WVU NATATORIUM
The WVU Natatorium is one of the premier facilities in the BIG EAST. The building has been the home to both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams since 1975. It was built to provide the Mountaineer swimmers and divers with the perfect place to practice and condition. The WVU Natatorium has hosted numerous meets, including dual meets against nationally-ranked opponents. The facility has also been home to 20 All-Americans and the home of the 2007 BIG EAST Championship team. In addition to being the home of Mountaineer swimming and diving, the building also serves as the home of West Virginia Aquatics. It is also the yearly host of the West Virginia high school state championships and hosts the West Virginia Short Course Championships every other year. The facility covers 119,000-square feet, with the pool area itself covering 12,730 square feet. The pool is eight lanes and features a complete Colorado Timing System, along with a large pool deck.
The divers use a 13-1/2 foot diving well equipped with two 3-meter and two 1-meter boards, as well as a trampoline. The center is equipped with seating for approximately 500 spectators and also houses its own weight room and cardio facility. The bottom floor has two men’s and women’s locker rooms. One locker room of each gender is used for recreational use, while the other belongs to Mountaineer swimmers and divers. The top floor also is the home to the WVU swimming and diving coaches’ offices. Recently, there have been a number of renovations to the pool itself, including underwater filming and review and TiVo taping for the diving program. Renovations to the team locker rooms were completed last season and there will be a redesign of the lighting and trophy case area in the upstairs foyer. A common area between the head coach and assistant coaches’ offices has been completed as well with chairs, ottomans and a flat-screen television.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING Athletic excellence and strength and conditioning go hand-in-hand at West Virginia University. WVU’s strength and conditioning staff ensures all student-athletes are on year-long programs designed to continue improving the fitness capabilities needed in their sports. “Strength and conditioning has continuously been an integral part in our success with both the swimming and diving teams,” coach Vic Riggs said. “We are thankful to have some of the top facilities in the nation to train our athletes in.” To keep athletes in peak physical condition, West Virginia offers a variety of training areas and an array of strength programs designed to increase performance. All student-athletes will also have their own program individually calculated and updated throughout the year. “The strength and conditioning staff has been able to develop a sport-specific workout for swimming and diving and we have seen very positive results in all of the athletes,” Riggs added. Equipped with excellent amenities and staffed by some of the finest strength coaches in the nation, athletes who come to West Virginia know that they are in good hands when it comes to their athletic capacity.
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING MISSION STATEMENT
To provide athletes with the knowledge, character, extrinsic motivation, discipline and training to reach their potential both personally and athletically. Student-athletes are offered the opportunity to train in some of the nation’s best facilities and with one of the nation’s best staffs. Physical development and dominance have been and continue to be traits that are equated with WVU. The athlete’s self-confidence and unwavering dedication have driven him/her into the nation’s spotlight. This is made possible through the give-and-take relationships between the athletes and staff. The WVU strength and conditioning staff is committed to enabling athletes to achieve their dreams.

BIG EAST CONFERENCE The 2010-11 academic year will be the 32nd in the history of The BIG EAST Conference as the unique consortium marches on competing at the highest level with integrity and sportsmanship. The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2010-11 year will mark the conference’s sixth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference. The BIG EAST Conference’s goals have always been the same. The outstanding performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are evidence of the league’s proud tradition of success. The league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The 2009-10 year was no different. Seven BIG EAST student-athletes were named NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Maya Moore, Connecticut’s women’s basketball standout, won the NCAA Honda-Broderick Award as the nation’s top female student-athlete. She also was named the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American of the Year for women’s basketball. Moore was the fifth BIG EAST women’s student-athlete to win the Honda-Broderick Award. In the athletic arena, BIG EAST student-athletes again enjoyed success on the national stage. The Connecticut women’s basketball team won its second straight national championship and its seventh overall crown. The Villanova women’s cross country team also won the NCAA title. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team reached the NCAA College Cup for the second straight year. The Syracuse women’s lacrosse squad reached the Final Four. On the men’s side, West Virginia’s basketball team became the BIG EAST’s 16th team to reach the NCAA Final Four and won the conference’s academic achievement award. The Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team advanced to the NCAA championship game. Individually, three BIG EAST student-athletes won NCAA titles. Cincinnati’s Josh Schneider won the 50 freestyle in men’s swimming. In track, Louisville’s D’Ana McCarty repeated as the NCAA indoor winner in the weight throw. Louisville’s Matt Hughes won the 3,000 steeplechase. Another Cardinal, Austen Childs, was the national runner-up in men’s tennis singles. BIG EAST football maintained its national profile as a competitively balanced group. Cincinnati won its second straight league championship in 2009 and compiled an undefeated regular season. The Bearcats finished third in the final Bowl Championship Series standings. Six of the league’s eight squads went to bowl games and helped the BIG EAST post a 4-2 bowl record. Rutgers, one of the bowl winners, also was recognized for having the nation’s highest NCAA APR rating, which measures academic success. The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-athletes who are at the forefront of athletic and academic achievement. In 2009-10, 22 BIG EAST players from 10 schools were chosen to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams. Over 400 student-athletes have earned academic all-America honors. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida. BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 35 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one-fourth of all television households in the U.S. Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 28 national championships in six different sports and 128 student-athletes have won individual national titles. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national
championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 12 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken seven of the last 11 NCAA titles. Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. In 2009-10, the BIG EAST added men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which increased its total to 24 sport championships. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad-based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics. Any successful organization has had the good fortune to have outstanding leadership. The BIG EAST primarily was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, who was the conference’s first Commissioner. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. In 2009-10, the BIG EAST had one significant change. Tranghese stepped down from his position on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who had served as senior associate commissioner, moved into the Commissioner’s chair and continued to steer the conference on its path of success. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past seven years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball. More than 575 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned all America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been well represented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams. Several athletes earned gold medals. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence, R.I., where the conference administers to more than 5,500 student-athletes.

COMMUNITY SERVICE Winning and working hard are important to the West Virginia University swimming and diving teams. But becoming successful and positive role models in and out of the pool is just as significant to the squads. Each year, the Mountaineers work to give back to Morgantown and surrounding communities every chance they find. “We are honored and blessed to work with the great community of Morgantown,” coach Vic Riggs said. “We hope to show people that anything is possible and I look forward to helping these young men and women grow up to be strong, well rounded individuals.” The WVU men’s team has been partnering with the Boys & Girls Club of Morgantown and meeting once a week to provide mentoring to the children in the club. Each male athlete serves as a big brother figure to one of the children. The club also came to one of the team’s home meets last season and helped time races. “We are very thankful to once again partner with the Boys & Girls Club of Morgantown,” Riggs commented. “This is not only valuable for the kids of the club, but it also benefits our athletes and helps to develop them into adults.” The women’s team is also heavily active in the community with the American Cancer Society (ACS). Once a month, the team also goes to area hospitals to visit and do arts and crafts with the children who are permanently bedridden. “The ACS is a great organization and we have had a wonderful time helping them out in anyway possible,” Riggs said. “We had a pool party two years ago that was a huge success and are trying to host an event similar to that again this season.” The team also regularly donates time and knowledge by hosting and teaching local youth swim clubs, including West Virginia Aquatics, to learn the fundamentals of the sport. Along with strengthening the youngsters’ skills, they also teach the participants the importance of good sportsmanship, courage, determination and hard work.
“West Virginia Aquatics is run by our staff and athletes and has helped develop swimmers in and around Monongalia County,” Riggs added. “We have even developed a few of the athletes to be on our collegiate team. The club has been very beneficial to all parties involved.” Mountaineer coaches and players also take part in Relay for Life of Monongalia County, the American Cancer Society’s signature activity. It offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at WVU’s outdoor track and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.

STUDENT-ATHLETE SERVICES “The Coliseum Academic Performance Center is a significant development for an academically oriented institution such as West Virginia to recognize the special needs required for a modern student-athlete’s success both as an athletic competitor on the field of play and in the classroom.” -- Garrett Ford, Associate Athletic Director for Student Services.
WVU’S ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDES
ð Team educational counselors
ð Tutoring and mentoring services
ð Priority registration for student-athletes
ð Post-eligibility assistance
The WVU student services staff, headed by Associate Athletic Director for Student Services Garrett Ford and his assistants Sandy Cole-DeMent, Erica Wycherley, Paul Downey, Stephanie White, Mark Hanselman and Donnie Tucker, makes sure that every student-athlete has the best possible opportunity to obtain a college degree. This process begins as soon as a recruit signs a letter-of-intent to play for the Mountaineers. “We know everything about incoming freshmen academically before they arrive in the fall,” said Ford. “We know which students are ahead of others and which will require more assistance.” Besides keeping in touch with freshmen, incoming student-athletes are encouraged to attend orientation sessions offered for all West Virginia University students during the summer prior to their arrival on campus. This is where new students can learn more about the Morgantown campus and, most importantly, register for classes. During the second week of classes, freshmen are enrolled in mandatory study halls, monitored by Ford and his staff. Those who do well during the first semester are given the option of attending study hall, but if their GPA drops below a certain mark, they must return to the mandatory sessions. During the semester, department officials keep a careful record of each student-athlete’s academic progress. Class and study hall attendance are checked regularly, periodic grade reports are obtained from instructors, and parents, coaches and players are kept up-to-date on their academic progress. During priority registration, all student-athletes, from incoming freshmen to graduating seniors, get advice in scheduling the courses to keep them on track in their degree programs. These measures are succeeding in a noticeable way. Last year, 379 student-athletes earned a place on the Athletic Director’s Academic Honor Roll with at least a 3.0 grade-point average.
TUTORING SERVICE FACTS
ð Over 75 tutors provide student-athletes with assistance in their classes.
ð Upperclassmen, graduate students and community members serve as tutors in their area of specialty.
ð Tutoring services are provided for all student-athletes regardless of scholarship status.
MENTORING SERVICE FACTS Experienced educators from the local community serve as mentors for student-athletes who need additional guidance with adjusting to the academic rigors of the college environment. Mentors help incoming student-athletes improve accountability through time management, study skills and organizational skills related to their classes. In another program, former Mountaineer athletes are returning to school to complete work on their degrees, some after as many as 10 years away from Morgantown. But for those who don’t graduate with their class, there’s still hope. A continuing-eligibility program was created in 1989 to give those student-athletes who are close to graduating an opportunity to come back to school to complete their degrees. Since its creation, dozens of students have participated, with a success rate of better than 80 percent. More than 25 student-athletes from all sports participated in the post-eligibility program last year. In 1992, under the direction of associate Ford, WVU joined the growing list of schools that are a part of an NCAA-sponsored consortium. Similar to the post-eligibility program in providing former student-athletes a chance to continue work toward their degrees, the closely screened consortium requires participants to be more involved in community-related activities. The consortium students are often much older athletes, who left the University to pursue professional sports or business careers, but now wish to return to complete their degrees.

STUDENT-ATHLETE SERVICES
NCAA CERTIFICATION West Virginia University received unconditional recertification in April 2010 from the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification, recognizing that the University’s athletic program is in “substantial conformity with operating principles” adopted by Division I schools. The purpose of athletics certification is to ensure integrity in the institution’s athletics program and to assist institutions in improving their athletics departments, the NCAA said. WVU was one of the first schools to volunteer for the NCAA’s pilot certification program in 1991, and was one of five schools originally certified. WVU’s program was recertified by the NCAA in 1996 and then again in 2001. The most recent round of recertification began in 2008 with a self-study of governance and commitment to rules compliance, academic integrity, as well as gender and diversity and student-athlete well-being. The Division I Committee on Athletics Certification preliminarily reviews an institution’s certification materials and provides a list of issues identified during the evaluation. The university then hosts a visit by peer reviewers who file a report regarding the institution’s resolution of those issues before a final certification decision is rendered. An institution’s failure to satisfactorily respond to the committee may negatively affect certification status. All 335 active Division I members participate in the certification process.
GRADUATION RATES West Virginia University’s graduation rate for student-athletes has been impressive, to say the least, over the past seven years. The ratio of student-athletes graduating to the general student body has increased almost every year. The graduation rate for student-athletes is based upon the number of students who entered the University receiving athletic scholarship aid in a given academic year, and their progress over six years. The most recent figures are based upon the progress of student-athletes who entered WVU during 2002-03.
APR The West Virginia University men’s basketball team, women’s cross country team and women’s soccer team received public recognition in the spring of 2010 by the NCAA for their latest multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. These teams posted multiyear APRs in the top 10 percent of all squads their respective sports. Each year, the NCAA honors selected Division I sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multiyear APR. The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team’s academic performance.
STUDENT ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) provides a forum for the “voice of the student-athlete” on WVU’s campus. SAAC membership provides feedback to administration about how to improve WVU athletic programs. They disseminate information important to student-athletes to share with their teams. Two representatives from each varsity team at West Virginia University are either elected by their teammates or selected by the members of their coaching staff. Under the guidance of SAAC advisor Terri Howes, the SAAC meets regularly to discuss current issues and concerns of WVU’s student-athletes. SAAC leaders attend BIG EAST Conference SAAC meetings to exchange ideas with other student-athletes from BIG EAST schools regarding student-athletes’ collegiate experience.
WHAT IS SAAC? The West Virginia University Student Athlete Advisory Committee is comprised of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes’ lives on NCAA member institution campuses.
SAAC’S PURPOSE
The purpose of West Virginia University SAAC is:
1. To generate a student-athlete voice within WVU, the Big East and NCAA structure.
2. Solicit student-athlete response to proposed WVU, Big East and NCAA legislation.
3. Recommend potential WVU, Big East and NCAA legislation.
4. Review, react and comment to the governance structure on legislation, activities and subjects of interest.
5. Actively participate in the administrative process of athletics programs and the NCAA.
6. Promote a positive student-athlete image.

The many challenges that today’s college student-athletes face, both on and off the playing field, are unmatched in the history of higher education. Unfortunately, many students are not well prepared to face these challenges or encounter life issues that undermine health and success in college. To prepare student-athletes for the demands of college life and beyond, the NCAA developed the CHAMPS (Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success)/Life Skills program. In the spring of 1995, the West Virginia University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics initiated its own CHAMPS/Life Skills program. WVU was one of only 170 schools selected by the NCAA to participate in their national pilot program. Five programming “commitment” areas viewed as critical to personal growth are part of WVU’s model. They are: 1) academic excellence, 2) personal development, 3) career development, 4) athletic excellence and 5) community service.

Entering his fourth season, Vic Riggs has helped the WVU swimming and diving teams climb to the top of the BIG EAST, and with an academic support system designed around the swimming and diving program, Riggs is looking to build a team that is also recognized nationally for academics and athletics. Riggs had an astonishing season in 2009-10, with the women breaking three BIG EAST records, 12 school records and three pools records, while the men broke four school records and two pool records. At the NCAA Championships, Kayla Andrews, Rachael Burnett, Morgan Callaway and Shaunna Purtell earned honorable mention All-America honors with their 15th-place finish in the 400 free relay. Andrews, Burnett, Callaway, George Farquhar, Jared Goldthorpe and Mandie Nugent were all individual BIG EAST champions as well. Academically, both teams were named a Collegiate Swim Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) All-Academic Team for the spring 2010 term with a minimum of a 3.0 GPA. Individually, Andrews, Callaway, Farquhar, Ashley Malik and Brandon Robinson were named CSCAA Scholar All-Americans. The BIG EAST also honored 29 swimmers and divers as BIG EAST Academic All-Stars, an annual recognition. In 2008-09, there were 11 school records broken for the women’s team and five for the men.

The 2008-09 recruiting class also was a best for Riggs and his staff, as the men’s class was ranked 17th nationally and the women 24th. Not only was his team strong in the pool, but also in the classroom, where the women’s team finished as CSCAA Academic All-Americans. Andrews, Callaway and Largo were all named CSCAA Scholar All-Americans, and Pablo Marmolejo was an honorable mention CSCAA Scholar All-American. In 2007-08, Riggs’ first season, the West Virginia women’s team broke 12 team, three pool and one BIG EAST record. They also had three individual qualifiers for the NCAA Championships. On the men’s side, the squad broke four pool, three team and three BIG EAST records, while Kevin Donohue became West Virginia’s first men’s All-American.

MEN’S SEASON PREVIEW
The West Virginia University men’s swimming and diving team is looking for another successful season after finishing fourth at last season’s BIG EAST Championships and breaking four school records throughout the season. The young team is returning 23 members of last year’s squad, with Jeff Byrd and George Farquhar being the only seniors on the 2010-11 edition. The 50 free and 100 free could be one of the deepest events for the squad with returning junior Brad Eichenseer and freshman Tim Squires. Eichenseer scored points in both events at last season’s BIG EAST Championships and Squires is a top recruit who most recently broke the 50 free record at the YMCA Long Course Nationals. Squires also took home the first-place title in the 100 free. Others that should provide depth in the events include sopho-more Graham Kauffman, who had a standout summer, sophomore Hugh Simmonds and freshman Zach Chow. “We are very excited with the sprint freestyle events that start with Brad Eichenseer, Tim Squires and Zach Chow,” coach Vic Riggs said. “They are going to address some of our 200 free relay and 400 free relay needs in addition to helping us in the 50 free and 100 free at dual meet and conference levels.” The coaching staff also expects the mid-distance free swimmers to provide points at both the dual meet and BIG EAST level. Sopho-more Jared Goldthorpe returns to defend his 500 free BIG EAST title. Goldthorpe will also swim the 200 free, along with junior Taylor Camp. Simmonds will be a force to be reckoned with in both the 200 free and 500 free. Others expected to contribute include Byrd and sophomores Jake Querciagrossa and Tim O’Malley. O’Malley will also likely be the top miler for the Mountaineers.
“The mid-distance and distance free events are some of our stron-gest with Hugh Simmonds, Jared Goldthorpe, Jake Querciagrossa and Tim O’Malley,” Riggs said. “We are looking to continue to compete in the 800 free relay at the conference championships as well.” Goldthorpe will lead the backstrokers after breaking the school re-cord in the 200 back last season. Junior Eric Johnson has also continued to get better each season and swam at the 2010 National Championships this past summer. Byrd will also look to score points in the 200 back. “We’re returning Jared Goldthorpe, who will continue to help us at all levels,” Riggs said. “Eric Johnson has a fantastic summer and we are looking forward to seeing what he will bring to the pool this season. Bryan Brown has been another addition that will add depth to our backstroke.” A second-place finish at last year’s BIG EAST Championships in the 200 fly has thrown Camp into the leader’s role as well. The 100 fly will likely be led by Camp, Eichenseer and juniors Brandon Carr and Martin Vanis. Carr will also swim the 200 fly. “Taylor Camp leads the way after just missing NCAAs last year in both the 100 fly and 200 fly,” Riggs said. “With a strong supporting cast of Brandon Carr, Martin Vanis, Brad Eichenseer and Joe Bailey, it is one of the strongest strokes depth wise on our men’s team.” As a returning 100 breast BIG EAST champion, Farquhar will lead WVU in both the 100 breast and 200 breast. Kauffman will also play a vital role in adding depth to that event this season. The Mountaineers will also look for junior Jack Greenhalgh to score points at all levels this year. “We look forward to those events continually getting better for us with the return of George Farquhar,” Riggs said. “Jack Greenhalgh and Graham Kauffman have both improved tremendously as well.”

MEN’S SEASON PREVIEW
Byrd, Carr, O’Malley, Querciagrossa and Vanis will likely all split the 200 IM and 400 IM duties this season. “Our 400 IM is going to be one of our stronger events on the men’s side with Jake Querciagrossa, Tim O’Malley and Jeff Byrd,” Riggs said. “All three are returning BIG EAST qualifiers. Brandon Carr and George Farquhar will lead the men in the 200 IM.” Junior Matt O’Neill will lead the team in the diving well, as the team’s top returner. O’Neill qualified for last season’s NCAA Zone Diving Champi-onships and will serve as mentor to freshman Richard Pokorny, a top diver from New York. “We are very excited about the addition of Richard Pokorny to the program. Matt O’Neill is coming off his best year going into his junior year,” Riggs said. “We look for him to continue to grow and improve and compete. Having Richard come in, we are looking for as strong of a finish at the conference level as we did last year. Ethan Robinson will also be joining us and we are looking for him to continue his improvement.”

WOMEN’S SEASON PREVIEW
After losing Kayla Andrews, Morgan Callaway, Shaunna Purtell and Stephanie Shupe, arguably the top four women’s swimmers in the last decade, and Ashley Malik, the top diver in the last decade, the West Virginia women’s swimming team is looking for leadership from its young team. Caroline Larsson and Lyn Ann Nelson, transfers from North Florida, will be the only seniors on the squad and will likely both have an immediate impact to fill the void left by last season’s gradua-tion. The 50 free and 100, a specialty of Andrews, will now be led by freshman Evan Burlingham. Nelson is also expected to be a key contributor in the 100 free. “It is an area that we are still addressing on the women’s side,” coach Vic Riggs said. “We’re looking for both Kaitie Layne and Eva Burlinghan, along with Lyn Ann Nelson to help us in those events. We are also going to use the versatility of some of our upperclassman.” In the mid-distance free, WVU’s top returner, sophomore Rachael Burnett, will likely be at the top of the leaderboard in both the 200 free and 500 free. Burnett was a honorable mention All-American last year and took first place in the 500 free at the BIG EAST Championships. Nelson also will be a key member in both events, as well as freshman Danielle Smith. Sophomore Mandie Nugent will also have an impact in the 500 free. Larsson, along with sophomores Kata Fodor and Sloan Storie, will be the mile swimmers for the Mountaineers. “Having the addition of Lyn Ann and Caroline, along with Rachael Burnett and Kata Fodor, the mid-distance and distance free events are
going to be one of our stronger points this season as far as our depth at the dual meet level and of course at the conference level,” Riggs said. Redshirt sophomore Sara Conner will become a leader in the back-stroke department after the loss of Callaway. Conner had a tremendous 2010 that saw her finish ninth and 10th in the 200 back and 100 back, re-spectively, at the BIG EAST Championships. Freshman Kaitie Layne and Smith can also swim both events, while sophomore Austen Carrington will be a key contributor in the 200 back. “We were very happy with how Sara Conner performed at last sea-son’s BIG EAST Championships,” Riggs said. “We’ve had a good strong addition in the backstroke with Danielle Smith. Danielle is a very good mid-distance freestyler as well. Austen Carrington will also likely score points in the 200 back.” Nugent will be back to defend her BIG EAST title in the 200 fly last season, while Burnett will make a push for first after finishing fourth last season at the championships. Layne will likely be a key contributor, as well as Burlingham in the 100 fly and Carrington in the 200 fly. “On the women’s side, we have Mandie Nugent, a returning NCAA qualifier and BIG EAST champion. Austen Carrington is also very strong in the event, while also being a strong third event for Rachael Burnett,” Riggs said. “We should be able to compete very well in that event in addi-tion to the 100 fly that will be Mandie, Nikki Vetterlein and Eva Burling-ham.” As a returning breaststroke BIG EAST consolation finalist, Breanna McCann will continue to lead the breaststrokers. McCann got significantly better as the season went on last year and took 11th in both the 100 breast and 200 breast at the championships. Junior Jaryn Studer also

has been a key component at the event and finished the 200 breast in 12th place, while swimming to 14th place in the 100 breast. “With the addition of Melissa Schreiber, along with Jaryn Studer and Breanna McCann in the 100 breast and 200 breast, we feel we have added some depth and those three girls should challenge one another to help us improve in that event,” Riggs said. After finishing second at last year’s BIG EAST Championships, Bur-nett will look to gain the crown this year in the 400 IM. Fortunately both the 200 IM and 400 IM are events that the Mountaineers have depth in this season. McCann will also be returning in each event after taking fourth in the 200 IM and breaking a school record at last season’s BIG EAST Championships. Studer will also swim both events, while Carrington will be a key contributor in the 400 IM after taking 13th at the championships last season. “With Sloan Storie and Rachael Burnett, along with Austen Car-rington, we feel that we have a very strong 400 IM group,” Riggs said. “The 200 IM on is very strong with Breanna McCann and Jaryn Studer on the women’s side.” In the diving well, the team will be led by a pair of rookies, sopho-more Shay Morrison and freshman Kelsey Palis. Both divers have high school experience, but none at the collegiate level. “To have Shay and Kelsey in their first year, were excited about their involvement in the program and tutelage under Liza (Marianni),” Riggs said. “We look forward to watching them improve and contribute through-out the season.”

TRAINING TRIP
During the frigid Morgantown winter, the WVU swimming and diving teams will escape to the sunny paradise of Fullerton, Calif. This will be the third-consecutive winter that the teams travel out-of-town for winter training. Last season, the teams went to Cocoa Beach, Fla. In 2008-09, both teams traveled to Tucson, Ariz., to train with the defending national champions, Arizona. The trip will last from Dec. 27-Jan. 5 and there will be two dual meets. The first will be at UC Santa Barbara on Dec. 31. The Mountaineers and Gauchos will begin the meet at 4 p.m. The second will be in Fullerton, Calif., against Claremont on Jan. 4. The meet begins at 5 p.m. The purpose of the training trip is to provide an environment and an opportunity to continue the necessary training efforts for success at the end of the season. With this as the primary objective, swimmers work out two times a day in rigorous practices. Swimmers do work extremely hard and earn the privilege for some fun in the sun and break from the rigors of WVU. As the team trains together through the soreness of over use, muscle stiffness from exertion, and the fatigue the coaches prescribes by relentlessly pushing the team to train harder and better than ever before, they build positive habits and relationships that sustain throughout the season.

SEASON REVIEW The 2009-10 swimming and diving season fielded many top finishes and successful meets under coach Vic Riggs. The season began with the women’s team defeating Marshall, 126-105, in the WVU Natatorium on Oct. 17. The Mountaineers were led by Kayla Andrews and Rachael Burnett, who each won two events. Andrews claimed top honors in the 50 free and 100 free events, while Burnett won first place in the 200 free and 500 free competitions. Kata Fodor, Robyn Matthews, Breanna McCann and Mandie Nugent won the 1000 free, 200 breast, 200 IM and 200 fly, respectively. Diver Ashley Malik may have had the most productive day of anyone, as she qualified for the BIG EAST Championships and the NCAA Zone Diving Championships with a first-place finish in the 1-meter dive. Malik’s score of 280.75 marked a new school and pool record. Morgan Callaway finished first in the 200 back and second in the 200 free in her first dual meet since being named the BIG EAST’s Most Outstanding Swimmer in 2009. The following weekend the teams traveled to Penn State to take on the Nittany Lions, while the women also faced Colgate. Both teams were defeated by Penn State, but the women were able to defeat Colgate. The most impressive performance for the Mountaineers were WVU divers Brandon Robinson and Matt O’Neill, who finished first and second in both the one-meter and three-meter diving events.
Andrews had a productive day placing first in the 50 free and winning the 100 free. Continuing to impress was Burnett, who had victories in the 200 free and 500 free. Also taking first against Penn State was George Farquhar in the 200 breast. The Mountaineers opened BIG EAST competition on Nov. 6 and Nov. 7 against Cincinnati and Louisville, respectively. The men and women both defeated Cincinnati and fell to Louisville. Against Cincinnati, West Virginia had nine first-place finishes for the women and eight for the men en route to the men’s 120-98 win, and the women’s 122-97 win. The women’s 400 medley relay of Nikki Vetterlein, McCann, Andrews and Stephanie Shupe was also able to capture a first-place title. The men’s team also won the 400 medley relay with Eichenseer, Tim Field, Farquhar and Martin Vanis. Jared Goldthorpe led the Mountaineers with wins in the 200 free and 200 back. Brandon Robinson captured first and second on the 1-meter and 3-meter, while O’Neill placed first and second on the 3-meter and 1-meter boards. Before West Virginia played Louisville on the football field Saturday, the Cardinals clashed with the Mountaineers in the pool. West Virginia was defeated by No. 10 Louisville as the Cardinals cruised to a 387-210 win. Andrews finished second in the 50 free by .01 seconds, but she battled back to win the 100 free. In the women’s 500 free, the Mountaineers came out strong with Burnett earning first place. For the men, Hugh Simmonds had two good swims for wins in both the 200 and 500 free, and Goldthorpe was again victorious in the 200 back. The diving tandem, again of O’Neill and Brandon Robinson, both finished in first and second on the 1-meter and 3-meter boards. A sick West Virginia team then traveled northeast to face two more BIG EAST opponents in Villanova and Rutgers. The men were able to come up with a big win over the Wildcats, 207-35, while the women were defeated 135-106 in a dual meet that came down to the final two races of the evening. On the men’s side, the divers delivered again by sweeping their events. Brandon Robinson placed first on the 1-meter board, followed by O’Neill and Ethan Robinson in third. O’Neill then captured the 3-meter victory, with Brandon Robinson finishing second. Simmonds continued his dominance in the 500 free with another victory. Simmonds went on to win the 1000 free, as well. Also impressive was Camp who finished first in the 200 free and the 200 fly. WVU had other first-place finishes from Goldthorpe in the 200 back, Farquhar in the 200 breast and Galbreath in the 400 IM. Burnett recorded another win in the 500 free, along with Callaway finishing first in the 200 free. Purtell added points to the Mountaineer total, earning first place in the 100 free. Austen Carrington captured her first win of the season in the 200 back. The dual meet came down to the final two events of the night, but the WVU women were unable to deliver, finishing third and fourth in the 200 breaststroke and second in the 200 free relay. While the men headed back to Morgantown, the women traveled to New Jersey to swim against Rutgers with the Scarlet Knights overpowering the Mountaineers in a close 135-128 contest.

SEASON REVIEW Burnett took first in the 500 free, while Fodor finished the 1000 free in the top spot. The 400-medley relay captured the last victory for the Mountaineers on the day with Callaway, Burnett, Purtell and Sara Conner. In what was the most exciting meet of the season, both teams placed third in the Ohio State Invitational from Dec. 3-6. Goldthorpe led the way for the Mountaineers finishing second in the 500 free, 100 back and 200 free. He was also a member of the relay team that placed third in the 400 free relay, fourth in the 200 medley relay and fifth in the 400 medley relay. Goldthorpe topped the meet off with a win in the 200 back, breaking the school record for the second time this season. All of his individual swims, along with all but one of the relays, were NCAA B-cut times. Andrews came within milliseconds of breaking the Ohio State pool record in the 50 free but still broke the WVU record in a B-cut time of 22.42. Andrews then earned her second victory and cut time in the 100 free. Her 200 free relay team finished second behind Ohio State, earning another B-cut time. Burnett finished second by .01 seconds in the 400 IM, recording a new school record and B-cut time. On the men’s side, Eichenseer swam well in the freestyle sprint events, capturing 10th in the 100 and ninth in the 50. Also earning points for the Mountaineers was Farquhar with a B-cut time and fifth place in the 100 breast, while Camp finished fifth in the 200 fly. The sounds of “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” echoed throughout the WVU Natatorium on Jan. 9 as the West Virginia swimming and diving team swept Pitt. The “Backyard Brawl” concluded with the women overpowering the Panthers 165-133 and the men clinching a 154.5-145.5 victory. Burnett helped the Mountaineer women with three victories in the 200 free, 200 fly and 500 free events. Andrews, meanwhile, captured victories in the 50 and 100 free. Callaway dominated the 100 and 200 backstroke finishing first in both. The victory streak continued in the 100 fly, where Shupe placed first. Farquhar also captured three wins for the men’s side as he won both the 100 breast and 200 breast. He then turned in his third victory of the day in the 200 IM. Goldthorpe won the 200 back and 500 free, while Simmonds captured first in the 200 free.
Camp captured first place in the 100 fly and took second in the 200 fly while Eichenseer won the 50 free for the men and placed second in the 100 free. Eichenseer and Andrews each recorded two wins in the 50 and 100 free as the West Virginia swimming and diving teams split with Maryland. The men defeated the Terrapins 136-107, and the women fell 133-108 on Jan. 23. The Mountaineers had nine athletes claim victory in at least one event. Goldthorpe, Camp and Farquhar added to the total each securing victories. The duo of Brandon Robinson and O’Neill finished first and second, respectively, on both the 1-meter and 3-meter boards. Joining Andrews’ first-place finishes was Burnett who won both the 200 free and 500 free. Field, Galbreath, Brandon Robinson, Malik, Andrews, Callaway, Purtell and Shupe led the West Virginia swimming team to a strong showing against Duquesne and Virginia Tech on Jan. 30. Fans and parents gathered to honor the eight WVU seniors as they participated in their last meet at the WVU Natatorium. It also marked the end of the regular season for the Mountaineers. All the seniors contributed points to help the Mountaineer men and women defeat Duquense 138-126 and 156-103, respectively, while falling to Virginia Tech 165-130 and 156-138. Andrews capped off a terrific career in Morgantown with dominating wins in the 50 and 100 free, while Callaway found victory in the 100 back. Goldthorpe continued his strong rookie campaign with wins in the 200 back and 500 free, while Eichenseer was able to capture another victory in the 50 free. Farquhar was also able to win the 200 breast and place second in the 100 breast.

SEASON REVIEW Burnett led the way with a win in the 400 IM, with Matthews propelling her way to first in the 200 breast. The BIG EAST Diving Championships were hosted by Pitt from Feb. 12-14, with the WVU divers securing some valuable points. The first event for the men was the 1-meter dive, where all the men scored points. O’Neill finished fourth in the consolation finals, placing 12th overall. Ethan Robinson squeaked into the finals, finishing 16th in preliminaries before ending 14th in the consolation finals. Delivering the most impressive performance on the 1-meter, however, was Brandon Robinson, who entered the finals fourth from the preliminaries. In the final round, Robinson hit his head on the board during his next to last dive but battled back to finish his final dive with a seventh place finish. On the 3-meter, O’Neill again finished fourth in the consolation finals and 12th overall. Ethan Robinson just missed finals in this event, finishing 17th in the trials. Brandon Robinson finished fifth in the consolations, finishing 13th overall. Malik was the lone competitor for the Mountaineer women. She finished 17th on the 1M dive and 20th on the 3M dive. The swimming portion was also hosted by Pitt from Feb. 17-20. The Mountaineer women finished third, while the men ended in fourth.Andrews finished her BIG EAST career strong, finishing second in the 50 free and then dominated the 100 free for her third-career victory in the event at the Championships. Andrews was also a member of the 400-free relay team that claimed first place as well as the 200 medley, 200 free and 400 medley relays that each placed third. Also coming up big for the Mountaineers was Nugent and Burnett. Nugent took the 200 fly title, while Burnett placed fourth in the 200 fly, second in the 400IM, first in the 500 free and was also a member of the 400 free and 800 free first-place relays. Callaway turned in a solid performance by winning the 200 free and placing second in the 500 free and 200 back. On the men’s side, Goldthorpe won the 500 free, placed first in the consolation finals in the 200 free and third in the 200 back.
Farquhar won the 100 breast and placed fourth in the 200 breast, while Camp placed second in the 200 fly. Eichenseer swam his best times of the season for fourth and fifth in the 50 and 100 free, respectively, while Vanis and Querciagrossa finished first and second in the consolation finals of the 200 fly and 400 IM. The relays, however, carried the men’s team. They finished third in the 800 free relay, second in the 400 medley relay and second in the 200 medley relay. The West Virginia swimming and diving teams sent five women to Purdue University for the NCAA Championships. The Mountaineers finished 44th overall including a 15th overall finish in the 400 free relay by Andrews, Callaway, Purtell and Burnett. The finish allowed the swimmers to become the first WVU women swimmers to earn an honorable mention all-America status since 1992. Purtell was one of three seniors to compete in their final collegiate meet for the Mountaineers, along with Andrews and Callaway. Purtell finished 62nd in the 200 free (1:50.05) and 60th in the 500 free. Andrews competed in the 50 free with a 42nd place finish with a time of 22.94 and in the 100 free where she placed 43rd in 49.90. Callaway ended 31st in the 200 free (1:47.43) and 44th in the 500 free (4:46.89). Youth and experience combined for an 18th-place finish in the 400-medley relay with Andrews and Callaway teaming up with Mandie Nugent and Burnett to barely miss the all-American cutoff. While the seniors finished their careers, the two West Virginia rookies were just beginning theirs. Following their first-place finishes at the Big East Conference Championships, Nugent and Burnett received their first taste of an NCAA meet. Burnett finished 40th in the 400IM with a time of 4:18.78 and 55th in the 500 free, finishing in 4:49.25. Nugent competed in the 100 and 200 fly where she finished 48th and 38th, respectively. It was the largest group to ever qualify for the NCAA Championships in West Virginia swimming history. The Mountaineers are poised to continue their pursuit of becoming the dominant program in the BIG EAST Conference.

PRESIDENT
The Clements family: Maggie, Tyler, Hannah (standing);Beth, Grace, Jim (seated), near WVU’s historic Woodburn Hall.
JAMES P. CLEMENTS James P. Clements has said that no university in the country means as much to its state as West Virginia University means to West Virginia. Since becoming WVU’s 23rd president on June 30, 2009, Dr. Clements has shown a strong dedication to expanding the University’s role as a 21st century land-grant institution, providing superior academic programs, expanding a wellness initiative for students, technologically advancing research for use around the globe and strengthening service and health-care initiatives for the community. Dr. Clements has already announced several initiatives in support of this commitment, including: adding100 new faculty members to achieve goals directly related to WVU’s mission; building a new student health facility to increase wellness efforts; dedicating capital funds to expand outdoor recreational space for students; creating a grants budget office to assist researchers; and increasing research to strengthen the University’s position as a leader in fields such as energy, biometrics and health sciences. Additional priorities have been to continue offering world-class health care and – through WVU’s Top-10 ranked Rural Health Program – remain committed to increasing state outreach in the health sciences. Other goals include finding more efficient and effective ways to use technology to drive progress, increasing the diversity of WVU’s learning community and developing an even broader global focus in preparing students for new international opportunities. He also plans to focus on increasing student retention, increasing WVU’s doctoral program enrollment, enhancing leadership development and increasing operating funds. In 2009-10, private giving to the University increased, external and competitive funding for research grew, and student applications increased, keeping enrollment strong. A major strategic planning process was launched, several new facilities opened and ground was broken on a project to house WVU’s nationally acclaimed Physics Program. Recently, Dr. Clements was appointed to the American Council on Education’s (ACE) Commission on Women in Higher Education and was appointed to serve as the Outreach Liaison for the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU), representing the Mid-Atlantic Region. Dr. Clements’ previous experience in higher education demonstrates his ability to help achieve these objectives and guide WVU to continued stability, growth and prominence. Before joining the Mountaineer family, Dr. Clements served as provost and vice president at Towson University, the second-largest public university in Maryland. Under his leadership, Towson developed academic and student support programs that led to impressive increases in enrollment as well as retention and graduation rates. Towson’s externally-funded research increased by 36 percent during Dr. Clements’ tenure as provost. Prior to becoming provost, he served as Towson University’s vice president for economic and community outreach and as the Robert W. Deutsch Distinguished Professor and chair of the Department of Computer and Information Sciences. He was a four-time recipient of Towson’s Faculty Member of the Year Award given by students at the university.
With a background in computer science, Dr. Clements also brings technological savvy to his role as president. He has a B.S. in computer science and an M.S. and Ph.D. in operations analysis from the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), as well as an M.S. in computer science from Johns Hopkins University. His project management textbook, in its fourth edition, is used in more than 20 countries and is published in four languages. At WVU, Dr. Clements is a tenured professor in the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources’ Lane Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. In October 2009, he was named UMBC’s Alumnus of the Year in the Engineering and Information Technology category. Dr. Clements chairs the boards of the WVU Research Corporation, the West Virginia United Health System, and the WVU Hospitals. He also serves as an ex-officio member of the WVU Foundation and WVU Alumni Association boards. He is married to Beth Clements, and they have four children – Tyler, twin daughters Hannah and Maggie, and Grace.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
Former Mountaineer quarterback Oliver Luck became West Virginia University’s 11th director of athletics on June 14, 2010.
OLIVER LUCK Oliver Luck is the right man at the right time for West Virginia University. President James P. Clements appointed the former Mountaineer quarterback Director of Athletics on June 9, 2010, making him the 11th person to hold that title at WVU. “Oliver Luck is someone who has succeeded at the highest levels at everything he has done – from his college and professional football playing days to his academic pursuits and his professional business career,” said Clements. “He is the clear choice to carry forward what has truly been a golden era in athletics.” “It’s an incredible honor for me to be appointed as athletic director at my alma mater,” said Luck. “I care deeply about this school. I’ve had an opportunity to serve on the Board of Governors the last couple of years, and it’s given me a tremendous viewpoint of how important intercollegiate athletics is at a land-grant institution like WVU. “WVU is truly one of the outstanding land-grant universities in the country, and I am so pleased to be a part of its momentum and growth. This is a tremendous opportunity - a chance to return to a University and a state that I love at a dynamic and strategic time in its history.” Luck’s athletic and professional career has been the epitome of success, first as a record-setting quarterback for the Mountaineers from 1978-81, then as a professional quarterback for the Houston Oilers, and later as a professional sports executive. Luck’s journey to the big chair at WVU began in his native Cleveland, where in 1977 he was named the Cleveland Touchdown Club Player of the Year at St. Ignatius High. Luck chose WVU over Ivy League schools Harvard and Yale, embarking upon a career that saw him establish school records for touchdown passes and completions during his playing days, while also leading the Mountaineers to a 26-6 upset victory over Florida in the 1981 Peach Bowl. His best season came as a senior in 1981 when he completed 216 of 394 passes for 2,448 yards and 16 touchdowns. He passed for a career-high 360 yards in a 27-24 loss to Syracuse at the Carrier Dome in the final regular-season game of his career. Luck ended his college career with 5,765 yards and 43 touchdown passes, both figures still ranking among the best in school history. Luck was a two-time team MVP in 1980 and 1981, and also received the Louis D. Meisel Award for the WVU football student-athlete with the highest grade point average. The two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American was the recipient of Today’s Top Five, presented for scholastics by the NCAA and was selected by the National Football Foundation as one of its 10 scholar-athletes to make a keynote speech at its annual banquet in 1982. Selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the Houston Oilers (44th overall pick), Luck spent four years with the Oilers from 1982-86. His most extended action came in 1983 when he started six games and finished the season completing 124-of-217 passes for 1,375 yards and eight touchdowns. After retiring from football, Luck became vice president of business development for the National Football League and later was appointed general manager of the Frankfurt Galaxy of the newly created World League of American Football. He spent the ’95 season as general manager of the Rhein Fire before being named President and CEO of
NFL Europe in 1996. Luck totaled more than 10 years with the National Football League before becoming chief executive officer of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority in 2001. In that role, Luck oversaw the development and management of a $1 billion professional sports and entertainment complex for the city of Houston that included Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, the Toyota Center, home of the Houston Rockets, Comets and Aeros and the Livestock Show and Rodeo. In 2005, Luck was appointed as the first president of Major League Soccer’s Houston Dynamos, helping that organization to a pair of MLS Cup titles in his first two years at the helm. Luck was in the midst of securing the funding for an $80 million soccer complex to house the Dynamos when the call came to return to his alma mater. Prior to his current position at WVU, Luck was appointed by Gov. Joe Manchin in 2008 to a four-year term on the West Virginia University Board of Governors, a spot he relinquished in June 2010, to become director of athletics. The Rhodes Scholar finalist graduated from WVU magna cum laude in 1982 as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He also earned a law degree from the University of Texas, graduating cum laude in 1987. In 1997, Luck was inducted into the West Virginia University Sports Hall of Fame, and in 2008, he was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame. He is married to the former Kathy Wilson. They have two sons and two daughters: Andrew, the starting quarterback and a Heisman Trophy candidate at Stanford; Mary Ellen, an incoming freshman volleyball player at Stanford; Emily and Addison.

YEAR IN REVIEW The more things change, the more they stay the same. That certainly held true for West Virginia University Intercollegiate Athlet-ics during the 2009-10 academic year. What stayed the same? Simply, it was WVU flexing its collective athletic muscles in the BIG EAST and on the national scene, yet again, in what continues to be the contemporary Golden Era. What changed? Simply, it was just changing the calendar to another year. Leading the way in what was yet another banner season for the depart-ment was the men’s basketball team’s school-record 31 wins, which saw the squad reach the NCAA Final Four for the second time in school history and win its first-ever BIG EAST championship. The team finished the year No. 3 in the final ESPN/USA Today poll, defeated seven ranked teams, reached the “Sweet 16” for the fifth time in the last six NCAA Tournament appearanc-es, and coach Bob Huggins won his 670th career game in the Elite 8 victory over Kentucky. Individually, Da’Sean Butler led the way for WVU, garnering John Wooden, Basketball Times and Associated Press All-America honors and was named the Lowe’s Senior CLASS award winner. Devin Ebanks, Kevin Jones and Joe Mazzulla also garnered postseason honors. Football posted a 9-4 record and a 5-2 BIG EAST mark, tying for sec-ond in the league. WVU posted its fifth-straight season of nine wins or more, played in its eighth-straight bowl game and sixth New Year’s Day Bowl in the decade when it played Florida State in the Gator Bowl. WVU finished No. 22/25 in the final polls, marking the fifth- straight season WVU has finished in the Associated Press’ Top 25. Quarterback Jarrett Brown became the first 2,000-yard passer since 1998, and Noel Devine rushed for 1,465 yards, marking the 13th season out of the last 14 years where a Mountaineer eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark. Ten Mountaineers earned all-BIG EAST honors, while Reed Williams, a two-time Academic All-American, was named the BIG EAST Scholar Athlete of the Year and a National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete. West Virginia is the only school in the country during the last six years to win two BCS Bowl Games in football and make four Sweet 16 appear-ances in men’s basketball.
Women’s basketball, also set a school record for most wins in a season (29), finished second in the BIG EAST with 13 wins and was the BIG EAST Championship runner-up for the second time in school history. WVU reached as high as No. 7 in both major polls, marking its highest ranking in school history, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s second round for the third time in the last four years. Liz Repella was named an ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA first team Academic All-American while Repella, Sarah Miles, Asya Bussie and Korinne Campbell were named all-BIG EAST. Coach Mike Carey was named BIG EAST co-Coach of the Year. Cross Country finished sixth at the NCAA Championships, marking the third-straight Tp 10 national finish for the Mountain-eers. Seniors Marie-Louise Asselin, Keri Bland and Clara Grandt earned All-America and all-BIG EAST honors and the squad was named an all-academic team by the USTFCCCA by showing the ninth-highest team GPA in the country, which also marked the high-est GPA of any of the Top 25 teams at nationals. The cross country success carried over to the indoor track season as the team posted a program-best fourth-place finish at the BIG EAST Championships and school-best 10th-place finish at the NCAA Championships. Junior Chelsea Carrier and Asselin won conference titles in the pentathlon and 5,000-meter race, respec-tively, while seven student-athletes were named All-Americans, headlined by Carrier, Asselin, Bland, Grandt, Kaylyn Christopher, Jessica O’Connell and April Rotilio. Outdoor track finished 16th at the NCAA Championships, marking the highest finish in program history. Four Mountaineers garnered All-America honors led by senior Asselin’s second-place showing in the 5,000-meter race. Senior Grandt finished fourth in the 10,000-meters, while classmates Karly Hamric and Bland

Five Mountaineers garnered all-BIG EAST accolades, led by All-American Carolyn Blank’s all-BIG EAST first team recognition. The men’s soccer team advanced to the BIG EAST Tourna-ment for the sixth straight season with a 7-5-6 mark, while four play-ers earned all-BIG EAST honors.

Rowing placed sixth at the BIG EAST Championship with 63 points as the Varsity 4+ boat of Amanda Hirsch, Kaitlyn Brownson, Kensie Phillips, Brittany Brooks and coxswain Anastasia DuPont won a bronze medal. Senior Kimberly Benda garnered first team all-BIG EAST accolades and was named a BIG EAST Institutional Female Scholar-Athlete. Baseball posted a 27-30 record, led by all-BIG EAST shortstop Jedd Gyorko, who finished his career as the school’s career leader in batting average (.404), doubles (73), extra base-hits (113) and is tied for the school record in home runs (35). Gyorko was selected 59th overall in the second round by the San Diego Padres in Major League Baseball’s first-year player draft.
