It was the program s best finish since a fifth place showing in Romain Maire became a four-time NCAA qualifier last season, as he was the lone representative of Boilermaker swimming at the 2008 NCAA Championships. He posted times of 1:46.27 in the 200 IM, 3:48.85 in the 400 IM and 1:43.62 in the 200 back to meet NCAA provisional qualifying standards in each event.

Speedo Smarts Ross has been able to establish a program known for its academic excellence. He encourages a balance between school, swimming and social activities in all his swimmers lives. Because of that balance, Ross has produced four CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in Brian Daly (1993), Dean Fredette (1994), Matt Brown (1997) and Louis Paul (2005) and several more honorable mention selections since his start at Purdue. In the spring of 2006, Giordan Pogioli was named to a second-consecutive CoSIDA Academic All-America all-district team. Ross also has mentored over a dozen CSCAA Academic All-America and honorable mention selections, as well as 89 Academic All-Big Ten athletes and five Big Ten Medal of Honor winners in Daly (1992), Brown (1997) Kovacs (1999), Paul (2005) and Pogioli (2006). At the start of the school year, Ross team and six other Boilermaker intercollegiate programs were presented with the school s third-annual 25/75 award. Men s swimming and diving was honored because it finished among the national top 25 during the athletic year while maintaining a cumulative grade-point average that met or exceeded expectations over four consecutive semesters, thereby supporting Purdue s goal of reaching a 75 percent graduation rate. Ross program has received this award three years in a row, along with women s basketball DAN ROSS and women s golf. Of the 37 student-athletes on the roster, 27 either made the Purdue Coach s Honor Roll or Athletics Director s Honor Roll. Coach s Honor Roll recognizes those Boilermakers with a semester GPA between 3.0 and 3.49; the AD s Honor Roll is made of student-athletes with semester GPA s of 3.5 or higher. Bleeding Gold and Black Ross involvement with Purdue swimming and diving began in 1977, when he walked on to the swim team. He competed in the individual medley and middle distance freestyle events. In 1980, Ross received the Most Improved Swimmer Award and was named team cocaptain in After graduating, Ross continued at Purdue in a quarter-time position during the season and then served as a half-time assistant coach the next year. He was given the full-time assistant position from 1983 to 1985, and in 1985 he landed the head coaching position.

14 SEASON PREVIEW Q&A Season Preview w/ Coach Ross What makes this, your 24th season as head coach of Purdue swimming and diving, different from your first 23 years? The way I would characterize it is that we ve gone through a lot of growing pains, especially when the facility opened in We have the right diving coach now. He s got his people in here with a great couple of recruiting classes. Every year he s brought somebody in. Last year we had someone who got 3rd in NCAA. This year we re bringing in an Olympian, David Boudia. So everything is really, really solid with diving right now. On our side, Jay Agnew is in his second year at Purdue. He s one of the great young coaches in the Midwest. I actually approached him about coming to Purdue a few years ago. When Bill (Weaver) decided to go back to school, Jay decided to come over. He s got some pretty good Purdue connections, too, so we got the right guy. He now has a year under his belt to evaluate my strengths and weaknesses and go from there. What about your student-athletes? What makes this year s team unique? Getting guys like Kyle House and Ben Wachtel this past year is huge. They are a couple of really talented freshman, guys that are way ahead of where some of the other guys were that we recruited in the past. Then you have a captain like John Schmitt. Usually we don t have just a single captain, but this year it just became apparent that this was who everybody wanted as a captain. He has the potential, and has so far, been possibly the best captain we ever had as far as leadership and organization. Leadership isn t something you teach somebody. It s something they grow into when they have the respect from their teammates. So now we are starting a year where I feel we re as good as any of the other years that I ve been at Purdue, especially in terms of the health of our team, the attitude and talent level. With that being said, last year we had one of the best dual meet teams we ve ever had. We ended up 12th at the end of the season in the NCAA dual meet poll. We had a couple of set backs in the Big Tens. Andrew Langenfeld came down with appendicitis. John Schmitt became ill at the meet and did not swim very well. We were not good enough to have our two best guys go out and then have someone else go in. We just were not at that level. This year, though, I m not sure. I think we have a pretty good dual meet team and I believe our conference championship team is going to be the best we ve ever had. We ve got several guys that should have a chance to make the NCAAs and then go there to reach our goals. What are some of the goals the program is trying to accomplish in ? We re trying to go from top-5 perennially in the conference, to top-3. We want to have a chance to win a conference championship. At the same time, we want to reach the top-15 perennially and have a chance to get 13th, 12th, etc. Once you do that, you have a chance to reach the top 10 in the NCAAs. You would have put yourself in the position to be one of the best teams in the country. So that s where we want to go and it s taking a long time. We re trying to create an atmosphere here of being able to achieve the highest level. We had some professionals last year. We ve got some Olympians now. We want everybody to see that you can come here and get developed into one of those elite athletes and that s what we re trying to do. I think you do it through leadership. I think its talent balanced across the board from our freshmen to our seniors. I think now the classes are more condensed, in that the seniors and the freshmen get along. We re in really healthy spirits. I believe our coaching staff has some continuity. J. is in his second year. Adam has been here several years. The three of us are on the same page. There s just a great energy level here, unlike any other year before it. You ve spoken a lot about the leadership on this year s squad. What makes your seniors so special? First of all, I think they all care. They all care about Purdue. They care about Purdue as opposed to just about themselves. It s all about, How can I contribute to the team? It s a very unique group of talent and personalities. The first thing I told John when he was asking me what we needed to do this year was that, You have to take care of your house first. This is your senior class. If you guys preach it, walk it, live it, than the rest of the team will do it. If you don t have your seniors there and you don t have your captains there, you don t have leadership. No matter what you re doing. When you don t have them there, it s tough. So right now we are light years ahead as far as attitude. They re not necessarily our most talented class. There are some of the most talented guys in there, but everyone has a purpose. They have a sense of urgency. They care about the team, and I believe that has trickled down into everyone else. Not even a trickle down, more like a cascading down. Beyond the seniors, who else do you look towards as major contributors this season? Sam Wilcher is a junior and he was in the prelims of the 200 fly last year at Big Tens. I think mentally he s matured to the point where it s time to earn this. He competed in the Olympic trials this summer, which I think was a good thing for him. Aaron Koger is another one. I think our junior class is really, really talented. We ve got a very, very talented junior class, and it s time for them to realize their potential. We have a very small sophomore class with guys like Matt Stewart, and Drew Wolfred. Then there s our freshman class. Ben Wachtel might be one of the best freshman recruits we ve had. Kyle House may be one of the most talented, but he s just not there yet. Then we ve got Daniel Jung and some other guys that are highly skilled. I really think how far we go in the conference will probably have to do with how far each class matures, or reaches what they are capable of doing. It s always hard for freshmen to come in and do their absolute best. What is nice is we already have some kids that have performed at a high level at junior national meets, or state championship meets, or senior nationals. They should be prepared for a Big Ten meet B O I L E R M A K E R S W I M M I N G & D I V I N G I N F O R M A T I O N G U I D E

As good as we are, I would say we re an upper-division team. Hosting the Big Ten Championships this year will hopefully get us another place or two. I think being at home really helps you in diving, as well. Our guys are obviously comfortable being here and not having to travel. That is a tricky time of the year anyway. So we were fifth last year, but we want to do better than that. Our goal is to be in the top 3. People may say, Why don t you have a goal of being first? Well, we know you have to get into the top 3 first. This is fairly public knowledge, but we have said to our team the last two years, You know guys, there has never been a Purdue team that has been in the top 3 in the Big Ten meets in swimming since 1919, which is the first time we had a conference meet. We re one of the oldest sports in the Big Ten. We ve got a lot of championships in a row. However, I want to do something that s never been done before and that is where we are trying to get. Once you get there, then we feel we have the chance to win the conference. We think Michigan is going to be number one still, but they have a brand new coaching staff so you have no clue. Indiana will probably drop a little bit because they had a huge senior class last year. I think Minnesota and Ohio State are going to duke it out for second and third, and hopefully we ll be in that battle. Of course you cannot forget about Northwestern, Penn State, and Wisconsin. However, we believe we have a chance with our diving points and if we can get our relays there. We haven t had our relays there for years. Because the Big Tens is a relay meet, you ve got to get your relays there. If we can get our relays, two or three individuals and two or three divers there, then we have a legitimate chance of being top 13 nationally. That puts us in the 25/75 club and really in a pretty unique situation. If we could be a top-13 team and a top-3 team in the Big Ten, and with our GPA, then we will be one of what we consider one of the better programs in the country, especially for a northern school. And then we ll go from there. So right now, we ve got to find a way to get up in that top 3. We ve been fifth. We ve been in the top 25 nationally. We re already doing that. Now the hardest part is how do we get to that next level. Fri.-Sat. Jan at Minnesota/ 7 p.m./ Minneapolis, Minn. vs. Wisconsin 1 p.m. Sat. Feb. 7 Indiana Noon West Lafayette Thur.-Sat.

They finally got it. It took them a while, but they finally got it. What I see right now is the majority of the seniors doing it right now from the very first day, and that s the difference on this year s team B O I L E R M A K E R S W I M M I N G & D I V I N G I N F O R M A T I O N G U I D E 15

Last season alone, four of his student-athletes advanced to the 2008 NCAA Championships with a pair of freshmen walking away with All-America honors. David Colturi scored a on 1-meter and a on platform and Kara Cook tallied points on platform to give the duo the national accolades. Colturi won the Region C Zone title on platform and placed third on 1-meter to advance to the NCAA Championships. He placed second on 3-meter at the Big Ten Championships with a score of and finished third on 1-meter after racking up points. Colturi finished his season as the freshman record holder in all three diving events and the program record holder in the 3-meter and on platform. Cook clinched her spot at the NCAA Championships by placing second on the platform at the NCAA Region C Zones. She also won the platform title at the Big Ten Championships with a score of points. Her score of on the platform at the NCAA Championships placed her third all-time in program history. Ashley Karnes and Katie Berg were the other two divers to advance to the NCAA Championships. Karnes won both the 1-meter and 3-meter springboard titles at the Region C Zones. She finished as the runnerup on 1-meter at the Big Ten Championships and was third on 3-meter. Karnes won 15 events last season, including nine consecutive springboard competitions. She was named Big Ten Diver of the Week on three occasions. Berg placed third on the platform at Region C Zones to clinch her spot at the NCAA Championships. She was also a finalist on both the 1-meter and platform at the Big Ten Championships. The Purdue varsity record books have almost been completely rewritten under Soldati. For the men, 25 of the top 30 scores (top 10 scores across all three events) have been accumulated with Soldati at the helm, including the entire top 10 on platform. On the women s side, 16 of the top 30 scores have come under Soldati. Last year alone, 14 male and female divers entered the record books. Colturi broke program records on the 3-meter (423.15) and platform (453.65) and is also third all-time on 1-meter (363.85). Kyle Mitrione moved up to seventh on the 3-meter list (351.35) and eighth on 1-meter (323.00). Zach Schultz, the record holder on 1-meter (377.45), jumped up to fifth all-time on the platform (358.95). Karnes moved up the women s all-time lists last season. She now sits third in both 1-meter (317.45) and 3-meter (364.55). Cook entered the record books in third on the platform (311.00) and 10th on 3-meter (292.73). Emily Wetzel also made noise, jumping up to seventh on both the 1-meter (278.50) and platform (266.30) lists. Berg (283.30) and Emily Griesemer (235.50) moved up to fifth and 10th, respectively, in platform. Soldati believes that success in the collegiate ranks is only the first step for his student-athletes. Not only does Soldati want his divers aspiring to become conference champions and All-Americans, he wants them to see the bigger picture - the Olympics. And Soldati has the experience to get them there. Soldati spent last summer working with Colturi and former Boilermaker Amanda Miller with the goal of advancing to the Olympics in 2008 and beyond. Miller finished ninth on the 3-meter at the Olympic Team Trials with a score of She went on to finish third at the USA Diving Olympic Team Selection Camp with partner Christina Loukas in 3-meter synchro. Colturi finished 10th on 10-meter at the Trials after tallying a Prior to his arrival at Purdue, Soldati worked with Olympic gold-medal coach Kenny Armstrong at the USA Diving National Training Center outside Houston. During his tenure, Soldati worked sideby-side with several Olympians, including Laura Wilkinson, Troy and Justin Dumais, Justin Wilcox, and Kimiko Soldati. As head coach for the Woodlands Diving national team, Soldati guided three divers (J.J. Kinzbach, Harrison Jones and Jessica Livingston) to the finals of the 2004 Olympic Trials and five divers (Kinzbach, Jones, Drew Livingston, Jessica Livingston and Whitney Wielgus) to Senior Nationals. Kinzbach also qualified for the U.S. National Team. Soldati finished the summer taking Kinzbach and Jones to the Junior World Championships. Following his graduation from Indiana University in 1997, Soldati founded Indiana Diving and Youth Development while serving as the Hoosiers' assistant coach and diving events director. Both programs succeeded at the highest levels with his involvement. From June 1997 to January 2000, Soldati's club program advanced six athletes to the U.S. Senior National Diving Championships, plus four finalists and eight athletes to the U.S. Junior National Championships and earned one national championship. At the same time, he was helping his Hoosiers win three consecutive national diving titles from 1998 to Soldati, 32, is married to Kimiko Hirai Soldati, who was a member of the 2004 U.S. Olympic Diving Team. The couple's first child, Blake, was born in November of B O I L E R M A K E R S W I M M I N G & D I V I N G I N F O R M A T I O N G U I D E

17 J. AGNEW/KIMIKO SOLDATI Asst. Swimming Coach 2nd Season at Purdue J. Agnew is now in his second year as Purdue men s swimming and diving assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. Under his watch last season, the Boilermakers posted a 7-4 dual meet record and a fifth-place finish at the Big Ten Championships. Romain Maire also went on to represent Purdue at the NCAA Championships. Maire qualified for the national meet in the 200 back and both the 200 and 400 IM. He posted times of 1:43.62 in the 200 back, 1:46.27 in the 200 IM and 3:48.85 in the 400 IM to make the NCAA B cut. In total, nine swimmers recorded 16 times that qualified for the NCAA B standards. The Boilermakers also had qualifying times in all five relay events. Maire was the lone Purdue swimmer to advance to the NCAA Championships, but Andrew Langenfeld also posted three times good enough for the B cut. Aaron Koger, John Mullen and Sam Wilcher each recorded two B qualifying times. Three varsity records fell in Agnew s first season, all of which came at the Big Ten Championships. Andrew Langenfeld touched the wall in in the 50 free, becoming the first Boilermaker to swim the event in under 20 seconds. Wilcher clocked in at 1:45.53 in the 200 fly, breaking the previous mark by.62. The 400 free relay team also set a program record, posting a mark of 2: The team consisted of Eddie Kenney, Mullen, Maire and John Schmitt. Before accepting the job at Purdue, Agnew was a successful coach with Yorktown High School and the Yorktown Swim Club. He brought the Yorktown H.S. swimming program to unprecedented heights during his seven-year tenure, coaching eight individual state champions and 22 high school All-Americans. In his final season with the Tigers, Agnew produced seven swimmers who are continuing on to compete for NCAA Division I schools. The Yorktown boys and girls squads combined for 10 top- 10 state finishes under Agnew s watch, which included a runner-up showing by his girl s team in Agnew was named Indiana High School Girl s Swimming Coach of the Year following the season after leading the team to a fourth-place finish. Agnew graduated from Ball State University in 1996 with a bachelor of science degree in mathematics education. J. and his wife Kelly have two daughters, Hayley and Neely. Vol. Diving Coach 4th Season at Purdue Kimiko Hirai Soldati is in her fourth year as the volunteer assistant diving coach at Purdue, joining her husband, Adam, on the deck of the Boilermaker Aquatic Center. A 2004 member of the U.S. Olympic diving team, Soldati s list of accomplishments in athletics and academics is nearly endless. Her most recent accolades include 3-meter championships at the 2004 U.S. National and Olympic Trial meets and a 10-meter synchro title with Laura Wilkinson at the 2004 American Cup. Soldati began her collegiate career at Colorado State but transferred to Indiana for the start of the season. After one year of redshirting, Soldati qualified for her first NCAA Championship and was victorious in 1-meter competition. For her efforts, she was selected as IU s 1996 Female Athlete of the Year. Not only was Soldati rewarded by IU for her athletic accomplishments, but her academic endeavors as well. Soldati earned a degree in kinesiology from IU in 1997, sporting a perfect 4.0 grade-point average, and was chosen as her school s valedictorian. In December of 2001, Soldati received her masters degree in athletic administration/sports management again maintaining a solid 4.0. A former GTE Academic All-American, Soldati twice received the Jack D. Tichenor Award (in 1996 and 1997), which is presented to those students who achieve the highest degree of academic excellence. Soldati earned her spot on the USA national team right out of college in 1998, and became the first female in U.S. Diving history to qualify for finals in all five events at the national championships. In the fall of 2000, Soldati made the move to The Woodlands, Texas, with her husband to train with Olympic coach Kenny Armstrong. Soldati and Armstrong proved to be a winning combination. At the 2001 Spring National Diving Championships, Soldati won the 1-meter title and earned silver medals off the 3-meter and 10-meter towers. These performances qualified her for her first major international competitions, the World Championships and Goodwill Games. In September of 2001, Soldati shocked the world by winning a bronze medal for the United States on 3-meter springboard at the Goodwill Games after the media had speculated that women s springboard was the least likely event to earn a medal for the United States. Ironically, it ended up being the sole medal the U.S. was able to garner. In 2002, Soldati went to the World Cup and won a silver medal in the 10-meter platform. She also made the finals in three other events, finishing among the top five of all three. Later that summer at the national championships, Soldati won her first national title on 3-meter springboard. A two time U.S. Diver of the Year in 2001 and 2002, Soldati again qualified for the World Cup with partner Laura Wilkinson on 10-meter synchronized and brought home a spot for the Olympic Games. She also made the World Cup in 3-meter and 3-meter synchronized with Erin Quinn. In addition to helping the Boilermaker divers, Soldati serves as a motivational speaker for different groups and causes. In the fall of 2005, Soldati gave the keynote address at the Academy for Eating Disorders national convention in Indianapolis. Soldati also plays an active part on the Revolve Tour, which is a Christian faithbased concert series and program designed specifically for teenage girls. Soldati has also made the jump into the broadcast booth, providing coverage of the FINA/USA Grand Prix and the Kaiser Permanente National Diving Championships for the AT&T blue room web site B O I L E R M A K E R S W I M M I N G & D I V I N G I N F O R M A T I O N G U I D E 17

32 SEASON RECAPS An In-State Invitational Saturday, October 13, 2007 WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue was victorious at the Indiana Intercollegiates, scoring 835 points. Following in second, Indianapolis finished with 405 points and IUPUI placed third with 366 points. We were a lot faster than I thought we would be, said men s head coach Dan Ross. I can t explain it, considering we had a full workout this morning. Maybe it s because we had this meet so early in the season that we weren t as tired. West Virginia transfer Andrew Langenfeld led the men with two wins as he won both the 50 free and 100 fly, while rookie Matt Stewart took first in the 500 freestyle at 4: Purdue s deep sophomore class collected four wins. Sam Wilcher won the 200 free in 1:43.34, Ilia Ayzenshtok was No. 1 in the 100 back at 51.16, Aaron Koger was first in the 100 breaststroke at 57.28, and Kyle Mitrione was tops off the 3-meter with points. Tim Watts, a junior, finished first in the 200 IM at 1: Ilia s and Tim s (Watts) splits in the 200 medley relay (11.69; 11.65) were within hundredths of a second of each other, and I knew we had great speed with Andrew (Langenfeld) and Matt (Stewart), said Ross. Eddie s (Kenney) in the 50 free was one of his best early season times. Diving newcomer David Colturi set a Boilermaker freshman record, scoring points on 1-meter. Danny Cox held the previous record of , which he set last season. The Real Season Begins Friday, November 2, 2007 WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue s 14thranked men s swimming and diving team survived the dual of the season, beating Notre Dame and Texas A&M We thought Notre Dame would be a little tougher, but I know they did some different training in practice this week so that might have affected them, said head coach Dan Ross. I give a lot of credit to Texas A&M. They had a long trip to come out here but they have a lot of talent. Purdue s men s team received tremendous individual efforts from its freestyle swimmers. Junior John Schmitt was first in the 100 and 200 free and second in the 50 free, while freshman Matt Stewart collected a pair of victories in the 500 and mile. Ilia Ayzenshtok, Aaron Koger, Andrew Langenfeld, and Eddie Kenney began the meet with a win in the 200 medley relay, completing the course in 1: Ayzenshtok went on to win the 200 yard back in 1:49.95, while Langenfeld took first in the in the 100 butterfly at Seniors Jin-Soo Kim and Romain Maire topped the competition in the 200 individual medley with Kim winning by.08 seconds, 1:52.56 to 1: Purdue won the first four events and nine individual events overall, giving the team a comfortable lead through most of the night. In the diving well, Kyle Mitrione and David Colturi qualified for the NCAA Zone meet with their first-place scores. Mitrione won off the 3-meter springboard with a score of points and Colturi won the 1-meter springboard competition with points. We got a great team effort tonight, said Ross. Everyone from our distance guys to our divers contributed. This season we ve added some guys and they helped tonight. Plus, the returners stepped up. It was just really wellbalanced team effort. Two More Wins Saturday, November 3, 2007 WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue completed its first home weekend of dual competition improving to 3-0 with victories over the Northwestern Wildcats ( ) and Texas A&M Aggies ( ). The final score of the Purdue and Texas A&M dual was determined by adding each day s point total and dividing it in half. The Boilermakers topped the Aggies on Friday, , and nearly duplicated the same result Saturday, I was very impressed, said Ross. We lost to Notre Dame and Northwestern up there a year ago so we were determined to make a statement. I didn t expect we d win by so much, but we re deep in just about every event. Romain Maire Dan Ross and J. Agnew Saturday s results from the pool were nearly identical to Friday s as Matt Stewart, John Schmitt, Andrew Langenfeld, and Romain Maire were winners for a second consecutive day. Ayzenshtok began the meet swimming leadoff for the victorious 400 medley relay (3:20.04), clocking a 100-yard back split of He was joined on the relay by Jin-Soo Kim, Langenfeld and Schmitt. Schmitt won the 100 and 200 free, while Langenfeld took care of the 50 and Stewart coasted through the 500. Maire and Ilia Ayzenshtok combined for a one-two sweep in the 200 back, with Maire posting a 1:49.55 to Ayzenshtok s 1: In men s diving, David Colturi and Kyle Mitrione each claimed a title. Mitrione held off Northwestern s Alex Kiaie on 3-meter, winning to Colturi returned the favor on 3-meter, beating his teammate by over 20 points, to Both Boilermaker male divers had already qualified for March s NCAA Diving Zones the previous day B O I L E R M A K E R S W I M M I N G & D I V I N G I N F O R M A T I O N G U I D E

Those seven men, behind the leadership of James H. Smart, president of Purdue University, established the principles for which the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives, more popularly known as the Big Ten Conference, would be founded. At that meeting, a blueprint for the control and administration of college athletics under the direction of appointed faculty representatives was outlined. The presidents first-known action restricted eligibility for athletics to bonafide, full-time students who were not delinquent in their studies. This helped limit some problems of the times, especially the participation of professional athletes and non-students in the university s regular sporting events. That important legislation, along with others that would follow in the coming years, served as the primary building block for amateur intercollegiate athletics. Eleven months after the presidents met, one faculty member from each of those seven universities met at the same Palmer House, and officially established the mechanics of the Intercollegiate conference of Faculty Representatives, or Big Ten Conference of Western Conference. Those seven universities were: University of Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Northwestern University, Purdue University and the University of Wisconsin. Indiana University and the State University of Iowa were admitted in Ohio State joined in Chicago withdrew in 1946 and Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) was added three years later in After a 40-year period of constancy in membership, the Conference expanded to 11 members for the first time. On June 4, 1990, the Council of Presidents voted to confirm its earlier decision to integrate Pennsylvania State University into the Conference. At the turn of the century, faculty representatives established rules for intercollegiate athletics that were novel for the time. As early as 1906, the faculty approved legislation that required eligible athletes to meet entrance requirements and to have completed a full year s work, along with having one year of residence. Freshmen and graduate students were not permitted to compete, training tables (or quarters) were forbidden, and coaches were to be appointed by university bodies at modest salaries. Football and baseball were the popular sports prior to Wisconsin won the first two football championships and Chicago claimed the first three baseball titles. The first official sponsored championship was in out-door track. It was held at the University of Chicago in 1906 with Michigan earning the title. Today, the Big Ten sponsors 25 championships, 12 for men and 13 for women. There have been many different athletic events popularized on Big Ten campuses. Some became extremely popular - football and basketball, for example. Others, like boxing, fell by the wayside. The office of the commissioner of athletics was created in 1922 to study athletic problems of the various Western Conference universities and assist in enforcing the eligibility rules which govern Big Ten athletics. Major John L. Griffith was appointed as the first commissioner and served in that position until his death in Kenneth L. Tug Wilson, former director of athletics at Northwestern, served from 1944 until he retired in Bill Reed, an assistant commissioner since 1951, succeeded Wilson until his death in Wayne Duke became the fourth Big Ten commissioner in 1971 and retired June 30, Duke was succeeded by James E. Delany on July 1, Delany came to the Big Ten following 10 years as Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner B O I L E R M A K E R S W I M M I N G & D I V I N G I N F O R M A T I O N G U I D E 63
