Head Coach Pat Mead coaching staff
Head Coach – i0th Season Delaware, ‘92 Pat Mead Over the last nine years, Coach Pat Mead has turned the Towson University Swimming and Diving program into one of the top mid-major programs in the nation . From academics to performance to the growth of the program, Mead’s mark on the program has been clearly evident during his tenure . Selected as the 2005 Colonial Athletic Association Women’s Coach of the Year, Mead has guided the Tiger women’s program to nine straight winning seasons and a 74-33 record . Meanwhile, the Tiger men have compiled a 62-41 mark under Mead’s tutelage . Not only have the Tigers been successful in the pool during Mead’s tenure, but they have also made successful progress out of the water . Both the men’s and women’s teams traditionally have excelled in the classroom during Mead’s first nine years . He has had two former swimmers named as recipients of Towson University’s Doc Minnegan Scholarship Award while 53 Tiger swim- mers and divers have been recognized as members of the CAA Commis- sioner’s List during the last three years . In addition to the strong academic success, the Tiger women’s program has grown into a fully-funded program during Mead’s tenure, giving the tenth-year coach extra resources to help the program remain a strong contender in the CAA . During the Tigers’ first six seasons in the Colonial Athletic Association, Mead has led the men’s team to three fifth place finishes and one fourth place showing . At the same time, the women’s team enjoyed its most suc- cessful finish at the 2005 CAA Championship Meet with a second place finish after earning a fourth place standing the previous year . Last year, the Tiger women’s team finished with a 9-3 dual meet record and earned a third place showing at the CAA Championship Meet . Mean- while, the Tiger men’s team posted a 6-5 record during the regular season and earned a sixth-place finish at the CAA Meet . In addition, sophomore diver Bradley Bolin was named as the CAA Rookie Diver of the Year after finishing fifth in the one-meter diving event at the conference championships . With a youthful squad two years ago, the Tiger women’s team won 7 of 12 dual meets during the regular season and finished in seventh place at the CAA meet . Meanwhile, the men’s team overcame adversity and finished in ninth place in the CAA meet, but displayed great improvement during the season . The women’s team, which went 8-2 in the regular season, turned in an impressive performance at the CAA Championships during the 2004-2005 campaign with a second place finish . Led by Jen Irby, the Tigers broke seven meet records and took home 10 CAA titles . Irby, who was named as the Most Outstanding Swimmer of the CAA Championship Meet and the conference’s Swimmer of the Year, captured the 50-free, the 100-free and the 100-fly all in record-setting fashion . She was also swam the anchor leg on the 200-free and 400-free relays which not only captured CAA titles but set new meet records in the process .
