Drew Lattier STAFF WRITER Simple logic holds that a second time through anything will most likely be better than the fi rst time through. For USC’s swimming and diving coach McGee Moody, this is his second run as head coach, and all signs point towards improvement. Moody was hired just prior to the start of last year’s swim season, leaving the coach with little time to prepare with the team for the grueling season that begins in the fall, stretches over the winter break and lasts nearly until April. This Friday the men’s and women’s swim and dive teams open up their season in a home meet against a nationally ranked UNC club, and the second-year coach feels giant strides have been made with a very promising team. “This year it’s a different world, communication is a lot better,” Moody said. “Having a year under our belt, it’s an entirely different attitude and environment. We’re going to really start to look to move forward.” Courtesy of USC Media Relations As opposed to last season when the coach just had one Nicholas Walkotten has been training all summer for his senior season and he expects it to pay off with championships. month to prepare his team, Moody has now spent over a year with his swimmers entering the 2008-09 season. “Mentally and physically I think we are in a much better SECs as well as NCAAs is to race against him some, as well as have him helping out on place than we were this time last year,” Moody said. “We’re the ultimate goal.” the relays.” starting to really put together the culture and environment Walkotten will be joined The women’s side of the pool is every bit as impressive as that we want here.” by fellow senior Kyle “He is one of the men’s, with veteran swimmers Amanda Dunnigan and The sophomore coach has a hard-working team rich with Cormier this year in the Sharntelle McLean leading the team.
