NoTIce of NcAA ProBATIoNFrom 2007 to 2010 the University of Nebraska unintentionally reimbursed student-athletes for recommended textbooks as well as required textbooks through a failure to properly administer and monitor book scholarships. Only reimbursement for required books is permissible under NCAA rules. As a result, the NCAA placed the University of Nebraska on two-year probation, beginning in January of 2012. The NCAA did not impose additional penalties such as loss of scholarships, forfeiture of games, or a ban on postseason play. Rather, as a condition of probation, Nebraska will continue to educate student-athletes and staff thoroughly on NCAA bylaws and will notify prospective student-athletes of its probationary status.



Top: Three-time Olympian Penny Heyns captured a pair of Olympic gold medals in 1996, after winning the NCAA title in the 100-yard breaststroke for the Huskers that same year. Heyns won Olympic gold in the 100-meter breaststroke in world-record time, before adding a second gold in the 200-meter breaststroke two days later. Heyns added a bronze in the 100 breast in Sydney, Australia, in 2000.

Middle: Therese Alshammar earned trips to the 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympics for her home country of Sweden. At the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Alshammar claimed three medals, including two silvers and a bronze.

Left: One of the most decorated swimmers in U.S. history, Nebraska Coach Pablo Morales was an 11-time NCAA champion at Stanford, and won five combined medals at the 1984 and 1992 Olympic Games, including three golds and a pair of silvers. Morales also served on the committee for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials, which were held in Omaha.

Nebraska women's swimming and diving has a long history of success. The Huskers have finished in the top 12 at the NCAA Championships five times since 1995.

The Huskers produced conference and NCAA champions and 11 Olympians, including gold medalist and world-record holder Penny Heyns.

Along with the individual success, Nebraska swimming and diving has claimed 10 conference team championships.

Success in the pool is just part of Nebraska's success story. Coached by Olympic Gold Medalist and Academic All-America Hall of Fame inductee Pablo Morales, the Huskers have annually been one of the top academic teams in the nation. Over the past several years nearly every member of the team earned an academic honor from the conference. The Huskers also captured Nebraska’s Life Skills Award as the most committed team to NU’s nationally renowned Life Skills program in both 2010 and 2012.

In athletics, academics and in life, There Is No Place Like Nebraska.

Nebraska provides its student-athletes top-notch game-day and practice atmospheres in every sport. In 2012-13, the Nebraska men’s and women's basketball and wrestling programs benefitted from the addition of the Hendricks Training Complex at the Devaney Center. The new facility includes new practice courts and a wrestling room along with expanded strength and conditioning and athletic medicine areas.

The baseball and softball teams began working out in the Haymarket Park Indoor Practice Facility in the fall of 2011.

BIg TeN swImmINg & dIvINg cHAmPIoNsHIPsThe 2013 Big Ten Championships will be held at the University Aquatic Center on the Minnesota campus. Opened in 1990, the Aquatic Center has played host to nine Big Ten Championships, including the women’s meet in 1991, 1996, 1999 and 2004. The facility was also the site of six NCAA Championships, most recently the 2007 men’s and women’s national meet.

The Aquatic Center features a 50-meter competition pool that is eight lanes wide and eight feet deep. The separate diving well features a pair of one- and three-meter boards, as well as 1, 5, 7.5 and 10-meter platforms. It includes 1,346 permanent seats and 1,200 temporary bleachers. The Big Ten Championships are scheduled to run Feb. 20-23, 2013.

2012 U.s. oLYmPIc TrIALs

The CenturyLink Center in Omaha played host to the 2012 U.S. Olympic Swim Trials. The facility was also the site of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials.

The state of Nebraska, the Midwest and the entire swimming community took a monumental step on June 28, 2005, when USA Swimming announced Omaha as the host city for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials. After the 2008 Trials proved to be a resounding success, officials from USA Swimming and the Omaha Sports Commission announced that the event would return to Omaha for the 2012 Olympic Trials. “We are thrilled to bring the Olympic Trials back to Omaha in 2012,” said Chuck Wielgus, USA Swimming executive director. “The 2008 Trials were a tremendous event, offering a fantastic experience for our athletes, fans, families and coaches. We look forward to not only re-creating that excitement,

but building on it, and putting together an even better show in 2012. We are fortunate to have great partners in the Omaha Sports Commission, the U.S. Olympic Committee, NBC and our corporate partner family, and together, I am confident that we will raise the bar on our sport’s marquee event.” The 2012 Trials were held from June 25 to July 2, as the CenturyLink Center installed temporary indoor pools. Two 50-meter pools were installed in the 18,300-seat arena, reducing capacity to approximately 14,000. The 2008 Trials drew a record 160,003 fans over eight days and 15 sessions. Swimmers competing at the event set a total of nine world records and 21 American records.

The CenturyLink Center has served as a home away from home for Husker athletics the past several years. The NU volleyball team has played at the facility numerous times, including the 2006 NCAA Championships, when the Huskers won their third national title. Nebraska also hosted the Big 12 Wrestling Championships at the CenturyLink Center and the men’s basketball team played there in a game against Oregon in 2007. In December of 2008, the NCAA Volleyball Championships returned to Omaha for the second time in three years, welcoming the Husker volleyball team back, where they lost in the semifinals to eventual champion Penn State.

2012-13 NeBrAskA corNHUskers

HUskers.com | 29


The 2012-13 Nebraska swimming and diving team heads into a new season looking for improvement on its inaugural Big Ten season. The Huskers finished 2011-12 with a 4-2 record in duals and an 11th-place finish at the Big Ten Championships in February. The next-to-last conference finish was certainly something that Nebraska had not been accustomed to in the Big 12, but the Big Ten has a much deeper field (12 teams instead of six) and, according to Head Coach Pablo Morales, is “one of the fastest conferences in the nation.”

However, this season Nebraska will look to make big strides and compete against the stiff competition the Big Ten has to offer. After spending the offseason focusing on core conditioning and technique, the Huskers think they have a shot to make some noise in the water this season. The addition of Assistant Coach Patrick Rowan will also be a key factor in this season’s success, Morales said.

“Right now I feel like we are in a really exciting time with the addition of Pat Rowan to our staff,” Morales said. “I think it has infused some really good energy, and we are all excited. The girls are picking up on that, and they are enjoying what we are doing.”

Another important component of Nebraska’s success this season will be leadership. The Huskers return nine seniors in 2012-13, including Ashley Reiter, Ellan Dufour and Sara Weinberg as team captains. The squad also returns two junior standouts in Shannon Guy and Bailey Pons, who both qualified for the Olympic Trials in Omaha in June of 2012. Morales said Guy and Pons are setting examples for the rest of the Huskers with their oustanding work ethics.

“Shannon and Bailey represent individuals who have reached for the ultimate and have been able to achieve it,” Morales said. “I certainly hope that others can see their examples and try to achieve on a similar level.”

Nebraska has strong leaders returning to the squad in 2012-13, but it also has some fresh talent. The

Huskers welcome 11 newcomers to the team, including a sophomore transfer from Navy, and Omaha native, Alexandra Bilunas. However, Bilunas will have to sit out a year due to NCAA transfer rules.

Still, the Huskers will benefit from the wide variety of talent brought in by the freshmen class. These freshmen come from a range of swimming backgrounds from the Bahamas to South Dakota, Mexico to Missouri, Maryland to Ohio, and New York to Nebraska. In fact, three freshmen hail from the state of Nebraska.

Overall, the 2012-13 Nebraska swimming and diving team consists of a balance of returning leaders and incoming talent that will be exciting to watch. Morales said that balance has created high expectations for this squad.

“We have a great schedule with great teams and we’re going to shoot to win them all,” Morales said. “But even if we don’t, these meets represent an opportunity to take a great step toward the Big Ten Championships which is our main focus.”

The Huskers aren’t just focused on the Big Ten Championships, though. Morales also mentioned the greater goal of making it to the NCAA Championships.

“I think we need to be there, and I think this team is capable of representing Nebraska at the National Championships.”

The Nebraska sprint freestyle corps is led by seniors Ariel Weech and Hayley Martin. Weech is the returning leader in the 50-yard freestyle, while Martin returns as the leader in both the 100- and 200-yard freestyles. Both are looking to leave their mark on the Big Ten in their final seasons.

Depth will be provided in the sprint freestyle by redshirt freshman Taryn Collura, who has been impressive in the offseason. Morales said Collura made the cut for Olympic Trials just after they had passed.

“Taryn is bringing a great attitude and achieving on a high level,” Morales said. “We saw what Taryn could

do last year in training and in meets with her club. We are excited that she can now make a point-scoring contribution to the program.”

When it comes to mid- and long-distance freestyle, the Huskers are led by junior Bailey Pons. Pons qualified for the Olympic Trials and has been impressive in the water for Nebraska in her first two seasons. Bailey is the returning leader in the 500-, 1,000-, and 1,650-yard freestyle events for the Huskers.

“Bailey lets it fly every single time to achieve what she wants to achieve,” Morales said. “She is a great competitor, a grinder, and has a tremendous work ethic. She is fearless.”

In the backstroke, senior Ellan Dufour leads the Huskers. Dufour is Nebraska’s top returner in both the 100- and 200-yard backstroke, and she is approaching her senior season with a “great attitude” according to Morales.

Other key contributors in the backstroke this season will be Rebekah Land, Megan Ziemann, Hayley Martin and Ariel Weech. Land could have a breakout year after being plagued by injuries in her first season with the squad in 2011-12.

Junior Shannon Guy is a returning leader in both the breaststroke and butterfly events for the Huskers. Guy competed in the Olympic Trials and has been a leader by example for the squad in her first two seasons. Guy owns NU’s fastest returning times in the 100- and 200-yard buttefly as well as the 100-yard breaststroke.

“Shannon Guy is the consummate performer,” Morales said. “Whenever she gets up on the blocks you know you are going to get a great race out of her. She’s a big time performer.”

Junior Bailey Pons posted Nebraska’s top times in the 500, 1,000 and 1,650-yard freestyle events last season before competing in the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials.



In the butterfly, Guy will be pushed by Natalie Morris. The sophomore is coming off an impressive offseason of workouts and is focused on taking a leap forward in her second season. She won three event titles last year in the butterfly, and she is looking to share in Guy’s success this season.

Nebraska looks to have solid depth in the breaststroke. Senior Kelsey Larson is the Huskers’ top returner in the 200-yard breaststroke and has enjoyed an impressive career throughout her first three years in the program. Other key contributors will be Ashley Reiter, Kristin Strecker, Nikolina Sabo and Ciara Jenkins.

In the diving well, the Huskers are led by junior Payton Michaud, the returning leader in both the one-meter and three-meter dives. Michaud set personal-best scores in both events last season and will be looking to continue her improvements in the events in 2012-13.

Senior Amy Herman returns to lead the Huskers in the platform dive. She will also look to continue to improve, as she set her career-best score in the platform dive last season. Senior Kaitlan Walker and junior Kailey Harmon will also look to contribute in the well for Diving Coach Natasha Chikina. However, Walker has been limited by an injury in the offseason and preseason.

The Huskers open their second year in the Big Ten Conference with the annual Scarlet v. Cream Intrasquad meet on Sept. 28 at the Devaney Natatorium. The annual intrasquad event will be followed by the Alumni Meet on Sept. 29.

The Huskers open the regular season by taking on St. Cloud State and North Dakota at the University of North Dakota on Oct. 12. The Huskers will then take on Nebraska-Omaha in Omaha on Oct. 19 and in Lincoln at the Devaney Natatorium on Oct. 20. Nebraska defeated UNO 192-100 last season.

The squad will travel to Iowa State on Oct. 26 to take on the Cyclones and South Dakota. Nebraska will finish off its pre-conference duals by traveling to South Dakota State on Nov. 9 and hosting Northern Iowa on Nov. 10. The Huskers went 3-1 in non-conference duals in 2011-12, with the only loss coming against Kansas.

The divers head to Houston, Texas, for the Cougar Classic Invite, Nov. 15-17. At the same time, the swimmers travel to Topeka, Kan., to compete in the Kansas Classic.

Nebraska will open its conference season with a trip to Iowa City, Iowa, Nov. 30-Dec. 2 for the Hawkeye Invitational. The squad will then host San Diego State on Jan. 19, before traveling to Illinois on Jan. 26. The Huskers battled the Illini to the finish in a tough 152-148 dual loss last season.

Nebraska will finish the regular season by traveling to Evanston, Ill., Feb. 1-2 for the Northwestern Dual Meet Invite. Nebraska hosts the Husker Invitational Feb. 14-16 at the Devaney Natatorium.

Nebraska heads to the Big Ten Championships in Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 20-23. After an 11th-place finish in their inaugural Big Ten Championships, the Huskers are certainly hungry to move closer to the top this year and associate themselves with the upper-level Big Ten programs.

Minnesota claimed the 2012 Big Ten crown, while Indiana took runner-up honors. Ohio State finished third and Wisconsin claimed fourth place.

2012-13 (oUTLook)Ellan Dufour (pronounced due-FOR) will be looking to finish her Nebraska swimming career with a flourish in 2012-13. The senior from Canada has been a team leader in the 100- and 200-yard backstroke in her first three seasons with the Huskers, producing four first-place finishes in those events last year alone. Dufour hopes for more victories in 2012-13 and even more success in this year’s conference meet.

2011-12 (JUNIor)Dufour returned to the pool with Nebraska for her junior season and competed in six events. Dufour produced top-five finishes on nine occasions, including three wins in the 200-yard backstroke (UNO, Iowa State, South Dakota State) and a win in the 100-yard backstroke (Iowa State). In the classroom, Dufour earned spots on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in both the fall and spring semesters of 2011-12.

2010-11 (soPHomore)Dufour made strides for the Huskers during her sophomore year. She produced the second most top-five finishes (22) for the Huskers in 2010-11. Dufour also marked her place in Husker history with the second-fastest 100-yard backstroke in school history (55.08). The Medicine Hat, Alberta native also helped the 200- and 400-yard medley relay teams to the record books, including the fastest 200-medley relay time in school history (1:41.08), along with teammates Shannon Guy, Kelsey Grushecky and Ariel Weech. Dufour earned a spot on the 2011 Big 12 Commissioner’s Spring Honor Roll.

2009-10 (FresHmAN)Dufour produced an impressive freshman season at Nebraska. She had 14 top-five finishes, which ranked ninth among the Huskers and fourth among NU freshmen. She recorded five wins, including three in the 200-yard backstroke and two in the 100-yard backstroke. Her times in the 100 and 200 backstrokes were the best by a Husker in 2009-10.

PrevIoUsDufour swam for the Alberta Marlin Aquatic Club for Coach Peter Schori in high school, and was named team captain in both 2007-08 and 2008-09. She also earned the team Leadership Award both years. Dufour competed in the 2008 Canadian Olympic Trials, and at the 2008 Age Group Nationals, where she finished third in the 100-yard backstroke.

Pablo MoralesHead Coach | 12th Season | 55-37 Career Record

Pablo Morales has been steadily rebuilding the Nebraska swimming and diving program entering his 12th season as the Huskers’ head coach. Under his leadership, Nebraska hopes to continue to climb in its second season in the Big Ten Conference in 2012-13.

A young Nebraska team completed its first season of Big Ten competition with a 3-2 dual record in 2011-12 that included wins over Iowa State and South Dakota State. The Huskers narrowly missed a dual win over Big Ten foe Illinois.

Nebraska’s increased competitiveness in the pool is a far cry from the starting point of the Husker program when Morales took over the job in 2001. In his first season at NU, the Huskers went winless in 2001-02 (0-3) with a depleted roster.

Three years later, NU raced to an 8-1 dual record in 2004-05 and became the first Husker swimming and diving team to win eight consecutive meets in school history. Most importantly, Morales led the Huskers out of the bottom of the Big 12 with a fourth-place finish in 2004 and a third-place showing in 2005. Nebraska has continued to pursue a climb in conference prominence as it has transitioned to the Big Ten.

The Huskers hope to regain the national prowess they enjoyed in the 1990s, when they captured five Big Eight and Big 12 titles from 1994 to 1999.

A 1987 graduate of Stanford University, Morales is one of the greatest male swimmers in U.S. history, winning an NCAA-record 11 individual titles. He also helped lead the Cardinal to three consecutive NCAA titles and four Pac-10 titles, while twice earning Pac-10 Swimmer-of-the-Year honors and garnering six Pac-10 titles himself.

Pablo Morales was a three-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time silver medalist from the 1984 (Los Angeles) and 1992 (Barcelona) Summer Games.

Morales remains the all-time leading scorer at the NCAA Championships, amassing 235 points. Morales was also the recipient of the 1987 Al Masters Award, which is Stanford's highest award for athletic performance, leadership and academic performance. He was the first male swimmer to win the award, and remains one of two to have accomplished that feat. Morales holds the Stanford record in the 200-yard butterfly (1:42.60) and held the school record in the 100-yard fly (46.25) until it was broken in 1998 by Sabir Muhammad (46.18).

While at Stanford, Morales was awarded the J.E. Sterling Award, which is presented to a student-athlete based on scholarship, leadership and community service. In addition, he served as the director of the Stanford Volunteers for Youth Program. Morales also found time to become a mainstay on the campus newspaper as the beat writer for the women's basketball team.

A CoSIDA Academic All-America selection in 1987, Morales earned a law degree from Cornell in June of 1994, despite taking two years off from law school to train and compete at the Olympics.

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

A m o n g M o r a l e s ' g r e a t e s t s w i m m i n g accomplishments in the pool is holding the world record in the 100-meter butterfly with a time of 52.84 from 1986 until 1995.

Morales' legend in the Olympic Games lives on today, as the Nebraska coach served on the bid committee for the 2008 U.S. Olympic swimming trials that took place in Omaha. Morales had the chance to see the selection process and serve a role in the decision that gave Nebraska its first Olympic event in state history.

The Swimming Trials were a resounding success, and Omaha proved to be a worthy host for the event. The attendance at the Qwest Center Omaha broke records for the largest swimming meet ever held in the United States. Nine world and 21 American records were broken in the eight-day meet, and nearly half of the competitors set personal lifetime bests in ideal swimming conditions inside the arena.

USA Swimming once again chose Omaha to be the site of the 2012 Swim Trials, as the CenturyLink Center was the focus of the entire nation in preparation for the 2012 London Games.

Before coming to Nebraska, Morales served as the head women's swimming coach at San Jose State University. He held the reins as head coach from 1998 until being named coach at Nebraska in July of 2001. Morales rejuvenated a Spartan program that was near the bottom of the Western Athletic Conference. He was named the 2000 WAC Coach of the Year for his efforts.

While at San Jose State, Morales rebuilt a program and took the Spartans to the NCAA Championships after a 14-year absence. During his tenure, Morales

produced six academic All-WAC swimmers. At the 2001 WAC Championships, five Spartans set school records under Morales' supervision, and three met NCAA qualification times. Seven others swam times that placed among the top three in school history.

Before his stint at SJSU, Morales served as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Stanford, during the 1997-98 season, helping lead the squad to the NCAA team title.

Morales also served as a graduate assistant at Cornell while pursuing his law degree. While at Cornell, Morales prepared and coached daily workouts for swimmers and assisted in recruiting. Morales has assisted in coaching with the San Jose Aquatics club group, as well as serving as head coach of the Stanford Masters Swim Team.

For Morales, the opportunity to coach at Nebraska was a welcome challenge.

"As a coach, taking over the responsibilities at Nebraska represents a great opportunity to take a program with success and use the resources that only Nebraska can offer-the support from the athletic department, the University, the Lincoln area and the state to take the program to a higher level," Morales said after he was hired. "Our goal is to take this program to the elite national level."

A powerful motivator, Morales hopes to keep his swimmers on the top of their games in and out of the pool, as Nebraska has established itself among the

hUSkERS.CoM | 51

nation's best in academic support and athletics. Over the past four seasons, nearly 80 percent of Morales' student-athletes have been named to the conference or Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll each semester.

"I want our swimmers to achieve their goals of faster times and lifetime bests," Morales said. "I want them to have the best season that they have ever had, and I also want us to establish a team atmosphere and build an excitement toward Husker swimming and diving."

Morales said he enjoys the challenge of competing in the Big Ten, one of the premier swimming and diving conferences in the country. The Huskers are expected to host three home duals and the Husker Invitational in 2012-13.

Former Stanford Head Coach Skip Kenny, who coached Morales at Stanford and also with Team USA, speaks highly of his former pupil.

"He's one of the most honest people that you will meet," Kenny said. "You will always get the truth out of him. He's very dedicated to the sport of swimming and to his athletes."

Kenny also recognizes Morales' charisma."As soon as the swimmers spend a few days or

weeks with him," Kenny said, "they will see how much he cares about them and the sport of swimming."

Morales also gets a vote of confidence that he will be able to turn Nebraska into a national title contender.

"He brings a high level of experience to build up the team," Kenny said. "He's been there and done that as far as swimming is concerned. I honestly believe that he is a better coach than he was a swimmer, and that is saying a lot since he was one of the best swimmers in the world. He has done things with kids that I thought I would never see."

Kenny has confidence in Morales' one-on-one ability to work with student-athletes.

"If there is a female swimmer out there that wants

to be the best in the world," Kenny said, "I'd send her to swim for Pablo."

Morales' experience as both an NCAA and international swimmer as well as a club and collegiate coach can only help him in coaching and recruiting.

"In my experiences, I have been fortunate to have had a long career as a competitor. I was able to train with coaches who I think are some of the best in the world," Morales said. "I have learned from them, and I have learned from myself. I believe that all of my experiences have prepared me for coaching. I have a good feel for the contours of teams that are successful. I know how they practice, train and compete."

In July of 2012, Morales named Patrick Rowan as an assistant coach. A Nebraska native with a long-time association with the Husker program, Rowan spent five years at Missouri before returning to Lincoln. In his five seasons in Columbia, Rowan helped MU climb from 38th at the 2008 NCAA Championships to 14th in the final national standings in 2012. He also played a major role in bringing multiple top-20 recruiting classes to Missouri.

“We are very excited to have Patrick come back to Nebraska,” Morales said. “He brings extensive and successful coaching and recruiting experience at the collegiate level. Patrick has a tremendous work ethic and an unmatched passion for Nebraska. He will make an immediate impact on this program and play a key role in helping us achieve our Big Ten Conference and NCAA goals.”

Morales named former Olympian Natasha Chikina as the head diving coach in June of 2005. Through seven seasons, she has guided Husker divers to 21 NCAA Zone appearances.

“She brings outstanding technical expertise combined with a tremendous coaching demeanor that will undoubtedly yield fabulous results at the Division

I level,” Morales said. “She is the perfect fit to build on the success of her predecessors here at Nebraska and be part of our development into a championship-level program.”

A gifted and noted public speaker and lecturer, Morales was a contributing author to The Swim Coaching Bible, published in 2001. In April of 2007, he was chosen as the U.S. Swimming Diversity Select Camp Head Coach, a four-day camp at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. Aside from in-pool training, Morales also led motivational and educational sessions and team-building activities to boys and girls from all over the nation who are part of an ethnically under-represented population that is less than 20 percent of the current USA Swimming membership.

Pablo is the son of Pedro and the late Blanca Morales, who came to the United States from Cuba in 1956. Morales and his wife, Viviana, have four boys, Sam (14), Benjamin (11), Eli (9) and Gustavo (2).

Morales was born in Chicago and grew up in Santa Clara, Calif., and enjoys golfing in his spare time.

“My job is to instill confidence in a swimmer and teach her to expect a higher level of performance from herself. I want each swimmer to open her mind to what is possible. I want her to strive to exceed what she has done in the past each and every day. I want her to expect that more is possible.” Coach Morales’ Philosophy

Patrick Rowan, a former volunteer assistant for the Huskers and a long-time coach in the Nebraska Aquatics program, rejoins the Nebraska staff for the 2012-13 season after spending the past five years at Missouri. As an assistant for the Tigers, Rowan helped build the team into one of the nation’s top 15 programs.

“We are very excited to have Patrick come back to Nebraska,” Head Coach Pablo Morales said. “He brings extensive and successful coaching and recruiting experience at the collegiate level. Patrick has a tremendous work ethic and an unmatched passion for Nebraska. He will make an immediate impact on this program and play a key role in helping us achieve our Big Ten Conference and NCAA goals.”

A Nebraska native, Rowan helped orchestrate a steady rise into national prominence at Missouri. In his first season at MU, the Lincoln Southeast High School graduate helped the Tiger women’s team finish 38th at the 2008 NCAA Championships. After a 28th-place showing in 2009, the Tigers climbed to 23rd in 2011 before finishing 14th at the 2012 NCAA meet.

Rowan served as the power sprints coach while also working with the middle distance group at Missouri. He was the recruiting coordinator for the Tiger men’s program while assisting with recruiting for the women’s team. The Tiger men’s program’s 2011 recruiting class was ranked seventh nationally by collegeswimming.com, while the women’s class was ranked 18th in the country. He also served as the director of the Mizzou Swim Camp and coached the Mizzou Swim Team (USA Swimming Club).

Before heading to Missouri, Rowan served as a volunteer assistant on Morales’ Husker staff in 2006-07. Rowan assisted primarily with Nebraska’s breaststroke and individual medley swimmers.

From 2002 until 2007, Rowan served as the head coach and general manager of the Nebraska Aquatics swim team, where he was the primary coach of the high school and collegiate swimmers. He also served as an age group coach for swimmers from ages 6 to 24 for Nebraska Aquatics from 2000 to 2002.

From 2003 to 2007, he served as the age group chairman for the Midwestern

Swimming Executive Board. He was named Midwestern Swimming Coach of the Year in 2006-07, after being named its Age Group Coach of the Year in 2004-05.

A competitive swimmer from 1985 to 2001, Rowan swam collegiately at Eastern Michigan, helping EMU to a pair of Mid-American Conference championship teams. Individually, he was a 12-time finalist at the MAC Championships for the Eagles.

As a prep swimmer at Lincoln Southeast, Rowan was a two-time Nebraska Class A state champion and a member of a state championship team for the Knights. He was also a team captain and a seven-time Junior National qualifier.

Rowan, who earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology from Eastern Michigan in 2000, received his master’s degree in education with an emphasis in school and counseling psychology/sport psychology from Missouri in 2009. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. with a similar emphasis in sport psychology.

He and his wife, Miranda, have two daughters, Reese and Quinn.

Former Olympian Natasha Chikina (pronounced chick-EE-nuh) is entering her eighth season as Nebraska's head diving coach following a successful diving career at the University of Southern California and two summer Olympic Games. Chikina has proven herself worthy of her position by leading the Husker divers to 21 NCAA Zone diving meet appearances the past seven years. Last season, Chikina and the Huskers sent five divers to the NCAA Zone meet, including Amy Herman, Kaitlan Walker, Alyson Ramsey, Kailey Harman and Payton Michaud. Four of those five divers return to the roster in 2012-13. With Chikina's own success on the boards, she will look to utilize her experience in the sport of diving and continue to lead a talented Husker diving squad to the top of the conference, and qualify competitors for the NCAA Championships. "As a coach, my job is to recognize the highest potential of each diver," Chikina said. "I want to make them believe in themselves by creating a positive and goal-setting environment. With hard work, discipline and encouragement, I want to bring every one of them to their

highest level of performance." Chikina, a native of Kazakhstan, competed at the Atlanta (1996) and Sydney (2000) Summer Olympic Games. Chikina finished 15th at the Atlanta Games, before capturing a ninth-place finish on the 10-meter platform in Sydney. Between competitions, Chikina placed fourth at the 1998 NCAA Championships for the University of Southern California, where she earned NCAA All-America honors in 1997 and 1998. She was also the Pac-10 champion on the three-meter springboard in 1997 and 1998. Chikina competed at the Goodwill Games (1994), the World Championships (1994-96) and the FINA Grand Prix (2000), placing as high as third in both the World Championships and FINA Grand Prix. Following her diving career as an athlete, Chikina immediately began her quest to become a head diving coach. She was the assistant coach of the Trojan Diving Club from 1998 to 2001, coaching two Junior Olympic national champions, and the assistant diving coach at her alma mater, USC in 1998-99, helping coach future Olympians Troy Dumais and Dorte Linder.

From 2001 to 2005, Chikina served as the assistant head coach at the U.S. Diving Regional Training Center where she took on many responsibilities. Primarily, she coached a two-time Oklahoma state high school champion, two Junior Olympic National Team members and four Junior Olympic National qualifiers. Among her other responsibilities, Chikina scouted and recruited, judged competitions up to the national level and scheduled team trips, camps and programs. Chikina also coached at the 2003 U.S. Diving National Training Camp, instructing junior national-level athletes in the spotting belt, trampoline and dryboard. Chikina earned her bachelor's degree in social science and communications from USC in 1999, after completing her physical education and coaching degree from the Kazakh Institute of Physical Education in Almaty, Kazakhstan in 1996. Natasha and her husband, Kris, moved to Lincoln in the summer of 2005. Kris served as a volunteer assistant for the Husker diving team in 2005-06 and is now coaching for the Nebraska Diving Club. The couple have two daughers, Katerina (6) and Sophia (2).

Tom OsborneAthletic Director | Sixth Year

Hall of Fame football coach Tom Osborne has continued to leave a lasting impression on the history of Nebraska Athletics since returning to lead the Husker program as the school’s 13th athletic director on Oct. 16, 2007. Osborne, who led Nebraska to three national championships (1994, 1995, 1997) and 255 victories in his 25 years as the Huskers’ head football coach, has continued to use his impressive leadership skills to guide the NU athletic department as a whole over the past four seasons.

With the core values of integrity, trust, respect, teamwork and loyalty serving as guiding principles for Nebraska’s 23-sport program as a whole, Osborne has made historic decisions to help the University of Nebraska athletic programs for years to come.

In June of 2010, Osborne joined Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman and Big Ten Conference Commissioner Jim Delany to announce the Huskers would join the Big Ten beginning on July 1, 2011. Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten will continue to add University-wide academic opportunities, while providing financial stability for the athletic department for years to come.

Just a few months later, Osborne announced an aggressive expansion plan for the east side of Memorial Stadium that will increase attendance past 90,000 for the first time, while continuing Nebraska’s NCAA record-setting sellout streak. The expansion, which is set for completion before the 2013 football season, will include athletic and academic research components.

In the spring of 2010, the city of Lincoln also received voter approval to begin construction on the 16,000-seat Pinnacle Bank Arena, which will serve as the new competitive home for both Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball programs beginning in 2013-14.

The basketball programs, the wrestling program and many of NU’s other sports also have benefitted from the new Hendricks Training Complex at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The facility, which opened in October of 2011, includes

practice and team areas, and greatly expanded athletic medicine and strength training areas.

The Nebraska baseball and softball programs also received a new indoor practice facility at Haymarket Park, which opened in the fall of 2011.

The first step in Osborne’s aggressive building plan for Nebraska’s facilities began in the summer of 2010, as the Huskers broke ground on the Student Life Complex on the west side of Memorial Stadium. The Student Life Complex, which opened in the fall of 2010, directly benefits every Husker student-athlete with expanded academic resources.

While Osborne has helped initiate landmark moves off the field, he has continued to help coaches and student-athletes focus on Nebraska’s tradition of competitive success.

In 2011-12, 10 Husker teams finished among the top 25 in the nation, including the Nebraska football team’s New Year’s Day appearance in the Capital One Bowl.

One of Osborne’s first major decisions as athletic director was to hire Bo Pelini as the Huskers’ football coach. Pelini, who had spent the 2003 campaign as NU’s defensive coordinator, has energized Nebraska’s storied tradition with four consecutive nine-win seasons. Pelini’s Huskers have finished among the Associated Press top 25 in each of the last three seasons. The football program also contributed three CoSIDA Academic All-Americans to Nebraska’s nation-leading total of 299 all-time, across all sports.

Coach Mark Manning’s Husker wrestling program added a pair of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. On the mat, NU tied for 21st at the NCAA Championships and have finished in the top 25 at five consecutive NCAA Championships during Osborne’s time as NU’s athletic director.

The tradition-rich NU volleyball program captured the Huskers’ first-ever Big Ten Conference title in any sport in 2011, finishing No. 12 nationally while advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Coach John Cook’s squad has claimed four conference crowns since Osborne’s return to Nebraska.

The Husker women’s gymnastics team led by Coach Dan Kendig added its first Big Ten championship, while finishing eighth nationally in 2012 for its third straight top 10 finish. The Nebraska women’s indoor track and field team contributed another Big Ten title. Coach Gary Pepin’s men added a tie for 11th at the NCAA Championships during the outdoor season for its best team finish since 2003, after tying for 23rd at the NCAA Indoor Championships. The NU men’s and women’s track and field teams have combined for four conference crowns, while producing eight top-20 finishes over the past five years.

The NU women’s basketball team produced one of its best seasons in school history by rolling to a 24-9 record that included a run to the Big Ten Tournament championship game. Coach Connie Yori’s Huskers finished No. 17 in the final AP poll and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the third time since Osborne’s return to Nebraska. The 2010 Huskers ran to the best season in school history with a Big 12 title and an NCAA Sweet 16 berth in 2010.

Coach Scott Jacobson led the Nebraska women’s tennis team to the best season in school history in 2012, posting a school-record 24 wins and No. 16 final ranking. The Huskers advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, marking the third straight season the team has advanced to the postseason. The Husker men’s tennis program added its first two NCAA appearances in school history in 2010 and 2011.

Coach Bill Straub’s bowling team added a third-place finish at the 2012 NCAA Championships, marking the program’s fifth straight top-eight showing. The Husker bowlers claimed the 2009 NCAA title. The Husker softball team made three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances from 2009 to 2011, while the Husker women’s golf and baseball programs both earned NCAA Regional bids in 2008.

Osborne made his second coaching hire since his return

to Nebraska, when he named two-time Major League All-Star, three-time Gold Glove award winner, and former No. 1 MLB Draft pick Darin Erstad as the baseball team’s new coach on June 2, 2011. Erstad was not only one of the best Husker baseball players in history, he was the starting punter on NU’s 1994 national championship football team coached by Osborne.

The baseball program responded by posting a 35-23 record in his first season. It marked a five-game improvement in the win column over 2011. Osborne made another high-profile hire with addition of men’s basketball coach Tim Miles on March 24, 2012. Osborne also hired former Husker Stacy Underwood as NU’s fourth rifle coach on May 24, 2012.

Academically, Nebraska produced eight CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2011-12, increasing its nation-leading total to 299 all-time, across all sports. NU also graduated a school-record 155 student-athletes from August of 2011 through May of 2012.

Before being asked by Chancellor Perlman to return to Nebraska as athletic director in 2007, Osborne served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives (Nebraska’s 3rd congressional district) from 2000 to 2006.

He returned to academia following a 2006 gubernatorial bid, serving as a senior lecturer at Nebraska in the College of Business Administration, teaching leadership and business ethics, in the fall of 2007. Osborne also worked as a consultant for local college athletic departments for two years.

Osborne and his wife, Nancy, continue to pour their time and support into the TeamMates mentoring program, which they founded in 1991. TeamMates provides encouragement to school-aged youth to help them graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education.

Osborne’s leadership of the TeamMates program began while he was putting the final touches on one of the best coaching careers in college football history. The Hastings, Neb., native, who earned master’s and doctoral degrees in educational psychology from the University of Nebraska, was named NU’s 25th head coach following the 1972 season.

In 25 seasons with Osborne at the helm, the Huskers mounted a 255-49-3 record - the sixth-most wins in major college history. Osborne’s .836 winning percentage ranked fifth all-time. His career came to a close with a 42-17 win over No. 3 Tennessee in the 1998 Orange Bowl, when he became the first coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion. Following his career, he became one of just four coaches in history to have the mandatory three-year waiting period waived for induction into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in December of 1998.

Osborne’s 1994 and 1995 teams allowed Nebraska to become just the second school in history to post back-to-back perfect national championship seasons (Oklahoma 1955-56). Nebraska put together the best five-year run in college football history from 1993 to 1997, going 60-3 with five straight 11-win seasons.

Osborne led NU to 13 conference crowns, including six of his last seven seasons on the sideline. All 25 of his Husker teams won at least nine games and went to a bowl, while 15 won 10-or-more games.

In the classroom, the NU football program totaled 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in Osborne’s 25 years. In fact, he accumulated more football Academic All-Americans in his 25 years as coach than any other football program in the nation has produced in its history.

Prior to becoming head coach, Osborne spent five seasons under Devaney, helping the Huskers win back-to-back national championships in 1970 and 1971. In 1973, Osborne succeeded Devaney, who also served as Nebraska’s Athletic Director from 1967 to 1993.

Osborne and his wife, Nancy, have three adult children, Mike, Ann and Suzanne and four grandchildren.

However, maintaining the conference’s status as one of the preeminent athletic conference’s in the country also endures as an important component of the Big Ten student-athlete experience. Recognized as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten strives for success from its student-athletes not only on the field and in the classroom, but around the world as well.

ACADEMICSAll Big Ten Universities have been granted Tier One Status by the Carnegie

Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, a distinction awarded to just over 100 universities in the country. Big Ten schools have produced more than 1,400 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, more than any other conference, including 36 in the last academic year.

The Big Ten leads all conferences with the highest number of ranked graduate school programs among the top 25 according to U.S. News and World Report in 2012. The Big Ten ranks first with 30 top-25 programs in the fields of law, medicine (research and primary care), business and engineering.

including titles for Illinois men’s gymnastics, Minnesota women’s ice hockey, Northwestern women’s lacrosse, Ohio State fencing and synchronized swimming, Penn State wrestling and Wisconsin men’s cross country.

The Big Ten led all conferences with national titles in 12 different NCAA-sponsored championships from 2002-03 to 2011-12. Over that time period, the Big Ten produced championships in cross country, fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.

STuDENT-AThLETE OPPORTuNITIESBig Ten universities provide over $136 million in direct financial aid to more than

10,000 student-athlete, more than any conference.The Big Ten sponsors 25 official conference sports, 12 for men and 13 for women.

The 26th conference sport, men’s ice hockey, will begin in 2013.

TELEvISION ExPOSuREThe Big Ten’s media agreements with CBS Sports, ABC/ESPN, FOx Sports and the

Big Ten Network (BTN) provide the conference with its greatest television exposure ever. Nearly 1,000 Big Ten events are produced and distributed nationally on an annual basis.

In 2006, the Big Ten created the first national conference-owned television network. The Big Ten Network launched on Aug. 30, 2007, and now is in its sixth year of operation. It is available to 75 million homes in the United States and Canada, through agreements with more than 300 cable, satellite and telco providers. It is also available in 20 countries.

ATTENDANCEBig Ten fans are some of the nation’s most supportive, with more than 10 million

patrons attending conference home contests during the 2011-12 seasons for football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball alone.

hONORING LEGENDS. buILDING LEADERS.The mission of the Big Ten Conference has always been to excel athletically without

compromising the priority our member institutions assign to their academic standards and to their commitment to student academic success. We seek to celebrate the many accomplishments of Big Ten student-athletes while continuously reinforcing each of our member institutions’ high academic standards. Striking that important balance between academics and athletics is integral to the Big Ten’s identity, and the Big Ten’s “Honor Legends. Building Leaders” campaign links directly to the Big Ten mission.

In addition to the season-best individual efforts at the Big Ten Championships, Nebraska’s 200-yard medley relay team of Guy, Weech, Rebekah Land and Hayley Martin posted a 1:43.26 to take 11th.

While Nebraska’s swimming season ended with solid times at the Big Ten Championships, the Huskers hit the water to open the season nearly six months earlier at the Scarlet and Cream intrasquad meet on Sept. 30. After a successful start and another entertaining exhibition swim in the annual Alumni meet on Oct. 8, the Huskers opened the regular season with a 193-99 victory over South Dakota State at the Devaney Natatorium on Oct. 22.

Ten Huskers claimed victories against the Jackrabbits, including diving wins by Michaud in both the one-meter (265.95) and three-meter (290.40) events.

Martin added a pair of wins of her own in the 50 (24.94) and 500 (53.41) freestyles. Pons, Guy, Dufour, Strecker, Land, Kelly Dunn, Natalie Morris and Morgan Flannigan added wins for the Huskers on the day.

The Huskers made their first road trip of the year the following weekend, when they traveled to Houston, Texas, for the Hoilday Inn and Suites Invitational. NU finished fourth at the meet with a final team score of 575.

Martin led the Huskers with a third-place finish in the 200 freestyle, while Ramsey added a third-place showing in the one-meter dive. The Huskers’ 400-yard freestyle relay team pitched in a fourth-place finish, while Pons took sixth in the 1,650 freestyle. Overall, NU claimed top-10 spots in 14 events.

The Huskers returned home two weeks later to swim to a 192-100 win over Nebraska-Omaha at the Devaney Natatorium on Nov. 11. NU improved to 15-0 all-time against the Mavericks by winning each of the first six events in the meet.

Nebraska’s 200-yard medley relay team of Dufour, Guy, Morris and Martin won the first event of the day, followed by individual wins from Riley Seidel (1,000 free), Pons (200 free), Martin (100 back), Strecker (100 breast) and Guy (200 fly).

Pons added two more titles with wins in both the 100 and 500 freestyles, while Dufour added a win in the 200 backstroke. Morris capped NU’s swimming wins with a victory in the 100 butterfly.

In the diving well, Michaud claimed the one-meter dive with a then-career-best score of 284.63, while Walker captured the three-meter crown with a career-best 294.88.

The following weekend, the Huskers made their first trip of the 2011-12 season to a Big Ten destination to compete in the TYR Invitational in Evanston, Ill. NU took fourth overall with a 517, led by strong performances from Pons and Martin.

Pons claimed runner-up honors in the 500 freestyle, while Martin added a runner-up finish in the 100 freestyle. The duo also joined forced with Land and Dunn on Nebraska’s runner-up 400-yard freestyle relay at the TYR Invite.

After a busy November of swimming, the Husker divers took center stage in December. The NU divers opened the month at the Hawkeye Invitational, Dec. 2-4, where Michaud produced a then-career-best score of 306.05 to win the three-meter dive. Herman finished second with a 264.85.

After a strong showing in Iowa City, the Husker divers headed to Knoxville, Tenn., for U.S. Diving Nationals on Dec. 15. Walker and Ramsey teamed up in the three-meter synchronized competition to finish ninth overall to highlight the Husker efforts.

The 2011-12 Husker swimming and diving squad battled and improved throughout its first season in the Big Ten. The team captured three dual wins, including victories over South Dakota State, Nebraska-Omaha and Iowa State. The Huskers also produced their best performances of the year at the 2012 Big Ten Championships in Iowa City, Iowa, although as a team NU settled for an 11th-place finish.

Three weeks after the Big Ten Championships, Alyson Ramsey, Amy Herman, Kaitlan Walker, Kailey Harmon and Payton Michaud represented the Huskers at the NCAA Zone Diving Meet in Iowa City. Herman led Nebraska with an eighth-place finish in the platform diving event, while Michaud and Ramsey both earned spots in the three-meter finals. Michaud’s final score of 569.70 earned her a 12th-place finish, while Ramsey’s 558.10 brought home 17th. In the one-meter dive, Walker reached the finals and scored a 483.60 to place 18th.

While the NU divers capped their season with solid performances at the Zone Diving Meet, the swimmers added several season bests at the Big Ten meet.

Shannon Guy swam her way into the Husker record books with one of the top-five times in school history in the 100-yard butterfly at the Big Ten meet. Guy clocked a 54.23 to finish 11th overall at the Big Ten Championships. Her previous career-best time came with a 54.54 at the 2011 Big 12 Championships. She also notched a season-best time of 2:02.48 in the 200 butterfly to finish 15th at the Big Ten meet. Guy added an NU season-best 1:04.76 in the 100-yard breaststroke at the championships.

Sophomore Bailey Pons smashed her career best in the 1,650 freestyle by posting a time of 16:34.75, which was nearly four seconds faster than her sixth-place time at the 2011 Big 12 Championships. Pons’ record time was good for a 19th-place finish at the Big Ten Championships. She added a 37th-place finish in the 500 freestyle in a Husker season-best 4:53.57 at the Big Ten meet. Pons also notched an NU season-best 1:49.52 in the 200 freestyle at the championships.

Junior Ellan Dufour clocked the second-fastest 200 backstroke of her career with a time of 2:01.07 to take 26th. She added a 55.97 in the 100 backstroke to finish 22nd.

Ariel Weech added season-best times for Nebraska in the 50 (23.47) and 100 freestyles (50.16) at the Big Ten Championships, while Kristin Strecker produced a team season best in the 200 breaststroke (2:20.76). Katie Davis pitched in team season bests in both the 200 IM (2:05.68) and the 400 IM (4:25.99).

annual training trip over the holiday break. NU used the practice time to prepare for a road dual to open the second semester of the 2011-12 campaign against former Big 12 Conference foe Kansas.

In a hard-fought battle that came down to the wire, the Huskers dropped a narrow 155-145 decision to the Jayhawks in Lawrence, Kan., on Jan. 14.

In the pool, Martin won the 200 freestyle and shared a victory in the 50 freestyle with Weech. Guy added a victory in the 100 butterfly, before NU’s 200-yard freestyle relay closed the day with a win.

In the diving well, Walker claimed a win in the one-meter event (285.29), just ahead of Michaud.

As close as the dual with Jayhawks ended, the Huskers’ first head-to-head dual with a Big Ten foe was even closer. Nebraska welcomed Illinois to the Devaney Natatorium on Jan. 21, and the Huskers fell to the Fighting Illini by the slimmest of margins, 152-148.

The Illini started the day off hot, winning the 200-yard medley in 1:45.70 over the Husker squad of Dufour, Guy, Morris and Weech (1:47.16). NU’s Pons, Flannigan and Mailene Leslie responded for the Big Red by sweeping the top three spots in the 1,000-yard freestyle. Martin added a victory in the 200 freestyle in a time of 1:51.99.

In the final event of the afternoon, the Nebraska team of Martin, Dunn, Pons and Weech won the 400-yard freestyle relay, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Illini from claiming the dual win.

In the final regular-season dual of the year, the Huskers welcomed Iowa State to the Devaney Natatorium for Senior Day. It was the final dual at Devaney for five seniors, including Bobbi Balogh, Mailene Leslie, D’Arcy Schmidt, Riley Seidel and Caroline Shea.

The Huskers sent their seniors out in style with a 200-100 victory over the Cyclones. Pons took the first win for the Big Red with a season-best time of 10:12.88 in the 1,000 freestyle.

Michaud closed out the regular season strong by sweeping the one-meter (290.02) and three-meter (308.67) diving events. Her score on the three-meter dive was a season best for Michaud.

Dufour swam to a pair of victories in the 100 and 200 backstrokes, while Weech, Dunn and Martin swept the top three spots in the 100 freestyle.

Nebraska capped a winning day as the 400-yard freestyle relay team of Martin, Weech, Land and Dunn cruised to victory in the 400-yard freestyle relay.

In addition to finding success in the water, the Huskers produced a strong season in the classroom. Overall, 17 Nebraska women’s swimmers and divers captured academic All-Big Ten honors. Seniors Balogh, Leslie, Seidel and Shea capped their careers among NU’s academic honor winners. Balogh and Leslie closed their careers as three-time academic all-conference performers for the Huskers.

Juniors Ramsey, Amy Herman, Kelsey Larson, Ashley Reiter and Sara Weinberg joined sophomores Michaud, Pons, Guy, Strecker, Grammar, Morgan Flannigan, Kailey Harmon and Megan Ziemann on the academic All-Big Ten squad.

Nebraska’s 12 returning academic All-Big Ten honorees will help form a firm foundation both in competition and in the classroom for the Huskers in the future.

Shannon Guy finished 11th in the 100 butterfly at the 2012 Big Ten Championships and competed at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb.

Penny HeynsAmanzimtoti, South Africa- Olympic Gold Medalist- Olympic Bronze Medalist- World Record Holder

It's not every day you run across a golden penny.

But for South Africans and Nebraskans alike, there was one shining bright at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.

Penny Heyns, a former University of Nebraska standout, earned two gold medals and became the first female in Olympic history to sweep the breaststroke events.

Heyns' whirlwind year of success began on the

collegiate level. In Husker suit and cap at the 1996 Big Eight Championships in mid-February, Heyns set a then-NCAA and U.S. Open record in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:08.90), as well as an NU record in the 100-yard event (1:00.18) to help Nebraska win its third consecutive conference crown.

After setting the records, Heyns was forced to travel home for the South African Olympic Trials, which were inconveniently scheduled between the two most important collegiate meets, the conference and national championships.

Nevertheless, it proved to be a trip Heyns would never forget. During the preliminary heat of the 100-meter breaststroke at the trials, Heyns

set a world record with a time of 1:07.46. The time broke the record held by Australia's Samantha Riley, who had set a

mark of 1:07.69 in September, 1994. Just days after her return from South Africa, Heyns became the first Husker

to win a national championship at the NCAA Championships in Ann Arbor, Mich. Heyns dominated the 100-yard breaststroke with a pool-record 1:00.27 and also

earned a silver medal in the 200-yard breaststroke with a 2:09.71 performance.Heyns then entered the Olympics as the frontrunner in the 100-meter

breaststroke event. She proved she had earned that title in the preliminaries, as she blew away the competition and shattered her own world record in a clocking of 1:07.02 in the process.

In the finals, Heyns got off to a quick start, but didn't dominate as she had in the prelims. America's Amanda Beard began her trademark kick at the 50-meter mark and almost caught Heyns at the wall. Heyns held on to finish in 1:07.72 and edged Beard (1:08.09), to claim gold for the first time.

Two days later, Heyns proved she wasn't finished.After setting an Olympic record of 2:26.63 in the preliminaries of the 200-meter

breaststroke, Heyns was timed at 2:25.41 in the finals and again beat out Beard (2:25.75) for the gold. Beard entered the Olympics ranked No. 1 in the 200, but couldn't catch up with the quick pace Heyns set from the start.

"That was one of the hardest races I ever swam," Heyns said following the race. "I'm just glad I had the guts to hang in there."

At a press conference in Lincoln, Neb., the week following her gold medal performances, Heyns admitted she was surprised about the win in the 200.

"In some ways, I sit back, and I really can't believe it," Heyns said. "The 200 (win) was totally unexpected. I don't think it has sunk in yet."

An extremely successful career at Nebraska fine-tuned Heyns for Olympic success. A 15-time All-American and 14-time conference champion for the Huskers, Heyns left Nebraska as the most decorated swimmer in the program's history. Heyns' accomplishments at Nebraska and on the international level will always be recognized.

Heyns has continually showed her appreciation for the University of Nebraska and its athletic department.

Following her double gold medal performance, Heyns didn't waste any time in thanking the Nebraska Swimming and Diving Program and its support staff for the role they played in her Olympic success.

"There is no way I would even be swimming today if I didn't come to Nebraska," Heyns said. "Nebraska has done so much for me that I could never express it. It's not just swimming, it's a family to me -- the whole coaching staff and all my friends."

For the next four years Heyns continued to define excellence in the sport of swimming on a world-class level by producing one of the greatest performances in the history of the sport.

At the 1999 Pan Pacific Championships, Heyns established three world records. Winning gold in both the 100- and 200-meter breaststrokes, Heyns touched the wall in 1:06.52 and 2:23.64, respectively, both world bests. In addition, she swam an exhibition 50-meter breaststroke, posting another world record with a time of 30.83.

Heyns took home her third medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics by earning a bronze medal in the 100-meter breaststroke in a time of 1:07.55.
