16 NEBRASKA SWIMMING AND DIVING ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE From the day student-athletes decide the University of Nebraska is the right place to be, the athletic academic counseling unit provides personal and academic support to ensure that student-athletes will get the most out of their years as Huskers. Featuring one of the most innovative and comprehensive academic support systems in the country, Nebraska is dedicated to helping its student-athletes become outstanding leaders in their chosen fields. The academic support team is comprised of 13 full-time staff members and a tutorial staff of approximately 70 tutors addressing all subject areas. Academic Counseling Eight academic counselors and three assistant academic counselors are in place to monitor daily academic progress, receive consistent course feedback, assist with the advising/registration process and monitor continuing eligibility and progress toward graduation. Essentially, academic counselors assist student-athletes in navigating the University of Nebraska system. Tutorial Support A tremendous resource for all academic abilities, unlimited tutorial support is available from day one up to college graduation. Subject and mentor tutors help provide academic support and study strategies to be successful. Supplemental Instruction, a sub-component of the tutorial program, provides targeted group review sessions to help ease the transition to college academics while improving study strategies and building academic self-esteem. Study Hall There are two facets to the study hall program at Nebraska. Student-athletes either attend a structured study hall, typically two hours in length held four days a week, or have flex time where they study a specific number of hours each week as determined by their academic counselor and/or coach. Weekly study hall reports are provided to the coaching staff. Mentoring Many student-athletes meet with a mentor on a weekly basis to assist in making a smooth transition from high school to college. Mentors collect syllabi, gather and report academic progress information and teach academic success strategies. Educational Assessments Assessments are administered upon the request of the student-athlete, academic counselor, or coach to determine student strengths and areas for improvement. Results allow academic counselors to develop a personalized academic support program and to determine if more in-depth testing is warranted. When additional assessments are necessary, referrals are made to a consulting psychologist who conducts the assessments. If it is determined that a student-athlete has a learning disability, appropriate accommodations are made through the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities. Multi-Cultural Programs Designed to enhance cultural awareness, staff members concentrate efforts on issues of transition, adjustment and retention for students of color, international students and women. These support programs include Ladies First, International Night and Your Degree First. Your Degree First is a program designed to assist, motivate and promote minority student-athletes in pursuing the degree of their choice. Student-Athlete Orientation The academic staff coordinates New Student-Athlete Orientation to help newcomers adjust to the multiple demands of being a college student-athlete. Presentations are made by academic counselors, compliance officials, NU faculty and administrators, business/community professionals and student-athletes. Personal Counseling Student-athletes will find a supportive and caring environment at Nebraska. Transitional issues, stress management, time management, academic focus and problem resolution are all addressed in a proactive manner throughout the year.

25 the huskers coaching staff season review athletic administration THE HUSKERS Nebraska Season Preview The Nebraska swimming and diving team returns to the pool with another big squad this year- 34 in all, and Nebraska Coach Pablo Morales said the team's size will benefit the swimmers in the long-run. "This is the direction we have taken the past couple of years," Morales said. "We have allowed our roster size to grow a bit larger than we have had in previous years. From a managing point, it is a challenge. Not only the logistics of travel, but in terms of training and scheduling. We are looking to break down into training groups, but I think we are used to the size this year." Nebraska is anchored by eight returning seniors- Jess Andrews, Claire Desormey, Julie Giehl, Kelsey Grushecky, Blaine Hoppenrath, Brandie Kavalec, Meredith Matthies and Rachell McClain. The senior class features talent and experience, and Morales is confident they can replace the leadership of the seven seniors lost from NU's squad. This year's senior class is replacing seven seniors from the NU squad: Kaitlin Arntz, Colleen Criss, Karen Criss, Hailey Dean, Mariah Hutchinson, Kelsey Ida and Sarah Ziegelmann. Last year's senior line-up is not going to be an easy one to replace, but Morales believes this year's seniors will be able to fill the gap. "It will certainly be a tough task," Morales said. "But I believe this senior class is capable of doing a good job of stepping up and filling that role." The Husker seniors have combined for a total of 89 top-five finishes, including 14 victories. They are looking to increase that number this year, and Morales has full confidence in them. Andrews has been a consistent force as a sprint freestyler in her three years at Nebraska. Over that span, Andrews has recorded the fifth-best 50-yard freestyle time in Nebraska history, and was a part of four relay teams with top-five finishes all-time at Nebraska. A three-time letterwinner, Andrews is looking to finish her senior season strong. "Jess has been a very talented swimmer for us," Morales said. "She has achieved a lot of what we hoped for. She was very good coming out of Wyoming, and we have seen constant improvement. She has definitely proven how competitive she is by becoming one of our top sprinters. We are certainly looking for her to rebound after a bit of an off year and dealing with some injuries. I think she is ready, and it is all there for her to have an excellent senior year." Desormey, along with Andrews, is another sprinter entering her final year at Nebraska. The Illinois native has been a constant factor in each of her three years at NU. Desormey peaked at the 2010 Big 12 Championships, setting two career-best times in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle to create some momentum coming into her final year. "Claire has been a wonderful addition to our program," Morales said. "She has worked hard and fought hard to achieve a role on the team and has added great depth to our sprint and middle-distance swimmers. She has been all about improving and serves as a wonderful example for our other team members. We are looking for her to continue to improve and to have a great year as well as assume a leadership role this year." Giehl is another senior looking to end her Husker career as an integral part of the squad. Giehl owns the 13th-fastest 200-free time in Nebraska history, along with the 20th-best time in the 200 breaststroke. "Giehl is a very talented swimmer who has had some ups and downs. While at NU, the one thing that has been constant has been her passion to be better and to contribute in a meaningful way," Morales said. "She has been a great supporter of her teammates and has an affinity for them. We are looking for her to have the kind of year she is capable of from a talent standpoint. If she does that, she should figure to be a point scorer at the conference championships." Grushecky made her mark at NU last season, as she battled 2010 senior Mariah Hutchinson for the school record in the 100-yard butterfly. Grushecky produced 12 top-five finishes including two victories a year ago. "She is a very talented swimmer and an awesome competitor, much like Jess Andrews," Morales said. "When they are on the block, they pride themselves on being outstanding. The key for them will be to have the preparation to match their ability to compete. If they have that, there will be no stopping them. Kelsey will be a competitor in not only the butterfly but the freestyle also." Hoppenrath, the team captain, has also proven herself as a winner. She owns four times that are in the top 20 all-time at Nebraska, including the fifth-fastest time ever at NU in the 200-yard butterfly. "She has displayed everything that a team should be about," Morales said. "She knows what it takes to have a great season. I think she is very introspective and honest with herself. She has really elevated her expectations in terms of having a great year and taking over the captain's role. It really gives her more of an expansive opportunity to contribute to the program in a positive way."

She has produced team-best times in the 1,650-yard freestyle in each of her three years at Nebraska, to go along with her 20 top-five finishes during the season. "Brandie is another talented swimmer who is capable of doing some really special things," Morales said. "Brandie has been fairly constant and has made steady improvement. She had a bit of a breakthrough in her junior year in distance freestyle. She is all about the team and helping the program do well." Matthies enters her senior year with high expectations. She produced her best three times of at the Big 12 Championships. A remarkably versatile swimmer, Matthies placed among the top eight in seven different events last season. "Meredith had a really great breakthrough last year," Morales said. "Her first years were not quite what she wanted. She has always been a model for her wonderful personality and being a team person. She is very encouraging and just a real hard worker. Because of the success she had last year, she is ready to have an even better year this year." McClain looks to continue making strides as one of Nebraska's top backstrokers entering the season. McClain set her personal-best at the Big 12 Championships in the 200-yard backstroke and also owns the 10th-fastest time in NU history. "Rachell has had some great success here," Morales said. "When she sets her mind and all facets of her training, both inside the pool and outside, she has shown she can do an outstanding job and is something special. She is fired up about her senior year, and I think she can make a big impact in the backstroke and individual medley." The seniors are follwed by a talented roster of underclassmen, including six juniors and a huge class of 12 sophomores. Morales has equal expectations for the entire team and is confident in their ability to step up and be team leaders early. "We haven't been happy or satisfied at all with the way things have gone at the conference meet," Morales said. "We have had success on an individual basis, but we are looking to put things more together as a team. I think we all realize it is more than the sum of success of one individual. We want to bond as a team and be firing on all cylinders. If we can do that, our expectations are quite high. We want to certainly finish in the top half of the conference. We are confident that we can achieve higher than sixth place in the conference. We can also be happy with putting together a solid team performance if the swimmers and divers come together. We are ready to move up, and we want to finish our involvement with the Big 12 on a high note." Following in the senior's footsteps, the six-person junior class is going to be expected to contribute significantly with team points. Bobbi Balogh, Bailey Bolinske, Mailene Leslie, D'Arcy Schmidt, Riley Seidel and Caroline Shea hope to live up to Morales' expectations.

"We have had swimmers in this class score at conference. Mailene has scored in the distance event, Riley broke through last year to score, and D'Arcy has scored as well. This class is very capable of contributing in a tangible way from a points standpoint. They are at the halfway point of their careers and what they will notice is that if they think their first two years went quickly, wait until they realize how fast these last two are going to go. I want them to seize their moment and put whatever has held them back in the past, and just go for it." Among Nebraska's 12 sophomores are four swimmers who combined for 68 top-five showings a year ago. Ellan Dufour, Amy Herman, Kelsey Larson, and Kaitlan Walker experienced impressive success as rookies and will look for more help from fellow sophomores Jordyn Ambrosich, Kailey Creek, Hayley Martin, Alyson Ramsey, Ashley Reiter, Shannon Toomey, Ariel Weech and Sara Weinberg. "This is a very large group that has already contributed to this program," Morales said. "As freshmen they did an outstanding job. A lot of our scoring standouts are back. Ellan Dufour was able to score at the conference meet. Kelsey Larson reached the finals in two events as well. She also achieved an NCAA provisional qualifying time, which is one step closer to making the NCAA Championships. She is a potential qualifier this year and a big-time scorer for us. Hayley Martin really put it all together as a freshman, and she could be a real standout in that regard. Ariel Weech made some really great improvement and was able to score at the conference meet as well. From a scoring standpoint, those are the girls we look to and others will step up for us as well." The freshman group will have a lot of experienced swimmers to look up to this year. The class is littered with excellent high school talent, and Morales and the coaching staff hope to translate that into collegiate success. "We are excited about our freshman group," Morales said. "There are a lot of state champions from this incoming group, including Morgan Flannigan from Kansas, Shannon Guy who is a Nebraska state champion, Lexie Halberstadt, a North Dakota state champion along with Bailey Pons, an Iowa state champion and Kristen Strecker, another Kansas state champion. So we are very excited about this group. They all have a really good chance of making an impact right away. We also have a walk-on from Texas, Megan Ziemann. She has wonderful potential and is very excited to be a Husker. coaching staff season review athletic administration husker history Nebraska Season Preview We are excited to see what she can do this year." The diving corps this year are headed by Coach Natasha Chikina, and Morales emphasized their importance. "As far as the divers go, you have Payton Michaud as a freshman, then you have D'Arcy Schmidt as a junior, and then in between you have a whole mess of sophomores, Kailey Creek, Amy Herman, Alyson Ramsey, Shannon Toomey and Kaitlan Walker. Historically, diving has been a very intergral part of our success, and I think we have a young group of divers. They have a little more experience than a year ago and they are a little bit better at performing under pressure." The Huskers open their schedule with back-to-back road duals at Illinois (Oct. 9) and Nevada (Nov. 6) before their first home duals against Wyoming and North Dakota on Nov. 12. Head Coach Pablo Morales is entering his 10th season with the Nebraska swimming and diving program.

Under his leadership, Nebraska has returned to familiar heights and reached goals Morales hopes to extend as he enters his 10th season as head coach in He has led the Huskers to at least seven dual wins in four of the past eight years. Before Morales' arrival, such improvements would have been almost unthinkable after a short-handed Nebraska team was winless in (0-3). Three years later, NU raced to an 8-1 dual record in and became the first Husker swimming and diving team to win eight consecutive meets in school history. Most importantly, Morales led the Huskers out of the bottom of the Big 12 with a fourth-place finish in 2004 and a third-place showing in Nebraska has continued to move toward its goal of future dominance. The Huskers have history on their side after winning five conference titles from 1994 to A 1987 graduate of Stanford University, Morales is one of the greatest male swimmers in U.S. history, winning an NCAArecord 11 individual titles. He also helped lead the Cardinal to three consecutive NCAA titles and four Pac-10 titles, while twice earning Pac-10 Swimmer-of-the-Year honors and garnering six Pac-10 titles himself.

Morales was also the recipient of the 1987 Al Masters Award, which is Stanford's highest award for athletic performance, leadership and academic performance.

While at Stanford, Morales was awarded the J.E. Sterling Award, which is presented to a student-athlete based on scholarship, leadership and community service.

An Olympic swimmer, Morales won three gold and two silver medals in the 1984 and 1992 Games, serving as a team captain for the 1992 squad. Following the 1992 Games, in which he returned to the pool after a three-year layoff to capture a gold medal in the 100-meter butterfly, Morales was named the U.S. Olympic Committee's Sportsman of the Year. He held the U.S. Open and NCAA record in the 100-yard fly with a time of 46.26, which stood for 13 years before being broken at the 1999 NCAA Championships.

Morales had the chance to see the selection process and serve a role in the decision that gave Nebraska its first Olympic event in state history. The Swimming Trials were a resounding success, and Omaha proved to be a worthy host for the event. The attendance at the Qwest Center Omaha broke records for the largest swimming meet ever held in the United States. Nine world and 21 American records were broken in the eight-day meet, and nearly half of the competitors set personal lifetime bests in ideal swimming conditions inside the arena. USA Swimming has once again chosen Omaha to be the site of the 2012 Swim Trials, as the Qwest Center will once again be the focus of the entire nation in preparation for the 2012 London Games.

He held the reins as head coach from 1998 until being named coach at Nebraska in July of Morales rejuvenated a Spartan program that was near the bottom of the Western Athletic Conference. He was named the 2000 WAC Coach of the Year for his efforts. While at San Jose State, Morales rebuilt a program and took the Spartans to the NCAA Championships after a 14-year absence. During his tenure, Morales produced six academic All-WAC swimmers. At the 2001 WAC Championships, five Spartans set school records under Morales' supervision, and three met NCAA qualification times. Seven others swam times that placed among the top three in school history. Before his stint at SJSU, Morales served as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Stanford, during the season, helping lead the squad to the NCAA team title. Morales also served as a graduate assistant at Cornell while pursuing his law degree. While at Cornell, Morales prepared and coached daily workouts for swimmers and assisted in recruiting. Morales has assisted in coaching with the San Jose Aquatics club group, as well as serving as head coach of the Stanford Masters Swim Team.

"Our goal is to take this program to the elite national level." A powerful motivator, Morales hopes to keep his swimmers on the top of their games in and out of the pool, as Nebraska has established itself among the nation's best in academic support and athletics. Over the past four seasons, nearly 80 percent of Morales' student-athletes have been named to the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll each semester, including a school-record high 25 in the fall of "I want our swimmers to achieve their goals of faster times and lifetime bests," Morales said.

"As soon as the swimmers spend a few days or weeks with him," Kenny said, "they will see how much he cares about them and the sport of swimming." Morales also gets a vote of confidence that he will be able to turn Nebraska into a national title contender. "He brings a high level of experience to build up the team," Kenny said. "He's been there and done that as far as swimming is concerned. I honestly believe that he is a better coach than he was a swimmer, and that is saying a lot since he was one of the best swimmers in the world. He has done things with kids that I thought I would never see." Kenny has confidence in Morales' one-on-one ability to work with student-athletes. "If there is a female swimmer out there that wants to be the best in the world," Kenny said, "I'd send her to swim for Pablo." Morales' experience as both an NCAA and international swimmer as well as a club and collegiate coach can only help him in coaching and recruiting. "In my experiences, I have been fortunate to have had a long career as a competitor. I was able to train with coaches who I think are some of the best in the world," Morales said. "I have learned from them, and I have learned from myself. I believe that all of my experiences have prepared me for coaching. I have a good feel for the contours of teams that are successful. I know how they practice, train and compete." In July of 2002, M o r a l e s n a m e d Doug Humphrey as his assistant. This season, Humphrey will enter his 20th year associated with the Husker swimming and diving program. "Doug has a great deal of experience at Nebraska," Morales said. "He's spent a lot of time here.

55 Season in Review The swimming season was littered with individual success that made headlines, but it was tough at times for the team to put in solid efforts as a whole. For the second year in a row, the Huskers shined at the Big 12 Championships and set many personal bests, and CoSIDA Academic All-American Kaitlin Arntz swam at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships. Arntz swam at nationals in West Lafayette, Ind., on the campus of Purdue University in mid-march. She was the first Husker to qualify for the NCAA Championships since Lauren Bailey in Arntz swam in the 200-yard IM where she finished 61st in the field with a time of 2: She also swam the 100-yard breaststroke in a time of 1:02.53, coming in 39th overall. She then swam the 200-yard breaststroke and finished 41st with a time of 2: "Kaitlin's run was a testament of what hard work and dedication can amount to," assistant coach Doug Humphrey said. "She always did the extra work to make herself better. Being from Nebraska and watching her grow up, I couldn't be happier and it couldn't happen to someone who deserved it more. Arntz finished her career as one of the most accomplished swimmers in Nebraska history. She was a 10-time scorer at the conference meet in her career, including three top-six finishes in She also owns the school's third-fastest times in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke and the 200-yard IM.

In fact, two freshmen divers qualified for the NCAA Zone Diving Meet. Nebraska freshmen Amy Herman and Kaitlan Walker combined for four top-20 finishes at the Zone Diving Championships in College Station, Texas. Herman had her best dive on the platform, while Walker put in the fifth-highest three-meter score in NU history (506.40). The Big 12 Championships saw the Huskers finish sixth, but they performed at a higher level than their team's position might indicate. The Huskers earned 261 total team points. Texas A&M took the title, winning a third Big 12 championship in the last four years. Nearly every NU swimmer had a career-best time in at least one event during the four-day Big 12 Championships.

68 NEBRASKA SWIMMING AND DIVING coaching staff season review athletic administration husker history Nebraska's Golden Penny Penny Heyns Amanzimtoti, South Africa - Olympic Gold Medalist - Olympic Bronze Medalist - World Record Holder It's not every day you run across a golden penny. But for South Africans and Nebraskans alike, there was one shining bright at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Penny Heyns, a former U n i v e r s i t y o f N e b r a s k a standout, earned two gold medals and became the first female in Olympic history to sweep the breaststroke events. Heyns' whirlwind year of success began on the collegiate level. In Husker suit and cap at the 1996 Big Eight Championships in mid-february, Heyns set a then-ncaa and U.S. Open record in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:08.90), as well as an NU record in the 100-yard event (1:00.18) to help Nebraska win its third consecutive conference crown. After setting the records, Heyns was forced to travel home for the South African Olympic Trials, which were inconveniently scheduled between the two most important collegiate meets, the conference and national championships. Nevertheless, it proved to be a trip Heyns would never forget. During the preliminary heat of the 100-meter breaststroke at the trials, Heyns set a world record with a time of 1: The time broke the record held by Australia's Samantha Riley, who had set a mark of 1:07.69 in September, Just days after her return from South Africa, Heyns became the first Husker to win a national championship at the NCAA Championships in Ann Arbor, Mich. Heyns dominated the 100-yard breaststroke with a pool-record 1:00.27 and also earned a silver medal in the 200-yard breaststroke with a 2:09.71 performance. Heyns then entered the Olympics as the frontrunner in the 100-meter breaststroke event. She proved she had earned that title in the preliminaries, as she blew away the competition and shattered her own world record in a clocking of 1:07.02 in the process. In the finals, Heyns got off to a quick start, but didn't dominate as she had in the prelims. America's Amanda Beard began her trademark kick at the 50-meter mark and almost caught Heyns at the wall. Heyns held on to finish in 1:07.72 and edged Beard (1:08.09), to claim gold for the first time. Two days later, Heyns proved she wasn't finished. After setting an Olympic record of 2:26.63 in the preliminaries of the 200-meter breaststroke, Heyns was timed at 2:25.41 in the finals and again beat out Beard (2:25.75) for the gold. Beard entered the Olympics ranked No. 1 in the 200, but couldn't catch up with the quick pace Heyns set from the start. "That was one of the hardest races I ever swam," Heyns said following the race. "I'm just glad I had the guts to hang in there." At a press conference in Lincoln, Neb., the week following her gold medal performances, Heyns admitted she was surprised about the win in the 200. "In some ways, I sit back, and I really can't believe it," Heyns said. "The 200 (win) was totally unexpected. I don't think it has sunk in yet." An extremely successful career at Nebraska fine-tuned Heyns for Olympic success. A 15- time All-American and 14-time conference champion for the Huskers, Heyns left Nebraska as the most decorated swimmer in the program's history. Heyns' accomplishments at Nebraska and on the international level will always be recognized. Heyns has continually showed her appreciation for the University of Nebraska and its athletic department. Following her double gold medal performance, Heyns didn't waste any time in thanking the Nebraska Swimming and Diving Program and its support staff for the role they played in her Olympic success. "There is no way I would even be swimming today if I didn't come to Nebraska," Heyns said. "Nebraska has done so much for me that I could never express it. It's not just swimming, it's a family to me -- the whole coaching staff and all my friends." Heyns' Career Highlights + Two-Time Olympic gold medalist; Three-Time medalist + First Woman in Olympic history to sweep the breaststroke events + First athlete to win a gold medal for South Africa since Former Olympic record holder, 100 & 200-meter breaststroke Swimming World World Swimmer of the Year Big Eight Female Athlete of the Year + 10-time First-Team NCAA All-American + Five-Time Honorable-Mention NCAA All-American + First Husker swimmer to win a national championship (100-yard breaststroke, 1:00.27, 1996) + 14-time Big Eight Conference champion + Three-time Pan Pacific champion Big Eight Female Athlete of the Year Heyns' World Records + 50-meter breaststroke (long course): meter breaststroke (long course): 1: meter breaststroke (long course): 2: meter breaststroke (short course): 1:05.57 For the next four years Heyns continued to define excellence in the sport of swimming on a world-class level by producing one of the greatest performances in the history of the sport. At the 1999 Pan Pacific Championships, Heyns established three world records. Winning gold in both the 100- and 200-meter breaststrokes, Heyns touched the wall in 1:06.52 and 2:23.64, respectively, both world bests. In addition, she swam an exhibition 50-meter breaststroke, posting another world record with a time of Heyns took home her third medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics by earning a bronze medal in the 100-meter breaststroke in a time of 1: Olympic gold medalist Penny Heyns became the first Husker to win a national championship in HISTORY HUSKERS.COM
