46 Tennessee Volunteers NCAA Individual Champions Since David Edgar won Tennessee’s first NCAA titles in 1970, a total of 14 athletes have captured 36 individual NCAA gold medals. Edgar won both the 50 and 100 freestyles in 1970 and repeated the feat in 1971 and 1972. Edgar passed the torch to John Trembley, who did Edgar one better by winning three NCAA titles in one meet. The future coach also won both relay races he entered at the 1973 NCAA Championships, an accomplishment not David Edgar John Trembley Lee Engstrand equaled before or since by a Vol. 50 Free (1970, 71, 72) 50 Free (1973, 74) 400 IM (1975) Trembley went on to win a pair of titles in 1974 as well. 100 Free (1970, 71, 72) 100 Free (1973) 200 IM (1976) Between Edgar and Trembley, Tennessee won five straight 100 Fly (1973, 74) 50 freestyle titles from 1970-74.

Jim Kennedy became the first Vol diver to strike NCAA gold that season, and future Olympic gold medal winner Matt Vogel finished first in the 100 butterfly as a portent of things to come. In 1977 the Vols returned in style to the top of the plat- form as Andy Coan led the Tennessee national champi- onship effort with victories in the 50 and 100 freestyles.

The return of John Trembley to UT as head coach marked a revival in the Tennessee program. Under the tute- lage of a former NCAA champion, the orange and white immediately returned to the NCAA medal stand. Melvin Stewart broke a long NCAA title drought for UT in 1989 with a 200 butterfly gold. He repeated his feat in 1991. Tripp Schwenk won the 1993 200 backstroke title and barely missed in the 100-yard event.

Teammate Jeremy Linn won the first of four breaststroke titles that season and the pair teamed up to give the Vols a powerful medley relay that won both the 200 and 400 med- ley relays. Linn won both the 100 and 200 breaststroke events in 1997 and won the 100 breaststroke for the third straight time in 1998. Michael Gilliam captured the 100 backstroke title in 1999 and won the event again in 2001. Phillip Jones captured the 3-meter crown in 2003 to keep a great tradition of Vol divers alive.

Legendary head coach Ray Bussard took his undefeated squad to Dallas, Texas, to meet undefeated Southern Methodist. Prior to leav- ing the visiting locker room to face a hostile crowd in excess of 2,000, Bussard gave his team a history lesson about Tennessee, Texans, the Alamo and Davy Crockett. He then opened a box of coonskin caps and distributed them to the team. Senior All-America Jim Baer took the lead by slapping a coonskin on his head a letting out a yell. Inspired, the Vols went out and handed SMU its first home loss since 1960. Now the coonskin cap is worn by UT teams that earn the right by The Smokey Boat Race performing in a manner worthy of being called a “team.” Rocky Top Felice and Boudleaux Bryant’s “Rocky Top”- written in 10 minutes at the Gatlinburg Inn in 1967- has captured the fancy of Vols fans everywhere and is a much-requested and much-played song at UT sporting events. First performed as part of a halftime country music show at the 1972 Tennessee-Alabama game, the song attracted so much attention and is so beloved that long-time band director W.J. Julian said that not playing it would cause a mutiny among Vol fans.

Marketing Often it’s the little things that go unnoticed. Fans who attend Tennessee Swimming and Diving meets do so to support the Vols and observe quality competition among the elite collegiate athletes.

The AJIAC, which is located adjacent to the existing Student Aquatic Center, is a first-class complex capable of hosting the Southeastern Conference and NCAA Championships, as well as nation- al and international events. The location of the new aquatic center gives the Tennessee swimmers and divers the luxury of training at one of the few universities in the country that has three full-size 50-meter pools within 200 feet of each other. Construction of the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center began Oct. 15, 2005. The $24.3 million complex bears the name of Cleveland, Tenn., businessman Allan Jones, who provided a $4 million challenge gift towards the construction of the new state-of-the-art facil- ity. Over 50 former swimmers, divers and their families also made sig- nificant contributions in excess of $450,000 to make the AJIAC a real- ity along with a total of 872 donors. Private support for the swimming and diving program is a great need in underwriting the program.

UT head coach John Trembley said. “On the basis of environment, total facilities and proximity to Atlanta, the University of Tennessee and the Student Aquatic Center received the bid to play host to the Olympic team as it prepared for 1996.” The facility added to its rich and storied championship history in 2006 when the SEC Swimming and Diving Championships visited for the last time before the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center will be completed. Tennessee put on one of its best displays in several sea- sons on the way to a league title. Previous to 2006, the facility last host- ed Southeastern Conference competition in 1996. In addition to possessing excellent overall facilities, the Aquatic Center has provided the Volunteers with a “home pool advantage” that can be matched by few venues in college athletics. Tennessee ham- mered out 41 consecutive victories at home from Jan. 16, 1988, until a heated dual-meet with Texas on Nov. 22, 1997. During that time, five consecutive classes left Knoxville with a spotless home record. “It’s particularly nice to have seniors leave Tennessee never hav- ing tasted defeat at home,” Trembley said. “That’s become a tradition and it’s been a source of pride for the program for many years.” The AJIAC, which is located adjacent to the existing Underscoring UT’s prolific home success is the fact that the loss to Student Aquatic Center, is a first-class complex capable of Texas was the first Trembley has experienced in 19 seasons at the hosting the Southeastern Conference Student Aquatic Center.

58 Tennessee Volunteers UT Facilities Under the direction of former Athletics Director Doug Dickey, and current Athletics Director Mike Hamilton, the University of Tennessee’s mammoth facilities construction and renovation program has given the University a total athletics environment second to none. From the current construction of the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center to the renovation, UT’s commitment to its successful athletics programs is clearly communicated through its mission to provide Vol stu- dent-athletes with the very best in athletics training facilities. The Neyland-Thompson Sports Center provides UT athletes with the finest strength and conditioning, dressing, health care, meeting and coaching facilities in the country.

Neyland Stadium training, rehabilitation and hydrotherapy areas, confusion and excess traf- fic are eliminated. The hydrotherapy room contains seven whirlpools, while the training and rehabilitation room has 17 examination stations along with stationary bikes, treadmills and exclusive Biodex and Cybex rehabilitation machines.

Thompson-Boling Arena The 12,000-square foot Percy Strength Facility, located in the Neyland-Thompson Sports Center, ranks as one of the best in the country in terms of size while housing more than 48,000 pounds of weights and state-of-the-art equipment by David, Nautilus and 18 other companies. The strength and conditioning facility has more than 140 training sta- tions that have been custom designed and built to the specifications set by Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Johnny Long and his staff. Some of the equipment was specifically designed just for use at UT.

Thornton Athletics Student Life Center Tennessee’s commitment to its student-athletes doesn’t stop outside the competitive arena, however. UT can boast of top-notch academic sup- port that can be rivaled by few programs in the land. Additionally, Thornton Academic Center, a $4 million facility with 25,000 square feet of space, is in operation. The impressive center houses a state-of-the-art computer facility, offices for directors and advisers, a career center, a writing laboratory, a special needs center and large and small tutoring rooms.

With a goal to provide each student-athlete with a well-rounded strength and conditioning program, computers tailor workouts to each specific position and sport. The state-of-the-art training room includes separate taping and examination areas, plus the latest equipment for treating athletics injuries and a state-licensed pharmacy. The Tim Kerin Training Facility, directed by Head Athletic Trainer Jason McVeigh, provides health care and wellness to each student-athlete. With an overall area of 14,000 square feet, the training room is equipped with the most modern health care and rehabilitation equipment. Considered one of the most functional facilities in the nation, it is capa- ble of handling 25-30 student-athletes at a time. With separate taping, Tim Kerin Training Facility
