2018 TSDHOF Inductees Troy Dumais grew up in a family of divers in California. He made his way to the University of Texas in

1998 and was a seven-time NCAA Champion and member of three national championship teams with the Longhorns. He continued diving for TSDHOF inductee Matt Scoggin and Longhorn Diving for the next 15 years. In 2012 he became the only male US diver to compete in four Olympic Games (2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012). The 2012 London Games were also his best. He teamed with Kristian Ipsen to capture the bronze medal in synchronized 3m. He won 38 U.S. national titles and multiple medals at multiple World Championships, World Cups and Pan American Games. Troy is now studying to be a chiropractic doctor.

Doug Gjertsen was an excellent age group swimmer for the Dad’s Club and Stratford High School in

Houston, Gjertsen was named Texas High School Swimmer of the Year in 1985. He contributed big points on three NCAA Championship teams and was a tri-captain his senior year. At NCAA Championships he won three individual titles: 200 back in 1987 and 200 free in 1988 and 1990. He was also the anchor leg on nine NCAA Championship-winning relays. He was a two-time United States Olympian, winning two gold medals in 1988 in the 400 free and 800 free relays in Seoul. The 800 free relay in Seoul was a world record. In Barcelona in 1992 he won bronze on the 800 free relay and was 8th place in the 200 freestyle. Doug became a swim coach in 1993 with Swim Atlanta and he has led more than 165 athletes to swim at the collegiate level, among them junior and senior national

champions. Doug has also coached athletes to the Olympic Trials in 1996, 2000, 2008, 2012 and 2016. In 2016 he coached two-time Olympian Amanda Weir to her third U.S. Olympic team and a spot on the 400 free relay, winning Silver in Rio de Janeiro.

Kris Kubik served as the assistant coach for the University of Texas men’s swimming and diving program for 34 years. Working alongside Head Coach Eddie Reese, their teams combined to win a record total of 12 NCAA team championships during that span. The duo coached 54 individual NCAA champions, 42 NCAA relay champions, and 28 Olympians. Kubik also served as an assistant coach for Team USA in the 2007 Pan Am Games, the 2008 Olympic Games, the 2009 World Championships, and the 2015 World University Games. He was one of the founders of the Longhorn Swimming Camp and mentored more than 10,000 swimmers throughout his years with the program.

Tom Landgraf was a 10-year-old novice swimmer in New Albany, Indiana, when he penned a prophetic prediction: “Someday I’ll be a swim coach in Houston, Texas.” His extraordinary journey included successful swim careers at New Albany High School and Indiana State University. Coaching started when Landgraf founded an outstanding Jeffersonville, Indiana, swim program, where he captured coach of the year honors and was president of the Indiana High School Swim Coaches Association. The childhood dream came true in 1980 when Landgraf was named Baytown Sterling High School swimming coach, along with something new - water polo. He quickly produced three water polo state championships. Landgraf joined the USA Water Polo coaching staff in 1986, coaching at the National Development Camp, Pan Am Games, World Championships, FINA Cup, and the 1996 Olympic Games. He became (Houston) Clear Lake High School head coach in 1992, and the Falcons flourished in swimming while posting 15 water polo state

championships. A sparkling 42-year coaching career produced 200-plus high school all-Americans, and an .820 winning percentage (swim meets and water polo). Landgraf was Texas Coach of the Year a dozen times,

president of the Texas High School Swimming Coaches Association, and received the 1999 National Interscholastic Service Award. Doug Ingram (Lifetime Achievement) is a native Texan, who owes everything to sports and

particularly swimming. After starting the sport late, Don Easterling took a chance and invited an unknown, minimally talented high school senior onto his squad at UT-Arlington. Inspired by Coach Easterling and TSDHOF teammates, Doug Russell and Ric Nesbit, Ingram decided on a coaching career that began in Dallas. Oak Cliff, Dallas Carter, SMU and the Dallas Swim Club and the mentorship of TSDHOF Coach Richard Quick prepared him for a move to Midland. His time at City of Midland was highlighted by national finalists, National Age Group record holders, and a second-place team title at the Texas Age Group (TAGS) championships. From COM, Doug was hired by Indian River Community College (IRCC). During his tenure, IRCC won seven NJCAA Team titles, and Coach Ingram was selected National Coach of the Year six times. Southern Illinois University (SIU) came calling, and Doug’s SIU teams had multiple NCAA individual finalists and top-20 team finishes. Doug

wrapped up his swimming coaching career with his athletes achieving 173 all-American awards (HS, NJCAA, NCAA). In addition he served on the USA Swimming Olympic International Committee for 12 years, including eight as the chair. He also served on the American Swim Coaches (ASCA) board for nine years and was president for two years. After 23 years of coaching, Doug moved to the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC). He has had the privilege to serve Team USA at 14 Olympic Games (two with USA Swimming and 12 with the USOC). Doug has been married to Susie, formerly of Midland, Texas, for 40 years, and they have two children and five grandchildren. Outside of work, Doug is an avid mountaineer, having summited Mt Everest as well the highest peaks on four other continents.
