t ake one glance at the Cleveland State record book and it’s easy to sum up Wally Morton’s

35-year career in a single word – successful. And with long-time success comes an elevated set of challenges and expectations. For the first 27 years of his career with the Vikings, Morton served as the head coach of the men’s swim-ming and diving team. In 2007-08, he added the women’s programs to his resume as well as the new title Director of Competitive Aquatics. The 2008-09 season will be his 28th with the men’s program and his second with the women’s team. Prior to being named the team’s head coach in 1981, he served eight years as an assistant coach with the Vikings. During his tenure with the Viking men, Mor-ton’s success is backed up by a 241-133-1 (.644) dual meet record that includes nine Penn-Ohio Championships, a pair of MCC titles, a Horizon League Championship and an impressive 24 sea-sons with a .500 or better record. In his career, Morton has qualified four athletes for the NCAA Championships, including back-to-back appear-ances by Jakub Dobies in 2007 and 2008. In one season at the helm of the women’s program, his squad improved its dual meet record resulting in more swimmers reaching the Horizon League finals than the previous year.

The women’s program has a bright future giv-en what Morton has accomplished with the men. His Viking men’s squads have recorded at least 10 wins in seven straight seasons, compiling a 76-24 record during that span. In 1996-97, CSU also tied the school record for victories in a sea-son with a 14-4 mark, originally set in 1946-47. The 2005-06 Horizon League Coach of the Year, Morton directed the Viking men to back-to-back Midwestern Collegiate Conference titles in 1998 and 1999 and was named the MCC Coach of the Year in 1997 and 1999. He was named the Coach of the Year of the Penn-Ohio Conference six times, including three straight seasons from 1984-86. But there are other numbers that back up Mor-ton’s success on the pool deck. During his career he has led countless swimmers to the United States Senior Swimming Nationals and four to the NCAA Championships. His success has also translated internationally with Nedim Nisic com-peting in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Two more of his CSU swimmers have gone on to be Olympic Trials finalists. Morton joined the CSU staff in 1974 as the Aquatic Director of the brand-new CSU Natatori-um while also serving as an assistant coach with the swim team. He was named the head coach of the CSU program in 1981 following the retirement of coaching legend Bob Busbey and has brought regional and national prominence to Cleveland State. His responsibilities have not been limited to coaching. Morton has been extensively involved in event management for 38 national and inter-national aquatic events as the University’s Ac-quatics Director and has has overseen four NCAA Division I Championships and many regional and international competitions hosted by Cleveland State. Thanks to his vast experience in coaching and hosting championship swimming events, Morton has become a well-known face in the swimming world allowing for international recruiting. In his tenure, he has successfully recruited athletes from Australia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Croatia, Canada, England, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Rus-sia, Serbia & Montenegro, South Africa, Spain and Sweden to CSU. A 1970 Miami (Ohio) graduate, Morton was a member of back-to-back Mid-American Con-ference championship swim teams in 1966 and 1967. The winningest coach is Cleveland State Swimming history, Morton credits his successful coaching career to his two great influences - Tom Patton of the Dover, Ohio YMCA and former USA Olympic coach Bob Busbey, who Morton had the

privilege to serve under for his first eight years with the Vikings. In addition to his duties with the swim teams, Morton is also a faculty member in CSU’s Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance De-partment. Morton and his wife, Carol, a professor at Baldwin-Wallace, have one son, Robert. They re-side in Strongsville, Ohio.

i t is evident that Rich Karban, CSU head diving coach, is not only seen as one of the top coaches in the history of

Cleveland State, but also the Horizon League. Karban has grasped the Horizon League Diving Coach of the Year honors for five consecutive seasons. Since returning to CSU in 2003, the Vikings have swept the league Diver of the Meet honors in each of his five sea-sons. Dan Baiko took the top honor in both the one- and three-meter events in 2008; Chris Dalman won both the one- and three-meter titles in 2007 and the one-meter in 2006; Thatcher Carr won the three-meter in 2006, as well as both the one- and three-meter titles in 2005 and Chris Jones claimed the one-meter title and finished second in the three-meter in 2004. Karban also coached Dalman to an 18th place finish in the one-meter diving event and 20th place finish in the three-meter diving event at the 2007 NCAA Championships. After an accomplished diving career at Cleveland State in the early 1980’s, Karban was inducted into the CSU Ath-letics Hall of Fame in 2000. He was just the second diver and the fourth member of the swimming and diving team to be voted into the hall of fame.

Karban became the first CSU diver and only the sec-ond swimming and diving team member to win an Eastern Intercollegiate Championship, claiming the three-meter title in 1984. He helped the Vikings to the team title at the Penn-Ohio Championships during each of the four seasons, with his career culminating in 1984 after being named the team’s most outstanding athlete and qualifying for zones. Karban started his coaching career as CSU’s assistant diving coach from 1984-86. He became the Vikings’ head diving coach during the 1986-87 season before leaving to work with Olympic diving coach Ron O’Brien. Karban went on to coach diving at Eastern Michigan from 1989-94, earning the Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year honor in 1992. He also coached his U.S. Diving Junior Olympic Club to a fifth-place finish at the na-tional championships in 1990 while also coaching seven finalists and a national champion. Karban and his wife, Betsy, were married in 1988.

a ndrew Hancock, a former CSU swimmer, is in his second season as an assistant coach for the men’s

and women’s programs. He rejoined his alma mater in 2007-08 after three years in Chicago where he was the Head Age Group Coach at NASA/Wildcat Aquatics out of Northwestern University. This season, Hancock will again assist in enhancing the performances and abilities of the Vikings swimmers, while serving as the program’s recruiting coordinator for the sec-ond season. Hancock enjoyed a highly successful career for the Vi-kings from 2000-03. The Horizon League Swimmer of the Year in 2002, he won six individual titles, including the 1,650 freestyle in each of his final three seasons. He won four consecutive conference titles as a member of the Vikings’ 800 freestyle relay team, setting a then-conference record in the event in 2003. Hancock was also the former school-record holder in the 400 IM, becoming the first Viking in school history to break the four-minute

barrier in the event. As an age group swimmer in Australia, Hancock competed against some of the best swimmers in the sport’s history, such as Ian Thorpe and Grant Hackett. Hancock began his coaching career at CSU, volunteering as an assistant for the men and women during the 2003-04 season. At Northwestern University, Hancock’s age group swim-mers achieved 13 top-25 National Rankings over a two-year span, including two first place and seven top-five rankings. While at Northwestern, Hancock gained valuable insight into one of the top collegiate programs in the country and worked with some of the best swimmers in the world. In 2004, Hancock graduated from Cleveland State with a Bachelor’s degree in Finance. He married former Viking swimmer Rebecca Guerra in 2005. The couple resides in Cleveland, Ohio.

Every team’s goal at the beginning of a sea-son is to do better than it did the previous year. In 2008-09, second-year head coach Wally Morton is confident that the Cleveland State women’s swimming and diving team is poised to do just that. Morton and his staff worked hard in the off-season to bring in additional talent to compete alongside Cleveland State’s capable returning athletes. Joining the team this year will be seven freshmen that Morton expects to make an imme-diate impact. They’ll be joining a group of sea-soned veterans that includes four seniors, one junior and three sophomores. “We are very excited about this freshman class. These athletes are coming in ready to compete, and we hope the versatility and experi-ence they bring will help us improve on our dual meet record and move up in the Horizon League Championship standings,” Morton said. The women finished 4-10 overall with a sev-enth-place finish at the league championship in Morton’s first season. Morton has been impressed with what he’s seen throughout the preseason, and continues to see significant progress every day. “As a whole, our athletes are working extreme-ly hard in practice. They are consistent and they are pushing themselves to their physiological limits,” Morton said. “I feel like we’re making significant progress in practice and that will translate into improvement in our competitions as well.” Here is a look at the projected key contributors in each event.

Freestyle A group of freshmen will be looked at to carry the load in the freestyle events, led by freshman Maria Culjak. Brought in from Croatia to be one of the Horizon League’s top sprinters, Culjak will also be called on to lead the way in the sprints and will be an important part of the relays.

Kristina Bunker aims to improve her times in the backstroke and IM events. In 2007-08, she turned in the team’s second-best times in the 100 and 200 backstroke as well as the 400 IM.

Freshman Carys Behn is expected to be one of the top newcomers in the Horizon League this saeson.

Carys Behn is another freshman who can make an immediate con-tribution. A medallist at the South Africa National Junior Championships in 2008, Behn is a seasoned competitor and has the ability to be a conference standout in any of the freestyle events. Sophomore Diana Mruk had an outstanding Horizon League Championship as a freshman and she will be counted on again as a key contributor in the free sprint events. Senior Kristina Nagy returns determined to have her best year in the sprint freestyle events while Brittany Tweardy has the chance to be a big part of the sprint program as a fresh-man. The mid-distance freestyle events with get added depth from freshmen Emily Splain and Whitney Hickey. Splain earned All-America honors as a high school senior when she notched a Top-10 state finish. Hickey is no stranger to big meet pressure after qualifying for the high school state championships in each of her four seasons. With a year of experience under their belts, sophomores Erin Green and Frances Carrion return to lead the distance events. Green aims to improve on her freshman campaign that included CSU’s top times in both the 1,000 and 1,650 freestyle events. Both marks came at the Horizon League Championships, and her 18:03.89 in the 1,650 free earned her a 15th place finish. Carrion showed steady improvement during her fresh-man season, leading all Vikings swimmers in the 500 freestyle while her times in the 1,650 and 1,000 free were bettered only by Green.

Backstroke Senior Sandra Bunker is back for her final season and will provide leadership to a group of young swimmers. Bunker was a key contributor a

year ago, turning in the team’s second-best times in both the 100 and 200 backstrokes. During pre-season training, freshmen Splain, Hickey and Culjak have also shown a great potential to add depth.

Butterfly Senior Katie Bellew returns in hopes of shattering the 100 butterfly school record she set as a freshman in 2006. In 2007-08, she finished in the Top 15 in both the 100 and 200 butterfly events at the Horizon League Championships and recorded CSU’s top times of the season in

both fly events and the 200 breaststroke. The versatility of the freshmen class should be very visible in the butterfly events as Carys Behn could make significant contributions while Hickey and Splain are expected to add consider-able depth.

Breaststroke In the breaststroke events, freshman Rachel Arzadon has proven to be a threat during pre-season workouts. The CSU staff is looking for-ward to big things from her in her first year, while Bellew and junior Brittany McCann provide addi-tional experience. After the graduation of last year’s top breast-stroker, McCann will challenge for one of the team’s top times after posting a career-best in the 100 breaststroke as a sophomore.

Individual Medley Senior captain Kristine Bunker returns as the Vikings’ top prospect in the individual medley events. A consistent scorer in her first three sea-sons, she turned in the team’s top time in the 400 IM a year ago and later placed 13th at the Horizon League Championships. Bellew and Arzadon also offer solid options in the IM events for the Vikings.

Diving Called “one of the best freshmen divers at CSU in at least 10 years” by Morton, Kacey Cummings joins the team with great expecta-tions. Her outstanding achievements at the high school and club diving levels give her the oppor-tunity to develop into one of the best divers in Cleveland State history with a chance to compete for a Horizon League Championship. Cummings’ diving resume includes a ninth-place finish at the Division 2 state meet and a record-setting performance to win the West Bloomfield Invitational.

A conference contender for the last 35 seasons with 18 championships since 1974, the Cleveland State men’s swimming and diving program goes into every season with tremendous expectations. In 2008-09, head coach Wally Morton enters his 28th season with his team poised to make a run at its sec-ond Horizon Leaague Conference title in four seasons. All the pieces are there including Nedim Nisiic, a 2008 Summer Olympian, and Jakub Dobies, a two-time NCAA Championship com-petitor. “In addition to winning a confer-ence championship, one of our primary goals each year is to send a representative to the NCAA Championships,” Morton said. “Since the Horizon League was formed in 2000, only Cleveland State has been able to reach the NCAA Championships. We hope to add to that total this year.” While the 2008-09 squad will feature several new faces, CSU’s returning athletes have all proven their worth. In addition to eight freshmen, the Vikings return three sophomores, three juniors and three seniors. Four of this year’s returning athletes bring back five Horizon League titles fro 2007-08. Versatility could be the key to the sea-son, however, as all of the Viking swimmers are more than capable in at least two events. Here is a breakdown of the events for 2008-09.

Freestyle Several veterans return to lead the freestyle events, including two of the best juniors in the history of CSU swimming in Todd Winchell and Jakub Dobies. The pair will be counted to carry their share of the load as both are outstanding in multiple events including the sprints. Dobies finished runner-up in the 100 free at the Horizon League Championships, just missing a third individual title. Junior Stephen Grove is also looking to improve on his break-out sophomore season that included a Horizon League title in the 50 freestyle in a school-record time and a top-five finish in the 100 freestyle. CSU’s Olympian, Nisic specializes in the but-terfly and backstroke events but will also give great performances in the sprint and middle freestyle events while senior Marko Milenkovic also returns with an additional year of experience in the free events. One of the keys to Cleveland State’s success in 2007-08, sophomore Michael Marsico has used the off-season to develop into one of the top freestylers on the team. Last year Marsico fin-ished eighth in the 100 free at the Horizon League Championships and will focus on improv-

Stephen Grove was part of three school record realy teams and set new Viking records in the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly in 2007-08.

ing that finish this season. A handful of freshmen hope to make their marks on the freestyle events. A record-setting high school athlete, Keith Everhart has been one of the top sprinters during preseason workouts and Morton is counting on significant contribu-tions from him that could include competing for a Horizon League Championship. Other freshmen that have a chance to shine in the sprint free events are Travis Lombardozzi, a two-time Florida state qualifier, and Derek Butts. South African Mark deSwardt brings a wealth of talent in the distance freestyle while class-mate Pieter Ritz, a three-time Florida state qualifier, will be counted on for depth.

Butterfly Nisic will be counted on to lead the butterfly events after an outstanding junior season and a trip to the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Nisic’s preseason workouts have been outstanding and he is ready to improve on his success of a year ago that included a third-place finish in the 100 fly and a sixth-place finish in the 200 fly at the Horizon League Championships. Grove is back after setting a new school record in the 100 butterfly (48.86) during a run-ner-up finish at the Horizon League Championships. Sophomore Zvonimir Androic returns for his second season as one of the top butterfliers in the league. According to Morton, Androic’s solid work ethic could be what it takes to put him in contention to win championships for the Vikings by the year’s end. Team captain Volkmar Baur will provide depth in the 200 butterfly in his final season while Winchell, one of the top all-around swim-mers in the league, will give the Vikings another solid option. Newcomers that are expected to make sig-nificant contributions include Everhart, two-time Ohio state qualifier Colin Hanner and Lombardozzi.

Morton expects Hanner to push hard for a finals berth while Lombardozzi’s outstanding speed will give him a shot to compete down the stretch.

Breaststroke There is no doubt that Dobies will be the face of CSU’s breaststroke events in 2008-09. A Mid-Major All-American after his Top-25 finish in the 100 breast at last year’s NCAA Championships, Dobies is determined to improve his times and add to his six career individual Horizon League Championship titles. Already a two-time NCAA qualifier, Dobies was named the 2007-08 Horizon League Co-Athlete of the Year after picking up the Newcomer of the Year Award in 2006-07. Following up Dobies’ outstanding freshman season, Deni Gasparin picked up the league’s Newcomer of the Year honor in 2007-08. An excellent breaststroker with the goal of reaching the NCAA Championships this season, Gasparin will also attempt to drop time and add to the 200 breaststroke title he earned a year ago. Milenkovic finished fifth in the 200 breast-stroke at the Horizon League Championships as a junior and will attempt to drop time in his final season. The Vikings will also get additional help in the breast events from freshman Nick Martinelli.

Backstroke The Vikings return three Top-10 finishers in the 100 backstroke in Nisic, Winchell and Androic. Winchell won the 100 back event at the Horizon League Championship in 2007-08 while Nisic finished second and Androic placed ninth. The three will again provide stability in the backstroke events while freshmen Hanner and Butts will contribute as well.

Individual Medley A number of Viking swimmers could contrib-ute to the individual medley events in 2008-09. Gasparin, Milenkovic, Baur and Dobies all have significant experience in the events and are expected to give outstanding performances. Newcomers DeSwardt and Marintelli have also shown the ability to excel during preseason workouts.

Diving Matt DiMasso, a four-time district qualifier, will take over diving duties for the Vikings this season. DiMasso will focus on improving every day with the goal of reaching the finals of the Horizon League Championships. He’ll have the best of the Horizon League coaches to help him get there as Rich Karban has earned Horizon League Diving Coach of the Year honors in each of his five seasons with Cleveland State.

Women Seventh At League Championships The 2007-08 women’s swimming and diving squad improved its dual record to 4-10 with Wally Morton at the helm for his first season. The Viking women strived to find consistency and balance all year, and when it was all said and done the team had recorded 10 new all-time Top-10 marks in nine different events. The season started on Oct. 13 with a 155-81 loss to Valparaiso at Busbey Natatorium. Sandra Bunker shined with her win the 200 backstroke. In a 115-84 loss at St. Francis on Oct. 20, Jen MacLauchlan took first-place in the 100 backstroke while Frances Carrion won the 500 freestyle.

The Vikings dropped to 0-3 with a loss to St. Bonaventure on Nov. 2, falling 170-55 at Busbey Natatorium without a winner in any event. Things started to look up for the women on Nov. 13 when they hosted the three-team City College Championships. The Vikings picked up their first two dual wins of the season, knocking off Baldwin-Wallace 153-79 and Notre Dame College 150-73. The third dual score was a 123-107 loss to Gannon. On the day, CSU swimmers won six of the 13 events including Katie Bellew’s victories in the 100 but-terfly and 100 breaststroke.

Men Just Miss Second League Title In Three Years The Viking men’s swimming and diving team posted a perfect 11-0 home record during its 11-4 campaign in 2007-08. It capped the impressive season by establishing 22 new all-time Top-10 marks and sending a representative to the NCAA Championships for the second straight year. CSU opened the season with three straight home dual victories during which time they won all but two races on the three dates. The Vikings beat Valparaiso 174-52 on Oct. 13, knocked off Green Bay 132-102 on Oct. 27 and posted a 160-82 win over St. Bonaventure on Nov. 2. Miami (Ohio) put the first blemish on the Vikings’ dual record on Nov. 11 with a 137-106 home victory, but Jakub Dobies shined with three individual wins in the 100 and 200 freestyles and the 200 breaststroke. At the City College Championships on Nov. 13 in Busbey Natatorium, CSU added wins over Baldwin-Wallace (177-60) and Gannon (176-60) and again swept all of the day’s events. The Vikings put up a good fight at Notre Dame on Nov. 16. Despite five individual victories and one relay win, CSU fell 171-124. Dobies posted wins in the 100 and 200 breaststroke events while Marko Milenkovic won the 100 freestyle, Todd Winchell took the top time in the 100 butterfly and Dave Duecker finished first in the 200 IM.

Three more dual victories came the way of the Vikings on Jan. 12 when CSU won all but three events during wins over Canisius (195-40), Duquesne (172-47) and Xavier (175-48).

In its final tune-up before the league champion-ships, CSU won all but one event to get past UIC 146-29 on Feb. 2 in Cleveland. Duecker won three events including the 500 and 1,000 freestyles and 200 butterfly. The Viking men finished second overall with 642 points after winning 10 events, including three relays, and again swept Horizon League post-season honors. At the conclusion of the championships, Dobies was tabbed with Co-Swimming & Diving Athlete of the Year honors. Gasparin was named the league’s Newcomer of the Year and Baiko was named the Diver of the Meet. For the fifth year in a row, Rich Karban was named the league’s Diving Coach of the Year. The Vikings set four new Horizon League records, including two by Dobies in the 100 (53.64) and 200 (2:00.43) breaststroke, as well as the 200 and 400 medley relays. The relay teams also posted new Horizon League Championship records. Winchell, Dobies, Johan Norling and Grove made up the 200 medley team (1:29.80) while Winchell, Gasparin, Stephen Grove and Dobies swam in the 400 medley group (3:18.55).

Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2008-09, the Horizon League continues to aspire toward its goal of being one of the nation’s leading athletics conferences while being recognized as a leader in the development of student-athletes as leaders and role models.

The Horizon League membership features ten public and private institutions that have impressive academic reputations and a storied tradition of broad-based ath-letic programs. Current membership includes Butler University, Cleveland State University, the University of Detroit Mercy, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Loyola University Chicago, Valparaiso University, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Wright State University and Youngstown State University.

The Horizon League’s primary focus is on adding value to the educational experience through its four plat-forms of athletic performance, academic achievement, community outreach, and personal responsibility and accountability. It is the League’s belief that athletics is a powerful and visible resource tool that can be used to enhance student-athletes’ collegiate experience. The Horizon League’s goals are to enhance the holistic univer-sity experience for the student-athlete, to create an affili-ation of institutions with similar athletic goals, and to adhere to the principals of integrity, diversity, excellence and growth.

The Horizon League sponsors competition in 19 sports – nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and tennis) and ten for women (basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swim-

ming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, tennis and volleyball). In all sports, all teams par-ticipate in their respective postseason League champion-ships regardless of regular-season performance, allowing all student-athletes an opportunity to qualify for NCAA championships. The League receives automatic bids to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, soft-ball, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.

The Horizon League is headquartered in Indianapolis, the “Amateur Sports Capital of the World,” with offices in the Pan American Plaza (201 S. Capitol Avenue), located a block from Lucas Oil Stadium and just minutes from Conseco Fieldhouse, the State Capitol Building, Victory Field and the NCAA national office.

A PROUD HISTORYFounded on June 16, 1979, as the Midwestern City

Conference with six charter members, the League changed its name to the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in 1985 and added women’s sports for the 1986-87 academic year. Charter members of the conference included current members Butler and Loyola as well as the University of Evansville, Oklahoma City University, Oral Roberts University and Xavier University. Among other current members, Detroit joined in 1980, and Cleveland State, UIC, Green Bay, Milwaukee and Wright State came aboard in 1994 in the largest non-merger conference expansion in history, with Youngstown State joining in 2001 and Valparaiso in 2007.

On June 4, 2001, the Horizon League unveiled its current name and ushered in a new dynamic direction that has brought the League closer to its stated goal of being one of the nation’s top ten conferences with a focus on enhancing the student-athletes experience by upgrad-ing the League’s market.

ATHLETIC SUCCESSIn the past few years, the Horizon League has enjoyed

unprecedented success on the national stage, highlighted by three Sweet Sixteen appearances (Butler 2003, 2007; Milwaukee 2005) and eight wins in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in the past six seasons. In other sports, League teams have won at least one game in their respective NCAA Championships each of the last six seasons in men’s soccer (Milwaukee 2002-05, UIC 2006-07), with UIC just one win away from the College Cup in 2007. In softball, League teams won a game in the national tournament four straight years earlier in the decade (UIC 2002, 2004; Wright State 2003; Green Bay 2005) while advancing into the second round in women’s soccer three of the last four seasons (Detroit 2004, Milwaukee 2005-06). Green Bay’s women’s basketball team added to that résumé with a victory in the 2007 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship. Butler’s Victoria Mitchell became the League’s first NCAA individual cham-pion when she won the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and then finished fourth at the 2005 NCAA Cross Country Championships.

GOVERNANCEThe Horizon League is governed by a Board of

Directors comprised of the ten member institutions’ chief executive officers. Dr. David Sweet, President of Youngstown State, serves as Board Chair through June 30, 2010. Ron Strollo, Executive Director of Intercollegiate

Athletics at Youngstown State, serves as chair of the Executive Council, and Christine Moeller, Assistant Athletic Director/Senior Woman Administrator at Cleveland State, is the Second Delegate, while Sheila Patterson of Cleveland State serves as chair of the Faculty Athletics Representatives.

ACADEMIC SUCCESSHorizon League student-athletes also excel in the

classroom as more than 500 have been named to the Academic Honor Roll each of the past seven semesters for carrying a grade-point average of 3.2 or better, including more than 600 for the fall 2007 and spring 2008 semes-ters. Forty-eight student-athletes were named to ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District teams in 2007-08, while 14 earned Academic All-America honors, including a pair of first-team selections.

COMMUNITY SERVICEIn addition to its athletics success, the Horizon

League has secured a well-earned reputation for its com-munity service initiatives. Each January, member institu-tions partner with local elementary schools for an art, music and essay contest highlighting the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with winners recognized at League games on the weekend of MLK Day.

SPORTSMANSHIPOne of the Horizon League’s points of emphasis is

fostering collegial environments for competition among student-athletes, coaches, administrators and fans in a pro-active approach. Among the vehicles is the Ethical Conduct Pledge, which is signed each season by student-athletes, coaches, officials, and campus and League administrators. Its purpose is to make all the involved groups aware of the Horizon League expectations of behavior during conference events.

DEMOGRAPHICSHorizon League institutions boast a combined enroll-

ment of more than 130,000 plus nearly a quarter-million living alumni centered in the League’s Midwest footprint. League media markets include five of the nation’s top 35 in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Milwaukee, covering more than 10 million television households.

HORIZON LEAGUE NETWORKThe Horizon League is a recognized leader in video

streaming, through the Horizon League Network (HLN), having produced more than 800 free, live events in the past three years, with plans to web cast more than 400 during the 2008-09 academic year. In addition to live games, HLN includes highlight vignettes of all 19 League championships, weekly highlight videos during the bas-ketball season and other special programming.

McCAFFERTY TROPHYThe Horizon League annually awards the McCafferty

Trophy in recognition of its all-sports champion in honor of its first commissioner, James J. McCafferty. Cleveland State won its first McCafferty Trophy in school history fol-lowing the 2007-08 academic year. The Vikings also captured their first Men’s All-Sports Award, while Milwaukee claimed the women’s honor for the third straight year and seventh time in the past eight years.

For over 30 years, Cleveland State’s natatorium has earned its place among the elite swimming facilities in the United States and has enjoyed a rich history of champion-ships and outstanding swimmers. A new chapter in that history was written in the fall of 1999 when the facility was officially dedicated as The Robert F. Busbey Natatorium after CSU’s long-time swimming coach and athletic direc-tor, Bob Busbey. Despite all the prestige, however, the one part of the natatorium that has continued to stand out over the years is how advanced the pool’s design is when com-pared to others around the country.

When it opened in 1973 as the CSU Natatorium, it was considered special simply because it was one of only two university indoor pools in the state of Ohio that was 50 meters in length. Since there were not many other pools like it in the country, it received immediate notice from the rest of the swimming community.

However, there were other aspects of the pool that made it unusual. The one feature that immediately stood out was the pool’s large gutters, which made it extremely fast compared to those of other schools. In March of 1975, the NCAA decided to examine the theory itself when it scheduled the NCAA Division I and II Championships in Cleveland for the very first time. Over the course of con-secutive weekends, the NCAA came to the conclusion that the Busbey Natatorium was one of a kind.

Following this historic meet, the NCAA gave in to the demands of swimmers and coaches alike and decided to return the championship meet to Cleveland State. When

the 1977 Division I Championships were complet-ed, there was no doubt left as to which pool was superior in the United States. The meet fea-tured the shattering of sixteen NCAA records; a mark that still stands today. In fact, the 1977 finals were later termed as “The greatest swimmers in the fast-est pool at the greatest meet in history” by none other than the NCAA itself.

Two years later, the meet returned to Cleveland, and, after a five year lapse, it was back again for a fourth time in 1984

to sellout crowds yet again. Since that time, the pool has been an eleven-time host site of the Eastern Intercollegiate Championships and hosted the Penn-Ohio Conference Championships a staggering 17 times.

The natatorium has been the site of championships of all shapes and sizes during its history, including six Horizon League Championships. What may stand out the most is the variety of the 16 national aquatic champion-ships that have been held at Cleveland State. These events include United States international diving meets, AAU and YMCA national championships, the National Water Polo Championships and the World Swimming Games for the Deaf.

The natatorium has remained dear to the hearts of United States swimmers as it has been used by the 1976 United States Olympic Swimming and Diving Teams, the 1980 Olympic Diving Team and the 1984 Olympic Swim Team for their practices. The pool has even witnessed record-breaking performances by United States gold medal winners Tom Jager, Matt Biondi, Greg Louganis and Pablo Morales. In addition, the October 22, 2002 issue of Sports Illustrated ranked the Busbey Natatorium the sixth fastest pool in America.

The structure of the Busbey Natatorium itself is even unique. The fact that an incredible 933,000 gallons of water are needed to fill the pool is unusual. The natatori-um measures 50 meters in length (with nine eight-foot competitive lanes) by 25 yards wide (with 23 seven-foot competitive lanes) with racing lanes measuring 12 to 16-1/2 feet deep. Below the surface, the pool features underwater speakers and six underwater windows which provide the CSU staff with an excellent coaching tool.

Also, the pool utilizes an automatic touchpad timing system for up to ten lanes during meets. In terms of div-ing competitions, the natatorium includes two one-meter maxiflex boards, two three-meter maxiflex boards, and a diving tower with platforms at 5, 7-1/2, and 10 meters.

The pool’s uniqueness is not limited to simply the main pool itself. The south stands feature a 25-yard instructional pool which is also very useful as a warm up/cool down pool for competitions.

In ceremonies held on October 2, 1999, the 1,500-seat CSU Natatorium was officially renamed The Robert F. Busbey Natatorium, in honor of long-time swimming

coach and athletic director, Robert Busbey. Over a span of nearly a half-century, beginning with his enrollment at Fenn College in 1946, Busbey impacted the University’s sports program as only a special few men have at any collegiate institution.

As a four-sport athlete, Busbey was Fenn’s first All-American, gaining national prominence by winning that honor as a swimmer in both 1948 and 1949 and failing by the tiniest margin for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team in 1950. He went on to serve as head coach of his alma mater for 30 years. During his coaching tenure, he was named assistant coach for the 1964 U.S. Olympic Team, served as chairman of the NCAA Swimming Committee and was responsible for bringing five NCAA Championships to CSU.

For his accomplishments, Busbey was honored with the 1982 National Collegiate & Scholastic Swimming Trophy, one of the sport’s highest awards.

In 1966, Busbey succeeded Homer E. Woodling as Cleveland State’s Director of Athletics. Over a span of 24 years in that position, he developed a flourishing program and became a prime force in the planning and building of CSU’s athletic facilities, including Krenzler Field, the CSU Convocation Center and the Physical Education Building.

Unanimously voted a charter member of the CSU Athletic Hall of Fame when it opened in 1975, Busbey became Associate Vice President for Athletic Affairs in 1990 and continued to serve his alma mater until his retirement in 1994.

For all its special features and the amount of events it has hosted in its 32 years, The Robert F. Busbey Natatorium truly enjoys one of the most fascinating histo-ries of any aquatic facility in the United States.
