MCAULEY AQUATIC CENTER INFORMATION The home of the Yellow Jacket swimming and diving program is the McAuley Aquatic Center, formerly the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center (GTAC), located on the west side of campus as the foundation of the Campus Recreation Center (CRC). The facility was the site of all swimming, diving and synchronized swimming competition as well as the swimming portion of the modern pentathlon during the Centennial Olympic Games in the summer of 1996. In March 2016, the McAuley Aquatic Center topped the list of “The 10 Best Collegiate Competition Swimming Pools” by College Ranker.

INFORMATION

MCAULEY AQUATIC CENTER

Along with hosting the ‘96 Olympics, the GTAC played host to the 2005 Men’s and Women’s Atlantic Coast Conference Swimming and Diving Championships, the 2005 NCAA Zone Diving Championships, the 2006 NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships, and most recently both the 2016 NCAA Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships. Other test events held at the facility included the Nations Bank Pan Pacific Swimming Championships, the IXth Diving World Cup and the IXth Water Polo World Cup. The McAuley Aquatic Center provides the Yellow Jackets with a worldclass venue for aquatic sports and serves as an important element of the physical legacy of the Games, enhancing the activities Georgia Tech can offer its students for years to come. The 1,900-seat main stadium contains a competition pool and dive pool. The competition pool is 50 meters by 10 lanes, with two movable bulkheads so that courses can be set up for 25 yards, 25 meters or 30 meters for water polo. It also features a movable floor which can be set from zero depth to seven feet, eight inches. The dive pool features one- and three-meter springboards plus one-, three-, five-, seven-and-a half- and 10-meter platforms, as well as a Spargar system that sends a mass of bubbles from the bottom of the tank to ease entry into the water. The original $21 million facility was funded entirely by the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG). Construction on the facility began in July 1994 and was completed in time to host the VIIth Synchronized Swimming World Cup in August 1995. The newlyrenovated enclosure of the GTAC is part of an over $45 million expansion to the CRC.

---> In July 2016, the U.S. Olympic Swimming Team practiced at the McAuley Aquatic Center before heading to Rio for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Michael Phelps (pictured left) and Ryan Lochte were among the U.S. Olympians who fine-tuned their skills prior to heading to Brazil for competition in August. 8

HEAD COACH COURTNEY SHEALY HART COURTNEY SHEALY HART HEAD COACH

COACHES & STAFF

GEORGIA, 2001 EIGHTH SEASON AS HEAD COACH AT GEORGIA TECH (10TH SEASON OVERALL AT GEORGIA TECH)

Courtney Shealy Hart enters her eighth season at the helm of the Georgia Tech swimming & diving program in 2016-17. An assistant coach for two years on The Flats, Hart was named the head coach of the Yellow Jackets on April 30, 2009, becoming the eighth head coach in the history of the swimming & diving program. Thanks in part to deep recruiting classes and the development of talent, Hart has steadily built Georgia Tech into a program that can compete in the nationally recognized Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). In the summer of 2013, Hart was inducted in to the Georgia Aquatic Hall of Fame, signifying both her achievements as a collegiate All-American and National Swimmer of the Year at the University of Georgia and as a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist. Hart, who has served on the NCAA Swimming & Diving Committee since 2012, has presided over a fantastic stretch for the Tech program that has seen multiple men’s swimmers compete in four straight NCAA Championships. Over the last four seasons, a total of 14 program records have been established in both swimming and diving. In 2015-16, Hart also served as the host head coach for the 2016 NCAA Men’s and Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships which came to Georgia Tech and the McAuley Aquatic Center in March 2016. The success has extended beyond the pool as the Yellow Jackets have annually been one of the nation’s top academic swimming & diving programs. The men’s swimming & diving team has earned APR Public Recognition Awards from the NCAA in 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15, while both the men’s and women’s programs annually earn CSCAA Academic honors. In 2015-16, the Yellow Jackets rewrote the record books on both the men’s and women’s sides of competition. The women’s team set records in the 50 back, 100 back, 100 breast, 200 free, 200 IM, 200 medley relay, 400 medley relay and the 800 free relay en route to an 11th-place finish at the ACC Championships and dual meet wins over Liberty, Cincinnati, Florida Atlantic and Emory. The men’s team topped its previous year’s championship performance with a fifth-place team finish at the 2016 ACC Championships, highlighted by a gold medal in the platform dive by Brad Homza. A total of four Jackets in Youssef Hammoud, Brad Homza, Alex Kimpel and Moises Loschi competed at the 2016 NCAA Men’s Swimming & Diving Championships. Homza earned All-America Honorable Mention honors with his 11th-place finish in the 1-meter dive and posted a 14th-place finish in the platform diving event. A total of 16 Jackets were recognized as CSCAA Scholar All-Americans in 2015-16, while three swimmers in Andrew Chetcuti, Nico van Duijn and Darelle Cowley were all recipients of the Weaver-James-Corrigan Award, a postgraduate scholarship awarded to a select number of student-athletes who intend to pursue a graduate degree following the completion of their undergraduate requirements. Hart’s sixth season in 2014-15 was a banner year as the men’s team capped a record-breaking regular season with a sixth-place finish at the ACC Championship. Led by senior All-American Andrew Kosic, the men spent time in the Top-25 polls and finished with an ACC-best 10 dual-meet victories (10-4), including wins over Florida State, Pitt, Duke, South Carolina and Navy. 40

The women were 8-8 in the dual-meet season, highlighted by victories over conference foes Florida State, Miami and Notre Dame. Kosic, the 2015 ACC silver medalist in the 100 free and the bronze medalist in the 50 free, garnered repeat All-America honors at the NCAA Championships with his fifth-place showing in the 50 free and 12th-place finish in the 100 free. He was an individual NCAA qualifier, along with divers Homza and Shannon Lumbra, and four men’s relay teams. In 2013-14, Hart’s fifth season on The Flats, the Jackets totaled seven new school records and saw Kosic and van Duijn qualify for the NCAA Championships along with a pair of men’s relays. Tech’s men finished seventh at the ACC Championships, while the women recorded a 10th-place finish. Kosic went on to receive All-America honors with his 15th-place finish in the 50 free. Tech swimmers accumulated 20 NCAA “B” cuts, and the men’s 200 free relay achieved an NCAA “A” cut during the ACC Championships in 2013-14. Four divers qualified for the NCAA Zone “B” Diving Championships, including Brandon Makinson, who shattered the school’s 3-meter record during the season and was named the ACC’s Diver of the Week three times. Hart’s fourth season at Tech in 2012-13 was highlighted by Eric Chiu clinching an individual spot in the NCAA Championships in the 100 fly, and opening the door for the Yellow Jackets to send four men’s relays to the NCAA meet. Chiu, the ACC bronze medalist and the school record-holder in the 100 fly, and the relays marked Tech’s first men’s swimmers to compete in the NCAA Championship event since 2010. Hart’s third year at the helm was capped off by freshman Andrew Chetcuti competing in the London Olympic Games for his home country of Malta, while a program record 11 swimmers achieved cuts to compete at the United States Swimming Olympic Team Trials. In 2011-12, both the men’s and women’s programs improved on their ACC Championships finishes from the previous season, while the women picked up impressive conference victories during the dual meet season against both Clemson and Miami. In all, the Yellow Jackets set two men’s and six women’s records overall and had a pair earn All-ACC honors in sophomore Anton Lagerqvist and junior Brandon Makinson in 2011-12. Lagerqvist became the first Tech male to win the ACC title in the 200 breast, while Makinson claimed silver on the 1-meter springboard. On the women’s side, senior Keren Siebner’s fifth-place finish in the 100 fly was the best for a Tech women’s swimmer at the ACC Championships since a bronze medal by Agatha Kwasnik in the 100 free in 2008. In year two, Hart helped bring the ACC Championships back to the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center while breaking eight school records in the process. Alongside Diving Coach John Ames, Hart helped coach Brandon Makinson to the NCAA Championships where he participated in both the 1 and 3-meter dives. The Jackets also faced off against some of the toughest competition in the country as Hart scheduled six ranked teams and four teams receiving votes into Atlanta for the Georgia Tech Invitational as well as some dual meets with SEC powers Florida and Georgia, and perennial ACC powerhouse in Florida State.

COACHES & STAFF

Hart’s first year as the head of the swimming & diving program in 2009-10, saw her lead the men’s team to a fifth-place performance and the women’s team to a ninth-place showing at the ACC Championships. The men’s meet was highlighted by three first-place finishes by Gal Nevo -- a three-time Olympian for Israel -- while the women broke four school records. Nevo’s success continued into the NCAA Championships where Hart helped the senior achieve All-American status in each of his races, which included a runner-up finish in the 400 IM for the second straight season and a school record time in the 200 fly in his final race as a Yellow Jacket. In two seasons as an assistant coach, Hart worked primarily with the middle distance free and stroke group and also served as recruiting coordinator. The Georgia Tech swimming programs enjoyed unprecedented success in the two years Hart served on staff, as she worked with multiple NCAA participants. In 2007-08, the women’s team finished 30th at the NCAA Championships for the best finish in program history. In 2008-09, the men’s squad turned in its best NCAA effort with a 19thplace finish. Nevo was an All-American in both the 200 IM and 400 IM as well as being named the ACC Swimmer of the Year. His mark in the 400 IM was the second-fastest in NCAA history and third-fastest in the world. Nigel Plummer was named the ACC Freshman of the Year. It was the first-time a Georgia Tech swimmer had earned either the swimmer or the freshman of the year award in school history. All told, 24 school records were broken during the 2008-09 season and a school record nine men’s swimmers participated in the NCAA Championships. Hart spent one season (2006-07) as an assistant coach at North Florida prior to arriving on The Flats.

COACHES & STAFF

OHIO, 1993 16TH SEASON AT GEORGIA TECH

John Ames, who has become a staple of the Georgia Tech program, enters his 16th year as the diving coach for the Yellow Jackets’ swimming & diving program in 2016-17. Under Ames’ guidance, Tech divers continue to excel at the national level while rewriting the program record books. Last season in 2015-16, junior Brad Homza qualified for the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships for the second straight season where he earned All-America Honorable Mention honors with his 11th-place finish in the 1-meter dive and a 14thplace finish in the platform diving event. Homza also earned a gold medal for his firstplace finish in the platform at the 2016 ACC Men’s Swimming & Diving Championships, the lone ACC All-Conference performer for the Jackets on the year. Homza, who also set school records in the 1-meter and platform diving events on the season, joined fellow Tech divers Matt Casillas (1-meter, 3 meter, platform), Omar Eteiba (1-meter), Nolan Mallet (1-meter, 3-meter, platform), Andrea Demick (1-meter) and Kayla Williams (1-meter, 3 meter) with new personal best marks on the season. Eteiba, Mallet and Demick were all recognized as 2016 CSCAA Scholar All-American honorable mentions, while Homza earned CSCAA Scholar All-American accolades on the season. In 2014-15, junior Shannon Lumbra and Homza each qualified for the NCAA National Championships to mark the first time in school history that divers were in both the men’s and women’s championships in the same year. Homza became Tech’s first male diver since Brandon Makinson in 2012 to earn a national spot, while Lumbra became the Jackets’ first female diver since 2008 to qualify. Homza won nine events during his sophomore season after an impressive rookie campaign in 2013-14 that saw him break the school’s platform record. Lumbra claimed the program’s 1-meter springboard record that same season. In 2012-13, Tech divers won a total of 10 events. Senior Brandon Makinson capped his remarkable career by crushing the school record on the 3-meter board with a score of 422.55 points in winning the event versus rival Georgia. The week prior, he also set a 3-meter record with a score of 408.85. Makinson was named the ACC Diver of the Week three times during the 2012-13 season. He, along with fellow senior Chris Khosravi and female divers Lumbra and Ashley Hardy, each qualified for the NCAA Zone “B” Diving Championships. In his 11th season, Georgia Tech divers set both the men’s and women’s 1-meter school records, while Makinson, a junior, was a repeat All-ACC honoree. Makinson scored a school-record 375.25 points in earning the ACC silver medal on the 1-meter board, after earning All-ACC honors on the 3-meter board in 2011. For the women, Helen Alvey scored a school-record 310.42 points on the 1-meter board in a dual meet versus rival Georgia. Led by 10 individual wins from Makinson, the Yellow Jacket divers won 19 times in the 2011-12 season. Ames guided four divers to the NCAA Zone “B” Diving Championships in 2011-12, while incoming freshman diver Shannon Lumbra competed at the United States Olympic Trials and Makinson competed in the Canadian Olympic Trials. The 2010-11 season saw the fall of all three men’s diving school records, each toppling at the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center. Makinson broke the 1-meter (360.35) and 3-meter (408.10) diving records, while Khosravi took down the platform (375.90) diving record at the ACC Championships. For his efforts, Makinson earned All-ACC honors in the 3-meter dive. Ames also helped coach four of his five divers to the NCAA Zone “B” Diving Championships where Makinson took eighth-place overall to earn a spot at the NCAA Championships. The 2009-10 season included the career conclusion of the swimming and diving team’s most decorated female athlete, Hannah Krimm. Krimm’s distinctions consist of NCAA All-America honors on the 3-meter springboard, NCAA 1-meter Honorable 42

Mention All-America, All-ACC Honors on the 1-meter, and was a four-time CSCAA Academic All-America honoree. Krimm made the finals in six of eight springboard events at the ACC Championships during her career, and was the highest individual point scorer for the women’s program in each of her last two seasons at Tech. The 2009-10 season was a very successful rebuilding year for the men’s divers. The freshmen duo of Makinson and Khosravi finished the dual meet season as the fourth and fifth individual point leaders for the men’s swimming and diving program. The duo duplicated that effort at the ACC Championships, with the highlight being Khosravi’s fourth-place finish in the platform event. In 2008, Ames coached Tech’s first female diving All-American as then-sophomore Krimm finished seventh on the 3-meter springboard. Krimm was also recognized as an honorable mention All-American on the 1-meter board, while Stephanie England was an honorable mention All-American in both the 3-meter and platform events. The Tech divers accounted for all 21 of the Jackets’ total points at the NCAA Championships helping them to a 30th-place finish -- its highest in program history. At the 2007-08 ACC Championships, Ames led Krimm to a second-place finish on the 1-meter board, while England placed second in the platform and third in the 3-meter. Krimm, England and freshman Michele Bertolino all qualified for the NCAA Zone “B” Championships, with Krimm and England moving on to the NCAA Championships in Columbus, Ohio. Under Ames’ tutelage, Evan Stowers became the first Tech diver to qualify for the NCAA Championships in 2006. At the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center, Stowers again made history by finishing seventh 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 consecutive season. At the 2006 ACC Championships, Stowers became just the second diver, first under Ames, to win an ACC championship as he captured the men’s 3-meter springboard. He also became the first diver to earn All-ACC honors on both springboards. Besides Stowers, Krimm and England, two other Tech divers garnered all-conference honors under Ames’ guidance. Former men’s diving standout Paul McCarty (2001-04) earned All-ACC honors on the 1-meter springboard in 2002, while former diver Tony Burkhardt accomplished that same feat at the 2005 ACC Championships. In 2005, the women’s diving program took its first steps towards being a force at the ACC Championships, as junior Laurissa Prystaj and England both reached the finals on the 3-meter board, making it the highest scoring event for Tech in women’s diving history. The duo of England and Krimm trumped that performance when both Yellow Jacket divers qualified for the finals in all events. The duo then took another step forward when they combined to garner All-ACC honors in every diving event at the 2008 conference championship meet and followed that up with All-American honors. Along with his coaching duties at Tech, Ames also mentors the Atlanta Diving Association, which has quickly become the top United States Diving program in the state of Georgia. Hired in August 2001, Ames came to Tech from George Washington University and the Montgomery Dive Club, one of the largest diving programs in the nation. Prior to his stint with Montgomery and George Washington, Ames served as an assistant coach with the Northern Virginia Dive Club. He also worked as a graduate assistant and diving coach at Western Illinois University. Ames graduated from Ohio University in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology after completing his collegiate diving career with the Bobcats. He earned a Master of Science degree in sport administration while at Western Illinois.

ADMINISTRATION

G.P. “Bud” Peterson was appointed as the 11th president of Georgia Tech on April 1, 2009. Prior to his appointment, he served as chancellor at the University of Colorado at Boulder (20062009), provost at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York (2000-2006), and program director at the National Science Foundation for the Thermal Transport and Thermal Processing Program (1993-1994). He has held various positions at Texas A&M University, beginning in 1981 as an assistant professor of engineering technology and Halliburton Professor of Mechanical Engineering (1990), the College of Engineering’s Tenneco Professor, head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering (1993-1996), executive associate dean of engineering (1996-2000), and associate vice chancellor for engineering for the Texas A&M University System (1996-2000). Prior to his service at Texas A&M, he was a visiting research scientist at NASA-Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas (1981-1982), associate professor and head of the General Engineering Technology Department at Kansas Technical Institute in Salina, Kan. (1979-1981), and taught mathematics, physics and chemistry at Shawnee Mission South High School in Overland Park, Kan. (1978-1979), and Wabaunsee County High School in Alma, Kan. (1977-1978). Throughout his career, Peterson has played an active role in helping to establish the national education and research agendas, serving on numerous industry, government, and academic task forces and committees. He has served as a member of a number of congressional task forces, research councils, and advisory boards, including the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Research Council (NRC), and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). In addition, he has served as a member of the Board of Directors and vice president for education for the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and is currently serving as a member of the National Science Board (NSB), co-chair of the Government Relations Committee of the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), as a member of the U.S. Council on Competitiveness, and was recently appointed by Secretary Gary Locke as a member of the National Advisory Council on Innovation and Entrepreneurship (NACIE). As chancellor of the University of Colorado, Peterson led the development of a new university wide strategic plan, Flagship 2030, which defined a vision for the university for the next 20 years. In his nearly three years as chancellor, freshman applications increased by 35 percent, the number of under-represented minorities in the freshmen class increased by 38 percent, sponsored research increased by more than 18 percent, and private philanthropy for the university increased by nearly 80 percent. As provost at Rensselaer, he played a key role in the institutional transformation and the dramatic improvement in the quality, size, and diversity of the faculty – overseeing the hiring of nearly 40 percent of the faculty, increasing the total number of tenured and tenure-track faculty by 20 percent, and improving the diversity of the tenured/tenure-track faculty by more than doubling the number of under-represented minorities and increasing the number of women by 40 percent. In addition, during his tenure as provost, the quality, size, and diversity of the student body increased, with the number of full-time PhD students increasing by 25%. Peterson’s research interests have focused on the fundamental aspects of phase change heat transfer, including the heat transfer in reduced gravity environments, boiling from enhanced surfaces, and some of the earliest work in the area of flow and phase change heat transfer in microchannels. Early investigations focused on applications involving the thermal control of manned and unmanned spacecraft and progressed through applications of phase change heat transfer to the thermal control of electronic components and devices. More recently, investigations have included fundamental applications of phase change heat transfer to the field of biotechnology, including the insitu treatment of cancerous tissue using hypo and hyperthermia to arrest epileptic seizures through the rapid cooling of localized brain tissue, which required highly efficient heat dissipation devices capable of dissipating thermal energy to surrounding tissue. A Fellow of both the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Peterson is the author or co-author of 14 books or book chapters, 180 refereed journal articles, more than 150 conference publications, and holds eight patents with two others pending. He is a member of several professional organizations and the recipient of numerous national and international honors and awards for both teaching and research.

ADMINISTRATION PAUL GRIFFIN INTERIM DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

ADMINISTRATION

MARYLAND, 1963

Paul Griffin, formerly the director of athletics at Arkansas State University, the University of South Florida and Jacksonville University, is serving his second stint as an interim athletic director at Georgia Tech, having been named to the post in August following the departure of Mike Bobinski. Griffin, 68, spent 12 years as senior associate director of athletics at Georgia Tech from 2001-13 before curtailing his activities and retiring from active service. He served his first stint as acting director of athletics preceding the arrival of Bobinski in April of 2013. Early in 2011, Griffin’s duties changed to focus on the numerous athletic facilities construction projects. He served as the Georgia Tech Athletic Association contact and liaison with construction companies erecting the Yellow Jackets’ new indoor football practice facility (the John and Mary Brock Football Practice Facility), Tech’s basketball arena (McCamish Pavilion, which opened in 2012-13) and tennis facility )Ken Byers Tennis Complex, opened in 2013) as well as other projects for baseball and volleyball. Griffin also spearheaded Georgia Tech’s hosting of NCAA postseason events – a 2012 NCAA men’s basketball regional, the 2012 NCAA gymnastics championships, the 2013 NCAA men’s golf championship and the 2013 men’s basketball Final Four. Before taking on his those duties, Griffin was responsible for the Athletic Association operational aspects of football and men’s basketball, as well as sports medicine, player performance, facilities and game operations. Previously a member of the Tech staff as special consultant to the Director of Athletics from July-December, 2001, Griffin assisted with Tech’s efforts in hosting the 2002 and 2007 NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four. Griffin spent 15 years as Director of Athletics at South Florida (1986-2001), where he was instrumental in the university’s charter membership in Conference USA. He was also responsible for developing the plan which initiated South Florida’s football program in NCAA Division I-AA and then readied the program for its move to Division I-A in 2001. Honored as the 1999 Southeast Region Athletics Director of the Year for Division I-AA/I-AAA by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, Griffin represented Conference USA on the NCAA Championships Cabinet. He was subsequently appointed to the subcommittee for football certification, which certifies bowl games and preseason events. Prior to South Florida, Griffin served five years (1981-86) as director of athletics at Jacksonville (Fla.) University. He spent nine years (1972-81) at Roanoke College, including the last four years (1977-81) as director of athletics. He also served as the lacrosse coach throughout his nine-year tenure at Roanoke. Griffin earned a bachelor’s degree in education from the University of Maryland in 1969 and added a master’s degree in education from Long Island University (C.W. Post Center) in 1973. A native of Baldwin, N.Y., Griffin and wife, Maureen, have one son, Michael.

PROGRAM HISTORY THE EARLY YEARS Georgia Tech first fielded a swim team in 1918-19, when the first tryout was held at the city Y.M.C.A and about 50 men came out. According to the Blueprint, the fledgling squad featured “some of the fastest water splashers that the South has ever turned out and one that would make any Eastern college hustle to beat.” The team was captained by G.R. Fraser, described as the best swimmer in the South and holder of the Southern record in both the 220 yard swim and the 50 yard swim. Tech’s first swim meet was on the road against the Clemson Tigers. In addition to Fraser, the first Tech team included Weiss, Scott, Carson, Evans and Owns, who returned with a 50 -19 victory. Fraser swam the 220 yards in the 2:50.00, cutting four seconds off his own Southern record. The program enjoyed success against Southern competition throughout the 1920s. In 1927, Tech defeated all Southern opposition and made a good showing against two strong eastern teams. The Jackets broke into prominence by forcing the famous Brooklyn Y team to the limit, but fell 46-16. Two days later, Yale handed the Jackets the short end of a 46-16 score.

EARLY CHAMPIONS The Yellow Jacket ‘tankmen’, despite the lack of an on-campus facility, won 10 straight unofficial South championships from 1926-35. In 1927, Dave Young tied the national intercollegiate record in the 150 yard backstroke in 1:43.20. Representing Tech in the national intercollegiate, Young set a new record of 1:46.10 seconds and in the finals established a new record of 1:44.00, finishing four seconds ahead of Spindle of Michigan to win Tech’s only national championship in swimming. He also earned AllAmerican honors with a second-place finish in the 220 yard free style.

KENNETH THRASH, SR.

BRAD LEHMAN

1932-35

1989-91

After playing football at Tech, Kenneth Thrash, Sr., took over the swimming reigns and led the Jackets to four straight Southern Conference Championships from 1932-35. Almost as impressive as five consecutive conference titles, Thrash only tasted defeat once in dual meets, finishing with an astounding record of 24-1. His winning percentage of 0.960 is the best all-time in school history. As a former football player for Georgia Tech (192628), Thrash helped the Yellow Jackets win two conference titles (1927-28) and a national championship in 1928.

The swimming program resumed under Brad Legman in 1988-89. In Lehman’s first year, senior Tim Halligan earned AllAtlantic Coast Conference honors following his second-place finish in the 200 butterfly. Halligan qualified for the NCAA Championships in the event, finishing 21st. Legman coached the team for three seasons, amassing an overall record of 19-13.

BILL HUMBER 1992-97

FRED LANOUE 1936-64 Fred Lanoue, a graduate of Springfield College and former New England diving champion, began working with the Tech swimmers in 1936 and became the Yellow Jackets’ full time head coach in 1938 when the Tech pool was completed. Under Lanoue’s guidance, Tech won four Southeastern Conference championships in nine years, the first in 1942 and then three in a row in 1948, 1949 and 1950. Lanoue coached the Jackets for 27 years, stepping down after the 1964 season.

HERB McAULEY 1965-87

SETH BARON 1998-2005 In August 1997, Tech hired Seth Baron to take the helm of the men’s swimming and diving program. The Jackets’ women’s program debuted in 2001-02, and Baron took on the combined program. Baron, formerly an assistant coach at South Carolina and Auburn, also previously worked with the U.S. National Swim Team and was the head coach for the U.S. squad at the 1997 and 2001 World Maccabiah Games in Tel Aviv, Israel. Under Baron’s direction, the Tech men finished in the top five at the ACC Championships in five consecutive seasons, including a third-place finish in his final season as head coach in 2005. Tech finished 32nd at the 2005 NCAA Championships, cracking the Top 35 for the fifth straight year. In just four seasons of existence, the women’s program tallied a 33rd-place finish at the 2004 NCAA Championships and crowned its first All-American in Vesna Stojanovska. The Jackets posted three consecutive sixthplace finishes at the ACC meet, tallying a program-best 285.6 points in 2008-09. The Jackets also qualified two swimmers for the 2005 NCAA Championships for the first time in program history; Stojanovska and freshman

RECORDS & HISTORY

The star of the 1942 SEC championship squad was Herb McAuley, who won the SEC 220 and 440 freestyle championships that year. McAuley had his schooling interrupted by World War II, serving in the Army Signal Corps before graduating from Tech with a degree in electrical engineering in 1947. Upon graduation, he joined the Yellow Jacket staff as assistant coach under Lanoue, a position he held for 17 years. McAuley succeeded Lanoue as head coach for the 1965 season. He coached the Jackets for 23 seasons, compiling a record of 169-144-1. He was inducted into the Georgia Tech Hall of Fame in 1982. Tech competed in its first ACC Championships meet in 1980. The program took a one-year hiatus upon McAuley’s retirement in 1987, which signaled the end of a 40-year stint on the Tech coaching staff.

Bill Humber took over the Tech program in 1991-92. In 1993, he guided the Jackets to their then-best showing at the ACC Championships with the sixth-place finish and a then school-record point total of 198. In 1994, diver Brandon Lumm won the first ACC Championship in the program’s history with his victory in the 3-meter event. He earned All-ACC recognition that year and Bill Humber tallied a dual meet record of 38-45 during his six-year tenure at Georgia Tech.

In his first season as head coach in 2005-06, Wilson led the Jackets to their fourth straight top-five finish in the ACC, tallying a fourth-place finish at the 2006 ACC Championships, in College Park, MD. Tech boasted one ACC champion and Morgan garnered all-conference honors in the mile for the second straight season. Wilson helped the Yellow Jacket men to four consecutive top-35 finishes at the NCAA Championships, posting a 33rd-place finish at the 2006 Men’s NCAA Championships, hosted by Georgia Tech. Tech sent four swimmers to the 2005 NCAA Championships, the second most in school history, and five of the second All-American honors earned by Yellow Jackets have came during Wilson’s tenure. Former Tech standout Shilo Ayalon and Morgan both garnered All-American honors under Wilson’s tutelage.

In this position, he planned and implemented strength and

conditioning programs for swimmers age 12-and-over. He also handled administrative duties, including fundraising, travel arrangements, public relations and record-keeping. He worked as a head age group coach with Swim Atlanta from 1990-98. Wilson coached several successful swimmers at Swim Atlanta, including 2004 U.S. Olympian Amanda Weir, who set national age-group records (11-12 and 13-14) in the 50 free. Additionally, he mentored swimmers that posted more than 50 national top-16 age-group performances. As an athlete, Wilson competed at the University of Georgia from 1984-88, reaching the finals of the SEC Championships in the 200 and 500 free in each of his last three seasons. He was an NCAA qualified in the 400 free relay and held the school record in the 200 free at one time. Wilson also qualified for U.S. Nationals in his final six seasons of competitive swimming.
