Q: How have your first couple of weeks as a headcoach been?

A: “It’s been good. We’ve definitely had some chal-lenges, but good overall. I think the team is very ex-cited. We are going to build upon our results fromlast year, and we are looking forward to getting theseason started.”

Q: You’re in a position of almost uncharted territorybeing one of just a few female coaches that are coach-ing a men’s team. What challenges and advantagesdoes that present?

A: “I think it has unique challenges. There aren’t toomany female mentors to call and ask “hey how didyou get through this?” However, I’ve had the opportu-nity to become a two sport athlete during the sameseason for three years in college. With all that beingsaid, I think that what I’ve accomplished as an athletespeaks very highly of my ability to be the head coachat Georgia Tech of the women and the men. I believethat the men as well as the women respect what Ihave accomplished as an athlete and understand thatI know what it takes to be successful at this level. Mygoal is to help them succeed as students and athletes.”

Q: Having been an assistant coach here for a coupleyears how do you think that has helped you with fa-miliarity with the program and earning the respect ofyour student-athletes?

A: “I definitely think having been an assistant coachhere helped me get the head coaching position. Theadministration saw what I could do as an assistant.The athletes also responded well to me and haveshown me respect these past couple years. So far, it’sbeen a relatively smooth transition. Everybody hasbeen very supportive. I’m glad that I was here. I knewthe system. I knew all the support staff, so I think itmade it easier for me to become a head coach.”Q: With your experience as an Olympic athlete, how doyou think that has helped you get where you are todayas a coach and a person?

A: “On my Journey to the Olympics, there were defi-nitely ups and downs the whole way. It’s what you do

during the downs that help you become who youare. I was seven-tenths of a second from mak-ing the 1996 Olympic team, and I had a decisionto make of whether to continue or not. I decidedto push through and give it 110 percent andstayed after practice to work on starts and turns sothat I would make that team in 2000. Any ob-stacle I encountered, I tried to turn the negativeinto a positive and figure out how I could make itbetter.”

Q: Who’s been the biggest mentor to you as yougo along in your coaching career?

A: “I think it’s definitely been Jack Bauerle, thehead coach at Georgia. He was my college swimcoach, and he became like a second father to me.He guided me through a very important time inmy life and helped me to become the athlete andperson I am today.”

Q: You’re taking over a team that’s really had moresuccess in the last couple years than ever in the his-tory. What do you need to do to keep that train mov-ing and keep progressing forward?

A: “Fortunately, we have Gal Nevo for another year,and we are very excited about getting behind him andsupporting him. Our year end goal is to get more peo-ple to the NCAAs from both the men’s and women’steam. Also, we are trying to focus more on local re-cruiting. We have some great athletes here in Georgia,and a lot of them automatically go to the other schoolsbecause those schools have es-tablished themselves. Our aimis to establish ourselves here inAtlanta and become a programthat people want to be a part of,whether they are from Georgiaor from any other state.”Q: Where do you see this pro-gram in five years?

A: “I definitely think our men canbe top ten in the country if theycontinue to push, believe theycan do it, and we get the right

people in here. I think we have created a good staff.I’m very excited for my staff as we are all on the samepage. We all have the same philosophy, and we allknow what our goals are. I also think the women canbreak into the top twenty in the NCAA.”

Q: Speaking of the staff you have John Ames who’sbeen coaching the diving team for several years nowand Marty Hamburger has also been here with you forawhile. You brought in two new people (Chris DeSan-tis and Mark Toburen). You said you wanted coaches

who shared your same philosophy, but what were youlooking for when you began the hiring search?

A: “I’m a really big competitor, so I wanted people thatwanted to be competitors on the instructional side ofit to help our athletes get better. I know for me, breaststroke and IM events are not my strong suits. I was afreestyle, backstroke and flyer in college. I was look-ing for someone that could excel in my weaker areasand that is why we brought in Chris DeSantis.

“We already had a great sprint coach in Marty Ham-burger so he stayed on board and we are very fortu-nate for that. John Ames’s knowledge in the Divingarena adds depth to our staff. His experience reallysupports the goals that I have for the team.

“ I was also looking for a distance coach and Mark To-buren definitely fit that bill. In Mark and Chris, wehave found two people who are on board with ourphilosophy of wanting to be a top ten program in andout of the pool as well as strong competitors whowould be excited to scratch and claw our way to thetop.”

Q: Looking at this years schedule you have a lot ofhome meets compared to just a couple last season.With one of the best facilities in the nation, how doyou use that to your advantage both in schedulingand recruiting?

A: “We definitely have a very tough schedule thisyear. We’ve added a couple more SEC teams aswell as some of our big rivals in the ACC. A lot ofpeople want to come swim in this pool because alot of fast times occur in it. We talk to our athletesall the time about defending their turf. This is theirhome pool. They know the starts and they knowthe turns because they swim in it every day.

“As far as recruiting goes, we have one of only twoexisting Olympic pools in the country. We let recruitsknow that one of the fastest competitions in the

world took place in our pool.”

Q: With a couple of weeks of practice under yourbelt, who do you think has a chance to surprise somepeople this year?

A: “Gal Nevo is not going to surprise anyone, but he’salready working really hard. Kevin Morgan, who was-n’t on the ACC team last year, has been doing a reallynice job in work-outs. I think he was very disappointedlast season and is excited for this year. Taylor Flynn isanother one who has done a phenomenal job ofbeing a vocal leader in and out of the pool. I’m ex-cited to see everybody. Our freshmen are looking re-ally good and we can’t wait for the season to begin.”

Q: The ACC is a very tough conference and has beenvery top heavy. The men’s team has been knockingon the door over the last couple of years by finishingin fourth place. What do they need to do to get intothe top three and really establish their place in thisconference?

A: “The biggest thing is we need to do is to make surethat everyone is swimming multiple events. I think acouple of people have focused on maybe one or twoevents. The more events you have, the more you canscore. So I think if we have people focusing on multi-

ple events and relays, then we’ll be in the top three.”Q: What does the women’s team need to do to suc-ceed in the ACC Championships this year?

A: “After ACCs, the women had a meeting where theysaid “You know what? We train with the men everysingle day. We can be just as good.” They set up thatmeeting on their own and hashed out what theyneeded to do in the pool to improve. I believe thatmeeting was a turning point for the women’s team.“

Q&A With Diving CoachQ&A With Diving CoachJohn AmesJohn Ames

Q: You have a deep, but young diving team this sea-son. What are the goals for the year and do you lookto senior hannah Krimm to provide leadership for theyoung divers?

A: “On the women's side, we have Hannah [Krimm]and Michele [Bertolino] returning," said Ames. "Hannahwas the teams highest individual point scorer for thewomen last year and Michele scored on both the Onemeter and Three meter boards. The competition for thespots at NCAA's this year will be tough because thereare only eight spots available in the Southeast Zone forthe women.

"On the men's side we have two freshmen in ChrisKhosravi and Brandon Makinson joining sophomoreDavid Springfels," added Ames. "Both had to miss afew weeks at the beginning of the year to attendmeets. Chris was at the Jr. Pan Am games in Calgaryand Brandon was at the Canadian Summer Games,where he finished first on the 1 meter.

“The outlook for the men's team is much more favor-able than the past two years and even more so overthe next four. Entering Tech, Chris and Brandon are twoof the best we have had. Between their hard work andpersonality, what they bring to the team has alreadymade my job easier. Practices are very productive andfun, and with Hannah as a leader, it will be very com-petitive as well."

Two-time All-American Hannah Krimmwill lead a young diving squad.

In 2006-07, Hamburger helped Ryan Bishop to an All-ACC finish and an NCAA ‘B’ cut in the 400IM. He was also instrumental in guiding the group of Jason Bourgeois, Jacob Kwasnik and Mauri-cio Sousa to the school record in the 200 freestyle relay.

During his first season, Hamburger guided Bishop and Alex Williams to NCAA 'B' qualifying stan-dards.

Bishop clocked NCAA 'B' cut times in the 200 IM and 400 IM events for the Jackets. He also qual-ified for the championship finals of the200 IM, 400 IM and 200 breaststroke forTech at the ACC Championships.

Krimm wasalso recognized as a honorable mention All-Americanon the one-meter board, while then-senior StephanieEngland was a honorable mention All-American in the

three-meter and platform events. The Tech divers accounted for all 21 of the Jackets’ total pointsat the NCAA Championships helping them to a 30th-place finish -- it’s highest in program his-tory.

At the 2007-08 ACC Championships, Ames led Krimm to a second-place finish on the one-meterboard, while England was second in the platform and third in the three-meter. Krimm, Englandand then freshman Michele Bertolino all qualified for the NCAA Zone Championship, with Krimmand England moving on to NCAA’s in Columbus, Ohio.

Under Ames’ tutelage, Evan Stowers became the first Tech diver to qualify for the NCAA Cham-pionships in 2006. In the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center, Stowers again made history by finishingseventh on the men's platform, becoming the first Tech diver to garner All-America honors. In 2007,Stowers returned to the NCAA Championships, earning All-America honors for the second consec-utive season.

At the 2006 ACC Championships, Stowers became just the second GT diver, first under Ames,to win an ACC championship as he captured the men's three-meter springboard. He also becamethe first diver to earn All-ACC honors on both springboards Besides Stowers, Krimm and England,

two other Tech divers have garnered all-conference honors under Ames' guidance.Former men's diving standout Paul Mc-Carty (2001-04) earned All-ACC honors onthe one-meter springboard in 2002, whileformer diver Tony Burkhardt accomplishedthat same feat at the '05 ACC Champi-onships.

In 2005, the women's divingprogram took its first steps towards beinga force at the ACC Championships, as jun-ior Laurissa Prystaj and England both fi-naled on the three-meter board, makingit the highest scoring event for Tech inwomen's diving history. The duo of Eng-land and Krimm trumped that perform-ance when both Yellow Jacket diversqualified for the finals in all events. Theduo then took another step forward whenthey combined to garner All-ACC in everydiving event at the 2008 conferencechampionships, and followed that up withAll-American honors.

Along with his coaching dutiesat Tech, Ames also mentors the Atlanta Diving Association, which has quickly become the topUnited States Diving program in the state of Georgia. This season, his divers won three individ-ual National Championships, while one went on to qualify for Junior World Championships.

In his fourth year as Georgia Tech’s Director of Athletics,Dan Radakovich has brought a new vision for excellence tothe Yellow Jackets’ storied athletics tradition. In a relativelyshort amount of time since arriving in Atlanta, Radakovichhas put his mark on Georgia Tech’s athletics program.

The 2008-09 academic year at Georgia Tech wos one ofunprecedented athletic success.

One year after hiring Paul Johnson as headfootball coach, Georgia Tech suprised the experts by winning

nine games, tying for the ACC Coastal Division title and playing in a 12th consecutive bowl game.The Yellow Jackets, who beat 13th-ranked Georgia and two other ranked teams in November,played in the Chick-fil-A Bowl and were ranked 22nd in the final national polls.

The women’s basketball team registered its third straight 20-win season and earned an NCAATournament bid for the third consecutive year. The baseball team finished ranked in the top 25. Thesoftball team swept the ACC regular season and tournament titles.

The golf team captured the ACC championship and finished the season ranked seventh nation-ally. The men;s swimming and diving team enjoyed its best NCAA Championships finish ever (19th)and the women’s team broke 10 school records. The women’s tennis team finished ranked eighthnationally. In men’s track, Jerome Miller (high jump) and Steve Marcelle (shot put) turned in record-breaking performances en route to earning All-American honors.

Facilities received major upgrades in 2008-09. Shirley Clements Mewborn Field, the new homefor Tech’s softball program, was unveiled prior to the start of the 2009 season and was ultimatelyshowcased on ESPN when the Yellow Jackets hosted an NCAA Super Regional. The Zelnak Center, anew practice facility for Georgia Tech basketball, will be in place prior to the start of the 2009-10season. Bobby Dodd Stadium will receive several cosmetic upgrades, featuring a new video boardthat will be in place this fall.

The 2007-08 academic year featured the hiring of Johnson as head football coach, women’s bas-ketball emerging as one of the top programs in the South, baseball advancing to the NCAA Regionalsand women’s tennis advancing to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. Individually, Amanda Mc-Dowell won the NCAA singles title in women’s tennis.

The 2006-07 year was highlighted by Tech’s women’s tennis team capturing the Institute’s first-ever NCAA championship and its third straight Atlantic Coast Conference title. The football team wonthe ACC Coastal Division, the men’s basketball team earned its third NCAA Tournament bid in fouryears, the women’s basketball team posted its finest season with 21 wins and a berth in the NCAATournament, and the golf team won a share of the ACC title for the second straight year.

Outside the competition venues, Radakovich has directed an overhaul of the annual giving anddonation structure for Tech athletics, anchored by the new TECH Fund, which establishes minimumgiving levels tied to season tickets in various seating areas of Bobby Dodd Stadium and AlexanderMemorial Coliseum. Several facility upgrades have been completed, including the transformation ofTech’s former football locker room on the ground floor of the Edge Athletic Center into a new Tech-nology Center, which benefits academic support services for all Yellow Jacket student-athletes.

Radakovich also initiated the Athletic Director’s Initiative Fund, started in June, 2006, which hasrasied in cash and pledges more than $12 million. A recent gift from the Henry F. McCarnish, Jr.,family for the renovation of Alexander Memorial Coliseum, could be worth up to $15 million towardthat project.

The Atlantic Coast ConferenceThe Atlantic Coast ConferenceThe Tradition

Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any en-deavor.However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competitionhas become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtuallyimpossible to maintain a high level of consistency.

Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now,in its 57th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed thereputation as one of the strongest and most competitive inter-collegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere con-jecture, the numbers support it.

Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have cap-tured 113 national championships, including 60 in women’scompetition and 53 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titleshave gone to ACC student-athletes 209 times.

Men’s swimming and diving has been a league-sponsoredsport since the ACC’s berth in 1953, while women’s swimmingand diving saw its first season in 1979, but both programscontinue to bring new heights of success to the ACC each year.The 2008-09 season marked a campaign that saw the league’sswimmers and divers help distinguish ACC swimming and div-ing on a national level both academically and athletically.

In 2008-09, Duke’s Chip Peterson and North Carolina’sKatura Harvey exemplified the ACC’s reputation as an out-standing academic conference as both were third-team CollegeSports Information Directors of America/ESPN The Magazine Ac-ademic All-America selections, bringing the league’s total to 28.

Additionally, at the conclusion of the season, a total of 21new men’s records, including 18 ACC Championship meetrecords, had been set, and 18 new women’s marks, including20 ACC Championship meet times, had been rewritten into theACC’s record book.

A combined 14 teams – six men and eight women – sawaction at the NCAA Championship meet last season, with themen placing five ACC teams among the top-25 team finishesnationally and the women placing seven. The 2008-09 sea-son marked the fifth consecutive season that men’s programshave had five or more teams compete at the national meet,while the women’s eight teams tied a league-high for the sec-ond straight season.

As has been the case for the past several seasons, the ACCagain made its presence known on a national level with eightmen and nine women winning All-America honors. ReubenRoss was a three-time All-America in 2008-09 with a third-place showing in platform diving and seventh-place finishes inthe one- and three-meter diving events for 18th-place finish-ing Miami. Men’s ACC Champion Virginia posted a league-bestninth-place finish – regardless of gender – at the national meet,and had Matt McLean (third in the 500-meter freestyle, fifth inthe 800-meter freestyle relay) and Scott¬¬ Robison (fifth in the200-meter freestyle, fifth in the 800-meter freestyle relay) earnmultiple All-America honors, while Georgia Tech, which came inat 19th at the national meet, had Gal Nevo (fourth in the 200-meter individual medley, second in the 400-meter individualmedley) take two All-Americas.

Also on the national level for the women, the ACC was rep-resented by NC State’s Kristen Davies, who helped the Wolf-

pack to a 29th place finish with a platform diving champi-onship, the league’s second such title in as many years(Miami’s Brittany Viola captured the league’s first ever platformtitle in 2008). Additionally, two of nine women All-Americanswimmers garnered multiple All-Americas, with women’s ACCChampion Virginia’s (12th place) Mei Christensen (sixth in the400-meter freestyle relay, fifth in the 100-meter backstroke,sixth in the 200-meter backstroke) taking three and North Car-olina’s (20th place) Whitney Sprague (seventh in the 500-meterfreestyle, second in the 1,650-meter freestyle) taking two.

Overall, the men’s programs have seen 236 participantshonored as All-Americans, 16 national individual champions,and one national championship relay team in its 57 years. In30 years of existence, women’s programs have had 264 All-Americans and seven individual champions.

Beyond the collegiate level are numerous former ACC swim-mers and divers who have made an impact on the internationalstage.

A HistoryThe Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953,

at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven chartermembers - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, NorthCarolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest - drawing up theconference by-laws.

The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern Confer-ence came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during theSouthern Conference’s annual spring meeting. On June 14,1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C., where a set ofbylaws was adopted and the name became officially the At-lantic Coast Conference.

Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conferenceappeared in the region’s newspapers prior to the meeting inRaleigh. Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid South,Mid Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray,Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline.

Duke’s Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of theconference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motionwas passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with eachmember institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference ex-penses.

On December 4, 1953, conference officials met again atSedgefield and officially admitted the University of Virginia as

the league’s eighth member. The first, and only, withdrawal ofa school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971, when the Uni-versity of South Carolina tendered its resignation.The ACC oper-ated with seven members until April 3, 1978, when the GeorgiaInstitute of Technology was admitted. The Atlanta school hadwithdrawn from the Southeastern Conference in January of1964. The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991,with the addition of Florida State University.

The conference expanded to 11 members on July 1, 2004,with the addition of the University of Miami and Virginia Poly-technic Institute and State University. On October 17, 2003,Boston College accepted an invitation to become the league’s12th member starting July 1, 2005.

The home of the Yellow Jacket swimming anddiving program is the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center(GTAC), located on the west side of campus as thefoundation of the Campus Recreation Center (CRC).

The facility was the site of all swimming, divingand synchronized swimming competition as well asthe swimming portion of the modern pentathlonduring the Centennial Olympic Games in the sum-mer of 1996.

Along with hosting the '96 Olympics, the GTACplayed host to the 2005 and 2008 Men's andWomen's Atlantic Coast Conference Swimming andDiving Championships, and 2005 NCAA Zone Div-ing Championships.

The Jackets posted a third-place finish duringthe men’s ACC meet, marking the second highestfinish in program history, falling behind the second-place finish in 2001.

The Yellow Jackets served as the host of the2006 Men’s NCAA Swimming and Diving Champi-onships, March 23-25. The GTAC set a modern dayrecord for attendance, bringing in more than 10,000fans to watch the spectacle.

In front of the home crowd, Tech’s Evan Stowerstallied the highest diver finish in school history, tal-lying a seventh-place finish on the platform to gar-ner All-America honors.

The meet also witnessed five NCAA and U.S.Open records fall and three American records godown. Florida’s Ryan Lochte set two American andthree NCAA records en route to being named NCAASwimmer of the Year.

“It was a great opportunity for the city of Atlantato see how fast of a meet that is,” said head coachStu Wilson. “It was great for exposure for GeorgiaTech and was a tremendous way to showcase howfine of a facility we have. It no doubt will help withrecruiting and the more exposure Georgia Tech andour program gets, the more student-athletes willsee how great it is to train in such a state-of-the-art facility.”

The Jackets opened the newly-enclosed GTAC in2003-04, as they hosted NC State on Oct. 25, 2003.Tech went on to host 11 meets in the top-of-the-linefacility during the 2004-05 season, including theACC Championships and NCAA Zone Diving Cham-pionships.

In 2005-06, Tech welcomed 23 teams in theGTAC, before the men’s national championshipmeet.

The GTAA provides the Yellow Jackets with aworld-class venue for aquatic sports and serves asan important element of the physical legacy of theGames, enhancing the activities Georgia Tech can

offer its students for years to come.The 1,900-seat main stadium contains a com-

petition pool and dive pool.The competition pool is 50 meters by 10 lanes,

with two movable bulkheads so that courses canbe set up for 25 yards, 25 meters or 30 meters forwater polo. It also features a movable floor whichcan be set from zero depth to seven feet, eightinches.

The dive pool features one- and three-meterspringboards plus one-, three-, five-, seven-and-ahalf- and 10-meter platforms, as well as a Spargarsystem that sends a mass of bubbles from the bot-tom of the tank to ease entry into the water.

During the Olympic Games, the GTAC also in-cluded a temporary water polo pool with a seatingcapacity of 4,000. It was used for all competitionexcept the finals, which were held in the main pool.

The original $21 million facility was funded en-tirely by the Atlanta Committee for the OlympicGames (ACOG). Construction on the facility began inJuly 1994 and was completed in time to host theVIIth Synchronized Swimming World Cup in August1995. The newly-renovated enclosure of the GTAC ispart of an over $45 million expansion to the CRC.

Other test events held at the facility included theNations Bank Pan Pacific Swimming Championships,the IXth Diving World Cup and the IXth Water PoloWorld Cup.

Georgia Tech continues to reap the benefits ofa world-class aquatic facility for use by the Ram-bling Wreck swimming and diving program as wellas the student body. Tech held its first meet in theaquatic center on Oct. 5, 1995, hosting Emory.

“The Georgia Tech Aquatic Center is a beautifulfacility, which I think is one of the best in the coun-try,” said Wilson. “It gives our athletes an opportu-nity to train in an Olympic pool on a regular basisand state-of-the-art equipment.

“Swimmers have their own lockers, team room,computer lab and entertainment center where theycan watch their swims from previous swim meets orjust relax.

“Our athletes have all the resources needed tobe successful, in and out of the classroom here atGeorgia Tech.”

HistoryHistoryEARLY YEARS

Georgia Tech first fielded a swim team in 1918-19, when thefirst tryout was held at the city Y.M.C.A. and about 60 men cameout. According to the Blueprint, the fledgling squad featured“some of the fastest water splashers that the South has everturned out and one that would make any Eastern college hus-tle to beat.” The team was captained by G.R. Fraser, describedas the best swimmer in the South and holder of the Southernrecord in both the 220-yard swim and the 50-yard swim.

Tech’s first swim meet was on the road against the Clem-son Tigers. In addition to Fraser, the first Tech team includedWeiss, Scott, Carson, Evans and Owens, who returned with a 50to 19 victory. Fraser swam the 220 yards in 2:50.00, cutting fourseconds off his own Southern record.

The program enjoyed success against Southern competitionthroughout the 1920s. In 1927, Tech defeated all Southern op-position and made a good showing against two strong east-ern teams. The Jackets broke into prominence by forcing thefamous Brooklyn Y team to the limit, but fell 46 to 16. Twodays later, Yale handed the Jackets the short end of a 46 to 16score.

In 2003-04, the Yellow Jackets gave birth to a brand newrenovated Georgia Tech Aquatic Center. Tech opened the en-closed Olympic pool by hosting NC State on Oct. 25, 2003.
