PREVIEW
2013-14 Women’s Season Preview
AMBER CARTER
Swimming Coach Dave Geyer and Diving Coach Doug Shaffer enter their fourth season as co-head coaches.
The LSU women’s program finished seventh at SEC Championships and 36th at NCAA Championships last season.
NCAA Honorable Mention All-American divers Alex Bettridge
and Cassie Weil highlight the Lady Tigers. The returnees also
include NCAA qualifiers Torrey Bussey, Rainey White and Amber Carter. Finally, newcomers Kara Kopcso and Colleen O’Neil
will provide depth to the Lady Tiger squad.
SENIORS:
Torrey Bussey holds the LSU records in the 200 breast and 200 IM. She
qualified for her third NCAA Championships and finished 21st in the 100
breaststroke last season.
“Her main goal this year is to qualify for NCAA Championships for the fourth
consecutive year and to score in the meet,” LSU swimming coach Dave Geyer
said. “She has that potential and talent in the breaststroke or 200 IM. With
the experience of the past three years, it will help her as she finsihes her
career.”
Rainey White looks to qualify for NCAA Championships for a third consecutive year. The Alabama native swam the third leg of the Lady Tiger’s 200-medley relay, which qualified for the championships.
“She has goals to contribute on relays and make it back to SEC Championships. We will also look to her for relay teams and to make it to NCAA Championships again,” Geyer said.
Parker Glass and Kara Kopcso both hope to make strong returns after disappointing junior seasons. Glass was sidelined for a majority of the year with a
back injury. Kopcso faced illness last year and wasn’t able to compete.
“It was a dissapointing year for both of those girls,” Geyer said. “They’ve
4
LSU
2013-14 SWIMMING & DIVING MEDIA GUIDE
made great strides in returning and they’ve come back stronger from this.
We need them in terms of depth and leadership for our young women. They’re
crucial for their development.”
Laura Furr, Kyara Jones and Emily Weaner round out the senior class and will
be depended on for their leadership and experience.
“We will look to them for their experience and depth,” Geyer said. “We have
a lot of newcomers so these Lady Tigers will have an impact on developing the
new women. It will help them push harder and push to a new level of competition.”
JUNIORS:
Captain Amber Carter leads the Lady Tigers. Carter has qualified for NCAA
Championships both years at LSU and will lead the women in the 50 and 100
free.
“She has high ambitions to make a statement in conference and finish in
the top-eight of her primary events,” Geyer said. “She will be a driving force on
the pool deck and in the water for our women. We are looking at her to step up
and really lead our team.”
Alex Bettridge is an NCAA Honorable Mention All-American and experienced
SEC diver. Bettridge captured fourth on the one-meter at SEC Championships
last season and owns the second best score all-time in LSU history for the
three-meter.
“Alex made a tremendous amount of progress last spring and this summer,”
LSU diving coach Doug Shaffer said. “Last year was a transitional year and I
believe this year will be her breakout year. She has increased her difficulty,
and she has exhibited a great deal of maturity throughout her training. She
can final at SEC championships, and she can be an NCAA All-American. If it’s
possible, she’s even more focused and ready for this season. ”
Jennifer Reese is an SEC qualifier and a 2013 SEC Academic Honor Roll
member.
“Jennifer will be a key player in the 100 and 200 backstroke,” Geyer said.
“She had a great sophomore season after her first year. We are looking to
build upon that and cut her times down going into her junior year.”
2013-14 Women’s Season Preview
RAINEY WHITE
Katlin Sepp adds depth to the
backstroke events and set season
bests at SEC Championships last
season. Sepp finished 30th in the
200 back with a time of 1:59.50.
“She is training great right
now,” Geyer said. “We’ve run into
some injuries with her back, so
we’ve had to alter how she trains.
She is now healthy and strong in
the water. Hopefully keeping her
healthy and training well will give
us some depth in the backstroking
events.”
SOPHOMORES:
Cassie Weil had a tremendous
freshman year as a two-time NCAA
Honorable Mention All-American.
The Hillsboro, Ore. native set the
LSU record in the three-meter dive
and was named the SEC Freshman
Diver of the Year.
“Cassie had a phenomenal
freshman year, and she capped
it off with a third place finish at
AT&T USA Diving Championships in
August,” Shaffer said. “She has the
capability of reaching the finals
in three events at SEC Championships and medaling in two events.
She is a favorite and contender to
qualify for NCAA’s, but her goal is
to get into the top eight.”
Megan Cox is an SEC Championship qualifier who looks to find her
niche in the freestyle events.
“She came in last year with a
lot of diversity in different events,”
Geyer said. “We decided to narrow
down her events primarily to
freestyle. She will swim some
individual medley events in dual
meet season but once we get to
conference, the 200 and 500 free
will be her main events. Gaining
experience in those three events
AMBER CARTER
throughout the season will put her
into position to contribute at the
SEC Championships.”
Jessie James is one of LSU’s
best distance swimmers. In her
freshman year, James recorded
LSU’s seventh best all-time mile
swim of 16:49.82 at SEC Championships.
“She had a solid freshman year,
and we look to build off of it after
the training she had at home,”
Geyer said. “We look to really get
her on track in terms of potential.”
Taryn MacKenzie looks to
continue her transition from long
course to short course competition. She finished 24th in the 100
breaststroke after posting LSU’s
fifth-best all-time mark in prelims
at SEC Championships.
“Taryn is really starting to
specialize and focus on the sprint
breaststroke events,” Geyer said.
“She’ll contribute on relay teams
as well as the 100 and 200 breaststroke. We will look to train her to
her full potential in those events.”
Danielle Stirrat owns the LSU
record in the 200 backstroke. Stirrat also swam LSU’s third fastest
all-time 100 back with a mark of
53.96 at SEC Championships.
“We have high expectations
for her going into her sophomore
year,” Geyer said. “She has a goal
and the drive to not only qualify
for NCAA championships but score
there too. As an international
student-athlete, it’s hard to adjust.
So far this year, her training has
been significantly better, and
we’ve adjusted to the short course
format.”
Sophie Weber will make her collegiate debut after redshirting last
year. Weber achieved an Olympic
KARA KOPCSO
trial cut in the 400 meter IM and
is a ten-time All-American.
“This is her first season of dual
meet competition for us,” Geyer
said. “It’s the first time she has
competed since her senior year of
high school. We are excited to see
where her potential can land this
year for us.”
Allie Alter is a talented diver
who qualified for the NCAA Zone
Diving Championships through her
platform score.
“She was a three-event scorer
at SEC Championships,” Shaffer
said. “We are looking for her to
continue to develop and move up
in the ranks. Allie can get into the
Top 12 on platform at conference
championships and qualify for
NCAA Regionals. It’s important
for her to increase her degree of
difficulty while being successful
with her scores.”
PREVIEW
TORREY BUSSEY
a finalist at Junior Nationals in the
100 breaststroke. She was a great
pickup for us with Torrey (Bussey)
graduating. She gets a year to
train with her and that will be a
valuable experience. She will be at
the forefront of our breaststroke
and individual medley events on
the women’s side.”
New Orleans native Angele Cherbonnier proved herself as an elite
Louisiana swimmer. Cherbonnier
was a seven-time individual state
champion and nominated as an
Isidore Newman Scholar.
FRESHMEN:
Mandeville, La., native, Kara
Kopcso is a seven-time individual
state champion and four-time
metro swimmer of the year.
“She was a great in-state talent
pick up for us,” Geyer said. “She
has the potential to make a huge
impact for our team this year and
in her career at LSU. She has the
talent and drive to score at SEC
and NCAA Championships all four
years. She’s going to be good for
our program.”
Colleen O’Neil was named a USA
Swimming Scholastic All-American
for the 2010-11 and 2011-12
seasons. She also competed at
the 2012 Olympic Trials in the 200
individual medley.

before coming to campus. She was

PREVIEW
2013-14 Men’s Season Preview
FRANK GREEF
Swimming coach Dave Geyer and diving coach Doug Shaffer enter their fourth season as co-head coaches.
The LSU men’s program finished sixth at the SEC Championships and improved to 26th overall at NCAA Championships last season.
The squad returns NCAA Honorable Mention All-American
junior Frank Greeff. The Tigers also bring back NCAA qualifiers Sean McKinney, Michael Saco, Michael Young, and Gabe
Rooker.
SENIORS:
Sean McKinney set the LSU record in the three-meter springboard with a
score of 415.50 at the Auburn Diving Invitational. McKinney also qualified for the
NCAA Championships after a fourth place finish on the 3-meter at NCAA Zone ‘D’
Diving Regionals.
“His last year was his breakout year. It started with the school record in the
3-meter, and it continued throughout the season,” LSU diving coach Doug Shaffer said. “He was also a finalist in the SEC Championships. Sean was so close to
making it to the finals at NCAA Championships, and I believe he has it in him to
do it in his last year. He is using missing out on finals last year to inspire and
motivate to get back to NCAA’s.”
Kevin Leong improved significantly throughout his junior campaign. Leong
narrowly missed qualifying for the NCAA Championships at NCAA Zone ‘D’ Diving
Regionals.
“I believe Kevin is on the brink of making a transformation into the elite,”
Shaffer said. “He has always had a great deal of talent and potential. Competitive maturity is something he hasn’t mastered yet, but he has grown over the
past two years. Last year he was a finalist in the 1-meter springboard at SEC
Championships and NCAA Regionals. He could final at SEC’s and qualify and score
at NCAA’s.”
Ricardo Alvarado Jimenez looks to continue his successful career as a Tiger.
6
LSU
2013-14 SWIMMING & DIVING MEDIA GUIDE
The Veracruz, Mexico, native took 13th in the 200 breaststroke and 15th in the
100 breaststroke at SEC Championships.
“He is on track this year, and he is focused,” LSU swimming coach Dave Geyer
said. “We look to get him back to the levels he was at his first year. I think he
can get back to that place and compete nationally for us. It’s good to see him
having the drive his senior year.”
Michael Saco will fight to return to NCAA Championships in his final season.
He was a part of the 200 freestyle relay, the 400 freestyle relay and the 200
medley relay teams at NCAA’s.
“Michael has the ability to swim fast all year in those spring/freestyle events,”
Geyer said. “He will be a key part to those relays that will score at SEC Championships. His goal is to qualify for NCAA Championships in the 50 freestyle.”
In his final year, Shane Coltharp will compete in backstroke and 1000
freestyle events.
“He’s finishing his senior year with a productive summer,” Geyer said. “He has
some great diversity in his training and competition. He will be able to compete
in a lot of different events in dual meet competition.”
JUNIORS:
NCAA Honorable Mention All-American Frank Greeff owns LSU records in the
200 butterfly, 800 freestyle relay and 400 medley relay. The South Africa native
also registered a seventh place swim in the 200 fly at SEC Championships.
“He is the men’s team captain,” Geyer said. “He is a great leader in the water
and the team really looks up to and trains well with him. Qualifying and scoring
at NCAA Championships last year was a huge step in the right direction. He has
his goals set to win at the SEC level and score top eight at NCAA’s. I think Frank
is going to have a big junior year and continue his sucess from last season.”
Transfers Daniel Swietlicki and Marco Gonzalez will prove depth and experience going into the 2013 season. Swietlicki was a part of two NCAA Division II
national championship teams and was an individual champion in the 200 back.
Gonzalez hails from Daytona State and recently competed in the 2013 National
Junior College Athletic Association Championships.
“With Marco it will be interesting to see how his career plays out,” Geyer
said. “I think he has never really had to focus as much as he does now. There
is a great amount of potential and it’s all about fine-tuning what he has to
2013-14 Men’s Season Preview
GABE ROOKER
compete at the SEC level. We hope
that Daniel can focus in and use
that national level experience end
spread it around to our team.”
Matthew Schaefer is the Tiger’s
experienced distance swimmer
who was named to the 2013 SEC
Academic Honor Roll.
“He has come in and become one
of our go to guys in the distance
events,” Geyer said. “We will look to
improve his time in those events,
but he will compete really well at
the conference level.”
Michael Young has proved himself his first two seasons as a Tiger.
The Sydney, Australia native qualified for NCAA Championships last
season and was named to the SEC
All-Freshman team his first year.
“Michael really gained a lot of
experience at NCAA Championships
last season,” Geyer said. “He was
able to observe and see what type
of talent and work ethic goes along
with the upper echelon athletes
in the states. He’s come back and
worked really hard to get better
and make it back to NCAA’s. I hope
in his junior year he will take some
of that experience and use it in
the pool. I think he will continue to
improve in the backstroke events
for us.”
SOPHOMORES:
Gabe Rooker highlights the
sophomore class after a tremendous freshman campaign. Rooker’s
time in the 100 breaststroke was
the fastest in the conference. He
was also a part of the 400-medley
relay team that holds the LSU
record.
“He had a great freshman year
and got a lot of good experience
a SEC and NCAA Championships,”
Geyer said. “Coming into his sophomore year, we wanted to continue
that development. His experience
at NCAA”s is crucial to how he
KEVIN LEONG
performs this year and what he
builds upon. We will obviously work
on improving his times and working
to qualify for NCAA’s.”
Grant Grenfell looks to return to
SEC Championships after a solid
freshman year. Fellow Baton Rouge,
La., native Colin Finnegan looks to
qualify for SEC Championships this
season in the breaststroke.
“Grant had a taste and success
of making SEC’s last year,” Geyer
said. “Competing at the US Open
should help a lot on the experience side. I hope he uses that to
continue improving his times for his
sophomore year. Colin is one of the
hardest working men on our team.
He comes in every day looking to
improve. He had a pretty successful
freshman year with some best
times. We look to continue that
path with him.”
Last season Alex Linge ranked
second on the team in the 100
freestyle and third on the team in
the 100 butterfly. He also qualified
for the SEC Championships.
“He came from Sweden as a top
level recruit, and he has so much
potential,” Geyer said. “I think we
began to tap into that last year,
and we hope he gained from that
experience. I think down the road
he will be able to contribute even
more for our team in the 100 and
200 freestyle.”
FRESHMEN:
The freshmen class is composed
of twelve newcomers that LSU
swimming coach Dave Geyer will
need to make an immediate impact
on the team.
Tyler Crosson comes to Baton
Rouge after an impressive high
school campaign. Crosson owns
many different honors, including
All-State, All-Conference and Scholastic All-American recognition.
“He is a great kid and has a
SEAN MCKINNEY
great work ethic,” Geyer said. “He
definitely has some skills and athleticism that will show off in those
sprint events. We hope to use that
in the relay events too.”
One of the top prospects out of
Texas, Elliot Dewlen will compete
as a distance freestyler for the
Tigers. Dewlen competed in the
2013 USA Swimming Junior National
Championships as well as the 2012
Speedo Championship Series.
“Elliot came in early and got
some training done,” Geyer said. “He
is comfortable in the environment.
We need him to step into the void
left by Craig (Hamilton) in those
distance events. He has goals and
ambitions of scoring high at SEC
Championships along with qualifying for NCAA’s.”
Brandon Goldman is a 2013
World Trials and US Open Qualifier.
He also competed in the 2012 Summer Junior Nationals. At St. Thomas
Aquinas, Goldman paced his team
to four district championships,
three regional championships and a
state runner-up finish.
“He has trained phenomenally
this year,” Geyer said. “There’s a
lot of excitement for him and us in
terms of the potential for his freshman year and career at LSU.”
Devin McCaffrey rounds out
the talented freshman class of
swimmers. McCaffrey was a threetime All-American and four-time
Florida state champion. The Trinity,
Fla., native was named an NISCA
Scholastic All-American and the J.W.
Mitchell Heisman Award Winner.
“He will come in and have some
diversity in his events to compete
in the 100 breaststroke and 100
butterfly,” Geyer said. “He will also
have some sprint and freestyle
within him to compete in freestyle
events.”
Malique Elder will provide early
depth to the spring group.
PREVIEW
MICHAEL YOUNG
“Malique is a raw athlete who
I think will develop really well
early,” Geyer said. “He has all of the
skills it takes to be sucessful and
compete at the SEC level. He’ll give
us some good swims indidvidually
as well as on relay teams.”
Zakary Rowton is an elite diving
prospect out of Texas. He was 10th
in the nation in syncro as well as an
All-American in 2012 and 2013.
“Zak is a newcomer and comes
from an excellent club program,”
Shaffer said. “He is young and
inexperienced, but he has a tremendous amount of talent and potential. I think he will score on three
events at SEC Championships.”

Over the past few decades, the Southeastern Conference has been a constant force in swimming and
diving. In 2013, the SEC took three of the top-five spots at the NCAA women’s championships. The Georgia
women won the NCAA title, its fifth national championship in program history, while Tennessee and Texas A&M
finished third and fourth, respectively. Florida placed sixth to round out the top 10 finishers on the women’s
side. Florida (sixth), Auburn (eighth) and Georgia (10th) had top-10 finishes in the men’s standings to further the
league’s claim as the best conference in swimming and diving.
2013 marked the 44th consecutive season in which the SEC has placed at least one men’s team in the top
10. Since 1969, 115 SEC teams have finished in the NCAA’s top 10. In addition, an individual title was captured by
an SEC team. The SEC now has an all-time total of 163 NCAA individual titles.
On the women’s side, five titles were captured individually to take the SEC’s total to 236 NCAA individual
titles. Since 1982, the Southeastern Conference has placed 90 women’s teams in the NCAA top 10.

“When I first set foot on the LSU campus, I loved the atmosphere. The campus was
beautiful, and everyone from the coaches to the professors had really impressed me. I
did have hesitations before I came on my initial visit, but as soon as I got here, I realized
I belonged at LSU.”
“It was really quite an honor to
be able to play for LSU. Being
from Lockport, everybody down
there is a big LSU fan. Once I
graduated from high school and
had to make the decision where
I was going to play, LSU was the
obvious choice because I had
grown up an LSU fan and it was
a place where my family could
watch me play. LSU really helped
me grow both as a player and a
person. I have nothing but fond
memories of the place.”
“I was basically an in-state
guy and had always thought
about going to LSU for football
and to get a good education. I
made a lot of visits to different
schools in my selection
process, but everything always
pointed toward LSU. My heart
and my family guided me in
that direction not just for the
athletics, but for the academics
as well. From top to bottom
LSU has good people from the
coaches on down the line.”

“LSU is my home. It was a place
where I made my name and a
place where I was able to come
here and have fun. It was the best
three years of my life. While you
are here, have fun and become a
master of time management. You
need to do what you have to do to
make it. Work hard. I have been
blessed. Baton Rouge is the place
that helped me become who I am.
I will never forget this place.”

LSU is one of the few schools where student-athletes go through media
training to enhance their communication skills. Dr. Tommy Karam and
Dr. Shirley White are two experts in the field who give training sessions
to student-athletes here on campus. The Academic Center features a
mock press conference setting to get student-athletes acclimated to
giving interviews in front of both print and electronic media. Karam and
White record the mock interviews on camera and then provide feedback,
allowing student-athletes to become more comfortable and confident
when doing actual interviews.
Academic Center
A $15 million renovation to the Gym Armory in 2002 not
only made it among the nation’s premier academic
centers, but put it at the forefront. Improvements
to the existing center give LSU studentathletes the best opportunity for success
by providing access to the latest
technology, as well as an array of
expanded services.

exclusive home of the swimming
and diving teams for the past 26
seasons.
The complex features a 50-meter
pool, which can be converted into
two 25-meter or 25-yard pools with
the use of bulkheads. Furthermore,
the facility houses a championship
diving well, which was completely
renovated in the summer 2003 with
one- and three-meter springboards
and five-, seven- and 10-meter
platforms.
The programs added new graphics
and signage throughout the venue
in the fall 2011 and upgraded the

GREATS
The following nine individuals are the only athletes to have their jerseys retired by LSU. Men’s basketball has
retired the No. 23 for Pete Maravich, No. 50 for Bob Pettit, Jr., No. 33 for Shaquille O’Neal and No. 40 for Rudy
Macklin. Women’s basketball retired the No. 33 for Seimone Augustus. Football’s only two retired jerseys are
the No. 20 worn by Billy Cannon and the No. 37 worn by Tommy Casanova. Baseball retired the No. 15 in honor
of longtime coach and former athletics director Skip Bertman and the No. 20 for Ben McDonald. Casanova,
Macklin and McDonald joined the prestigious list in May 2009. Augustus became the first woman in LSU
Athletics history to have her jersey retired in January 2010.
50 Bob Pettit
23 Pete Maravich
20 Billy Cannon
33 Shaquille O’Neal
15 Skip Bertman
40 Rudy Macklin
Pettit led LSU to its first NCAA Final Four in 1953
and he later became the first player in NBA history
to exceed the 20,000-plus point barrier. Pettit is
a member of the NBA Hall of Fame, and in 1997, he
was named as one of the top 50 players in NBA
history.
O’Neal was the first pick in the 1992 NBA Draft. He
was named MVP of the league in 2000 and was a
three-time NBA Finals MVP after leading the Los
Angeles Lakers to three World Championships. At
LSU, O’Neal averaged 21.6 points and 13.6 rebounds
for his career, and in 1991, he was named the
World’s Amateur Athlete of the Year as well as
SEC Athlete of the Year and National Player of the
Year. In 1997, he was named as one of the top 50
players in NBA history.
“Pistol Pete,” Maravich still holds the NCAA record
for career points with 3,667 and for career scoring
average with 44.2 points a game. He was selected
the National Player of the Year in 1970 after
leading the Tigers to the NIT Final Four. He scored
50-plus points an amazing 28 times. He went on to
a 10-year professional career and was selected as
one of the NBA’s 50 greatest players in 1997.
A legend in the college baseball ranks, Bertman
created a dynasty at LSU, guiding the Tigers to five
national titles in a 10-year stretch from 1991-2000.
He also coached the United States to a bronze
medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and was an
assistant on the gold medal-winning U.S. squad
in Seoul, Korea, in 1988. Bertman retired from
coaching following the 2001 season and served as
LSU’s athletics director for seven years. Bertman
was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame
in 2006.
One of the true legends of college football in the
South, Cannon was the 1959 Heisman Trophy
winner and helped the Tigers to the 1958 national
title. Cannon’s most memorable performance came
in 1959 against Ole Miss when No. 1 LSU trailed No.
3 Ole Miss 3-0 in the fourth quarter. He fielded a
punt, broke seven tackles and returned it 89 yards
for the 7-3 victory. He went on to a successful
11-year professional career.
Rudy Macklin was a two-time basketball All-American selection during his Tiger career from 1976-81
during which time he became LSU’s all-time leading
rebounder with 1,276 boards and the secondleading scorer in school history behind only the
legendary Pete Maravich with 2,080 points. He led
the Tigers to two Elite Eight appearances and the
1981 Final Four in Philadelphia. He still holds the
school single game rebound record with 32, a mark
like some of the great records in any sport that may
never be broken.

2013-14 SWIMMING & DIVING MEDIA GUIDE
About LSU Retired Jerseys
The retirement of the jerseys of Casanova, McDonald, Macklin and Augustus comes under a new provision of the LSU jersey retirement bylaws that
says the retirement of an athlete’s jersey in a particular sport does not preclude a current student-athlete in that sport from wearing the jersey number in that or any other sport, subject to the discretion of the head coach. This provision applies only to jerseys retired after January 1, 2007, so the
numbers worn by Maravich, Pettit, O’Neal, Cannon and Bertman may never again be worn by future student-athletes in their respective sports. To have
a jersey retired at LSU, an athlete must have completed intercollegiate competition for LSU a minimum of five years prior to nomination. Athletes
must have demonstrated truly unusual and outstanding accomplishments, exceeding and in addition to all criteria used for Hall of Fame selection.
Nominees must have a unanimous vote of support from the Hall of Fame committee.
37 Tommy Casanova
Tommy Casanova is the only three-time AllAmerican in the history of LSU football and is a
member of the College Football Hall of Fame. During
his Tiger career from 1969-71, Casanova personified
versatility for his myriad of talents as he played
offense, defense, returned punts and kickoffs. One
of just two three-time All-SEC performers at LSU, he
played six seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals of
the NFL while earning his medical degree.
19 Ben McDonald
Ben McDonald won the prestigious Golden
Spikes Award, given annually to the nation’s most
outstanding player, in 1989 and is a member of
the College Baseball Hall of Fame. He led LSU to
two College World Series appearances. In 1989,
McDonald was named National Player of the Year by
Baseball America, The Sporting News and Collegiate
Baseball. He was selected by the Baltimore Orioles
as the No. 1 pick in the major league draft in 1989
and went on to enjoy a 10-year major league career
with the Orioles and the Milwaukee Brewers.
33 Seimone Augustus
Seimone Augustus is the only women’s basketball
player in school history to earn State Farm Coaches
Association All-America honors three times: 2004,
2005 and 2006. Augustus became LSU’s first NCAA
National Player of the Year and she claimed the
honor twice in 2005 and 2006. A 2006 graduate of
LSU, Augustus was the 2012 WNBA Finals MVP after
winning a world title. She also led the United States
to Olympic gold medals at the 2008 Beijing and
2012 London Games.

On the Prowl
Mike the Tiger was recently ranked in
the top three in a Bleacher Report poll of
college football’s top live mascots. Mike’s
habitat is one of the most visited attractions in the state of Louisiana located
in the shadows of the north endzone of
Tiger Stadium.
Mike THE TIGER
History of Mike
Few mascots in the country are as
admired as Mike the Tiger. LSU’s live Bengal
mascot serves as the graphic image of all
LSU athletic teams. The school has had
six mascots, with the most recent, Mike
VI, taking over the reign prior to the 2007
national championship football season.
LSU veterinarian Dr. David Baker began
the search for the young tiger after his
predecessor, Mike V, died in May 2007 of
renal failure at the age of 17. The eight-yearold Bengal/Siberian mix, formerly known
as “Roscoe,” was donated to LSU by Great
Cats of Indiana in Idaville, Ind., a nonprofit
sanctuary and rescue facility for big cats
and other large carnivores.
Mike’s ride through Tiger Stadium
before home games in a travel trailer
topped by the LSU cheerleaders is a school
tradition. Before entering the stadium,
his trailer on wheels is parked next to the
opponent’s locker room in the southeast

make their way past Mike’s trailer to reach

Tradition dictates that the Tigers will
score a touchdown for every growl issued by
Mike before a football game. For many years,
Mike was prompted to roar by pounding on
the cage. Objections of cruel punishment
brought about the use of recorded growls

to play to the crowd before the games. That
practice was discontinued shortly afterward
and today Mike participates in the pregame
tradition without provocation.
In the mid-1980’s, pranksters cut the
locks on Mike IV’s cage and freed him in
the early-morning hours just days before
the annual LSU-Tulane clash. Mike roamed
free, playfully knocking down several small
pine trees in the area, before being trapped
in the Bernie Moore Track Stadium where
police used tranquilizer guns to capture and
return the Bengal Tiger to his home.
The incident was reminiscent of a
kidnapping of Mike I many years ago by
Tulane students before a Tiger-Green Wave
battle.

the field of Tiger Stadium.
The original Mike was purchased
from the Little Rock Zoo in 1936
for $750, with money contributed
by the student body. Originally
known as “Sheik” at the time
of his purchase, his name was
changed to Mike to honor Mike
Chambers who served as LSU’s
athletic trainer when the first
mascot was purchased. The
first Mike was housed in the
Baton Rouge Zoo for one year
before a permanent home was
constructed near Tiger Stadium.
Mike I reigned for 20 years
before dying of pneumonia.
Mike’s Habitat
In 2005, a new environment (above) was created for Mike that is 15,000 square feet in size with lush planting, a large live oak tree, a beautiful waterfall and
a stream evolving from a rocky backdrop overflowing with plants and trees. The habitat has, as a backdrop, an Italianate tower - a campanile - that creates
a visual bridge to the Italianate architectural vernacular that is the underpinning of the image of the entire beautiful LSU campus. This spectacular habitat
features state-of-the-art technologies, research, conservation and husbandry programs, as well as educational, interpretive and recreational activities. It is, in
essence, one of the largest and finest Tiger habitats in the United States.
Sneaux Day
On Dec. 11, 2008, a winter storm blanketed Baton Rouge that hadn’t been seen in decades.
The early white Christmas gave Mike VI, LSU’s live Bengal/Siberian tiger, a chance to relax
and play in nearly two inches of accumulation.

The second Mike served a brief
reign, lasting only through the 1957
season before dying of pneumonia
in the spring of 1958. He was born
at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans
and came to LSU on Sept. 28, 1956.
The young tiger was held overnight
in Tiger Stadium and unveiled Sept.
29, the opening day of the football
season.
Just in time for the 1958 national
championship season, Mike III was
purchased from the Woodland Park
Zoo in Seattle, Wash., following a
“national search” by then-athletic
director Jim Corbett. The student
body contributed $1,500 for the
purchase of the tiger. Mike III
served as mascot for 18 seasons,
dying after the only losing season
of his reign, as LSU posted a 5-6
record in 1975.
Mike IV reigned over Tiger athletics
for 14 years after being donated
to the school by August A. Busch
III from the Dark Continent
Amusement Park in Tampa, Fla,
on Aug. 29, 1976. Born on May
15, 1974, Mike’s age and health
were determining factors in his
retirement to the Baton Rouge Zoo
in 1990. Mike IV died of old age in
March of 1995 at the age of 21.
Mike V was donated by Dr. Thomas
and Caroline Atchison of the Animal
House Zoological Park in Moulton,
Ala. Dr. Sheldon Bivin of the LSU
School of Veterinary Medicine
traveled to Alabama and brought
the baby tiger back to Baton Rouge.
Born Oct. 18, 1989, the new tiger
was introduced to LSU fans at a
basketball game against Alabama
in February of 1990. He officially
began his reign on April 30, 1990,
when he was moved into the tiger
habitat across from Tiger Stadium.
Mike V died on May 18, 2007, at the
age of 17.
Mike VI arrived in Baton Rouge
on Aug. 25, 2007, thanks to the
donation by Great Cats of Indiana.
He was officially designated as the
successor to Mike V on Sept. 8,
when LSU played host to Virginia
Tech. Six days later, on Sept. 14,
2007, a ceremony was held to honor
Mike V and dedicate the habitat to
Mike VI. The eight-year-old Bengal/
Siberian mix, formerly known as
“Roscoe,” reigned over a football
national title in his first year and
most recently, a 2011 Southeastern
Conference championship and
perfect regular season.

LSU
Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics
Joe Alleva
LSU Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics
Joe Alleva continues to bring unprecedented national recognition to LSU as Vice Chancellor and Director
of Athletics. Under Alleva’s leadership, LSU enjoys one of the country’s premier athletics programs with
success on and off the field of competition. Now in his sixth year at LSU, Alleva is dedicated to athletic
and academic excellence, and is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary
for student-athletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. Alleva joined the LSU
family on April 4, 2008 after a highly successful tenure as director of athletics at Duke University for 10
years. Alleva’s role at LSU was further expanded in August of 2009 when vice chancellor was added to his
title by the LSU Board of Supervisors. It is the first time in school history that the director of athletics has
also held a vice chancellor position.
Alleva is currently serving a fiveyear term on the prestigious NCAA Men’s
Basketball Committee, reinforcing his
position as one of the most respected
athletic administrators in the country.
Upon his arrival at LSU, Alleva
unveiled a strategic master plan for the
LSU athletics program -- “LSU: Thru and
True” -- to ensure the advancement and
future of LSU Athletics as an exemplary
program. The central mission of the
plan is to create an environment for
student-athletes to reach their ultimate
potential, prepare them to be champions
in life and to set out goals and values for
the entire athletics program.
Alleva’s vision will keep LSU among
the nation’s leaders in athletic facilities.
He launched an aggressive fund-raising
campaign to replace several hundred
windows in Tiger Stadium that were
in disrepair, and a new coating to the
facade of the structure has given the
old stadium new life. A renovated gating
system on the west side of the stadium
debuted in the fall of 2012 to include
a plaza that celebrates LSU’s football
national championships and recognition
walls that honor Tiger All-Americans. A
new plaza will open on the north end of
the stadium in the fall of 2013, further
enriching the experience of visitors to
the LSU campus.
A new lighting system was installed
prior to last season that turns the
upper archways of the north end of
the stadium purple and gold and lights
the iconic “LSU” on the stadium’s north
scoreboard. In addition, “Tiger Stadium”
in 10-foot tall illuminated letters sits
just below the west upper deck facing
Nicholson Drive.
Also in the fall of 2012, LSU began
construction on an expansion of the
South End Zone of the stadium -- a
project that will add premium seating,
general public seating and two stateof-the-art video boards -- continuing
an effort to augment one of the most
iconic venues in all of college sports. The
project will be completed in time for the
start of the 2014 football season.
Under Alleva’s direction, LSU’s
world-renowned track and field program
received a state-of the-art running
surface in 2010 when a new track was
installed in Bernie Moore Stadium and
extensive renovations to the Tiger
soccer facility were completed in the fall
of 2011.
Alleva directed a major renovation
to the University Club golf course that
was completed in September 2010 and
allows the LSU men’s and women’s golf
teams to compete on one of the most
challenging courses in the country. The
renovated course helped prepare Tiger
32 LSU
golfers John Peterson and Austin Ernst,
respectively, to win 2011 NCAA men’s
and women’s individual championships,
marking the first time both titles were
claimed by players from the same
school. The LSU men’s team in 2013
played host to an NCAA Regional for the
first time in the school’s illustrious golf
history.
Future plans include a new
gymnastics practice facility, a new
tennis complex featuring indoor and
outdoor courts, and a state-of-the-art
Nutrition Center for Student-Athletes,
a facility that will house full-time chefs
and nutritionists and provide the best
dietary selections for all Fighting Tiger
competitors.
LSU’s prominence was evident
in the final 2012-13 Learfield Sports
Director’s Cup standings that recognize
the nation’s best athletic programs, as
the Tigers finished in the Top 20 for the
eighth consecutive year.
The year was highlighted by another
10-win season and bowl appearance for
the Fighting Tiger football team, which
recorded a double-digit victory total for
the sixth time in eight years. The men’s
basketball program was rejuvenated
by first-year coach Johnny Jones, who
directed the Tigers to a 19-12 mark while
placing LSU back into consideration for
a postseason berth. Women’s basketball
continued its rise under second-year
coach Nikki Caldwell, who guided the
Lady Tigers to LSU’s first Sweet 16 berth
in five years.
The 2013 Fighting Tiger baseball
team established a school record for
victories with 57 and earned the school’s
16th College World Series appearance
while capturing SEC Western Division
and SEC Tournament titles. The
softball squad won the SEC West and
played host to an NCAA Regional in
Tiger Park before record crowds. The
LSU gymnastics team reached the
prestigious Super Six for the third time
in six seasons, and the women’s track
team, led by Bowerman Award winner
and national sprint champion Kimberlyn
Duncan, placed fourth in the final NCAA
outdoor standings.
But the 2012-13 year was about
more than just athletic success. Living
up to Alleva’s mantra of “competition,
classroom, community,” LSU studentathletes logged more than 4,475 hours
in community service work across 20
sports through LSU’s Geaux Givers
program. And a total of 89 proud
Tigers received their degrees from the
university during LSU commencement
ceremonies in December and May.
The Tigers in 2011-12 finished fourth
in both the men’s and women’s Capital
2013-14 SWIMMING & DIVING MEDIA GUIDE
One Cup competition that identifies
athletic excellence. LSU was one of only
two schools in the country – and the only
one in the SEC -- to rank in the top four
in both categories.
Eighteen of the Tigers’ 20 varsity
sports participated in NCAA postseason
competition in 2011-12. The year was
highlighted by the football team’s
undefeated regular season, an SEC
championship and an appearance in the
BCS National Championship Game. The
Lady Tiger track and field team captured
the SEC championship while the LSU
softball squad advanced to the Women’s
College World Series. The Fighting
Tiger baseball team won the 2012 SEC
championship, and LSU led the nation in
attendance for the 17th straight season.
The 2011-12 season marked the first
time in school history that LSU won
both the SEC title in both football and
baseball in the same athletic year.
Outstanding performances of the
2010-11 athletic season included the
exploits of the Fighting Tiger football
squad that posted an 11-2 mark –
including a Cotton Bowl victory – and
finished the season ranked No. 8 in
the nation. The year also featured Top
5 national finishes both indoors and
outdoors by the men’s and women’s
track and field teams.
In 2008-09, all 20 LSU sports
competed in NCAA postseason play for
the first time in school history and the
Tiger baseball team won the national
championship. LSU ranked second
among Southeastern Conference teams
in the Learfield Director’s Cup All-Sports
standings and finished in the Top 20 for
the sixth year in a row.
With a strong commitment to
academics, Alleva ensures that the Cox
Communications Academic Center for
Student-Athletes is a first-class facility
that provides student-athletes the
resources necessary for success in the
classroom and personal development.
The facility was recently enhanced
by the addition of a media training
center that gives student-athletes
valuable assistance in improving their
communications skills.
And with a strong emphasis on
community service and outreach
programs, the implementation under
Alleva’s direction of the “Geaux Givers”
program fosters a relationship between
the local community and LSU studentathletes, who regularly participate in
philanthropic events. In addition, Alleva
has bolstered the department’s L-Club
program to reach out and connect with
former student-athletes.
Alleva oversees a staff of
outstanding coaches and he has made
critical additions to LSU’s coaching
staff in recent years. He hired former
LSU guard Johnny Jones in April 2012
to breathe new life and enthusiasm
into the men’s basketball program and
last year added Julia Sell as the new
women’s tennis coach. In 2011, he lured
the dynamic Nikki Caldwell to LSU to
coach the Lady Tiger basketball team
and then hired Beth Torina to direct the
Tiger softball program, both of whom
immediately returned their respective
programs to NCAA postseason success.
Alleva is an innovator with bold
ideas that benefit not only LSU but all
of Greater Baton Rouge. He has been
instrumental in the planning of the
Bayou Country Superfest, a two-day
country music concert and festival held
in Tiger Stadium each spring. The event
attracts nearly 100,000 visitors to the
LSU campus and makes a tremendous
economic impact upon the local
community.
Alleva has served on numerous
national committees throughout his
career including the Football Bowl
Certification Committee, the NCAA
Division I Championships/Competition
Cabinet and several Southeastern
Conference and Atlantic Coast
Conference committees.
He became director of athletics
at Duke in 1998 and his impressive
tenure there propelled the university
into the ranks of America’s top allaround collegiate programs. Among his
outstanding list of accomplishments
includes the greatest 10-year period in
Duke Athletics, winning more ACC and
NCAA championships than in any other
decade in school history.
Alleva, whose hometown is Suffern,
N.Y., majored in Finance at Lehigh
University and received his bachelor’s
degree in 1975. While at Lehigh, Alleva
was the quarterback of the football
team and team captain in 1974. Alleva
also played on the Lehigh baseball team.
He served as a graduate assistant
football coach and earned an MBA in
1976.
While at Duke, Alleva played a key
role in Durham’s community sports
scene. He started Little League Baseball
in Durham over 20 years ago, and also
began the American Legion baseball
program.
He is a member of the North
Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame,
Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the
Rockland County Hall of Fame.
Alleva and his wife, Annie, have
three children, J.D., Jeff, and Jenny. Joe
and Annie recently welcomed their first
grandchild, Harper, the daughter of
Jenny and husband Kyle Young.

COACHES
Co-Head Coach David Geyer
DAVID GEYER
Co-Head Coach
Head Swimming Coach
Fourth Season as Co-Head Coach (Eighth at LSU)
When Dave Geyer was promoted to co-head coach of the LSU
men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs alongside Doug
Shaffer in April 2010, he envisioned a pair of teams that could
consistently compete among the top 15 in the nation and top five in the
Southeastern Conference.
After a three-year run that has seen the men’s team break 10
individual and two relay records and the women’s team break 12
individual and three relay records, Geyer, entering his fourth season as
head swimming coach, has put the men’s and women’s swimming teams
on the map, both nationally and in the SEC. In addition to the success in
the pool, Geyer and Shaffer’s program has excelled in the classroom, as
witnessed by 22 student-athletes being named to the 2013 SEC Winter
Academic Honor Roll.
During the 2012-13 season, both programs enjoyed postseason
success. The men’s program broke eight team records and the women’s
team broke two team records.
The LSU men’s team sent seven swimmers and one diver based on
four individual qualifiers and a pair of NCAA ‘A’ cuts in relays to the
2013 NCAA Championships. The eight competitors represented the
largest LSU contingent with Geyer and Shaffer at the helm. Seniors
Craig Hamilton and Andrei Tuomola, junior diver Sean McKinney
and sophomore Frank Greeff qualified for the meet individually. The
individual qualifiers were joined by senior Nick Kunkel, junior Michael
Saco, sophomore Michael Young and freshman Gabe Rooker on all five
relays.
At the NCAA Championships, all three individual qualifying swimmers
scored points at the meet and guided LSU to a 26th place finish with
24 team points overall. The 26th place finish marked the second top-26
finish in the past three seasons.
Hamilton picked up LSU’s first NCAA First-Team All-American honor
since 2007. Hamilton finished seventh in the 1650 freestyle with a
season low swim of 14:49.12 and scored 12 team points. Over the
course of his career at LSU, Hamilton swam the 10 fastest mile times in
LSU history and leaves LSU with four program records, including a mile
time of 14:45.94. The Edingburgh, Scotland native steadily improved
in the event each year, beginning with a last place finish at NCAA’s his
freshman year and ending with three straight top-16 finishes.
Tuomola arrived at LSU with his eyes set on capturing three
individual long standing records and left the Tigers as a record holder
in three individual events and two relay events. After a quartet of NCAA
Honorable Mention All-American honors his freshman season, Tuomola
earned a pair of individual All-American awards with top-16 finishes
in the 50 free and the 100 breaststroke. In the process, Tuomola
shattered LSU’s 25 year-old 50 free record with a time of 19.57, broke
LSU’s 16 year-old 100 breast record with a time of 52.76 and tied LSU’s
25 year-old record in the 100 free with a time of 43.22.
Greeff enters his third year as the most decorated returning men’s
swimmer after setting LSU’s 200 butterfly record and swimming on
a pair of team record relays. The sophomore earned his first career
NCAA Honorable Mention All-American honor and became LSU’s third AllAmerican in the 200 fly with a time of 1:44.06, which placed him 12th.
On the women’s side, junior Torrey Bussey and freshman diver Cassie
Weil qualified for the NCAA Championships individually. Bussey was
joined on the 200 medley relay by junior Rainey White, sophomore
Amber Cater and freshman Caley Oquist.
After returning from an offseason injury, Bussey qualified for her
third consecutive national championships. The Cary, N.C., native placed
21st in the 100 breaststroke (1:00.45) at the NCAA Championships,
which marked her highest finish in the event at the national meet.
Weil picked up a pair of NCAA Honorable Mention All-American honors
on the three-meter and the platform and scored 11 team points at the
NCAA Championships.
At the first SEC Championships since conference expansion, LSU’s
36 LSU
2013-14 SWIMMING & DIVING MEDIA GUIDE
men’s team finished in sixth place with a team total of 753.5 points.
The women’s team came in seventh with a composite score of 494. The
men’s team picked up NCAA ‘A’ cuts in the 400 medley relay (3:10.42)
and the 800 free relay (6:25.67) and the women’s team picked up a
NCAA ‘A’ cut in the 200 medley relay (1:37.80). The men’s team broke
seven records at the meet (two of which were broken again at NCAA’s)
and the women’s team broke one record. Rooker and Weil were both
named to the SEC All-Freshman team.
The NCAA automatic relay teams consisted of Oqusit, Bussey, White
and Carter in the 200 medley relay, Young, Rooker, Greef and Tuomola in
the 400 medley relay and Greeff, Hamilton, sophomore Dillon Love and
Kunke in the 800 free relay.
At SEC’s, Tuomola (100 breast) and junior diver Daniel Helm (onemeter springboard) captured a pair of bronze medals for LSU. Tuomola
nailed a fifth place swim in the 50 free with a time of 19.76, which was
his highest SEC finish in the event. He also took eighth in the 100 free.
Hamilton took fourth in the mile with a time of 14:53.10 and finished
sixth in the 500 free with a time 4:19.57.
Freshman Danielle Stirrat picked up LSU’s 200 back record with an
NCAA ‘B’ cut time of 1:55.21 and touched second in the ‘C’ final. The
rookie also picked up LSU’s third fastest all-time 200 free time of
1:47.12 in a third place finish in the ‘C’ final.
Bussey achieved LSU’s second fastest ever 100 breast time of
1:00.30 and took second in the consolation final. Bussey finished sixth
in the consolation final of the 200 IM with a time of 1:59.67.
Kunkel posted LSU’s record in the 200 back (1:43.81) in the prelims,
and proceeded to win the consolation final with a mark of 1:44.28.
Greeff registered a seventh place swim in the 200 fly (1:44.58) and
swam a strong 100 fly time of 47.16, which was the program’s third
best all-time mark. Greeff also swam LSU’s third best all-time 200 free
(1:36.48) in a leadoff split on the 800 free relay.
Young clocked his 200 back in 1:45.64 and moved up to fifth in
the program’s all-time record book during the prelims. Young barley
missed his top time with a 1:45.65 in the ‘B’ final. Love registered LSU’s
sixth best all-time 200 back of 1:45.67, which was an NCAA ‘B’ cut, and
finished third in the ‘C’ final.
Junior Ricardo Alvarado Jimenez notched a 200 breast of 1:58.03,
moved up to fourth all-time in the team record books and finished fifth
in the consolation final. Rooker ended his 200 breast prelim run with
a time of 1:58.33 and finished seventh in the ‘B’ final (1:58.76). Rooker
also moved up to third LSU’s record book after a third place swim in the
consolation final of the 100 breast and a time of 53.85.
Carter finished 15th in the 50 free with a time of 22.71 after
swimming LSU’s fifth best all-time 50 free of 22.58 in the prelims.
Senior Sara Haley, LSU’s record holder in the 200 fly, touched the wall
first in the ‘C’ final of the 200 fly with a mark of 1:57.98.
The 2010-11 and 2011-12 LSU men’s team finished the SEC
Championships in the top-five in consecutive seasons for the first
time since the 1998-99 and 1999-00 campaigns. Similarly, the 2010-11
and 2011-12 women’s team enjoyed the finest two-year run within the
conference since the 1992-93 and 1993-94 seasons.
In 2011-12, seven women, including six underclassmen, and two men
qualified for the national meet. The team collectively broke six records.
Eight LSU swimmers and two newcomers competed at the 2012 US
Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb.
In 2010-11 the LSU women’s team delivered its highest NCAA finish
in 18 seasons, registering 14th at the 2011 NCAA Championships. Eight
swimmers earned invitations to the national meet -- LSU’s highest
qualifying contingent in more than 15 years -- and five athletes
combined to claim 14 All-America honors.
In 2010-11, Jane Trepp became the first swimmer in program history
to capture NCAA first-team All-America status in all three of her
individual races in a single season with top-eight finishes in the 50 free,
Co-Head Coach David Geyer
100 fly and 100 breast. Amanda Kendall joined her teammate Trepp as
a first-team All-American in the 100 fly, won the consolation final of the
100 free and also posted a top-16 finish in the 50 free.
Prior to the accomplishments of Trepp and Kendall at NCAA’s, the LSU
women’s program had not seen an individual swimming All-American
since 1997, and both boasted top times ranked in the top 10 nationally
in their three best races by the end of the season.
Under Geyer’s guidance, Kendall exploded on the International scene
after her performances at the 2011 ConocoPhillips US Nationals and the
2011 Pan American Games.
Kendall achieved three Pan Am Games records in the 4x100-meter
free (3:40.66), 4x200-meter free (8:01.18) and 4x100-meter medley
(4:01.00) relay. She also earned a gold medal in the 100 free with a
lifetime best of 54.75. Her 100 free mark was the seventh fastest time
in the 100 free by an American in the 2011 cycle.
Kendall qualified for the Pan Am Games after setting four lifetime
bests and placing in four finals at the 2011 National Championships.
She made the ‘A’ Final and finished seventh overall with a time of 55.08
in the 100m free and competed in the consolation finals of the 50m
free (25.84), 100m butterfly (1:00.00) and 200m free (2:00.14).
On the men’s side, Hannes Heyl and Hamilton gave the Tigers a
26th-place finish at NCAA’s, their highest finish since 2005.
Heyl proved to be one of the top 100 butterfly performers in the
country, racing to a new program record of 45.77 in the NCAA prelims
before collecting his first career first-team All-America accolade with
a seventh-place finish in the championship final. Hamilton took 15th
and aquired his first career honorable mention All-America honor in the
1650 free.
In addition to their success at NCAA’s, the men’s and women’s
teams burst onto the scene and turned some heads both nationally
and in the conference with their stellar performances at the 2011 SEC
Championships. The Lady Tigers and Tigers each placed fifth at SEC’s,
marking the first time both teams posted top-five finishes at the
conference championships in a single season since 2000.
However, the squads stood out way beyond the team standings with
a plethora of individual and relay accolades. At the conclusion of the
four-day swimming competition, LSU swimmers combined to win an SEC
individual championship, collect 14 medals and shatter an SEC record
and 12 program marks, while four athletes earned All-SEC recognition
and two made the SEC All-Freshmen team.
No swimmer had a bigger impact than Trepp, who became the first
Lady Tiger swimmer in 14 seasons to win an SEC title, and she did it in
record-setting fashion, breaking the league mark with a blistering time
of 58.94. The senior was just the ninth individual in U.S. Open history to
reach the wall in under 59 seconds.
Kendall raced to a pair of bronze medals in the 100 free and 100 fly
and played a major role in helping the 200 medley and 200 free relays
to medal finishes. Her 22.87 split on the fly leg of the 200 medley relay
coupled with Trepp’s 26.57 breaststroke split spearheaded the squad
of Ruimerman, Trepp, Kendall and Goates to second-place and an NCAA
automatic qualifying time of 1:36.91.
Haley was the bronze medal winner in the 200 fly with a then
program-record 1:56.82 clocking. Haley went from 18th in the event
as a freshman to third in the league in just one season under Geyer’s
tutelage.
Bussey, an SEC All-Freshmen Team performer and NCAA Qualifier,
advanced to a pair of championship finals at the conference meet and
broke program records in the 200 breast and 200 IM. Bussey was the
Lady Tigers’ highest NCAA finisher in the 200 IM since 1997 and first
swimmer to race in the 200 breast at the national competition since
2003.
Heyl swam to a bronze medal in the 100 fly and reached the ‘A’ final
of the 100 back with a personal best of 47.15, while Hamilton claimed
his third program record at the conference meet with a 4:22.17 clocking
in the 500 free.
Tuomola also took a step forward in his second season, qualifying
for the championship final of the 50 free and 100 breast at SEC’s and
recording a new personal best and program top-10 time in the 50 free.
Furthermore, Trepp was named LSU’s most decorated scholar-athlete
as she was the school’s female nomination for the prestigious SEC
H. Boyd McWhorter Postgraduate Scholarship, the highest academic
honor bestowed by the conference each year. In addition to her
phenomenal athletic accomplishments, the senior also sported a 3.8
cumulative grade point average in psychology.
Prior to his promotion to co-head coach, Geyer spent five seasons
as an assistant coach at LSU where he worked with all phases of the
programs. He was instrumental in helping numerous athletes shatter
program records and earn All-America honors while also playing a vital
role in the recruitment of top-level international student-athletes.
In 2008, Geyer trained former LSU standout and Olympian Miko
Malberg prior to the Beijing Olympic Games where the former All-
COACHES
American went on to set an Estonian national record in the 50-meter
freestyle (22.37) and place 25th overall.
He also traveled to Croatia for the 2008 European Short-Course
Championships as a member of the Estonian National coaching staff
where he guided Malberg to a pair of national records and helped
an Estonian relay qualify for its first championship final at that
competition.
Geyer graduated from Shippensburg with a bachelor’s degree in
psychology in 1999 before receiving his master’s degree in counseling
in 2001. He is married to the former Lyndi Croft of State College, Pa. The
couple has two daughters, Maddilyn (8) and Kayda (4).

COACHES
Co-Head Coach Doug Shaffer
DOUG SHAFFER
Co-Head Coach
Head Diving Coach
Fourth Season as Co-Head Coach (12th at LSU)
The LSU diving program is one of storied tradition, and no one
has had a more profound impact in the Tigers’ recent success than
Doug Shaffer.
Entering his 12th overall season with LSU, Shaffer was promoted
to co-head coach of the men’s and women’s swimming and diving
programs along with Dave Geyer in April 2010 and enters his fourth
season as head diving coach.
After three seasons, Shaffer and Geyer have LSU on the path
to becoming one of the nation’s elite programs. During the 2012-13
season, both programs enjoyed postseason success with one female
diver and one male diver qualifying for the NCAA Championships. In
addition, all seven divers scored points at the SEC Championships in
every event they competed in.
Known for having an eye for talent, Shaffer scours the country for
gifted divers who fit the program and molds them into some of LSU’s
most successful student-athletes. In his previous 11 years, Shaffer
has produced 14 NCAA All-Americans, two Southeastern Conference
champions, an SEC Diver of the Year and seven SEC Freshman Divers
of the Year.
Freshman Cassie Weil showed that her time as a Tiger was going
to be a success after setting LSU’s three-meter record (372.68) in
her first collegiate dual. Weil excelled in her first collegiate season,
picking up a pair of NCAA Honorable Mention All-American honors and
scoring 11 team points at the NCAA Championships. At NCAA’s, the
Hillsboro, Ore., native dove to 11th on the three-meter with a total of
337.50 and to 12th on the platform with a score of 287.15.
Weil qualified for NCAA’s on the three-meter at the NCAA Zone
‘D’ Diving Regional with a 12-line total of 662.70, including a six-line

conference championships and named to the SEC All Freshman Team.
Junior Sean McKinney showed the potential in his third season
that Shaffer had been praising since the moment McKinney stepped
on campus. The Springfield, Va., native set the LSU all-time threemeter record with a score of 415.50 and qualified for his first
career NCAA Championships. At the NCAA Zone ‘D’ Diving Regionals,
McKinney qualified for the NCAA Championships with a fourth place

divers that have come through LSU. Both divers became NCAA
Honorable-Mention All-Americans after scoring points at the NCAA
Championships.
Helm became LSU’s 13th NCAA All-American on the platform after
diving to a 12th place finish with a total of 324.50 at NCAA’s. The
Beaverton, Ore. native showed his diversity in different events after

Bettridge became Shaffer’s sixth SEC Freshman Diver of the Year
and was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team. She set the program’s
three-meter dive record (366.85) with a bronze medal performance
at the SEC Championships. She also dove to sixth in the one-meter

(352.60) and fourth best platform (314.75) scores. He secured his
first championship final at SEC Championships and posted a fifth
place performance on the one-meter (352.60).
Moreover, Shaffer’s divers continue to shine academically as
his athletes have been awarded LSU Scholar-Athlete of the Year
honors four times, and numerous divers have received prestigious
post-graduate scholarships. Vieke was named the Tiger Athletic
Foundation Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year and a recipient of the
Wally Pontiff Jr., Academic Excellence Award during his junior season.
The Indianapolis, Ind. native was named a finalist for the prestigious
SEC H. Boyd McWorther Post-Graduate Scholarship his senior year
and graduated with a perfect 4.0 cumulative grade point average in
management.
The LSU diving corps embarked upon another successful season
in 2010-11, helping both the men’s and women’s teams register topfive finishes at the SEC Championships for the first time since 2000.
Furthermore, all six divers -- including four underclassmen -qualified and competed at the NCAA Zone Diving Regional, while Helm
developed into one of the conference’s top newcomers.
After a fine first-year campaign in which she garnered SEC
Freshman Diver of the Year honors, St. Germain took her craft to

Co-Head Coach Doug Shaffer
at SEC’s and receiving SEC All-Freshmen Team recognition. Helm also
posted program top-five scores in all three events and was named SEC
Male Diver of the Week on two separate occasions during the regular
season.
Vieke, McKinney and Schmidt also tallied career-best and program
top-10 scores at different points in the season.
Prior to his promotion, Shaffer served eight seasons as LSU’s diving
coach where he maintained the program’s tradition of excellence.
In 2009-10, St. Germain became the fifth LSU diver in six seasons
to emerge as the SEC Freshman Diver of the Year and was named to
the SEC All-Freshmen Team, while Gemberling proved to be one of the
most improved divers in the SEC in his sophomore campaign.
In 2008-09, the Tigers’ diving coach helped one of his athletes
earn an invitation to the NCAA Championships for the seventhconsecutive season as senior Niko Dalman competed at the national
meet for the third time in his career. Dalman also added the school’s
one-meter record to his collection and finished his career as the LSU
record-holder in both the one- and three-meter springboard events.
The 2007-08 season proved to be Shaffer’s finest season as the
Tigers’ diving coach. Shaffer coached sophomore Rachel Ware to her
third All-America accolade in two years with a 12th-place finish in
the one-meter springboard at NCAA’s. His athletes also had a superb
showing at SEC’s as a conference-high four LSU divers received medals
for placing in the top three of their respective events.
Ware and senior Paige Brown enjoyed two of the best competitions
of their careers at that meet with both departing Tuscaloosa, Ala., as
conference champions. Ware won the one-meter championship and
captured the runner-up spot in the three-meter en route to SEC Female
Diver of the Year honors. Brown beat out 20 other competitors to take
the platform title with a school-record score of 300.30.
Both were also named to the All-SEC First Team, the first Lady
Tigers to receive all-conference recognition since 2003. Shaffer earned
the SEC Women’s Diving Coach of the Year award for his efforts in
guiding the duo to conference excellence.
Under Shaffer’s tutelage, the men’s side finished second in the
points standings among diving teams at the conference meet, and a
pair of Tiger divers reached the awards podium with record-shattering
performances. Dalman took home a medal in the three-meter
springboard, breaking a then-LSU record in the event with a score of
391.55 to place third. Freshman Michael Neubacher followed two days
later with a runner-up finish in the platform competition, crushing the
school record with a robust six-dive total of 431.55.
Outside the pool, Brown truly exemplified the meaning of a studentathlete, joining a long list of former LSU divers who have excelled at the
highest levels academically. The Zionsville, Ind., native, who graduated
Summa Cum Laude with a degree in biological engineering, became the
third LSU diver in two seasons to be named a finalist for the esteemed
SEC H. Boyd McWhorter Post-graduate Scholarship. Former standouts
Hali Saucier and Andrew Keane were nominated in 2007.
She was also the first athlete in school history to earn a spot in
the exclusive Tiger Twelve, which recognizes 12 graduating seniors
who have shown great academic success and contributed significantly
to the Baton Rouge community, and received the Wally Pontiff Jr.
Academic Excellence Award, which goes to the school’s top scholarathletes. In addition, Brown registered the team’s highest grade point
average and was selected to give the commencement speech at the
engineering school’s graduation in 2008.
Shaffer’s list of Tiger All-Americans began in 2002-03 upon
his arrival. His guidance enabled three divers to earn five NCAA AllAmerican performances, including junior Jessica Wantz and seniors
Barb Gorst and Kyle VanArsdall. Wantz finished fourth in the threemeter springboard. Both Gorst and VanArsdall scored in the top-16 in
the platform.
The following season Shaffer guided Wantz to a third-place finish
overall in the three-meter at NCAA’s, which gave her first-team AllAmerica honors. A third career All-America finish followed in the onemeter.
In 2004-05, Dalman entered his freshman season with little
experience. Seven months later, he embarked on a 12th-place finish
as an All-American in the one-meter. He also became the first diver in
school history to be named SEC Freshman Diver of the Year. Dalman
added to his accolades with a top-12 finish in the platform at the 2006
NCAA Championships.
Shaffer was no stranger to leading a successful collegiate diving
program before taking the job in Baton Rouge. He was the head coach
at UCLA in 1988-89 and then at the University of Minnesota from 198996.
He has coached the United States in numerous international
competitions since 1989, including the U.S. National Diving teams in
China, Sweden, Spain and the United States. Shaffer served as the
assistant competition manager during the 1996 Olympic Games in
COACHES
Atlanta and was recruited to be the head diving coach at the Sheffield,
England, High Performance Center. There, he coached five Olympians on
the Lottery Funded World Class Performance Program but declined a
four-year contract extension for the opportunity to coach at LSU.
Shaffer graduated from UCLA in 1986 with a B.A. degree in history.
He was an 11-time U.S. National champion, the 1986 NCAA Diver of
the Year and the NCAA one-meter and three-meter champion in 1986
for the Bruins. One of the few divers to defeat the legendary Greg
Louganis, Shaffer ousted the four-time Olympian five times in 1987,
three of which were in U.S. National competition.
Shaffer was a silver medalist in the three-meter at the 1987 Pan
American Games and won a gold medal at the 1987 USA-USSR dual
meet in the three-meter competition. An Olympic Trials finalist in 1984
and 1988, he retired from competition in 1988 and moved into the
nation’s coaching ranks.
Shaffer is a native of Canton, Ohio and is married to Dr. Tracy
Stephenson Shaffer, an LSU associate professor in communication
studies. The couple has a eight-year-old daughter, Sara Melissa.

Christopher Ip enters his second year with LSU as an assistant
coach after serving as the head swimming and diving coach at
Clemson for 10 seasons. Ip was instrumental in helping LSU qualify
eight student-athletes to the Men’s NCAA Championships and five
student-athletes to the Women’s NCAA Championships.
Ip also assisted in LSU shattering seven men’s swimming records
and one women’s swimming record during the 2012-13 campaign.
Under Ip’s watch, five of the swimmers he worked closely with
qualified for the NCAA Championships. The most notable of the bunch,
senior Andrei Tuomola, broke three individual records and one relay
record during the championship portion of the season.
At NCAA’s, Tuomola earned a pair of individual All-American awards
with top-16 finishes in the 50 free and the 100 breaststroke. At SEC’s,
Tuomola captured the bronze medal in the 100 breast and finished
in the top-eight in both sprint events. In the process, Tuomola
shattered LSU’s 25 year-old 50 free record with a time of 19.57, broke
LSU’s 16 year-old 100 breast record with a time of 52.76 and tied
LSU’s 25 year-old record in the 100 free with a time of 43.22.
Paired with Tuomola on the team record setting 400 medley
relay, sophomore Michael Young evolved into one of the conference’s
top 100 fly, 200 fly and 100 backstroke competitors. At SEC’s,
Young clocked his 200 back in 1:45.64 and moved up to fifth in the
program’s all-time record book during the prelims. Young ranks fourth
in the program’s record books after swimming the 100 back in a time
of 47.64 at the conference meet.
Along with Tuomola and Young, junior Michael Saco also punched
a ticket to NCAA’s and swam on both frees relays and on the 200
medley relay. At SEC’s, Saco raced to 13th in the 50 free with a time
of 20.07 after swimming a season low 19.97 in prelims at the SEC
Championships. Saco also swam his career low in the 100 free (44.76)
at the meet.
Ip also played a key role in the development of sophomore Amber
Carter and junior Rainey White in the 50 free, 100 and 100 fly. The
duo earned a ticket to the NCAA Championships with an NCAA ‘A’ cut
in the 200 medley relay (1:37.80) at SEC’s. White swam the fly leg and
Carter anchored the relay.
At the conference championships, Carter finished 15th in the 50 free
with a time of 22.71 after swimming LSU’s fifth best all-time 50 free
of 22.58 in the prelims
During his tenure at Clemson, Ip produced 16 NCAA AllAmerican and Honorable Mention All-American performers, 24 ACC
Champions and 35 All-ACC swimmers. Seventeen out of 24 of the
men’s and women’s records for each team were broken under his
direction. Fourteen of his athletes became Olympic trial participants,
domestically and internationally.
Ip was honored as a 2012 ASCA Coach of Excellence award winner
for pllacing a swimmer top-eight at the 2012 NCAA Championships.
In addition to in the pool excellence, Ip’s teams consistently boasted
high academic marks and did extensive work in the community. His
men and women’s teams averaged a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in 29
separate semesters of classes. Three of Ip’s athletes went on to earn
the prestigious NCAA Post-graduate scholarship.
Ip served as the President and Coach of the Clemson Tiger
Aquatic Camps, Inc. from 2005-2011.
Ip also has considerable international coaching experience. He
served as head coach of the Jamaican National Swim Team for the
1994 World Games in Rome, Italy. He also coached the same team
at the Commonwealth Games in Victoria, British Columbia that same
year. In the spring of 1997 he was a member of the Venezuelan

coaching staff for the FINA Short Course World Championships at
Gothenburg, Sweden.
Many of his athletes have gone on to success at the Olympic
level. He had a total of 10 athletes represent their respective
countries in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Ga. and the 2000 Olympics
in Sydney, Australia.
Prior to arriving at Clemson, Ip coached at Indian River
Community College in Fort Pierce, Fla. for 13 seasons. Incredibly, the
Swarthmore, Penn. native won the national championship in both
men’s and women’s competition all 13 years he served as head coach
at Indian River Community College, presently the most for any coach
in NJCAA history.
Ip has been honored as the National Coach of the Year at the
junior college level for men’s swimming 10 times, including seven
years in a row between 1992-98. He has been named the women’s
National Coach of the Year four times and was named the National
Coach of the Year in both the men’s and women’s swimming programs
in 1998 and 2002.
Before his career at Indian River, Ip served as the Head Men’s
and Women’s Swimming Coach at the University of Delaware. He led
the men’s program to conference championships in each of his last
two years (1988 and 1989). The Delaware women’s program won the
East Coast Conference title in 1989. Overall, his swimmers combined
to win 42 individual East Coast Conference championship titles in
his five years leading the program. Twelve of his swimmers were USS
Senior National qualifiers.
Ip began his college coaching career as the men’s assistant
coach at East Stroudsburg State in 1978, followed by two years as
the assistant women’s coach at Springfield College before heading to
Brown University in Rhode Island. The women’s program won the Ivy
League Championship in 1984, his only season with the program.
