The complex will clearly be one of the finest colle- giate swimming and diving facilities in the country. 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 provid- ed a $4 million challenge gift towards the construction of the new state-of-the-art facility. Over 50 former swimmers, divers and their families also made significant contributions in excess of $450,000 to make the AJIAC a reality along with a total of 872 donors. Private support for the swimming and diving program is a great need in underwriting the swim program. The STEP UP cam- paign for UT Athletic Facilities was a $48.61 million facility cam- paign that began in April 2001 and has continued to be a driving force in upgrading current facilities and powering the need for new facilities. The AJIAC, which will be located adjacent to the existing Student Aquatic Center, will be a first-class complex capable of hosting the Southeastern Conference and NCAA Championships, as well as national and international events. The location of the new aquatic center will give the Tennessee swimmers and divers the luxury of training at one of the few universities in the country Contributors to the AJIAC include these that has three full-size 50-meter pools within 200 feet of each other. former swimmers, parents and other "To have one complex that includes one outdoor 50-meter extended aquatic family members. pool, an indoor 50-meter pool and the new 50-meter competition Melissa Allen Timothy Jones pool will, in our opinion, gives Tennessee the leading aquatic Edward Anderson James Kennedy facility in America," said Tennessee men's head coach John Kim Armistead Don & Lynn Kleinfelter Trembley.

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. Lee Engstrand won the 400 individual medley title in 1975 and was one of three Vols to claim an NCAA title in 1976. 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. Evan Stewart won three-meter diving titles in 1994 Melvin Stewart Tripp Schwenk Evan Stewart and 1995, cementing UT’s status as a national diving power. 200 Butterfly (1989, 91) 200 Backstroke (1993) 3-Meter Diving (1994, 95) Ricky Busquets joined the long line of great UT sprinters when he won the NCAA 100 freestyle title in 1996. 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. Jones, who fin- Ricky Busquets Jeremy Linn Michael Gilliam ished third in 2002, scored a lifetime-best 649.70 points to 100 Freestyle (1996) 100 Breast (1996, 97, 98) 100 Backstroke 200 Breast (1997) (1999, 01) outdistance himself from Kentucky's Clayton Moss, who scored 646.75 points.

Tennessee Traditions The Timettes

The Timettes is an an organization composed of 30 Tennessee students who dedicate their time and effort to the Tennessee swimming and diving pro- gram. The Timettes assist the swim program in various areas including meet management, hospitality, timing and overall support for the swimmers. The Timettes work at every home meet assisting as timers, but their duties do not stop there. They also make signs to hang up in the Student Aquatic Center to show their support as well as hang signs over the lanes to help the spectators identify swimmers. Not only are the Timettes a part of the swimming program, they play an important role in the recruiting process. When a recruit is on his visit he will be assigned to a Timette. Her responsiblities include introducing the recruit to the program, showing them the aquatic center and giving them a detailed tour of campus. 2007-08 Timette Captains From Left to Right: Carrie Greene, Amanda Vineski and Sallye Hartman

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 Marketing Department also wants the fans to have a little fun. The marketing staff arrives long before the first fan. Staff members are constantly hustling around the pool deck, ensuring music is played during warm-ups and replenishing the schedule posters and event itineraries in the Student Aquatic Center lobby. The staff coordinates with the PA announcer, video board controller, head coaches and meet officials to make sure all con- stituents are aware of the marketing activities and promotional contests. Each meet is scripted by the Marketing Department. It all begins with a meet for- mat and coordinating PA script that includes team introductions, upcoming events and sponsor “thank-yous.” The marketing staff’s goals are to put fans in the stands and entertain them while creating a winning edge, or home pool advantage, for the Aqua Vols. In addition to placing newspaper ads and posting fliers, the marketing staff creates fun. Promotions that take place during a typical Tennessee meet The Smokey Boat Race include the lucky duck pool, remote controlled boat races and t-shirt distri- bution. Seven children are chosen to fish a lucky duck out of the pool with a fishing net. Each duck has a number that is assigned to a specific prize. Prizes include Tennessee swimming and diving t-shirts, goggles, basketball tickets, movie passes and coupons redeemable at Knoxville-area restaurants. A sec- ond popular promotion has been the boat races. Two contestants are handed the controls to racing boats. The first contestant to successfully navigate their boat down and back wins dinner for two. The races are always a fan and ath- lete favorite. T-shirts are thrown into the stands every time a Tennessee Vol wins an event. Another giveaway in high demand is the Sea Ray beach towel that is available at a select meet each season. For the fourth straight season, Smokey, the beloved UT mascot, joins in on the fun by participating in a revamped boat race. Smokey will take the helm of one raft boat and one contestant will man the other in what has become another fan favorite. The first dog, or Vol fan, to reach the finish line wins!

The AJIAC, which will be located adjacent to the existing Student Aquatic Center, will be 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 will give 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 swim program.

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.” Construction continues on the AJIAC which is adjacent to Underscoring UT’s prolific home success is the fact that the loss to the UT Student Aquatic Center and Ray Bussard Pool Texas was the first Trembley has experienced in 19 seasons at the Student Aquatic Center.

Campus 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 Neyland Stadium 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. Completed in 1989 at a cost of $11 mil- lion, the expansive 120,000-square foot, two-level structure features prac- tice, weight and training areas.

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. Another unique feature of UT’s training room is a pharmacy within the facility. It is the only state-licensed facility in the country located in a training room.

The Renovated 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.

Percy Strength Facility

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
