as USA Swimming Junior National team members, while Hayet has been a top com-petitor at the European Junior championships. Hayet and Noble will be looked to contribute primarily in the 200 distance and Hodgson will play a key role in both the 200 and 400 events.

DIVINGMazzaferro is poised to have a very successful fi nal season at Auburn, coming off a knee injury that sidelined him last year. Mazzaferro is a seven-time All-American and a three-time SEC Champion, earning two titles on the platform and one on the three-meter springboard.

Joining Mazzaferro is junior Adam Godzinski, sophomore Thad Ellis and freshman John Santeiu, IV. Ellis enters his second season as the 2010 SEC Male Freshman Diver of the Year after he reached the fi nals on all three boards at the conference meet. Godzinski has earned NCAA Zones scores and Santeiu is a high school All-American.

“We’re very excited to have Dan (Maz-zaferro) back and are looking forward to his very valuable leadership,” head diving coach Jeff Shaffer said. “Thad (Ellis) has the abil-ity to do big things during his sopho-more season. This is a strong group that is capable of making a huge difference in the team’s success during champion-ship season.”

THE AUBURN PROGRAM H IS TORY

Auburn organized a “tank team” fi ve years before swimming was recognized as a Southeastern Conference sport. The 1932 squad was coached and captained by Howard Morris, a sophomore engineering student from Montgomery. Even before this team was offi cially es-tablished, Auburn competed in “telegraphic” meets. The pool in the basement of Alumni Gym was only 55 feet long and 25 feet wide. Three lanes were marked off, and the athletes swam three laps for 165 feet, or 50 meters. They timed themselves and com-pared the results with other schools via telegraph. How Auburn fared is shrouded in lost memories. By 1936, “Boots” Chambless, a former Auburn athlete and assistant football coach, headed the swim team known as the “Paddlers,” or the “Tank Team.” With 16 student-athletes eligible for intercollegiate competition, the team received new equip-ment, swimming suits and robes and were able to take 10 swimmers on the road to compete against other universities. Chambless was unable to coach during the 1938-39 season and by 1940, the team was captained by Henry Mohns and Sterling Smith, with an organization “built among themselves.” Various coaches helped out with training and scheduling meets. The 1940 team is the fi rst to show up on of-fi cial SEC records, fi nishing fi fth at the SEC Championships. The Tigers fi nished fi fth again the following year. What happened after 1941? Very little, if anything, judging by the lack of records. All collegiate sports took a hiatus during 1943-44 because of World War II and when they resumed, Auburn elected not to have a swim team because of inadequate facilities. Bo Torbert, a former Alabama Supreme Court Justice, was a member of the team that resumed competition in 1947. “We were the fi rst after the war to have a swim team,” Torbert recalled. The SEC Champi-onships resumed in 1948. The 1950s and 1960s were quiet years for the swim program, which consisted mainly of volunteers, the best swimmers from Auburn’s mandatory swim classes. One of the major accomplishments was the construction of a new pool adjacent to Memorial Coliseum. Students had been pressuring the admin-istration for a new pool, but were met with constant resistance until Harry M. Philpott became Auburn’s president in 1965. He was a driving force behind the construction of Auburn’s fi rst competitive swimming fa-

cility. A new era of AU swimming began in 1970 when coach Bill Washington headed the new swim team formed that fall. “We got money to travel, but we had to buy our own suits, T-shirts and warm-ups. We swam in seven meets and lost all of them,” Wash-ington said. The next year the team swam in 11 meets and won two. The third year, with Tennessee added, Auburn won fi ve and lost eight. During this period, the conference devel-oped into a nationally respected arena for top swimmers. At the same time, Washing-ton moved into a full-time teaching position in the physical education department and the university hired Eddie Reese as the new swimming coach. Auburn’s rise to national prominence under Reese is unprecedented in NCAA history. In his fi rst season, 1973, he took Auburn from last in the conference to fourth and was named SEC Coach of the Year. In 1974, Auburn jumped to third place in the SEC with the help of Mike Drews, who won three SEC titles and was named SEC Swimmer of the Year. With a 17th-place fi nish at the NCAA Champion-ships, the Tigers served notice that they were becoming a national power. Auburn’s success enabled the Tigers to recruit better athletes to continue the success. In 1978, the men’s team hit its all-time high with a second-place fi nish at the NCAA Championships in Long Beach, Calif. Two-time SEC Swimmer of the Year Scott Spann captured individual titles in the 200-yard IM and the 100-yard breaststroke at the 1978 Championships. Auburn began a women’s program in 1974. Although no scholarships were offered until 1976, the Lady Tigers swam competitively under Reese. Following the 1978 season, Reese left Auburn for the same position with the University of Texas, which had just moved into a brand-new fa-

cility. He has remained at Texas since leaving Auburn and has served as the head coach for the U.S. National Team at the Olympic Games on three different occasions. Richard Quick, a former Southern Meth-odist All-American, who had developed a national reputation as a talented young coach, was chosen to replace Reese. Quick led Auburn to a sixth-place fi nish at the NCAA Championships in 1979 and a fi fth-place fi nish in 1980, a position the Tigers would maintain for the next two years. From 1978 to 1980, Auburn swim-mers David McCagg, Bill Forrester, Rick Morley and Rowdy Gaines dominated the 400- and 800-yard freestyle relays winning three NCAA titles. Women’s swimming became an offi cial SEC sport in 1982 and Auburn’s team, lead by Annie Lett and Carolyn Goodley, fi nished fourth at the AIAW Championships in the fi rst of three consecutive top 10 perfor-mances. But the era belonged to Ambrose “Row-dy” Gaines, one of the greatest athletes in school history. Gaines was known around the globe as the world’s fastest swimmer. As a sophomore he led the Tigers to a sixth-place fi nish at the NCAA Champion-ships. By 1980, when he helped Auburn fi nish fi fth at the NCAA meet, Gaines was practically invincible and was chosen for the United States Olympic Team. After the United States boycotted the 1980 Moscow Games, Gaines would later win three gold medals at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic

In the 1982 season, the Auburn men fi n-ished fi fth and the women were fourth, but after the season Quick became the second-consecutive AU coach to leave the Plains for the University of Texas. Quick spent six years at Texas, followed by 17 years at Stanford (winning 12 NCAA titles along the way) before returning to Auburn as its head coach prior to the 2007-08 season. Quick was succeeded by John Asmuth, who came to Auburn in 1973 as a swimmer under Eddie Reese. He became an assistant coach in 1976 and was retained by Quick in 1978. Asmuth is best known for help-ing coach Rowdy Gaines and coaching Per Johannson, an Auburn swimmer who won a bronze medal for Sweden in the 1980 Moscow Olympics and two bronze medals in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Auburn diving reached new heights in 1987 when Jose Rocha captured the NCAA crown on the 1-meter springboard. During his career at Auburn, Rocha won fi ve SEC titles and was twice named SEC Diver of the Year. In the eight years Asmuth was at the helm of the Auburn program, his teams fi nished in the top 10 three times and in the top 20 another three years. One of Asmuth’s greatest contributions to Auburn can be seen in the James E. Martin Aquatics Center. Asmuth was a key player in the plans to build a world-class natatorium and served as director of the James E. Martin Aquatics Center from 1990-2008. Auburn vaulted into the higher ech-elons of collegiate swimming in the 1990s. Equipped with a world-class facility and a talented, enthusiastic coach named David Marsh, Auburn swimming stood higher than ever before. A product of the Auburn swimming pro-gram, Marsh returned to the Plains as head coach in 1990. Over his last fi ve seasons,

Auburn swimming and diving produced 643 All-Americans honors. Success was the story for Auburn under David Marsh. In Marsh’s inaugural campaign, 1991, the Auburn men placed 20th at the NCAA Championships, only a year earlier they had failed to produce any NCAA qualifi ers. The women made breakthrough strides in 1992, leaping 27 spots to eighth in the nation after 1991’s disappointing 35th-place fi nish. The men continued their climb up the na-tional ladder with a 15th place 1992 NCAA fi nish. For the women, 1993 marked a second-consecutive eighth-place NCAA fi nish. Marina Smith took the NCAA crown on the 1-meter springboard. The men rose to sixth at the NCAA Championships. Both teams placed second in the SEC. In 1994, the Auburn men did what no other Auburn swim team had ever done before, win a SEC team title. Swimming in the brand-new Martin Aquatics Center, AU claimed the team title in front of a capac-ity crowd. The women placed second at conference for the third straight year as Kristie Krueger captured her second SEC 100 butterfl y title. At the national meet, the women made history by winning a relay, the 200 medley relay. Auburn became the fi rst women’s team outside of Stanford, Texas and Florida to win a relay in NCAA Championship history in 1994. Stephanie Bowers, Keri Reynolds, Kristie Krueger and Allison Bock combined to win the 200-yard medley relay. Auburn fi nished fi fth as a team. At the NCAA Men’s Championships, Auburn placed fourth and Marsh was named 1994 National Coach of the Year. Kurt Jachimowski inspired the Auburn men to a third-place 1995 NCAA fi nish, as he won the Tigers’ fi rst NCAA individual swimming crown in 14 years. Jachimowski swam away with the 200 IM title and fi naled in both backstrokes at the national meet. The Auburn women fi nished 13th at the 1995 NCAA Championships. At the SEC Championships, Auburn won its second straight men’s team title, while the women were runners-up for the fourth straight year. Although Tennessee ended Auburn’s two-year hold on the SEC title in February 1996, the Tigers bounced back in March to fi nish as the national runner-up, placing second at the NCAA Championships in Austin, just 43 points behind homestanding Texas. Auburn’s team of Scott Tucker, Oliver Gumbrill, Brock Newman and Nick Shackell

claimed Auburn its fi rst relay national title since 1980 at the meet, posting a Jamail Swim Center record in the 400 freestyle relay with a blistering 2:52.87 in the fi nal event of the three-day meet. In all, Auburn broke school records in six events (100, 200 back, 200 and 400 medley relay, 100 fl y and 100 breast) at the meet. Three Tigers - John Hargis, Scott Tucker and Nick Shackell - were chosen for the 1996 Olympics. Hargis and Tucker for the U.S. team and Shackell for Great Britain. With two swimmers on the U.S. team, and Shackell for Great Britain. With two swim-mers on the U.S. team, Marsh was named as an assistant for the men’s team. Hargis and Tucker returned to the Plains with gold medals for their parts in helping the U.S. place fi rst in the 400 medley and 400 free relays, respectively. A young Auburn women’s team rebound-ed from a fi fth-place SEC fi nish to place 12th at 1995-96 NCAA Championships in Ann Arbor, Mich., giving Auburn swimming fans reason to be optimistic about the both teams’ futures. Auburn’s women’s team continued to progress in 1997 as the Tigers fi nished second at SECs and seventh at NCAAs, it’s highest fi nish since 1994. The women had 10 SEC champions, fi ve NCAA champions and 30 All-American honors. It was 1997, that was the year for the Auburn men, as the Tigers claimed Auburn’s fi rst swimming national title and its fourth SEC championship. The men had 15 SEC champions, 17 NCAA champions and 49 All-American honors. In 1999, the Auburn men brought the NCAA title back home by winning four relays and three individual events. All 17 men earned All-America honors, marking the fi rst time in school history this has hap-pened. En route to claiming the second title, Auburn won its third consecutive SEC title, fi fth in six years, proving to be a dynasty. It was another fi rst for Auburn swimming in 2002 as the women’s team captured its fi rst NCAA title. The Tigers brought 11 ath-letes to Austin, Texas for the meet and all 11 brought home All-America honors with junior Maggie Bowen taking seven of her own. Not to be outdone, the AU men also claimed a championship in 2002, bringing home the hardware from the SEC Champi-onships for the sixth consecutive time. As if Auburn hadn’t already reached the pinnacle of the sport, the 2003 season brought an NCAA fi rst with it. Not only

did the men win the SEC championship for the seventh consecutive time, but also the celebratory jump in the pool had the women’s team joining them for the fi rst time post-SEC meet. The season was far from over there, however, as the women’s team successfully defended its title with 50 All-America honors in front of the home crowd. The men then went down to Austin, Texas, and nearly lapped the fi eld, scor-ing 609.5 points to bring home the men’s team’s third NCAA title. All 19 swimmers that went to the meet scored and the Tigers scored in all 21 events. The notability of the double wins was compounded by the fact that no combined coaching staff had ever won a men’s and women’s title in the same season - until Marsh and Co. did it. At the 2004 Olympics, a total of 12 Auburn swimmers competed, bringing home an Auburn record-tying fi ve medals, including the fi rst three Olympic medals by an Auburn female as Kirsty Coventry took home a gold, silver and bronze. That went along wtih fi ve world records that the men’s team set at the 2004 NCAA Championships and the nine combined NCAA records from the men and women at both national and SEC Championships. On the collegiate front, Marsh did what no one thought was possible for the second

straight season in 2004, sweeping the men’s and women’s NCAA crowns. In 2005, the Auburn men captured its third consecutive national title and ninth straight SEC title. For third straight year, both the AU men and women won the SEC titles. The women’s NCAA Championship in 2006 will go down in school and NCAA history as one of the most exciting meets ever. In a down-to-the-wire championship, the Tigers came out on top by a mere three points over Georgia, in the Bulldogs’ home pool, to take their fourth NCAA crown. A week later and for the third time under Marsh, the men were able to duplicate the women’s title and take their sixth NCAA victory. It also marked another milestone for four Auburn senior men - George Bovell, Kurt Cady, Eric Shanteau and Doug Van Wie - would conclude their careers having never lost a dual, conference or NCAA meet. The Auburn men continued the team’s streak in 2007, winning its fi fth-consecutive NCAA Championship in Minneapolis, Minn., winning by 169 points over Stanford. Auburn tallied seven individual titles and a team-record 65 All-America honors en route to its fi fth-straight championship, the longest run since Indiana won six in a row

from 1968-73. Cesar Cielo highlighted the week, earning NCAA Swimmer of the Year honors. The Tigers also picked up another SEC champi-onship along the way, earning 11 individual titles in Lexington, Ky. The men’s title made it a clean sweep after the women’s team had earned its second consecutive NCAA Championship, fi fth in the team’s history, the week before. The women came from behind on the fi -nal day, erasing a 32-point defi cit to Arizona to win by 58 points. The Tigers won four in-dividual titles while earning 57 All-America honors for the win. The national title came a month to the day after the women also picked up another SEC Championship. The 2007-08 season saw the end to the NCAA runs for the Auburn squads, but the Tigers were able to to extend their SEC titles runs while also making a statement on the international stage. Auburn’s women could not keep up with Arizona at the NCAA Championships, scoring 348 points to the Wildcats’ 484. The men had a similar experience a week later, tallying 316 points and fi nishing fi fth behind NCAA champion Arizona and its 500.5 points. Ava Ohlgren took the NCAA title in the 400 IM to lead the women’s team while Cielo set new U.S. Open and NCAA records in the 50 free and 100 free. Cielo fi nished the meet with four individual titles (also swimming on two winning relay teams), giving him an Auburn record of 10 NCAA titles. For his efforts at the meet, Cielo was named the NCAA Swimmer of the Year for the second year in a row. In all, the men’s team earned 41 All-America honors from 16 athletes while the women picked up 44 honors from 14 athletes. The Tigers swept the team titles at the SEC Championships for the fi fth time in the team’s history in 2008. The men won their 12th in a row while the women claimed their fi fth in the last six years. Cesar Cielo was named Swimmer of the Year while Quick was named SEC Men’s Coach of the Year. For Quick, the conference title was the 22nd of his career, but his fi rst men’s title. Auburn swimmers also had a big year on the international level, starting with the FINA Short Course World Championships where furrent and former Auburn swim-mers tallied 13 medals, including eight gold medals and fi ve world records. Next up was the Beijing Olympics where Auburn set a school record with 21 cur-rent, former and future Tiger swimmers

competing. AU swimmers went on to pick up a record 13 medals at the Games, led by Coventry’s school record of four, includ-ing a gold and a world record in the 200 back. Cielo, competing in his fi rst Olympics, earned a gold in the 50 free and a bronze in the 100 free. Former Tiger Dave Denniston also returned to the pool following his 2005 sledding accident, competing in the 2008 Paralympic Games. Auburn returned to the pool for the 2008-09 season with hopes of returning back to the top in national competition. The Tiger men picked up their 13th-straight SEC title, recording 11 individual and relay conference titles. The women fi nished in a close second to Florida and was led by Ava Ohlgren who fi nished with fi ve SEC titles. Matt Targett was named Swimmer of the Year, while Ohlgren earned co-Swimmer of the Year. Auburn’s women headed to the NCAA Championships and came away with a sixth-place fi nish. The squad recorded 40 All-America honors. Ohlgren came away with a third-place fi nish in the 200 IM, while classmate Maggie Bird took third in the 500 free and fourth in the 1650 free. The Tiger men entered the NCAA Cham-pionships ready to make a run at its eighth national title and came on top, defeating title-favorite Texas by 39 points. Matt Targett

earned four NCAA titles as a part of four relays and had a team-best seven All-Amer-ica honors. In the 100 back, Kohlton Norys swam to his fi rst national title of his career. Richard Quick and Brett Hawke were named co-NCAA Men’s Coach of the Year. The Auburn swimming and diving team were well-represented internationally, send-ing 17 current and former student-athletes to the 2009 World Championships in Rome, Italy. Cesar Cielo came away from the championships with two gold medals (50m free, 100m free) and one world record (100m free). Kirsty Coventry set a new world mark on her way to a gold medal in the 200m back. As members of the 4x100m medley relay, Mark Gangloff, Tyler McGill and Eric Shanteau took gold for the United States. This past season, the Auburn men continued their dominance in conference compeition and captured their SEC record 14th-straight conference title in Athens, Ga. on the campus of the University of Georgia. The championship win was the 16th overall by the squad. Leading the men were Kelly Marx and Gideon Louw. Marx came away with two diving titles (1-meter, platform) and was named Male Diver of the Year. Louw took the 50 and 100 free titles and was a part of three winning relays. Pascal Wollach won his second-straight 100 back title, while Adam Klein earned his fi rst conference championship and won the 100 breast. The women fi nished in third at the conference meet and were led by a trio of sophomores in Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace, Micah Lawrence and Vennie Dantin. Vanderpool-Wallace took the 100 fl y and 100 free titles, while Lawrence won the 100 breast and Dantin captured her fi rst SEC title on the 3-meter.

Now that the Tigers had silenced any critics of continued Auburn dominance in the confer-ence, it was time to move on to the big dance. Auburn had won fi ve straight national titles from 2003-07 but saw their streak snapped in 2008 with a disappointing fi fth-place showing.

Quickly setting the tone for fans and competi-tors alike, the Tigers hit a new US Open record time in the 200 freestyle relay. Auburn trailed Stanford by two-tenths going into the anchor. Targett left the block and it was all but over. The two-time Olympic medalist stormed passed David Dunford (18.52), clocking an 18.19 and earning Auburn a new NCAA and US Open record time of 1:14.08. Stanford placed second, hitting the wall in 1:14.22.

“People thought we peaked at SECs,” said Hawke after day one of NCAAs. “We knew as a team we hadn’t. We knew, coming into this, it was going to be a dogfi ght the whole way. We feel like we have a team that can contend. We have to prove ourselves to be champions. There are still two days to do that. I feel pretty good about where we’re at right now.”

On the 1-meter springboard, junior Kelly Marx set the all-time Auburn six-dive record en route to a sixth-place fi nish, earning the Tigers 13 valuable points. The Overland Park, native topped the 3-year-old record, scoring 386.80. Marx surpassed the 382.80 mark set by Steve Segerlin at the 2008 NCAA Championships.

Auburn concluded day one with 141 points, trailing only Texas with 171. Behind Auburn were Stanford (130), Florida (107) and Cal (103).

Norys claimed the fi rst men’s 100 backstroke title in school history, setting the pace for a strong Auburn showing on day two of the 2009 NCAA Championships. Auburn relay set an-other US Open Record on Friday while junior

Kelly Marx and sophomore Adam Klein set new school records to edge the Tigers closer to the Texas Longhorn’s top-spot.

“I knew it was a close race and when I turned at the 50,” said Norys. “I saw someone ahead of me. I just tried to get my hand there fi rst. It was great having two other teammates with me in the race, because we practice and train together. It was nice to win my fi rst individual Gold Medal. It was a proud moment to be up on the awards stand in the top spot. “

McGill led the Tigers with a second-place fi nish in the 100 fl y, setting a new Auburn re-cord of 44.63 in the process. Madson took third with a new career-best time of 44.99. The Tigers took a total of 38 points from the 100 fl y, cutting the Texas lead to 225-219. Stanford trailed close behind with 204.

Auburn earned 48 points in the 100 back, retaking second place from Stanford to trail Texas, 305-297. Stanford was in third with 265. Only 3-meter springboard fi nals and the 800 FR remained on the day’s itinerary.

Marx set another Auburn record off the 3-meter springboard, earning a 454.85 as the Auburn divers looked to chip away at the Texas lead. Marx shattered the previous record of 427.80 set by Steve Segerlin on Feb. 3, 2007.

“I am speechless,” said Marx. “I was excited when I fi nished second in the preliminar-ies, but to do it here tonight and set a school record is incredible. It has been hard this year, but I feel like I am peaking at the right time. I have taken it dive by dive and the consistency has paid off.”

The Tigers entered Saturday’s fi nal session six points behind the Longhorns, however a strong preliminary swim gave Auburn the upper hand entering the fi nals. Trailing Texas by as many as 62 points on day two, Auburn took the lead for good following sopho-more Klein’s school-record setting performance in the 200 breast, where he fi nished fourth. Auburn grabbed a one point advantage after the event and never looked back.

Saturday’s fi nals began with the AU backstrokers, who continued their dominant display, putting the Tigers seven points back of the Longhorns with a 44-point effort. Wollach led the way for Auburn, hitting the wall in 1:39.65 for a fourth-place fi nish worth 15 points.

The Tigers earned 36 points in the 200 fl y and extended their lead to 473-436, behind senior Madson (1:41.70) who fi nished third. McGill (1:42.44) followed in fi fth while sophomore Robert Looney (1:42.76) hit a new personal-best time to place 11th.

Auburn capped the championship, winning the 400 free relay behind the foursome of Andkjaer, Targett, Norys and McGill, who turned in a time of 2:46.67.

“To win a national championship is an incredible feeling that I can’t begin to describe,” said Madson. “To start at Auburn as a champion and fi nish my career as a champion is incredible. That is exactly why I came to Auburn.”

Auburn fi nished the meet with 526 points, 39 ahead of second place Texas. Quick, who is the fi rst coach to win a national title at three schools, is battling an inoperable brain tumor that was diagnosed in December 2008. Quick was not in College Station for the championships, as the Tigers were directed by assistant Brett Hawke who has led the program since Quick’s diagnosis.

“This is just a great way to fi nish the meet,” Hawke said. “It’s a great tribute to Richard Quick and what he means to this program”

Over the course of his 31 year coaching career, Quick won seven national titles at Stanford and fi ve at Texas to accompany his fi rst at Auburn.

It took a total team effort, but the 2006-07 Auburn women’s swimming and diving team mounted a fi nal-day comeback to pick up its second NCAA Championship and fi fth in the past six years. The Tigers overcame a 32-point defi cit to Arizona in the fi nal day, fi nishing with a 58-point victory. All 19 Auburn swimmers and divers that competed earned at least one All-America honor, combining for 55 honors during the three-day meet. The 19 individuals to earn All-American status is a new Auburn record, surpassing the previous mark of 18 set in 2004 and 2006, while the 57 total All-American awards ranks second best in a single champion-ship meet for the Auburn women. “It unbelievable,” said senior co-captain Adrienne Binder. “I never knew that I could be this emotional about it. I am so proud of this team and I couldn’t be happier right now. It’s been the most amazing experience and we’ve been through so much this year. It couldn’t have gone any better. It’s perfect.” Co-head coach Dorsey Tierney-Walker, who earned NCAA Coach of the Year honors along with David Marsh, was also impressed with the way her team fi nished. “The girls surprised even me, and I don’t get surprised very often,” said Tierney-Walker. “What a total team effort each session. The way we came out and just got better and bet-ter every session says something. This team has

been through some challenges this year, and I think it’s made them stronger as individu-als and stronger as a unit. It certainly showed this weekend, and it’s by far the best this team has every swum. I couldn’t be more proud.” The Tigers started off the meet in second place after the fi rst day of competition with 155 points, 13 behind Arizona. Binder earned her 11th career All-American honor but fi rst national championship by dominating the 500 free, smashing her own school record with a mark of 4:36.96. Hayley Peirsol and Maggie Bird piled it on for the Tigers, fi nishing behind Binder in fourth and seventh, respectively. Freshman Ava Ohlgren had a great fi nish to her fi rst NCAA event, fi nishing runner-up in the 200 IM with a time of 1:55.67, foreshadowing things to come for her in the NCAA Championships. In the opening day relays, Auburn fi nished fourth in the 200 free relay and sixth in the 400 medley relay. After picking up one individual title in the fi rst day, Auburn added to it with two more in the second day. The Tigers, who set four school records and had individual victories from Ohlgren in the 400 IM and Rachel Goh in the 100 back, trailed Arizona by 32 points entering the fi nal day of competition. Ohlgren, seeded 13th entering the meet, stunned defending champion Whitney My-ers of Arizona by shattering her personal best with a school-record time of 4:04.08. Ohlgren, whose best mark of the season entering the meet was 4:15.01, broke the previous Auburn record of 4:04.48 set by Kirsty Coventry in 2005. “I didn’t really know what to expect, but I was really happy with the outcome,” said Ohlgren. “I just tried to go out there and swim my race. Our coaches told us to just go out there and get our personal best times and do what we can, and that’s what I did.” Ohlgren was not the only swimmer who excelled in the 400 IM, as Julie Stupp set a personal best with a time of 4:07.32 to fi nish fourth, while Binder placed sixth with a time of 4:10.08. Goh repeated as NCAA champion in the 100 back, breaking another school record set by Coventry in 2005. Goh, whose previous best was 52.34 set while winning the SEC title in February, raced to a time of 51.97, bettering Coventry’s mark of 52.32. “It was really exciting for me,” said Goh. “Of course I wanted to defend my title. But I swim my races not for myself but for the other 19 girls on the team. I rely on them and they rely on me.”

Melissa Marik kept things rolling for Auburn as she surprised the fi eld by making the 100 back fi nal after being seeded 44th. She went on to fi nish eighth with a time of 53.82. Emily Kukors broke her own school record in the 200 free that she had set dur-ing the prelims when she posted the fastest qualifying time of 1:43.96. Although she improved to 1:43.72 in the fi nals, she was edged by Arizona’s Lacey Nymeyer, who won in 1:43.49. Kukors fi nished third overall. In the night’s relays, Auburn just missed another title, fi nishing second in the 800 free relay with another school-record time of 7:01.05, breaking the previous school mark by .06 seconds. The Tigers trailed California by more than three seconds after two legs, but Kukors exploded for a 1:43.39 split, making up more than four seconds on Cal’s swimmer and giving Auburn the lead. Binder was edged during the last 50 yards as Cal won by just .16 seconds. In the 200 medley relay, the team of Goh, Kara Denby, Margo McCawley and Kukors swam a season-best time of 1:38.06 to fi nish third. Lynnsey Segraves led Auburn in the 3-meter diving, reaching a championship fi nal for the fi rst time in her career. The senior posted a personal-best score of 347.90 to fi nish sixth. “That was really exciting and rewarding to watch,” said head diving coach Jeff Shaffer. “A senior in her last NCAA championships stepping up and making her fi rst fi nal, and then competing to the best of her ability. I couldn’t be happier for Lynnsey.” After trailing in second the fi rst two days of the meet, it was all Auburn on the fi nal day. The fi nals session started with a bang for Auburn, as the Tigers took the top two spots and had four of the top 15 in the 1650 free. Peirsol defended her NCAA title in the 1650, breaking her own school record with a time of 15:45.92. Peirsol raced to an early lead and lapped much of the fi eld, cruising to victory by more than seven sec-onds. Her nearest competitor was Binder as she came home in a personal-best time of 15:53.44 to earn the silver. “I wanted to go out with a bang,” said Peirsol. “During the whole race, I was just thinking `Suck it up for a little over 15 minutes.’ We have put in the work this year. We have worked hard and NCAAs is just the fun part. This is where all of the work pays off.” Haser fi nished in ninth place with a time of 16:12.85, and Bird was 15th in 16:18.03 as the Tigers rolled up 48 points in the event to erase the 32-point defi cit to Arizona and take over fi rst place in the team standings after just one fi nal. In the next event, the 200 back, Auburn’s depth helped add to the lead, as the Tigers placed fi ve swimmers in the top 16. Marik led the way for the Tigers as she swam in the championship fi nal, fi nishing eighth in 1:56.69. The Tigers had two of the top fi ve fi nishers in the 100 free, as Denby placed fourth in 48.07 seconds, just .03 shy of her school record from the prelims, and Kukors was fi fth in 48.40 seconds. Auburn then placed three swimmers in the top 10 of the 200 breast, expand-ing the lead to more than 50 points and securing the team title with two fi nals left. Kristen Hastrup led the way with a fi fth-place fi nish in 1:55.90, while Ohlgren added to her stellar meet with a seventh-place fi nish in 1:56.343, earning the fi fth of her six All-American honors for the meet, tying her for second most by a freshman in school history. In the platform diving competition, Lynnsey Segraves just missed a spot in the cham-pionship fi nal with a ninth-place fi nish in the prelims and a score of 272.60. But she bounced back in a big way, setting a school record with a score of 300.05 to win the consolation fi nal. “What a great way for her to end her career, with a consolation win and a new school record breaking 300 points,” said head diving coach Jeff Shaffer. “I’m real proud of her effort today and real proud of the performances by both Lynnsey and Corey (Gerlach) at this years NCAAs. I’m glad we could contribute to the team effort.” The Tigers capped off the meet with a fourth-place fi nish in the 400 free relay, as the team of Denby, Ohlgren, Marik and Kukors fi nished with a time of 3:15.35. It was not as quick as their mark from the prelims, but with victory assured, it hardly seemed to matter. For outgoing head coach David Marsh, the win marked the 11th national champion-ship his career. “Sending out David in his fi nal women’s meet with a victory was very, very important to this group,” said Tierney-Walker. “It was very well-deserved for David and I wouldn’t want to send him out any other way.”

2007 WOMEN’S NCAA CHAMPIONS

Auburn scored 187 points on the fi rst day of the NCAA Championships to take the lead and never looked back as the Tigers led wire-to-wire to win their fi fth consecutive national championship. “This is probably my third, fourth or fi fth most talented team,” said head coach David Marsh, who coached his last meet as Auburn’s head coach. “But we’ve never had a better meet top to bottom. “Our team has made this year very special. I really just enjoy this team. There are so many great individuals, and I could go down story by story and tell you how they have gone from rags to riches, including all three of our captains. This group has a lot of depth that involves were they have come from and what they have gone through.” Auburn kept the momentum going on the second day to lead by more than 100 points heading into the fi nal day of competition. A dominating day-three performance gave the Tigers 566 total points, topping Stanford, the nearest competition, by 169 points. The Tigers’ domination was evident based on the awards presented following the meet. Marsh was named NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming Coach of the Year, Jeff Shaffer was named NCAA Division I Men’s Diving Coach of the Year, Cesar Cielo was the NCAA Divi-sion I Men’s Swimmer of the Year and Steven Segerlin was named NCAA Division I Men’s Diver of the Year. The Tigers did not wait until the fi nal day, though, before getting the excitement started as Cielo broke the 50 free record on the opening day to become the fastest swimmer in the world. Cielo swam 50 yards faster than anyone has ever done before, and more impressively, he did it twice in less than an hour. Cielo posted matching times of 18.69 to win the 50 free and leading off the record-setting 200 free relay as Auburn took a 66-point lead after the

opening day. Cielo broke the NCAA and US Open records held by former Tiger Fred Bousquet, who had a time of 18.74 in the prelims of the 50 free at the 2005 meet, which was also held in Minneapolis. Prior to Thursday, Bosquet was the only man who had ever swum 50 yards in less than 19 seconds, but Cielo did it four times in one day. He had times of 18.84 and 18.89 during the prelims in the 50 free and 200 free relay, respectively. The Tigers started the evening session by repeating as champions in the 200 free relay, and they did it impressively. Cielo teamed with Matt Targett, Scott Goodrich and Bryan Lundquist, who all swam sub-19 second splits, to smash the NCAA and U.S. Open records with a time of 1:14.71. Their time was more than one second faster than the old record of 1:15.78 set by California in 2005, which stood until the Tigers posted a mark of 1:15.56 in the prelims. Less than an hour later, Auburn scored 70 points in the 50 free by placing fi ve swim-mers in the top nine. Cielo and Goodrich also helped Auburn fi nish third in the 400 medley relay to conclude the opening night. Goodrich led off and Cielo anchored, with David Maras and Alexei Puninski swimming the middle legs as Auburn clocked a time of 3:06.09. Auburn also received valuable points from its divers, as Segerlin fi nished third and Kelly Marx sixth on the 1-meter board. The Auburn swimming and diving team inched closer to its fi fth straight NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving on day two as it stretched its lead to 102 points entering the fi nal day of competition. The Tigers used a combination of depth, diving and relay

speed to widen their margin, which stood at 66 points after day one.Auburn’s team of Goodrich, Maras, Puninski and Cielo posted a time of 1:23.37, easily breaking the old NCAA mark of 1:23.88 set by Arizona in 2006. It marked the fi fth time that Auburn has won the 200 medley relay since 1997. Auburn’s lone individual victory of the day came from Segerlin, who won his second career NCAA title and fi rst on the 3-meter board. Segerlin won the event with a score of 401.50. Dan Mazzaferro fi nished 11th overall on the 3-meter board after posting a score of 352.40. “It feels awesome to win an NCAA title on a springboard event,” said Segerlin. “At Auburn, platform has always been our big focus, but Jeff (Shaffer) is an amazing coach in both springboard and platform. Coming to college I never dreamed I’d win a title on spring-board.” The Tigers added to their lead with three fi nalists in the 100 fl y. Targett broke the school record that Alexei Puninski had set during the prelims and fi nished third with a time of 45.87, besting Puninski’s prelim mark of 46.19. Puninski improved to 46.06 to fi nish fi fth, while Jakob Andkjaer placed eighth with a time of 46.76. In the 100 back, James Wike matched his prelim time of 46.87 to fi nish fi fth place in the fi nals. Bryan Lundquist fi nished eighth in 46.97 while Gooodrich fi nished second in the consolation fi nal to place 10th overall, with a time of 47.33, and Cielo placed 16th with a time of 48.23. In the 100 breast, Jon Roberts fi nished in sixth place with a time of 53.01 as Maras won the consolation fi nal to place ninth overall with a time of 52.94. Auburn also had a sixth-place fi nish in the 800 free relay, as the team of Andkjaer, Lundquist, Tyler McGill and Joey Schneider fi nished with a time of 6:24.80. The Tigers left little doubt in the fi nal day of the meet, essentially clinching the team title during prelims by advancing 11 swimmers and three divers into the fi nals while already holding a 102-point lead. Auburn, which set fi ve NCAA records during the meet, fi nished with 566 points. Although Auburn’s sprinters grabbed much of the spotlight, it was a total team effort that earned the Tigers the title. Eighteen different individuals combined for 64 All-American honors during the three-day event. The 64 All-American honors was a new school record, while the 18 individuals to be honored was second best in school history. Cielo highlighted the evening by putting his name atop the NCAA record book for the fourth and fi fth times during the meet. Cielo started his evening by setting a new NCAA record in the 100 free with a winning time of 41.17 seconds, breaking the old mark of 41.49 set by Duje Draganja of California in 2005 while becoming only the sec-ond Auburn swimmer to win the 100 free, joining Rowdy Gaines, who won the event in 1980 and 1981. He also became the fi rst Tiger ever to win the 50 free and 100 free at the same NCAA meet. Targett fi nished sixth in the 100 free in 42.71 seconds, while Andkjaer won the consolation fi nal in 42.67 seconds to place ninth overall. Lundquist placed 13th in 43.01 seconds and Goodrich fi nished 16th in 43.87. Cielo also helped Auburn wrap up the meet by winning the 400 free relay with yet another NCAA record. The group of Andkjaer, Cielo, Targett and Lundquist sped to a time of 2:46.56, smashing the previous mark of 2:47.70 set by California in 2005. Segerlin capped a terrifi c collegiate career by winning his second diving title of the meet and third of his career, defending his title in the platform competition. Segerlin, who fi nished his Auburn career with 11 All-American honors, recorded a score of 414.90 to edge Arizona State’s Michele Benedetti by less than three points. “I was a little shook up after I missed my second and third dives,” said Segerlin. “But Jeff Shaffer worked with me over the summer to increase my degree of diffi culty. I knew if I stayed solid in my more diffi cult dives I could get back in the game, and that’s what happened.” Two freshmen also reached the platform fi nals as Marx fi nished in sixth place with a score of 352.35 to earn his second All-American honor, while Mazzaferro fi nished in eighth place on the platform with a score of 332.05. Scott and Logan Madson were impressive in the 200 fl y, both breaking their personal bests for the second time of the day. Scott fi nished second in 1:43.47, which ranks second in school history, while Madson improved to 1:43.97, fi nishing in fourth place. McGill placed 11th by clocking a time of 1:45.04 in the consolation fi nals. In the 200 back, Wike was not able to match his personal best time of 1:41.93 from the prelims, but still fi nished in sixth place with a time of 1:42.92, bettering his eighth place performance from last year’s NCAA meet. Roberts fi nished 15th in the 200 breast with a time of 1:57.37, while Osborne placed 16th in 1:58.62.

The 2005-06 Tigers were ready for a battle at the NCAA Championships and were dressed accordingly in blue fatigues. As the No. 2 ranked team all season behind host-Georgia, the pressure was fi nally off the Tigers, after being the team to beat for the previous four years. “We know we are the underdogs coming in,” junior Hayley Peirsol said. “There isn’t any pressure on us. It is just fun. It is just swimming for us.” Even with the pressure supposedly off, the Tigers were still in pursuit of their fourth NCAA title in the last fi ve years and winning would mean snapping Georgia’s 50 straight victories in Gabrielsen Natatorium. Auburn had 17 swimmers and two divers competing (the only team in the nation to qualify a full squad), two more than Georgia and three more than No. 3 Arizona. Of the six events contested on day one, fi ve of them were won by Arizona or Georgia competitors. Arizona, who according to the offi cial psyche sheet, was not expected to

fi nish in the top-fi ve saw themselves in the lead after wins in the 200 free relay, 200 IM and 400 medley relay. It was an orange and blue clad 500 free fi nal as three AU competitors graced the fi eld of eight, each posting lifetime best swims in the morning prelims. Peirsol lowered her career best in the fi nal to grab the runner up spot with a time of 4:41.78. Adrienne Binder ended up fourth and Chelsea Haser seventh as the trio earned 44 points in that event alone. The Tigers kept mounting up the points in the 200 IM with Emily Kukors in third, Julie Stupp in seventh and Lauren Duerk in ninth. In the 500 free and 200 IM alone, the Tigers racked up 54 percent of their day one point total. At the end of the fi rst day, AU trailed Arizona by 10 and led Georgia by four points. Day two opened with a disappointing fi fth place fi nish in the 200 medley relay, but sophomore Julie Stupp sparked energy in her Tiger team as she battled to a runner-up fi nish in the 400 IM (4:09.22) and was surrounded by two teammates in the champion-ship fi nal. In the next three events Georgia outscored Auburn by 90 points and controlled the leader board and the top spot on the podium. Bulldog stars Kara Lynn Joyce and Mary DeScenza continued to thrive in their home pool, each picking up an NCAA individual title on day two. The Tigers would save the best for last on day two in the remaining two individual events events, 100 back and 3-meter diving. After nearly two days of competition, the Tigers fi nally crowned their fi rst national champion of the meet as freshman Rachel Goh became the fi rst Auburn female to win the NCAA 100 back title. Following Goh’s triumphant performance, classmate Corey Gerlach garnered the at-tention on 3-meter springboard. With each dive Gerlach improved and ended up third, the highest fi nish for any Tiger freshman on 3-meter. With one day remaining Auburn found themselves trailing the Bulldogs by 53 points. The Tigers would have to pull off their best fi nal day ever to have a shot at the national crown. The battle for the title would begin in morning prelims. On Saturday morning the gamefaces were on and the letters “YAHM” were

proudly displayed on every woman. The letters stood for, “You Always Have More,” and the Tigers would live up to that slogan as they returned every swimmer from the prelims to fi nals and consols (Georgia had just seven). “They were sky high after the morning session,” Marsh said. “They rode that mo-mentum right into the fi nals.” The night started off with a bang from the distance free trio of Peirsol, Binder and Haser. Peirsol became Auburn’s fi rst national champion in the 1650 free and team-mates Binder and Chelsea were third and 13th, respectively. The 40 points from the 1650 free helped move the Tigers within 33 points of UGA. After 39 points from the 200 back compared to Georgia’s 17, Auburn pulled within reach, needing just 11 points to tie with fi ve events remaining. It wouldn’t take long for Auburn to pull even with Georgia after mounting 31 points from three competitors in the 100 free, even though UGA’s Joyce was the overall winner. En route to evening the slate at 436, Kukors broke a three-year old AU record in the 100 free (48.52) to fi nish fourth. Auburn opened up a 469.5-447.5 advantage after the 200 breast, a race in which newcomer Alicia Jensen would put it all on the line and take third, breaking the oldest AU record on the books (2:10.81). Georgia pulled within fi ve after DeScenza won the 200 fl y and another competitor fi fth, even though AU had three swimmers in consol’s. With the gap so close and only the 400 free relay remaining, only one thing was certain- the team race would come down to the fi nal event. If you owned a calculator in those fi nals minutes leading up to the 400 free relay, the keys were probably overworked. After the numbers were tabulated, the scenario played out as follows: for AU to win they would need to fi nish third or better and have Arizona fi nish in front of Georgia. For UGA to defend its championship, only one scenario would lend that end result - win the relay. Georgia led after DeScenza’s fi rst leg but Arizona’s Jenna Gresdal passed Tricia Harm to take a .80 lead on UGA after the second leg (AU in third). The Wildcats increased the lead by 1.12 after a strong third leg by Whitney Meyers. It would come down to the anchor - Lacey NyMeyer versus superstar Joyce. Both swam a blistering fi nal leg and Joyce pulled within reach of NyMeyer with less than 25 yards to go, but NyMeyer would stretch in for the win and the Tigers would end up third, in the relay that is. “When we hit the wall, there was pandemonium,” Marsh said. “The entire building knew what was at stake.” As the Tigers rejoiced in their fourth national title, senior Jeri Moss was reassuring anchor Kukors that indeed the Tigers had pulled off the miracle - they had won the battle. “The passion, heart, fi re and everything that went into that championship was wrapped up on my teammates faces at the end of the meet,” Moss commented. In the second-closet margin of victory in the 25 years of the women’s NCAA Championships, the Tigers stood fi rst on the podium with 518.5 points , just three ahead of Georgia. With tears in their eyes and smiles as wide as their faces would allow, the 2006 Auburn women’s team knew they have pulled off the impossible and were part of a very special moment in Tiger swimming and diving championship his-tory. “I have never experienced anything that thrilling,” Marsh said. “It wasn’t just the last relay, it was the last day. That is the best day we have ever had in Auburn swimming.”

The number 10 was signifi cant for the 2005-06 Auburn men’s swimming and diving team. Ten represents the number of fi ngers that head coach David Marsh proudly dis-plays championship rings. Ten is the golden number of national championships that the 2005-06 Tigers helped bring home to The Plains. The four-man senior class of George Bovell, Kurt Cady, Eric Shanteau and Doug Van Wie have an endless list of accolades, including Olympic medalist, NCAA Champi-on, SEC Champion and All-American. One more honor stood within reach in 2005-06, an honor that no one before them had been able to accomplish - go undefeated in every category. The Tigers, who sported a No. 1 ranking the entire season, entered the 1996 Olym-pic pool in Atlanta, Ga., looking to extend their streak to four. Marsh wanted his team to get out to a strong early start and that is exactly how the story played out. The Auburn 200 free relay team of Cesar Cielo, Matt Targett, Bryan Lundquist and Bovell, came out roaring on the opening night fi nals. The quartet captured the title in 1:16.15 and got the ball rolling in the Tigers direction. Keeping the momen-tum going was the 400 medley relay who fi nished as runner-up. The Tigers held a 42

point lead over Arizona with two critical days remaining. “It has been way too long since we have won a relay,” Marsh said. “It was nice to see us get back on the top of the podium in a relay and it was thrilling for the team. It creates a lot of momentum and excitement for the rest of our team.” Arizona came out blazing on day two and slowly chipped away at the Tigers lead. The Wildcats 200 medley relay started the night off with a NCAA record-breaking performance (1:23.88) and the Tigers had to settle for second. Shanteau duplicated his third-place fi nish in the 400 IM and Alexei Puninski, just 30 minutes after swimming the fl y leg on the 200 medley relay, fi nished seventh in the 100 fl y. The Wildcats caught the Tigers in the fi fth event of day two, the 100 breast, as AU had no one swimming in the event, while Arizona had one in the fi nals and one in consols. This effort helped boost the Wildcats to a one-point defi cit with three events remaining. In the 100 back, Van Wie turned in a stunning 46.22 performance, to take second (just .30 off the title) as he was out-stretched by Northwestern’s Matt Grevers. All eyes would turn to the diving well where Steve Segerlin would fi nish third in the 3-meter fi nal with a score of 401.20 to put Auburn ahead by seven points going into the 800 free relay. After a pool record 6:16.67 by the Wildcats in the 800 free relay and a sixth place fi nish by AU in the event, Arizona sat atop the leader board by fi ve points with one day to go. “Arizona had the magic tonight,” Marsh said. “They were just on fi re. The fi nal

night is going to be a knock-down, drag-out. Their strength is their quality, our strength is our depth.” The Tigers found themselves in somewhat unfamiliar territory. Never in any of the other fi ve championship meets had the Tigers ever trailed at the end of day one or two. The lesson that Marsh and his staff stressed throughout the year - team champi-onships are won in the morning sessions - would be the theme of the fi nal day. “If we come in in the morning and get fi ve, six, hopefully seven into the fi nals,” Marsh said, “we will be in good shape. It is in the teams hands.” Auburn’s showed its strength in numbers, qualifying seven individuals (fi ve more in consols) and a relay for the Saturday night showdown. The Tigers all but assured itself a victory by qualifying more swimmers than Arizona. The 100 free fi nals would be the showcase event of the fi nals as fi ve AU swimmers would decorate the fi nals and consols. With the team lead there for the taking, the Tigers wasted no time in recapturing the top position. In the second event (200 back), Van Wie and James Wike produced 23 points to give Auburn the advantage, an advantage that they would never lose again. In the premier event of the evening, the 100 free, Auburn got three swimmers in the consols to outscore Arizona 13-0. The Tigers then split with the Wildcats in the fi nals as Cielo took fourth and Targett seventh, all but cancelling out a third-place fi nish by Arizona’s Simon Burnett and a fi fth-place fi nish by Wildcat Lyndon Ferns. The Tigers and Wildcats each put one in the 200 breast fi nals but the difference came in the 200 fl y as Auburn had two competitors in consols and one in the fi nals and Arizona had no qualifi ers in either. With two events remaining and 26.5 separating the two teams, Auburn looked poised for its sixth overall team crown. And it didn’t hurt that the 10-meter platform, where Segerlin was in position for the win, was up next. After a record-breaking 469.30 points in the platform fi nals, Segerlin took all sus-pense out of the race for the team title. Segerlin’s victory marked the fourth straight year an Auburn man has been crowned champion on platform. “It feels awesome coming from a really long line of NCAA champions at Auburn,” Segerlin said. “This is the best performance in Auburn history,” Auburn head diving coach Jeff Shaffer said. “We talked about being focused and confi dent and having the courage to step up and most importantly to have fun. We had nothing to lose, our swimmers took care of business, and this was bonus points for the team.” In the fi nal event, Arizona continued to dominate the relays as they claimed the 400 free relay (the Wildcats won four of the fi ve relays, Auburn won the other) and Auburn was second. The points didn’t matter - the 10th fi nger was fi lled. “Today it feels really good, like a relief,” Marsh said. “It is such an intense meet from top to bottom. This men’s team in particular has come from everywhere and it took all year to bring this team together. The last two months I saw synergy happening within our team and you have to have that at this meet to be successful.” Team mission, check. Senior mission, check. Bovell, Cady, Shanteau and Van Wie concluded their storybook four-year careers with a 31-0 dual meet record and four SEC and NCAA team titles. This senior class alone put together 13 SEC titles and six NCAA titles to go along with 56 All-American honors. “There is no other way that this senior class wanted to go out,” co-captain Shan-teau said. Strength in numbers said it all for the 2006 team and Marsh will no longer have to drive home the importance of the morning sessions. For everyone in attendance at the 2006 championships, we all can walk away knowing that team titles are earned in the a.m. - By Carol White, Auburn Media Relations

A united team sporting bleached hair

(and one mullet) became only the third team

since 1980 to win three NCAA titles in a

row and ironically in the same pool where

the bleached out Auburn men won its fi rst

championship in 1997.

The fi rst day of competition would see

the Auburn men take a decisive lead as the

team had been accustomed to doing the

previous two years. The 200 FR would start

things off right in the fi nals by breaking the

Auburn record with a 1:16.00, and going

under the old NCAA record with fi rst place

Cal. After the 200 IM when Eric Shanteau and

Doug Van Wie both put in top four fi nishes

the Tigers looked on their way to dominating

the fi rst day. But they didn’t know whether

Fred Bousquet would be able to repeat his

sub-19 second performance in the 50 free. Not only did he walk away with the NCAA

record, the only two sub-19 swims ever, and as NCAA Champion he registered a

“quantum leap in the sport,” Marsh said. Fred’s 18.74 from the prelims erased the old

record by more than three tenths, a huge margin even in a 200 let alone swimming’s

shortest race.

After Fred’s second landmark swim in the 50 all eyes turned to diving where

Auburn sported the strongest pair in the entire fi eld. Matt Bricker and Steve Segerlin

both fi naled to start off what would be a great weekend for AU diving. Finally the

fi rst day came to a close with Auburn just off the school record in the 400 MR with a

3:07.92. The Tigers had taken a 172 to 130 lead over Arizona, with Stanford close on

the Cardinals heels with 120 points.

Friday was a new day with the rest of the fi eld trying their best to fl ex their muscle

and reel Auburn back in. Eric Shanteau got the individual points going for the Tigers;

he was the top seed going into fi nals for the second night in a row but settled for a

school record and third place in the 400 IM. Next came Bousquet in the 100 fl y fi nals

for the third year in a row, taking the top Auburn spot with fi fth. The 100 breast saw

Auburn not score a point for the fi rst time since 1995 but Van Wie, Chad Barlow, and

Scott Goodrich got the ball rolling again in the 100 back. Doug’s time of 46.17 lowered

the school record he set in the morning as he led a third, sixth, and 14th place points

charge.

This led to 3-meter diving and typically Auburn divers get better as the boards

go up so the rest

of the team looked

on anxiously to see

how Steve and Matt

would do. Both would

deliver and Steve

would go on to set

the third team record

of the day (618.30) in

his third place effort.

“I thought it was

an awesome effort by

Steven,” said AU div-

ing coach Jeff Shaffer.

“Finally we break the

school record on a

three-meter championship list. We had a game plan and he dove with a tremendous

amount of confi dence tonight.”

With only one event to go the scores looked much tighter than Auburn had gotten

used to seeing at the end of the second day. Stanford and Arizona were both close and

everyone knew the last day would truly decide the winner. The 800 FR team helped

increase Auburn’s lead by breaking the fourth school record of the day. Freshman Rory

Connell came through with a vital sub 1:35 third split. After the relay the standings laid

out at Auburn 338, Stanford 300, and Arizona 292.

With one day to go, the team title looked up for grabs as Auburn was shut out in

the mile to start the day but once again Doug Van Wie and Chad Barlow had great

swims to put points on the board. Though Chad had broken the team record at SECs

Doug came out ahead this time with a second place and personal best 1:41.24. Right

after that Auburn defl ated Stanford and Arizona’s hopes by fi nishing the 100 free with

Bousquet and Bovell in fi nals and Wochomurka and Bryan Lundquist in consols. Fred

again swam an amazing sprint freestyle leg, breaking the second oldest school record

on the books with his 42.19. The old record holder - two-time Olympic Gold Medalist

Rowdy Gaines.

With only one man scoring in both the 200 breast and the 200 fl y, Bricker and

Segerlin knew it was up to them to cement the victory for Auburn. Only this time it

was Bricker who would top his teammate and as it turned out the entire fi eld. Matt

made it three years running that Auburn has won the platform diving and Steve made

sure it was the second year in a row that Auburn went 1-, 2 by matching his second

place performance from last year.

“What a great performance from Matt and Steve,” Shaffer said. “I couldn’t be more

proud of Matt stepping up tonight. He has been through a lot in his four years at

Auburn and it was just a fi tting end for him to come out victorious tonight.”

This left only the 400 FR and Auburn looking for its fi rst relay win of the meet.

Fred again lowered the record books with his 41.87 leadoff breaking the youngest

school record on the books…his own from earlier that day. The relay would fall to Cal,

but the Tigers knew they had come through where it mattered the most. AUBURN

491, Stanford 414.

Divers Matt and Steve really showed their value scoring 86 points when the margin

of victory over Stanford was only 77 points. The seniors came out ahead of the fi eld

again as senior captain BJ Jones said, “Every year the goal is to win another national

championship. It feels great to go out as a captain and lead my team and bring it home

to Auburn University. I came here to win a national championship and thank God I

have been able to win three.”

Clad in navy blue warm-up suits and brand-new, bright orange Nike sneakers, the Auburn women’s swim team members made for an intimidat-ing bunch as they stepped onto the pool deck to begin Saturday evening’s round of fi nals during the 2004 NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Cham-pionship in College Station, Texas. The top-ranked Tigers made their entrance at Texas A&M’s Student Rec-reation Center Natatorium sporting an even more confi dent look. “To know you’re walking in as the 2004 national champions is an incred-ible accomplishment,” Auburn head coach David Marsh told his Tigers in a team meeting before the evening competition. “And to win it before the fi nal session begins is an even greater achievement.” Auburn, which led from the opening night of the three-day meet, closed

the door on the competition during Saturday morning’s preliminary swims, marking the third straight year that the AU women walked onto the deck as national champions even before the fi nal session had begun. Auburn’s quest for their third straight national title began much more quietly than the fi rst two did. There was no individual title on night one. Nor was there a relay that was fi rst to the wall. But there was a sense of urgency, and a feeling of togetherness that allowed the Tigers to own the day one lead. “The competition is great here. It is at a world-class level. The ladies are improving toward that level, and that is what we are focusing on right now, making one step forward instead of big jumps forward,” Marsh said after the fi rst night. “They are itching to win events but the goal is to accumulate points to win the championship. We are going to have to fi ght throughout the three days to be our best. It is not going to come easy” Day two was junior Margaret Hoelzer’s day to shine. The girl from Huntsville, Ala., raced in four events on Friday night, collecting a fi rst- and second-place fi nish in her two individual events while also swimming on a record-setting relay and the fi nal relay of the night as the Tigers continued to

increase their lead. Auburn and Hoelzer picked up their fi rst NCAA title of the year in the fi rst event of the night, swimming to a new NCAA and US Open Record in the 200 medley relay. Hoelzer, who was seeded seventh and raced in lane one of the 200 free, took her fi rst individual crown with a NCAA-record time of 1:56.16. Hoel-zer had the fastest split on every leg in the fi eld but the last and was the lone swimmer to have every split under 30 seconds. Hoelzer fi nished her individual night by leading the Tiger charge in the 100 backstroke as the junior stroked to a second- place fi nish. The Tigers’ fi nal relay of night two produced a fourth-place fi nish as the AU quartet of Kirsty Coventry, Heather Kemp, Adrienne Binder and Hoelzer combined for the 800 freestyle relay. “To be honest, I was pretty tired by the time the 800 rolled around,” Hoel-zer said. “It was a huge race and you don’t have a chance to think about your own feelings. You have to do what’s best for the team and suck it up and try to take one for the team.” Coventry capped off the championships by taking the crown in the 200 backstroke. “It was a good race, probably my best race of the whole meet,” Coventry said. “I just wanted to go out there and have fun and that is exactly what I did. It just all came together for me tonight.” The Auburn senior class closed out their collegiate swimming careers in style, racking up a total of 569 points, the most in program history and the highest total at the NCAA Championships since 1993. “We are very thrilled and honored to come out of here with a victory,” AU Coach David Marsh said. “What I think you saw during this meet was re-ally truly how many awesome swimmers there are in the NCAAs. One of the things I tell my team is that when you win a swimming title, you are compet-ing in the highest level athletic venue in collegiate sports. To win a team title is very special and different every time.” “All season we have trained real hard and it has always been our goal to win three in a row,” Demerae Christianson said on behalf of the senior class. “It just feels good to get the job done and to celebrate not with just the senior class, but the whole team. It is just so special. Hopefully we have left something behind for the team next year.”

Best Ever. That is how the 2004 Au-burn men’s swimming and diving team will go down in history. The Tigers, led by a group of four young men who went by the catchphrase of ‘Auburn’s Four Horsemen’, literally went out and re-wrote the NCAA record books. And they did it six times over. Fred Bousquet - or ‘Freddy Biscuits’ as he came to be known around the pool deck - and his compatriots George ‘The Hammer of Justice’ Bovell, Ryan ‘The Diesel’ Wochomurka and Derek ‘The Big Man’ Gibb set the tone for the Tigers from the get go, stroking to a world-best time in the events fi rst race, the 200 free relay. Record one set. Bovell returned to the pool two events later and successfully dropped the hammer on the fi eld in the 200 IM, defending his title from 2003 and doing it in a new world record time. “I felt a lot of pressure which I put on myself,” Bovell said after his nighttime swim. “I probably would have never forgiven myself after coming so close (to a world record this morning) and not accomplishing it.”

Record two set. One event later, it was Bousquet’s turn to defend his title in the 50 free. Considered the most exciting race in all of swimming, Bousquet sliced the water to his fi rst individual world record - and this after needing a swim-off to qualify for fi nals. “I guess I need to be a little mad to swim faster and my teammates knew it so they put me in good condition for the race. Everybody was behind me,” Bousquet said. Record three set.

By

the end of the fi rst night, the Tigers had already amassed a 98-point lead on the fi eld. But there was still work to be done. Sophomore Doug Van Wie and senior Mark Gangloff were the next to put ‘World’s Best’ next to their name as they joined Bousquet and Gibb in re-writing the record books in the 200 medley relay. Record four set. With two days completed, the Tigers had gained a seem-ingly insurmountable 186.5-point lead on the fi eld. But there was still work to be done. They were in search of the title ‘Best Ever.’ Though they didn’t provide themselves with a nickname, the diving trio of Caesar Garcia, Steven Segerlin and Matt Bricker did their part for the team championship as well. After garnering a total of fi ve All-America honors after the fi rst two nights, the trio fi nished 1-2-6 on the platform, with Garcia becoming the fi rst man to ever successfully defend his platform title. All told, the divers contributed 93 points to the team total. With one event remaining, a fi rst-place fi nish in the 400 free relay was all that stood between Auburn and the points record. Enter the ‘Four Horse-men’ for their fi nal ride. And ride they did - all the way to a fi fth world-best time and a new NCAA points record of 634 points.Records fi ve and six set. “Those four guys are always at their best at the relays and that has char-acterized my favorite Auburn swimmers, going back to Rowdy (Gaines), Yoav (Bruck) and Nick Shackell. All four of those guys are just like that,” AU Coach David Marsh said of the ‘Four Horsemen.’ “The ‘Four Horsemen’ are just the best guys,” Gibb said. “When you got guys like Fred and George, it just gets everyone going and we weren’t going to look back the rest of the way.” The Tigers had literally lapped the fi eld. Auburn had won the event by 256.5 points. The ‘Four Horsemen’ alone contributed 340 points, beating all but three teams by themselves. “Last year was great but I wanted this one even more,” senior captain Bryce Hunt said. “All year long us seniors tried to lead by example.” And lead they did.

Home sweet home. The only thing sweet-er then winning the fi rst women’s National Championship in school history is defend-ing that title at home. Even though the Tigers went undefeated during the regular season, won their fi rst SEC Championship just three weeks prior and had the number one ranking all year long, with the level of competition and being seen as the team to beat the women knew they would have to swim well to win again. “It gives you a certain level of confi dence that we swam so well at SEC (Champion-ships), and our times were seeded well. However, like other coaches said there have not been a point scored yet in this meet. We are not taking anything for granted. We know there are great teams here ready to compete. However, the team is ready and we know we can swim faster. We are looking forward to competing with some of the best in the world,” Auburn senior captain Maggie Bowen said prior to the championships. With the resurgent women at the University of Georgia hungry after their three-year reign atop women’s swimming was broken by Auburn in 2002, and super-stars like Natalie Coughlin leading a strong University of California team it looked like Auburn would need all of their 18 athletes to win their second title in as many years.

Day one started very strong for the Tigers as they qualifi ed with four top seeds out of the fi ve events. A morning that featured Auburn swimmers qualifying one-two in the 200 IM also featured pool records by the 200 medley relay team and by Becky Short in the 50 free. In fi nals the ladies jumped out to a 45.5 point lead after day one with some impres-sive swims. Bowen and Kirsty Coventry combined to fi nish 1-2 in the 200 IM. The win was Bowen’s third straight in the event at NCAA’s and gave her the three fastest times

in NCAA history. Short and

Eileen Coparropa kept the momentum going by fi nishing second and third in the 50 free. With the lead, the ladies wanted to send a message in the evening’s fi nal event: the 400 medley relay. They sent quite a strong message indeed as the team of Coventry, Bowen, Margaret Hoelzer, and Short not only won, but set pool, NCAA, and US Open records with a time of 3:31.45. As day two got underway it was evident that Auburn was the class of the meet. Auburn qualifi ed 12 swimmers for the evening session as well as being the top seed in the 200 medley relay. Leading the way were Bowen, who qualifi ed fi rst and second in the 400 IM and the 100 breast respectively, and Coventry, who qualifi ed fi rst in the 100 back. The sellout hometown crowd did not go away disappointed at the end of the second day as Auburn extended their lead to an impressive 127 point lead with one day to go. In the evenings’ fi rst event, Auburn’s relay team of Jenni Anderson, Laura Swander, Hoelzer, and Short won by nearly two seconds with a time of 1:36.69 once again breaking the pool, NCAA, and US Open record. The victories continued to come as Bowen won the 400 IM for the third consecutive year. Junior Heather Kemp provided the most exciting race of the night, winning her fi rst National Championship by ty-ing North Carolina’s Jessi Perruquet with a time of 1:45.01. The evening’s fi nale was another Auburn title as the team of Hoelzer, Kemp, Coventry, and Bowen broke the NCAA meet record in the 800 Freestyle relay. The last prelims session saw the women pick up right where they left off the night before. Nine women earned the right to swim again for the fi nal session. Short con-tinued her strong meet by grabbing the top spot in the 100 free. Joining her were two other Tigers, Coparropa, and Kemp. Hoelzer also swam very well qualifying for fi nals twice, in the 200 back and the 200 fl y. The women also had the fastest 400 freestyle relay team Saturday morning. With victory virtually assured the women cemented their second straight NCAA title with another strong session. Coventry and Hoelzer fi nished second and third in the 200 back to start the last session. Short and Coparropa followed them with another 2-3 Auburn fi nish highlighted by Short’s school record 48.53 second place. The women fi nished the meet as they started it by winning yet another relay by dropping over three seconds from their morning swim in a fast 3:14.15. “This is truly a great night for Auburn University,” Auburn athletics director David Housel said. “I am especially proud of our swimmers, coaches and their staff that in the same week that they won the NCAA title, they also were named as an academic All-American team. The fact that David Marsh is a product of the Auburn swim program makes this much more special. It is a great day to be an Auburn Tiger.” With their hometown fans cheering and the anxious men’s team urging them on all weekend, the women fi nished their season as they had planned all along, with a victory swim and fi ght song in a pool that they dominated all year long.

Pressure. With an immeasurable amount of self-infl icted pressure on their collective shoulders, the Auburn’s men’s swimming and diving class of 2003 not only answered the bell at the national championships, but they came out with nary a scratch on their faces. Having just watched their women’s counterparts win it all for the second consecutive year, the men’s team was determined to head down to Austin, Texas - the exact pool that the women had taken the celebratory dip in a year ago - and bring back the one thing the seniors were lacking, an NCAA title. From the outset the Tigers were on fi re, trailing in the overall points battle for a total of two events. By the time event three rolled around, freshman George Bovell was ready to leave

Auburn’s fi rst mark on the championships. Bovell not only helped move the Tigers to the top of the leader board, but he challenged history, winning the 200 IM in a NCAA and US Open record time of 1:42.66. On event later his classmate did his part as Fred Bousquet - affectionately called Freddy Biscuits by his teammates - swam to his own title, winning the men’s 50 freestyle in a convincing 19.31. The event turned out to be the coming out party for the Tigers as a total of four AU swimmers swam in the championship fi nals. By the time the curtain came down on day one, the Tigers held a com-manding 85-point lead, having corralled 206 points in the fi rst session. Both the 200 IM and the 50 free were titles that the Tigers had last won in 1999, also the last time AU won the overall crown. Day two was more of the same as the Tigers were just three points shy of doubling their lead by the end of the night - not to mention racking up a total of 449 points, just 47.5 points less than what AU had tallied in 1997 when they fi rst won it all, the most points in school history. Night two again started out with fi reworks as the Auburn 200 medley relay team of Bryce Hunt, Pat Calhoun, Bousquet and Derek Gibb erased the

oldest Auburn record on the books. Though they could not claim the NCAA title, the points-train gathered more steam as the night rolled on. As was the case with the 200 IM the night before, the 400 IM was an Auburn event with three Tigers stroking the walls for points. The culmination of the night - and possibly the championships - was in the 100 breaststroke fi nals as Auburn Tigers fi lled four of the eight lanes available. Again the Tigers could not stand atop the podium for the awards ceremony, but the feeling amongst the Tiger bench area was one of signifi cant accom-plishment. With the trophy already fi rmly in their grasp, diver Caesar Garcia brought Auburn its fi rst diving title in 16 years. With twists and turns and fl ips and reverses, Garcia scored a 575.80 on the platform on the fi nal night, tying for the NCAA title. The Auburn Tigers did more than just secure an NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championship on Saturday night, March 29, 2003. They did it with-out leaving a doubt of who was the best team in the country with contribu-tions coming from all 19 athletes on the NCAA roster. Just as impressive was the fact that the Tigers scored in all 21 events, a rarity in the sport. When it was all said and done, the Tigers won the third national team title in program history by crushing the fi eld by a whopping 196.5 points, becom-ing just the second team in NCAA history to break the 600-point barrier as the Tigers tallied 609.5 points. “The fact that all 19 athletes scored in every event shows the diversity of this team,” David Marsh said. “We are not about one star. I am just delighted.” AU tallied 61 All-America honors in the process and made sure that the class of 2003 left without any disappointment. “All I can see is the eyes of this senior class because they are the ones that initiated the effort to pull this team together in a special way,” Marsh said. “They did the follow-through and then came to this meet and gave the performance. They didn’t want to leave Auburn without a championship, and I hope that is the attitude of future swimmers and divers that come into our program.”

By the time day three rolled around,

there was no doubt in the minds of

coaches, athletes and fans, who was

going to win the 2002 NCAA Women’s

Swimming and Diving Championship

in Austin, Texas, except in the minds of

the soon to be champs - the Auburn

Tigers.

Not that the team thought the feat

was impossible or that they weren’t

capable, but the fear of “you just don’t

know what can happen” loomed over

their heads.

Heading into that last day of com-

petition, the Tigers stood at 67 points

ahead of the second place team with a strong day of competition remain-

ing. Although the team knew they held a safe lead, the Tigers couldn’t help

remembering last season, when a false start on the 400 free relay in the

prelims of day three squashed any hope of bringing home Auburn’s fi rst-ever

women’s NCAA title.

Little did Auburn know, that now insignifi cant set-back may have very well

been the fi re fueling the drive to their title in 2002. Eight athletes returned in

2002 from that season. Stronger than ever. Both mentally and physically.

The stage was set. All Auburn had to do was have a solid preliminary

round in the morning and stay in the places they qualifi ed in for the fi nals and

the title would be theirs.

That sounds simple enough, but what most casual fans didn’t realize is that

the Auburn team was fi lled with a team of three freshmen, six sophomores

and two juniors. Not exactly veterans to pressure.

Not only did Auburn have a solid prelim competition, the Tigers again

dominated the pool all but offi cially announcing their claim to history.

The Tigers had an emotional meeting immediately following the morning

swim. The topic? It was the fact that the title was all but clinched. The meet-

ing was one of tears, prayer and lots of hugs. But this time, the tears were of

joy and not disappointment.

That night of swimming at the championships was one no one could

forget. The Tigers controlled the meet despite the excitement, despite the

anxiousness and despite the immeasurable pressure put on those 11 women.

The Texas Aquatics Center was indeed painted orange on March 23, 2002,

but on this night, the color changed a bit.

Their dream had come true, the Auburn Tiger women’s swim team

defeated rival and three-defending national champion Georgia by 88 points.

All the hard work, and yes, blood sweat and tears had come to fruition. The

Tigers brought home the title.

As commonplace in some of Auburn’s past seasons, the 2002 team didn’t

need a superstar. Sure, they had one. Junior Maggie Bowen not only earned

two NCAA titles in the 200 and 400 individual medley and fi nished second

in the 100 breaststroke, but she swam on four relays and broke her own

American Record in the 200 IM (1:53.91).

But Bowen’s individual point total could have been erased and the Tigers

would have still stood at the top of the awards stand in the end. No, this

was a team title. A title where all 11 swimmers became All-Americans. All 11

women stood on that awards stand as individuals and claimed a trophy.

Freshman Margaret Hoelzer was the 10th-highest scorer at the meet

placing fourth in both the 100 butterfl y and 200 backstroke and fi fth in the

200 fl y. The team as a whole broke an astounding 14 school records during

the three-day event and AU head coach David Marsh was named the NCAA

Women’s Swimming Coach of the Year for the second year in a row. He and

associate head women’s coach Kim Brackin had constructed a masterpiece.

No one could deny the astounding performance Auburn had just accom-

plished. Not No. 1 Stanford and not runner-up Georgia.

The Tigers were fi nally on top. Where they knew they could and should

be. With such a young “inexperienced” squad, it is a spot they don’t plan on

relinquishing any time soon.

They came, they fought, they con-quered. With a third-place ranking going into the 1999 NCAA Cham-pionships, the Tigers went to the IU Natatorium on the prowl, looking to bring the NCAA title back to the Plains. A second title in two years would be nothing short of astounding for the Auburn program which saw its fi rst NCAA title in 1997. However, with no divers available, Auburn was going to have to fi ght for every point they earned. Having at least 39 teams and 250 athletes en-tered into the competition, AU knew that this would be no easy triumph. Head coach David Marsh believed the key to Auburn’s success would rely on the team leaders taking charge as well as the freshman stepping up to contribute to the team. Auburn made their presence known early as the Tigers swam a time of 1:16.50 in the 200 free relay during prelims, setting a U.S. Open, NCAA and NCAA meet record. That energy and enthusiasm set a pace that would catapult the Tigers through the rest of the meet. “On the fi rst day, our goal wasn’t necessarily to set a record. Time wasn’t the issue, we just wanted to get our hand on the wall fi rst and get

our 40 points,” team captain Aaron Ciarla said. “We were just focusing on one session at a time. We just went out gunning for it.” Auburn continued to release their ammunition as the Tigers, went on to win four of the fi ve swimming events held on day one. Senior Lionel Moreau captured the 200 IM (1:45.24) title, followed by Ciarla’s victory in the 50 free (19.34) and closed out the day by winning its closest event of the evening, the 400 medley relay (3:09.17). Brett Hawke, the anchor leg of the relay, dove in behind but swam a 42.34 split to outtouch Stanford’s Justin Ewers as the Tigers won by .08 of a second, 3:09.17 to 3:09.25. At the end of day one, Auburn had a 41-point lead over Texas and a 58.5-point lead over Stanford. The Tigers added to their title portfolio on day two as they continued to dominate in the relay events and score points in individual events. AU total recorded 168.5 points on day two alone, but only won one title, the 200 medley relay (1:26.12).

On the last day, the competition became very intense, as Stanford remained within reach of Auburn. It was truly a nail biter down to the last event. One of the biggest bonuses of the meet came on day three when sophomore Dave Denniston swam 1:55.51 to win the 200 breast title, the third individual title for AU in the meet. Heading into the fi nal event of the meet, the 400 free relay, the Tigers knew that Stanford was still on their heels. AU’s leadership of Brock Newman, Hawke, Ciarla and Romain Barnier did not fail the Tigers as the relay team blazed through the 400 free relay. Ending the Championships as they began them, AU set the U.S. Open, NCAA and NCAA meet record in the 400 free relay with a time of 2:50.90. “I was like a cat on a hot stove Saturday night,” said Marsh. As soon as senior Romain Barnier touched the wall, everyone knew that the Auburn Tigers had won their second NCAA title. “The goal was, as is with a lot of programs, to win a national champion-ship,” said Marsh. “We had an exceptional commitment from our seniors to lead the program. Throughout the year, when we hit a lot of bumps in the road, but they pulled us together.” The celebration of the second national title in three years, began on the pool deck and continued all the way back home to the Plains. After they ar-rived, there was the traditional rolling of Toomer’s Corner, causing downtown Auburn to look snow white in April. A coronation ceremony along with the Tiger walk from the Martin Aquatic Center to the coliseum was held in their honor. It was a moment of glory for the newcomers and a sense of conquest for the older members of the team who now had two NCAA titles placed by their name. “When you do something special at Auburn, the whole town and univer-sity celebrate,” said Marsh. In addition to the titles, AU now owns three of the fi ve NCAA records in the relays, two of which were set this year. “The relays did play a crucial role,” said Marsh. “The fun thing about it was that there were different heroes on each different relay.” Auburn won seven events and placed in the top eight of eight others. There was one swimming event, out of eighteen, in which the Tigers did not earn points. For the fi rst time in AU history, all of the Auburn NCAA team earned All-America honors. One could say that the Tigers went above and beyond the call of duty to prove that they were No. 1. NCAA champion Denniston summed it up best: “This is a dream come true. That’s why I came to Auburn, why a lot of guys did. Being this close and being able to taste it is a lot of fun.” Well said.

Minneapolis, Minnesota will always be

a fond memory for head coach David

Marsh and his 1997 men’s swimming

and diving team. It is there that the

Tigers won the program’s fi rst ever

national championship.

With four senior All-Americans,

including three Olympians, the 1996-97

team dominated the competition by

amassing a record total of 496.5 points.

Ranked number two in the country

going into the NCAA Swimming and

Diving Championships, Auburn left no

doubt about who was really number

one as the Tigers overwhelmed top-

ranked Stanford, defending national

champion Texas and 54 other teams

that had qualifi ed for nationals. The

SEC champion Tigers fi nished a strong

156.5 points ahead of the second-place

Cardinals.

“To be honest, I didn’t know what to

expect,” said Marsh. “I really enjoyed

watching the guys celebrate and having

a good time feeling great about Auburn

University, their experience here and

seeing it pay off for all of the hard

work they put in this year.”

In addition to winning the national

title, Marsh was named 1997 NCAA

Coach of the Year, adding to his accolades of great swimming accomplish-

ments.

The previous year at the NCAA Championships in Austin, Texas, the Tigers

scored 443.5 points to fi nish ahead of top-ranked Michigan’s 358 total but

lost by 35.5 points to Texas’ 479. Auburn remembered what it felt like to be

so close and not get there and used that to push them over the top.

Stanford came into nationals ranked fi rst ahead of Auburn, Tennessee,

Texas, Southern California and Michigan. The fi eld included 12 returning

individual champions but none from Auburn, which did have Nick Shackell,

Brock Newman, and Scott Tucker, members of the defending champion 400

free relay team.

With the three Olympians, Shackell, Tucker and Hargis and the senior diver

Koffi Kla, Auburn rose to the top.

“Nick Shackell, through his attitude, his care and love for the team, and

his competitiveness, has been a tremendous leader,” said Marsh. “One of the

most important moments of this meet was although John Hargis had the

fastest 100 butterfl y split on the medley relay we won, he had a disappoint-

ing 100 butterfl y, but minutes later he was leading the cheers. That is what a

guy of quality character does. Scott Tucker ended his career on an incredibly

positive note. He was key in several of our relays. He has done Auburn very

proud. Koffi Kla has been the best team diver I think we have ever had at

Auburn. All four of those four will be missed sorely.”

Newcomer Brett Hawke made an impression as he swam 19.16 in the 50

free prelims, the fastest ever by an Auburn swimmer. Hawke eventually took

the title with a time of 19.19.

Wearing their “Marsh Madness” t-shirts, which featured a photo of their

coach in his longer hair that was fashionable in the late 1970s as an All-

American swimmer at AU, Auburn’s 18 competitors at nationals were obvi-

ously a close-knit group. Emphasizing the point was the decision to bleach

their hair white as a further sign of team unity.

The Tigers won four out of fi ve relays, placed second in the 800 free relay

and had 16 individuals earn All-America honors.

After arriving back to Auburn, the Tigers and supporters gathered at

Toomer’s Corner for a pep rally despite rain and thunder. An offi cial Coro-

nation of Champions ceremony was held featuring a traditional Tiger Walk

from the Martin Aquatics Center to the coliseum where the swimmers and

coaches received handshakes, high fi ves and cheers as they enjoyed their mo-

ment in the spotlight. The formal ceremony featured a list of speakers and

proclamations from the president and the vice president of the United States

to the mayor of Auburn.

Every year, the Tiger Splashers not only work at every home meet, which includes assisting as timers, but they also make signs to hang in the James E. Martin Aquatics Center for the team and off er encouraging cards and support throughout the season. In the fall, they host a Halloween bowling party for the team and off er a Thanksgiving dinner, since the team is away from home for the holidays. In the spring, the Tiger Splashers host a spring cookout for the entire team, which proves to be one of the most fun outings of the season. During the 2009 SEC Championships, the Tiger Splashers helped out by serving as the timers, carrying the placecards that announced each event and holding the awards for the medal ceremony. The 2010-11 Tiger Splashers Offi cers are: Helen Northcutt - President, Kelley White, Allie Davis, Leah Northcutt, Alexa Girard, Nicole Sterghos, Courtney McArthur, Arkell Quarles, Megan Stephenson, Kayla Vines
