18 42 The Tradition Consistency. It s the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now in its 50th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it. Since the league s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 85 national championships, including 43 in women s competition and 42 in men s. In addition, 120 men and 31 women have earned the coveted title of NCAA champion in Review The academic year concluded with the league pocketing three more national team titles and six individual NCAA crowns.

A History The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven charter members Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest drawing up the conference by-laws. The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern Conference came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference s annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C., where a set of bylaws was adopted and the name became officially the Atlantic Coast Conference. Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference appeared in the region s newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh. Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid South, Mid Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline. Duke s Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $ to pay for conference expenses. On December 4, 1953, conference officials met again at Sedgefield and officially admitted the University of Virginia as the league s eighth member. The first, and only, withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971, when the University of South Carolina tendered its resignation. The ACC operated with seven members until April 3, 1978, when the Georgia Institute of Technology was admitted. The Atlanta school had withdrawn from the Southeastern Conference in January of The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State University.

30 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 54 Stephen Parry Since its inception in 1949, the Florida State men s swimming and diving program has had 21 swimmers and 15 relay teams earn All-America honors. In 1961, Curt Genders won FSU s first diving NCAA title on the one and three meter springboards. In 1997, 36 years later, Seminole swimmer Stephen Parry made history for the program, bringing home FSU s first individual NCAA swimming championship. The next year Brendon Dedekind took the 50-free title at the NCAAs and ended his career as a Seminole in 1999 by winning the 100- breast title. The following is only a small dose of what these two swimmers accomplished as Seminoles: Stephen Parry Stephen Parry trained in crowded pools and limited facilities in Liverpool, Great Britain, but from that setting came great accomplishments. He was the 1994 Junior European Champion and the 1995 England National Champion in the 200-fly. When Parry came to FSU, he brought with him his greatest ambition to make the Olympic finals. Parry chased that dream competing to qualify for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta. He finished second at the British Olympic Trials but did not reach Great Britain qualifying times. I was disappointed, Parry said. The Olympics has been a goal for me for a long time. I just didn t swim as well as I could have. Stephen supported teammates Rob (Braknis) and Brendon (Dedekind) at the Olympics, but I think watching his teammates swim in Atlanta really hit home for him, said former FSU head coach Don Gibb. He knew he should be at the Olympics and realized he had to work that much harder to make it. Juggling school, swimming and a personal life was a challenge and he realized he would have to prioritize. Parry found his first year at FSU to be a challenge, having to adjust to a new training program, a new school and new country all together. But it was after the British Trials that he knew he had to change something. He returned to FSU with a new ambition a team victory at the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships and a top five finish in the NCAA. He took advantage of the training facilities and started working harder and longer. Coming from Liverpool, the training facilities were completely different, Parry said. It took the summer of 96 for me to realize what I had available to me. All his hard work and dedication paid off for Parry. He improved his times throughout the season, but saw the biggest improvements at the 1997 ACC Championships. Going into the championships, Parry was ranked first in the 200-fly and he did not disappoint. Not only did he win the event, but he set an ACC record in the process. He went on to win the 200 Free and was on the 200- and 400- medley relay champion teams, leading to Co-Swimmer of the Year honors in the ACC along with Brendon Dedekind. At the 1997 NCAA championship meet in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Parry and his teammates achieved several honors. Dedekind became the first FSU swimmer to achieve three All-America finishes and all five Seminole relay teams scored for the Seminoles. But perhaps the greatest accomplishment came on the night of March 29th when Parry, who was seeded first in the 200-fly going into the finals, won the first national championship for swimming in FSU history. His pool record time of 1:44.28 won him the title and helped him restore some confidence. I wasn t really thinking about it (the championship) at the time, Parry said. Going into the race seeded first, there was some pressure but I wasn t expecting to win. It was more of a shock than anything else. I just swam the race the way coach planned it out. It really didn t hit me until I got back to Tallahassee that I had won a national championship. And it wasn t even until this summer that I realized I m as good as the best swimmers in the nation. Parry continued to compete internationally in the summer, representing England in the European Championships and winning a Bronze Medal in the 200-fly. He next competed in the World University Games in the 200-fly and finished fifth overall. The Europeans were exciting, Parry said. I was representing my country and was pleased with finishing third. I was just excited to be there. As for the World University Games, it wasn t my best swim but swimming against the best swimmers in the world made me realize I am among the best. Parry competed that summer in the Commonwealth Games in Malaysia where he finished third in the 200-fly. After a summer of international competition, he set his sights on training for another year of collegiate swimming, but the Olympic experience still sat in the back of his mind. In the summer of 2000, Parry s dream came true when he qualified to represent Great Britain in the Sydney Olympic games. In Sydney, Parry competed in the 200-fly. After a strong showing in the preliminary rounds, he advanced to the finals. In the final heat, he swam his heart out, but finished short of earning a medal, placing sixth.

31 Brendon Dedekind Swimming in a lane with six and seven people is not the ideal training conditions for an Olympic swimmer. But for Brendon Dedekind, it was the starting point for what would soon become a successful career in collegiate and international competition. Swimmers from South Africa who would go to the US to train always came back swimming much faster times, Dedekind said. Even at a young age, I wanted to train in the US. It was a dream for me. After the 1992 South African Nationals, he began to pursue that dream. Dedekind sent out 32 applications to United States universities and received many prospect questionnaires, but no scholarships materialized. So in 1993 he enrolled in engineering classes in South Africa and gave up on the dream. You have to be on a good scholarship to get to a school abroad, Dedekind said. Without that money, the exchange rate is too high for athletes to attend school in the US. Many foreign athletes would do anything for some of the facilities you have here. In 1993 the tables began to turn for Dedekind and he started to see the dream becoming a reality. Neil Harper, an assistant coach at FSU at the time, received a phone call from former LSU teammate, Darryl Cronje, a fellow South African swimmer, telling him about a South African who could be an asset to the team. Not too long after, Dedekind received a call from then assistant head coach Neil Harper offering him a scholarship. I really liked the ideas the coaches put forward over the phone, the way they wanted to train sprinters, so I signed...and the rest is history, Dedekind laughed. History is exactly where Dedekind has placed himself. He started at Florida State in January of 1995 and immediately saw the differences in training. The biggest difference to me was the facilities, the pool and weight room and the support structure, he said. There was such a positive atmosphere on the pool deck and away from the pool which made it easier to train and take my swimming to the highest level of competition. When he first came to Florida State, Dedekind had no international swimming experience behind him. Dedekind envisioned swimming at a university for four years and contributing as a team player while training for the 2000 Olympics. He never even thought about the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta let alone an NCAA title. When he realized he might have a shot at the 1996 Olympics, he returned home and qualified for a spot on the South African Olympic team. At the Olympics, Dedekind surprised his country and fellow swimmers as he qualified for the finals in the 50-free and finished fifth. However, 1996 was just the beginning. Making the finals in the Atlanta Olympics was just a stepping stone for the 2000 Olympics, Dedekind said. As a freshman, he qualified for the NCAA Championships at the University of Texas. He had seen pictures of the pool, and swimming at such a major university was overwhelming feeling. Although he made the consolation finals in the 50-free and won the heat finishing ninth, he was still overwhelmed by the facility and the stronger, faster swimmers. This gave him more incentive to train and work harder for the next season. The following March, Dedekind started to make his mark in FSU swimming history. The 1997 NCAA Championships were held at the University of Minnesota and with one NCAA meet under his belt, Dedekind felt more relaxed and less overwhelmed by the enormity of the competition. He qualified in the 50- and 100-free and the 100- breast and made it his goal not only to make the finals, but to win the events that night. Dedekind became the first swimmer in FSU history to garner All-America honors in three events in the same year with his top-five finishes in the three events. Dedekind also swam in the fastest heat of the 50-free in NCAA history. That same year, teammate Stephen Parry won the 200-fly at the NCAA s, becoming the first FSU swimmer to win an individual title. After swimming in that fast of a heat and with Steve winning the 200-fly, I knew I had to train harder, Dedekind said. Steve winning made me want to push myself harder. He and I are very competitive and push each other, but we are still the best of friends. In the 1998 NCAA meet at Auburn, Dedekind s goal was make the finals. His qualifying time in the 50- free set a new pool record and gave him the top seed going into the evening competition. That night, Dedekind dominated the competition and became only the second swimmer in FSU history to win an individual title, taking first in the 50-free. I took the race as just another race, Dedekind remarked. It was really exciting to win the 50-free, but I was still not satisfied with my time. I think I could have swam faster that night. Satisfaction came in his senior year, but not in the 50- free. Dedekind entered the 1999 NCAA Championships qualified in the 50- and 100-free and the 100-breaststroke. He walked away with yet another title, but this time it was in the 100-breast. With two NCAA individual titles under his belt and year of international competition, Dedekind set his sights on the 2000 Sydney Olympics. In his second trip to the Summer Games, Dedekind advanced to the semifinal heat in the 50-free, where he placed fourth. However, his time just fell short of qualifying him for the finals, ending up ninth overall, marking the end of a proud and decorated career. Brendon Dedekind 55
