Diving Coach Richard Hackett An integral part of the Panthers swimming and diving success has come from head diving coach Richard Hackett. Coach Hackett enters his 17th season and continues to produce divers that place high at national meet competition. Richard has played an important role in establishing Drury’s rich tradition in diving. Hackett has earned numerous coaching honors, including being named the Men’s Division II National Diving Coach of the Year award for three years straight from 1999-2001. He has coached multiple college All-Americans as well as seven individual national champions (two on the NAIA level and five at NCAA-II). His continued work with Drury divers has been one of the strengths of the Panthers throughout his time at Drury. Hackett, who also works in the area of strength and conditioning with several of the Drury athletic programs, is a native of New Orleans, La., and was an All-American diver at Riverdale High School. He and wife Jana have three children: Alec, Mitchell and Emma.

Assistant Coach Jason Owen Owen is a native of Cape Girardeau, Missouri and was a top national competitor throughout his four-year career at Drury from 1999-2003. Jason was a 15 time All-American and a one time national champion in the 1650 free as a freshman. After completing his career for the Panthers, Jason served as a graduate assistant at Drury from 2003-05 and earned his masters in Business. He has been the head age group coach for SpringfieldAquatics for the past five years. Jason is married to former Drury standout swimmer Kathleen Hayes.

Graduate Assistant Ethan Weiss Drury All-American backstroker Ethan Weiss will join the Panther swimming and diving staff this season after graduating in 2008 with a degree in Exercise and Sports Science.

As the first institution of higher education in southwestern Missouri, Drury holds a unique place in the Springfield community. Beginning with its founding in 1873 by a group of Congregationalists, Drury has welcomed a diverse student body, offering unusual opportunity for its time to women and American Indians. Anyone up to the challenge, the founders seemed to say, should be able to partake of intellectual nourishment. As the 20th century progressed, so did Drury. In addition to extending its reach and reputation as a liberal arts college, Drury became the first in the region to offer courses tailored for working professionals. In the 1990s, Drury recognized the need for students to be able to spot economic and cultural trends on a global scale; a new curriculum, Global Perspectives 21, accomplishes that goal. With the School of Education and Child Development, Breech School of Business Administration and Hammons School of Architecture, Drury moved into a class known as the “New American College,” where profession-oriented education is layered over a strong liberal arts foundation. Drury is divided into two main divisions: Drury College, which serves 1,600 traditional full-time undergraduates, and the College of Graduate and Continuing Studies (CGCS), which offers classes to more than 3,000 adult professional, non-traditional and part- time students in 25 majors and five master’s programs. CGCS offers classes in Springfield, online and at seven satellite campuses in central and southwestern Missouri. Among the majors and programs offered in Drury College,

science, pre-medical and pre-health-science programs are among the most popular. Partnerships with the University of Missouri-Columbia, St. Louis University and the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine help exceptional students gain early admission to medical, osteopathic and law schools. Engineering and occupational therapy students can earn two degrees through a five-year program with Drury and Washington University in St. Louis. Drury’s exceptional resources are dedicated to a single purpose: educating bright students who will become the next generation of lead- ers. From its oldest alumnus to the newest graduates, this service to community is a vital part of Drury University.
