Coaching Staff Peter Linn- Head Coach Buck Smith- Diving Coach Tracy Martin- Associate Head Coach

Head Coach Peter Linn The 2018-19 season marks head coach Peter Linn’s 31st year as a head coach at Eastern Michigan University.

Linn assumed control of the men’s program prior to the 1988-89 season, while adding the responsibilities of the women’s program for the 200405 campaign. This will be his 15th year as the head coach of the Eagles women’s swim and dive team.

Since taking over, Eastern Michigan has captured a combined 296 individual MAC Championships (254 men, 42 women) in Linn’s tenure.

During that time, Eastern Michigan posted a 204-63 dual meet record (.764 winning percentage) and a dominate 119-7 mark against MAC opponents (.944 winning percentage). For more than 19 seasons, the Eagles did not lose a MAC dual meet as the streak grew to as many as 72 before it was snapped during the 201617 campaign.

Fu r t h e r m o r e , EMU currently holds the league all-time record in 10 of the MAC’s 22 regular season events and 11 of the MAC Championship records. Overall, he was named MAC Women’s Swimming Coach of the Year two times, while coaching four MAC Women’s Swimmers/Divers of the Year and four women’s NCAA All-Americans.

Linn was the recipient of the 2018 National Collegiate and Scholastic Trophy from the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA). The trophy is the highest honor from the organization and is presented annually to an individual or organization, which in the estimation of the recipient’s peers, has contributed in an outstanding way to swimming as a competitive sport and healthful recreational activity.

The 2017-18 season followed suit of what has become expected from Linn, with both the men’s and women’s teams placing second overall in the Mid-American Conference. Showing steady improvement each year, the women marked their fourth straight season with no more than one loss on their overall record, and sent Delaney Duncan to the NCAA Championships for the third season in a row.

Linn took over for the women’s swim team at Eastern Michigan in the 2004-05 season after spending 16 seasons as the men’s head coach.

Linn has led the Eagles to a 96-38-1 mark and a 58-23 conference tally in 14 seasons. He was selected 2006 MAC Women’s Coach of the Year when he led EMU to the program’s first swimming title in 2005-06. A year later saw the Eagles capture the 2006-07 conference

championship with a 6-1 conference mark. In doing so, he became the only coach to win both men’s and women’s team championships in the same year.

The third-longest tenured head coach in EMU history behind former track & field coach Bob Parks (33 years) and women’s gymnastics’ Steve Wilce (32 years), Linn has nurtured the careers of dozens of coaches.

Linn’s history with Eastern started much earlier, however, as a swimmer helping the Eagles to a pair of NAIA team titles in 1970 and 1971 and the 1972 NCAA Division II Championship.

Linn returned to EMU in 1988 after leading Upper Arlington (Ohio) High School to three consecutive state championships, along with six straight district titles, while developing 32 individual district champions and eight individual state champions. He was also president of the Ohio High School Swimming Coaches Association in 1987-88. He was named Coach of the Year in the Ohio prep ranks in 1985, 1986, and 1987.

Prior to taking over at Upper Arlington, Linn coached at Shaker Heights (Ohio) High School from 1976-82 where he led the swimmers to their first league championship in 20 years. He was named Northeast Ohio Coach of the Year in 1981 and 1982. In 2002, Linn was elected to the Ohio High School Swimming Coaches Hall of Fame.

Linn attended Eastern Michigan University from 1969-74 and received a bachelor’s of science degree with a double major in mathematics and biology. He was inducted into the E-Club Athletic Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2006.

Eastern Michigan 2018-19 Swimming and Diving Coaching Staff Head Diving Coach - 19th Season

Loren “Buck” Smith is entering his 19th year in 2018-19 as the head diving coach for Eastern Michigan University.

During his tenure at Eastern Michigan University, Smith has qualified nine female divers and seven male divers to the NCAA Championships, while producing three NCAA All-American’s including Kelly Hendricks who placed third on 3-meter at the 2013 NCAA Championships. Smith’s divers have placed in the top eight at the Mid-American Conference Championships 188 times, won 22 MAC Championship titles, hold three MAC Championship records, as well as claiming five school records.

He has also been named MAC Diving Coach of the Year 20 times between the men’s and women’s diving teams.

Named 2017-18 Men’s and Women’s Mid-American Conference Diving Coach of the Year, Smith saw his legacy of excellence continue with five Eastern divers reaching the NCAA Zone Championships (one female, four male). In his award winning 18th season, Smith saw record setting success for the Eagles divers. For the first time in five seasons, the Eagles women’s divers had a representative at the NCAA Championships, Alli Shereda. Shereda’s 35th place finish in Columbus was the best for Eastern divers since Kelly Hendrick’s 2013 third place finish. In addition to this success, for the first time in his career, Smith had a Mid-American Conference freshman diver of the year in Mikela Schempf.

In 2006, Smith’s divers played a vital role in the EMU women’s first-ever MAC Championship title. The Eagles placed five of the top seven divers on the one-meter board and claimed four of the top six places from the three-meter.

Prior to Eastern Michigan, Smith was the coach at Oakland University during the 1999-2000 season where he coached the Mid-Continent Conference Diver of the Year and qualified three divers for the Division I Zone meet.

Smith was also the head diving coach for Junior Elite Legacy Diving. In the 18-year history of Legacy Diving, Smith has had 268 national qualifiers, 140 junior national finalists, 17 national champions, 10 silver medalists and 12 bronze medalists. He has also had a Junior World Finalist and coached his team to six Junior Olympic Regional titles, as well as three Junior Zone Championship titles. At the senior national level, Smith has had 45 Senior National qualifiers, 28 finalists, 3 silver medalists, and 2 national champions. In 2012, four former and current Legacy divers qualified for Olympic Trials. Buck was also the head coach and team leader for the USA Diving National team who competed at the Grand Prix in Rostock, Germany in 2012.

Tracy Martin

Associate Head Coach- Second Season Tracy Martin enters her ninth year as a part of the women’s swimming coaching staff. The 2018-19 season marks her second year as associate head coach of the program, promoted after spending seven seasons as the program’s assistant head coach.

During the 2008-09 season, Martin also served as assistant coach with the University of Rochester (New York) men’s and women’s swim programs. She also acted as an assistant with the Dublin Jerome High School & New Albany Aquatics Club in Ohio in 2005-06.

Before her coaching career, Martin was a member of both the University of Michigan women’s swimming and diving and outdoor track and field programs.

Martin graduated from Michigan in 2005 with a B.A. in sport management and communications and later earned an M.A. in sport administration from Wayne State in 2008.

Eastern Michigan Swim (2016-Present)

The only swimmer in Eastern Michigan History to qualify for the NCAA championships three times, Delaney Duncan has earned All-American accolades four times, twice in 2018 in both the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke and honorable mentions in 2015 and 2017 for the 100-yard breaststroke. Duncan holds the Eagles’ all-time best performances in the 200 IM and 100 and 200-yard breaststroke, and is the three-time back-to-back-to-back 100-yard breaststroke MAC individual champion. She was the first ever freshman Eastern Michigan swimmer to qualify for the NCAA Championships, and with another year left in her time at Eastern, Duncan is on the path to become Eastern’s most successful swimmer, already racking up laurels such as three-time First-Team All-MAC team, Academic All-MAC in 2017 and 2018 and holder of the MAC record for 100-yard breaststroke.

Kelly Hendricks (2009-13)

Kelly Hendricks is the one of only two Eastern Michigan diving All-American award winners, earning the title after an Eagles’ best NCAA finish in history, a third-place finish on the 3-meter at the 2012-13 NCAA Championships. Hendricks also holds an honorable-mention All-American nod in the same year for her 11th place finish on the 1-meter dive. In her time in Ypsilanti, Kelly qualified for the NCAA Zone C championships all four years of her collegiate career, as well as qualifying for the NCAA championships two times. Hendricks was named to the First-Team All-MAC in 2012 after placing first on the 1-meter dive at the MAC Championships, and followed in her senior season with Second Team All-MAC accolades, falling short of winning the 1 and 3-meter dives to her teammate, Danielle Hulvey.

Dive All-Americans Madeleine Pilchard (2004-08)

In her four year career at Eastern Michigan University, Pilchard marked the first nod for NCAA All-American in Eagles history, earning honorable All-American awards in both the 100 and 200 yard freestyle (200708 season). Named MAC Swimmer of the year three years in a row (2006-2008), Pilchard is one of Eastern’s most decorated MAC swimmers, earning 10 MAC individual titles in her successful career. Pilchard was a main force in the Eagles’ 2005-2006 MAC Championship finish, the first for the school in women’s swimming, and is the only women’s Eastern Swimmer to have both a MAC Championship win (20052006, 2006-2007) and All-American nod in their career. Pilchard still holds the Eastern record for her times in the 100 and 200 yard freestyle, as well as thirdbest Eagles’ times in the 50 and 500 yard freestyle.

Danielle Hulvey (2009-14)

The 2013 and 2014 MAC Diver of the year, Danielle Hulvey earned All-American honorable mention at the 2013 NCAA Championships with her 16th place finish on the 3-meter dive. Hulvey is the most decorated diver in Eastern history, earning three individual MAC championships, First Team All-MAC honors in 2013 and 2014, Senior MAC Diver of the Year in 2014, Academic All-MAC first team in 2013 and 2014, and a CSCAA Scholar All-American honorable mention in her senior season.

Mid-American Conference Providing leadership in education and diversity, in 2018 the Mid-American Conference moves into its 73rd year of service to our students.

Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conference’s in the country. One of only 10 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in March of 2009.

The league hosts championships in 23 sports, including neutral site events at some of the finest facilities in the nation – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basketball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (Sprenger Stadium, Avon, Ohio). The MAC secured a two-year contract extension with Ford Field to host the MAC Football Championship Game through the 2021 football season, anchored a six-year contract extension for the MAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments at Quicken Loans Arena through the 2023 season, and stabilized a fiveyear contract extension through the 2020 season for the MAC Baseball Tournament at Sprenger Stadium in Avon, Ohio.

In addition to growing its commitment to MAC championships, Steinbrecher has been aggressive in pursuing NCAA Championship events. The MAC served as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland as well as the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, which set NCAA Wrestling three-day Championship total attendance and single-session attendance records. The MAC will also be hosting the 2020 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament First and Second Rounds, also at Quicken Loans Arena. The MAC has previously hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships and will also host the 2019 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships under Steinbrecher’s direction.

In the summer of 2014, the MAC and ESPN announced a historic 13-year rights extension deal through the 2026-27 season for expanded national television and digital distribution.

This is the largest and most extensive agreement in the history of the Conference and brings long-term security for the MAC through the 2026-27 academic year.

ESPN has exclusive television and digital distribution rights for all MAC sporting events, and guarantees coverage of every football game, men’s and women’s basketball games and select Olympic sporting events. The MAC and ESPN have established on-campus production capabilities that provide a significant increase in the national coverage of baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, wrestling and Olympic sports on ESPN platforms.

This has opened up nearly 92 million households from ESPN platforms for exposure to MAC sports for the first time in Conference history. Through this ESPN partnership, the MAC and CBS Sports Network announced another four-year sublicensing agreement to expand its national coverage of football and basketball through the 2022-23 season.

For the second time in Mid-American Conference history a member institution played in one of the prestigious New Year’s Six Bowl Games, as 2016 MAC Champion Western Michigan faced Wisconsin in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Jan. 2, 2017 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The MAC finished the season ranked eighth in RPI with five teams ranked in the Top 100 (Central Michigan 15th, Buffalo 20th, Ball State 57th, Miami 83rd, Toledo 84th). Ball State, Miami and Toledo each earned bids to the WNIT, with Ball State and Toledo reaching the second round of the tournament.

Founded in 1849, when the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course.

The school’s name changed several times –­ to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status.

Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times, adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975, and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently ,Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs and numerous community-focused institutes.

The university has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Education Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Village residence hall (2001), University House (2003), new Student Center (2006), and the new Science Complex (2010).

TIMELINE March 28, 1849: State Legislature passed Act No. 138 entitled “An Act to Establish a State Normal School.”

Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a FrenchCanadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff.

It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate community a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually merged.

Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 workers.

The EMU Identity

GREEN, WHITE AND YELLOW? The EMU Eagles’ colors are green and white, but the track and cross country teams both feature yellow on their uniforms. There is a reason these teams stand out, and the history behind it goes back to 1967. EMU Hall of Fame Head Coach Bob Parks offered some insight to the story behind how the yellow came about.

“When I got to EMU in January 1967, the team was wearing dark green singlets and dark green shorts. In that season, we ran a meet at Western Michigan University, and the finish line was beneath the balcony which was very dark. In the hurdle final, there were six men, three from Michigan State and three from EMU. MSU’s uniforms were almost identical to ours. When the finish positions were announced, we got the short end of the stick. You could hardly see the runners under the dark balcony area, and they got the finish wrong. At that point, I decided to get uniforms that showed up better.

“Back then, Kansas was a big name in collegiate track, and they wore pink shorts and powder blue singlets with pink lettering. Everyone thought they were great. I decided to copy them and ordered orange shorts and green singlets with white lettering trimmed in orange. We wore them for about four years, but the Regents decided that all of our teams should be wearing green and white. When they made us get rid of the orange and green, I ordered green and gold, colors I had always liked.

At first, they weren’t going to let us use them, but I pointed out that our football team was wearing green and gold. Our administration could hardly argue with me, since our gridders were wearing it too. “ “We have worn it ever since, and it is known from coast to coast, as our men have done traditionally well nationally. It also differentiates us from MSU and Ohio University’s color schemes. The green and gold does show up well at the finish line, but nowadays they use computer cameras, so it is less of a problem as it was in the 60s and 70s.”

EMU OLYMPIANS THROUGH THE YEARS EMU has had a track representative at the summer Olympic Games since Hayes Jones in 1960. The Eagles have had 17 representatives in 52 years, 14 men and three women.

NOT ALWAYS THE EAGLES Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname“Eagles.”

The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one.

EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites” and “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles down through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929.

The “Hurons” first came into being as the result of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929.

On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee, composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest.

The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner. Hanner was working at the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe. The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers.

EMU began investigating the appropriateness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them.

The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Indian logos or names.

The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets and Express.
