4 Head Coach Garland O Keeffe Garland O K Keeffe Head Coach Fourth Season Indiana University, 1994 Garland O Keeffe enters her fourth season as the head coach of the Iowa women s swimming team. In her first three seasons, O Keeffe has compiled an dual record, going 6-12 in the Big Ten. She has coached six all-americans, six NCAA qualifiers and a Big Ten Champion. The Hawkeyes have also shattered 24 school records in the last three years. O Keeffe and the Hawkeyes had outstanding success in The team placed 20th with 41 points at the NCAA Championships - its highest finish and point total at that meet in school history - and crowned three all-americans in Jennifer Skolaski, Lisette Planken and Nancilea Underwood. It was the first time during her tenure that O Keeffe had three NCAA qualifiers, and all three came home all-americans - the most crowned by the Hawkeyes at one national meet since Iowa posted an 8-4 overall season record, which was the first winning season under O Keeffe, and the first for the program since During her first two seasons, O Keeffe, coached Melissa Loehndorf and Allison Lyle to all-america status. Loehndorf earned her second all-america honor in 2001, placing 16th in the 200-yard butterfly after winning a Big Ten title that event. She earned her first all- America honor in the 1,650-yard freestyle in Lyle was O Keeffe s first two-time all-american, earning honors in the 100- yard breaststroke in 2001 and in the 200-yard breaststroke in Skolaski became the third NCAA qualifier of O Keeffe s career, competing in the 100 and 200-yard backstroke, and the 500-yard freestyle at the 2002 NCAA Championships her freshman year.

While the Hawkeyes have recorded 20 top-five finishes at the conference meet in the past three seasons - including 10 in they have not placed higher than seventh as a team and have only crowned one individual champion. Two of O Keeffe s season goals are an upper-division finish at the Big Ten meet, and to have more Hawkeyes atop the winner s stand at the end of competition. Under O Keeffe, Iowa s success in the classroom has matched its success in the pool. In three seasons, there have been 23 academic all-big Ten selections, including 12 in , and two academic all-americans. The team has earned CSCAA academic all-america honors twice during O Keeffe s tenure.

8 Season Preview By Jana Hemphill and James Roe The Iowa women s swimming and diving team enters the season with a squad of four seniors, nine juniors, nine sophomores and five freshmen. Head Coach Garland O Keeffe has high hopes for her team. Senior Co-Captain Christie Hooper If we could move up in the Big Ten standings, it would be phenomenal, said O Keeffe. Our bigger goal is to qualify more athletes for the NCAA Championships. The Hawkeyes lose only two seniors from last year s squad that placed 20th at the NCAA Championships - the highest placing in school history - on the all-america performances of juniors Lisette Planken, Jennifer Skolaski and Nancilea Underwood. Skolaski and senior Christie Hooper will serve as team co-captains this season. I m excited about the leadership for this season, said O Keeffe. The senior class is comprised of Michelle Bagi, Lisa Haunz, Hooper and Jackie Molzahn. Hooper looks to build on an impressive season, where she had 30 top-five finishes, including 10 wins. Her strengths will include middle distance freestyle and the butterfly. Bagi and Haunz will continue to bring strength to the backstroke and butterfly. Molzahn will add depth to the sprint freestyle events. The large junior class will continue its strong efforts from last season. Skolaski is expected to build upon last season, where she broke school records in the 100 backstroke and 400 individual medley. Skolaski earned second team all-big Ten honors for taking second in the 200 backstroke at the Big Ten Championships and also earned all-america honors for her eighth place NCAA finish in the 100 backstroke. She notched 33 top-five finishes, including 18 wins. Other returning juniors are Erin Cochran, Kristen Eide, Katelyn Eustis, Molly Gable, Caitlin Girdley, Katie Haeger and Abby Van Maaren. The juniors will be a force in sprint freestyle events, with Cochran, Gable, Girdley, Haeger and Van Maaren competing. Eustis and Girdley will also add depth to the middle distance freestyle. The breaststroke events will be led by Eide, Haeger and Kunnemann, while the backstroke will look to Eustis and Van Maaren. The sophomore class is returning Andrea Hemphill, Karen Kelly, Katie Koenig, Erica Noah, Jeni Sanderson and Kelly Werner. Junior Co-Captain & All-American Jennifer Skolaski Junior Kristen Eide NCAA Qualifiers, 35 All-Americans, 16 Big Ten Champions

9 Season Preview Werner led the team last season in the 100 butterfly and looks to strengthen her times not only in the butterfly, but also in the backstroke and sprint freestyle. Hemphill led the Hawkeyes in the 200 butterfly last season. Joining her in the individual medley will be Koenig. The team should also get strong performances from Koenig and Noah in middle distance freestyle. Sanderson and Kelly will compete for the Hawkeyes in the sprint freestyle events. Newcomers for the Hawkeyes are Emmy Haeger, Katie Martin, Erin Petty, Robin Samples, Jaclyn Sarna and Joyce VanKeulen. Petty and Samples were cochampions in the 50 freestyle at the Junior All-American state meet last year, and will help fill Lisette Planken the sprint freestyle events. Haeger will join them in adding depth to the sprint freestyle. Martin, a sophomore transfer from Wisconsin, is expected to bring strength to the sprint and middle distance freestyle. VanKeulen, the second athlete to hail from the Netherlands, will also add depth to the middle distance freestyle. O Keeffe is expecting much from the freestyle events, and especially the freestyle relay teams this year. I m most excited about the 800 free relay because we are very strong in the 200 free. I believe we have a good chance of qualifying for the NCAA Championships, said O Keeffe. As always, diving will be a strength for the Hawkeyes, although all-american Nancilea Underwood has opted not to compete this season as she has been invited to train with the US National team in preparation for Olympic trials. Senior Jackie Molzahn Lisette Planken returns from an outstanding season and an even more impressive summer. Planken finished fourth in one-meter diving and ninth in the three-meter event. She also managed to set the one-meter diving championship record at points. Planken represented her native country, the Netherlands at the World Championship games this summer where she placed eighth in the one-meter and twenty-third in the three-meter. She also competed at the World University Games in South Korea, placing eighth in the onemeter and 10th in the three-meter. Katie Bures will help add some depth to the diving squad after sitting out last year. Our team continues to move in the right direction. The entire coaching staff is looking forward to building on the successes we experienced last season, said O Keeffe.

26 Continued Success After Swimming The best part about being a Hawkeye is the people you meet and become friends with. You are exposed to so many individuals who all have the same goal. I love the team atmosphere and the idea that everyone takes care of each other. We are like a family. Dana Burkhardt B.A. English and Publications, 1998 B.A. Journalism and Mass Communications, 1998 My Iowa swimming experience has benefited me in many aspects of my life. I gained instant family and friendships at Iowa that I will hold onto for a lifetime. I have taken with me lessons on self-discipline, work ethic, leadership and time management that will help me to be successful throughout life. Andrea Pennington Diehl Currently works in Washington D.C. for Iowa Congressman Jim Nussell Memories and opportunities, both personally and professionally, are the greatest gifts that I took with me from the University of Iowa. I formed friendships that will last a lifetime and have memories that will keep me laughing and smiling for even longer. The dedication, determination and drive that I developed as a student-athlete have opened doors for me as I pursue my career as an engineer. Attending a University as an athlete develops skills and teamwork that are priceless in the workforce and will pay off in endless opportunities. It s great to be a Hawkeye! Beth Katz B.S.

37 Athletic Student Services Since its inception in 1979, Athletics Student Services has evolved from a two-person, academic support service to a broad-based, nationally prominent student support services operation. Its purpose is to assist student athletes to become tomorrow s leaders by offering academic and personal support services to assist them in making timely and satisfactory progress toward their degrees. Athletic Student Services focuses on four important areas academic counseling and monitoring, educational and support programs, retention programs and compliance services when working with student-athletes. Following are descriptions of some of the programs, services and opportunities available to student-athletes in those areas. Athletics Learning Center The $4.6 million Russell A. and Ann Gerdin Athletics Learning Center, scheduled to open in August of 2003, will give all Iowa student-athletes a state of the art facility to help them with their educations. The Athletics Learning Center is a multilevel, 20,000 square foot facility which will provide a computer center, study areas, classes and meeting places for all Hawkeye student-athletes. The Learning Center will feature an auditorium that converts into two classrooms, separate study rooms for under and upper-class student-athletes that feature 28 study carrels, a computer lab, five tutorial rooms, the book loan repository, office space for Iowa s Student Services staff and a display area to recognize the academic accomplishments of Iowa s student-athletes. Academic Counseling and Monitoring Athletics coordinators work closely with student-athletes and their university-assigned advisors from the time they arrive on campus until the time they leave the University. Along with focusing on academic planning matters such as goal-setting, plans of study, choosing majors and degree requirements, coordinators also help student-athletes understand NCAA, Big Ten and University academic policies. They also solicit feedback from instructors on a student-athlete s academic progress. Tutoring Tutoring is available free of charge to all student-athletes. Tutors, who are post-graduates and teachers, help with course content as well as study strategies and are available in virtually all general education subjects. Retention A full-time staff member directs the retention program, which identifies student-athletes who may need tailored academic assistance and structure, and implements individualized learning plans to help them succeed. Such plans may include daily and weekly planning sessions with athletics coordinators and retention staff, tutoring, study groups, mainstreaming into on-campus services like the writing center, math labs and services for students with learning disabilities. Transition Seminar All new student-athletes attend an eightweek transition seminar during the fall semester that is geared toward helping them make the transition from high school to college successfully. Seminar topics include time management skills, learning and study strategies, the culture and rules of the university, and life skills concerning alcohol and other substances, relationships and intimacy, diversity, tolerance, values and character. CHAMPS/Life Skills Life skills programs are conducted throughout the year with and for student athletes on quality of life issues critical to personal growth, such as personal accountability, responsible use and nonuse of alcohol, diversity and gambling. Career Guidance and Development Planning a meaningful career and a fulfilling life is an ongoing process of expanding and narrowing choices, beginning when student-athletes arrive on campus and continuing throughout their college career and lifetime. The professional staff works with other career development professionals on campus to offer individual consultation, career development seminars, workshops, referrals to other campus offices and special events like the Senior Recognition Banquet for graduating student-athletes. Minority Enrichment Program This program offers a culturally supportive environment in which minority studentathletes have the opportunity to develop friendships and a support network in the university. A core focus group of students and staff coordinate programs such as guest speakers, holiday celebrations, community service activities with the local neighborhood centers, events with Cultural Centers and networking with minority faculty, staff, professional and business leaders.

44 Hawkeye Traditions THE HAWKEYE NICKNAME The University of Iowa borrowed its athletic nickname from the state of Iowa many years ago. The name Hawkeye was originally the name of the hero in the fictional novel, The Last of the Mohicans, written by James Fenimore Cooper. Cooper had the Delaware Indians bestow the name on a white scout who lived with them. In 1838, 12 years after the book was published, people in the territory of Iowa acquired the nickname, chiefly through the efforts of Judge David Rorer of Burlington and James Edwards of Fort Madison. Edwards, editor of the Fort Madison Patriot, moved his paper to Burlington in 1843 and renamed it the Burlington Hawkeye. The two men continued their campaign to popularize the name, and territorial officials eventually gave it their formal approval. HERKY THE HAWKEYE The Hawkeye nickname gained a tangible symbol in 1948 when a cartoon character, later to be named Herky the Hawkeye was hatched. The creator was Richard Spencer III, instructor of journalism at Iowa. The impish Hawk was an immediate hit and acquired a name through a statewide contest staged by the athletic department. John Franklin, a Belle Plaine alumnus, was the man who suggested Herky. Since his birth more than 45 years ago, Herky has symbolized Iowa athletics and epitomized University life. He even donned a military uniform during the Korean War and became the insignia of the 124th Fighter Squadron. During the mid-1950s, Herky came to life at a football game as the Iowa mascot. Since that time, Herky has been a familiar figure at Iowa athletics events. SCHOOL FIGHT SONG The Iowa Fight Song was written in 1950 by Mason City, Iowa, native Meredith Willson. Best known as the creator of Broadway s The Music Man, Willson was awarded a 1963 University of Iowa Alumni Association Distinguished Service Award for setting the spirit of Iowa to music. The lively cheer is sung hundreds of times during Iowa athletics events the year around. The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWA Let every loyal Iowan sing; The word is Fight, Fight Fight for IOWA Until the walls and rafters ring (Go Hawks!) Come on and cheer, cheer, cheer for IOWA Come on and cheer until you hear the final gun. The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWA Until the game is won NCAA Qualifiers, 35 All-Americans, 16 Big Ten Champions SCHOOL COLORS For 40 years Iowa was without school colors, but in 1887 a group of 50 seniors met on the steps of the Old Capitol to decide what are now the school official colors. They chose Old Gold, the color of Iowa s vast corn fields and Black, the color of the rich soil.
