■ Choosing to become a Mountaineer is special. Without a professional sports team in the state, folks across the state and throughout the region love West Virginia athletics.

■ No school helps its student-athletes more than the people at WVU. West Virginia is a place where the natives are as rock solid as the mountains for which the state is known.

■ Mountaineers have the unique opportunity to represent themselves, their teammates and their university to news media, alumni, friends, family and the general public. Your interaction with these groups is also part of your educational process.

■ If you take advantage of these opportunities, it can have a positive effect, not only on your career as a student-athlete at West Virginia, but also on your life after you have donned the Old Gold and Blue.

■ The WVU swimming and diving teams recognize that it’s important to win in the pool, but the squad also realizes it’s equally important to win over the community by giving back in every possible aspect.

■ Not only have the Mountaineers helped Morgantown become a better place through various humanitarian efforts, but the teams make the extra stride to travel outside of the immediate area to lend a hand.

■ The team also regularly donates its 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.

■ The WVU men’s team has been partnering with Habitat for Humanity to help rebuild houses throughout the past year.

■ Mountaineer coaches and swimmers 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.

■ West Virginia University offers a variety of services and programs to help student-athletes maximize their academic potential. Department staff members work with coaches, on campus student service providers and faculty to help student-athletes meet the unique demands of the classroom, the sporting arena and the personal-social challenges they face as developing adults.

■ While many of the headlines center on the Mountaineers’ accomplishments on the playing field, West Virginia athletes have also made some noteworthy strides in the classroom. Some of those strides include a string of 10 consecutive years where the department has had at least one first team Academic All-American.

■ To help its student athletes achieve academic success, one of the nation’s finest facilities resides in the WVU Coliseum – The Athletic Academic Performance Center. The 8,000-square foot facility provides individual and group study areas, a plethora of computer stations and the latest in fingerprint technology used when signing in.

■ In 2013-14, the Mountaineers success in the classroom didn’t go unnoticed. The program has historically placed a focus on academic success. The men and women’s squads were each named College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Scholar All-American teams.

The Mountaineers are provided with an academic adviser who devotes their time to ensuring student-athletes are provided with any assistance necessary to ensure academic success.

Vic Riggs HEAD COACH | EIGHTH SEASON

In his eighth season at West Virginia, Vic Riggs has helped the WVU swimming and diving teams climb to a nationally acclaimed status, and with an academic support system de-signed around the swimming and

diving program, Riggs has built a team that is also recognized nationally for academic success.

Last Season In 2013-14, Riggs oversaw perhaps the greatest individual student-ath-

lete performance in a single season in program history. Senior Bryce Bohman became just the second men’s swimmer in WVU history to earn First Team All-America honors at the 2014 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships. Bohman set three individual school records (100 back, 200 back, 100 fly), was named the Big 12 Male Swimmer of the Year and earned CSCAA Scholar All-America honors.

Riggs coached the men to a 23rd overall finish at the 2014 NCAA Swim-ming & Diving Championships in Austin, Texas. He helped Tim Squires earn Big 12 Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet honors and coached nine student-athletes to CSCAA Individual Scholar All-America recognitions.

His endless devotion to academic success was evident as the women’s team posted the highest team GPA in the Big 12 Conference. The men’s and women’s squads together garnered CSCAA Scholar All-America distinctions.

2007-13 West Virginia had an incredibly successful inaugural season in the Big

12 Conference in 2012-13. Not only did the women produce their first First Team All-American, but nine school records were broken and a plethora of academic awards were attained.The women’s team finished second and the men’s team finished third.

Burnett earned the Big 12’s Most Outstanding Swimmer award, winning the 200 free, 500 free and 1650 free. Nugent added a win in the 200 fly during the championships. The men’s squad took first in the 400 medley relay and second in the 200 medley relay, while Christopher Brill took sec-ond in the 200 breast and third in the 100 breast. Ross Glegg added a pair of third-place finishes in the 100 free and 200 free.

Riggs had his most successful season as a head coach in 2011-12, leading the women and men to third- and fourth-place finishes, respective-ly, at the Big East Championships. For his efforts, he was named the Big East Women’s Swimming Coach of the Year. The team placed 15 members on the all-conference squad with Burnett and Nugent leading the way with seven top-three finishes, while Taylor Camp had three for the men. Burnett was named the Big East Women’s Most Outstanding Swimmer.

Four different women earned a total of seven All-America Honorable Mention honors at the NCAA Championships as the team placed 26th. Burnett, Nugent, Kata Fodor and Danielle Smith finished 16th in the 800 free relay. Burnett earned the honor twice more, finishing 14th in the 500 free and 11th in the 1650 free, while Nugent took ninth in the 200 fly.

Riggs also sent eight swimmers to the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials in Oma-ha, Nebraska, the most ever from WVU. The Mountaineers were represent-ed in 15 different events during the Trials.

In total, 10 school records, three pool records and five Big East records were broken, with Burnett leading the way behind four individual and two relay.

Senior LeadersVeteran leaders are present for both the men and women in 2014-15.

The two sides combine for a total of 13 seniors this year. For the men, seniors Tim Squires and Chris Brill are prepped for their final go around in the Old Gold and Blue, having competed at the NCAA Championships last season. The women are led by seniors Haily VandePoel and Julie Ogden. VandePoel, a 2014 Capital One Academic All-District First Team honoree, holds the school record in the 3-meter (346.43), while Ogden is a defend-ing All-Big 12 First Team member in the 200 fly.

Defending Big 12 Coach of MeetEntering his eighth season as head coach of the Mountaineers, Riggs

has helped the WVU swimming and diving teams climb to a nationally ac-claimed status. For his efforts in guiding multiple student-athletes to Big 12 distinctions last season, Riggs was named the Big 12 Conference Men’s Swimming Coach of the Meet.

Riggs’ endless devotion to academic success has been evident as the women’s team posted the highest team GPA in the Big 12 Conference last season. The men’s and women’s squad together garnered CSCAA Scholar All-America distinctions. Riggs and the Mountaineers look to continue their success both in the pool and in the classroom this season.

Freshmen Frenzy Twenty rookie swimmers and divers fill the roster in the 2014-15, looking

to make their impacts felt in their first season in Morgantown. A total of 13 freshman are on the men’s team alone. The four rookies from Colorado are the most from any state, with freshman Joe Miller, a Parkersburg, West Vir-ginia native, serving as the only in-state newcomer. The women welcomed two international rookies with freshman Amelia Currat hailing from Dunker-que, France, and freshman Celia Martinez coming from Madrid, Spain.

2014-15 Swimming Preview

The 2014-15 WVU swimming and diving teams are primed

for their third season in the Big 12 Conference and their eighth

year under the direction of head coach Vic Riggs. Last season

saw the men record a 23rd overall finish at the 2014 NCAA

Swimming & Diving Championships and a third-place result

in the Big 12 Conference, while the women finished fifth at the

Big 12 Championships. The men’s squad returns 16 members

from last year’s team and welcomes 13 newcomers. The women

return 18 student-athletes while bringing in eight newcomers.

2013-14 Swimming Review

Most Outstanding Swimmer

Junior Tim Squires had quite the performance at the 2014 Big 12 Championships. The Buckhan-non, West Virginia, native finished first overall in the 100 free, setting a new school record with a time of 42.92. Squires also set a school record in the 50 free at the con-ference meet with a time of 19.45. He then broke the record a second time in the final’s session and earned a first-place finish with a time of 19.32. His efforts in Austin earned him the Big 12 Champion-ship Men’s Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet award.

Continued Academic SuccessIn 2013-14, the Mountaineers success in the classroom

didn’t go unnoticed. The program has historically placed a focus on academic success. The men and women’s squads were each named College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Scholar All-American teams.

Nine Mountaineers earned CSCAA Individual Scholar All-America recognitions. Bryce Bohman and Tim Squires earned Scholar All-America First Team distinctions, having achieved a cumulative, or term grade point average of 3.5 or high-er. Liam McLaughlin from the men’s squad, as well as Eva Burlingham, Julie Ogden,Jennifer Rey, Lindsay Schmidt, Haily VandePoel and Jenelle Zee from the women’s squad all received Honorable Mention All-America recognition.

Diving at NCAA ZonesMultiple members of the diving team competed at the NCAA

Zone “A” Diving Championships last season. Junior Haily Van-dePoel placed eighth overall in the 3-meter (545.85), marking the second straight year she placed in the top eight at the event. Other notable women finishes in the 3-meter included sopho-more Lindsay Schmidt in 21st (237.30), junior Jennifer Rey in 29th (221.30) and sophomore Tori Taffner in 39th (203.50).

Banner Year for BohmanSenior Bryce Bohman became just the second men’s swimmer in WVU history to earn

First Team All-America honors at the 2014 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships. He took fifth place in the 100 back (45.30) and 200 back (1:39.83). His 100 back prelim time of 45.29 set a school record, while he also set the school record with his finals time in the 200 back. Bohman, also a First Team All-American by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America, finished his career at WVU with three individual school records (100 back, 200 back, 100 fly) and four relay records.

At the 2014 Big 12 Championships, Bohman won the 100 back, while finishing third in the 200 back and 100 fly. He also was on the 200 free relay team that broke a school record and had an NCAA “A” cut time. For his efforts throughout the season, Bohman was named the Big 12 Men’s Swimmer of the Year.

Gee has been a member of several education-governance organiza-tions and committees, including the Big Ten Conference Council of Presidents, the Inter-University Council of Ohio, the Business-Higher Education Forum, and the American Association of Universities. He was chair of the American Council on Education’s Commission on Higher Education Attainment and served as co-chair of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities’ Energy Advisory Committee. In

Active in a number of national professional and service organizations during his tenures, he has served on the boards for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Inc., Limited Brands and the National 4-H Council. In 2011, Gee was appointed to serve as secretary on the Board of Directors of Ohio’s economic development program, JobsOhio. In 2011-2012, he was asked by Governor John Kasich to chair the Ohio Higher Education Capital Funding Collaborative and the Ohio Higher Education Funding Commission.

Gee has received a number of honorary degrees, awards, fellowships and recognitions. He is a fellow of the prestigious American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest science organi-zation. In 1994, Gee received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the University of Utah, as well as from Teachers College of Columbia University.

As Director of Athletics at West Virginia University, Oliver Luck has worked endlessly and traveled the world to enhance the Mountain-eers’ role as a major player in collegiate athletics.

In four years on the job, Luck’s accomplishments have been nothing short of spectacular. In the past year alone, he successfully guided the start of construction on a new $21 million baseball park, which will open in 2015 and provide the Mountaineers with one of the best facilities in the Big 12.

Add in his tireless efforts to secure a $75 million bond, start a $25 million fundraising effort and proceed with a $6 million new football team room and Luck’s efforts will show $106 million in facility improvements in the coming years to bring WVU’s aging facilities into the modern times.

His work on the national level is equally impressive and equally valuable to West Virginia University. He was named in 2013 to a three-year term on the inaugural College Football Playoff committee, which will change the face of the college football national championship. He serves on the NFL Player Safety Advisory Committee, chairs the Big 12 Budget and Fi-nance Committee, serves on the board of American Campus Community, Inc., and in May, 2014, was one of the featured speakers at the White House at the Healthy Kids and Safe Sports Concussion Summit through his work with the organization Practice Like Pros.

Among athletic directors, Luck is also one of the most popular speakers on the national circuit. Countless seminars and conventions feature him on panels and discussion groups to tap into his knowledge of the corpo-rate and collegiate world.

Before 2014, his previous three years at WVU were equally impressive and busy. He has hired new coaches to bolster WVU’s level of success. He guided the completion of major capital projects such as the $25 mil-lion WVU basketball practice facility for men’s and women’s basketball and the women’s soccer training complex.

He led WVU into the Big 12 Conference, presided over the best fundrais-ing year in school history (2012), implemented several safety and crowd enhancements at Mountaineer sporting events, increased overall depart-ment revenue, continued a master plan for facility upgrades and watched his football program gain its third BCS bowl victory.

In 2013, Luck oversaw the reseating of the WVU Coliseum to further in-crease WVU’s fundraising efforts. He added an 18th varsity sport - men’s golf, which will tee it up in 2015 for the first time since 1982. He out-sourced WVU’s media rights to secure a 12-year guaranteed annual reve-nue source of at least $6 million per year from IMG. However, through all his accomplishments in four years in Morgantown, it all has occurred while he has fostered an atmosphere for achievement and triumph in the classroom and on the field.

Luck, was appointed the University’s 11th Director of Athletics on June 9, 2010 and he was no stranger to success. In fact, 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 National Football League’s Houston Oilers, and later as a professional sports executive.

After retiring from football, Luck became vice president of business development for the NFL 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 to-taled more than 10 years with the NFL, 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.

In 2005, Luck was appointed as the first president of Major League Soc-cer’s Houston Dynamos, helping that organization to a pair of MLS Cup titles in his first two years at the helm. Luck secured the funding for an $80 million soccer complex to house the Dynamos when the call came to return to his alma mater. BBVA Compass Stadium was built and opened in 2012 adding to Luck’s legacy with the professional soccer team, and the overall Houston sports facility complexes. He returned to Houston in May, 2012 for the opening ceremony of the soccer stadium that he fought so hard for.

Prior to his current position at WVU, Luck was appointed to a four-year term on the West Virginia University Board of Governors, a spot he relin-quished to become director of athletics.

The Rhodes Scholar finalist graduated Phi Beta Kappa from WVU in 1982. He also earned a law degree from Texas, graduating cum laude in 1987. In 1997, Luck was inducted into the West Virginia University Sports Hall of Fame, and in 2000, 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, a former All-American quarterback and two-time Heisman Trophy finalist at Stanford and No. 1 overall pick of the 2012 NFL draft by the Indianapolis Colts; Mary Ellen, a standout volleyball player and graduate of Stanford; Emily, a current student at Stanford and Addison, who attends Morgantown High.
