Page 2 2003-04 Air Force Swimming and Diving No stranger to national acclaim, Converse has been named coach of the year a total of five times at either the NCAA Division II level, the Western Athletic Conference or the Pacific Collegiate Swimming & Diving Conference.

As impressive as his record is in the pool of competi- tion, Converse has also coached athletes that have accom- plished a great deal academically. A total of 27 athletes have earned all-conference honors a total of 41 times under coach Converse, leading all Academy teams in this category.

In 1999, 10 Falcon swimmers and divers earned aca- demic all-conference honors. Heading the list was Krista Steenbergen, who earned GTE Academic All-American hon- ors with her 3.50 GPA in physics. Cann was also a Division I Academic All-American in 1999.

Prior to the Academy, Converse guided the swimming program at New Mexico State. His three-year stint may have been short, but the Aggies benefited from Converse's knowledge. The women achieved their first winning season in a decade as they went 6-5 in 1988 while the men recorded Maggie, Casey, Sherry, Rosie their best finish ever (fourth) at the Pacific Coast Athletic coach.

Before his college coaching career began, Converse was The following year, he was the head coach for the the assistant coach of the Cincinnati Pepsi Marlin Swim Athletes in Action summer project which produced five Team. In 1984, he guided the Mid-American swim team in finalists at the U.S. Nationals in Mission Viejo, Calif. Topeka, Kansas, and from 1981-84, he served as Mid- America's head age group coach. He was also an NCAA Y.E.S. (Youth Education through Sports) guest clinician in 1993 and 1999. His coaching career began in 1980 in San Antonio, Texas, as he was the Metropolitan YMCA's head master's A native of Topeka, Kansas., Converse graduated from Mission Viejo High School in 1976 and went on to attend the University of Alabama. He earned a bachelor's degree in education from Washburn University (KS) in 1984.

Few college coaches, in any sport, can match Converse's own athletic career accomplishments. A distance freestyle specialist, Converse swam on the 1976 U.S. Olympic Team as an 18-year old, placing ninth in the 400 freestyle. At Alabama, Converse burst onto the national scene as he not only won the national title in the 1,650-free his freshman year but also set an American record and became the first man to break the 15-minute mark in the event (14:57.39). He also broke the NCAA record in the 1,000 free that same year.

Converse lives in Colorado Springs with his wife, Sherry, and their two daughters, Rosie (16) and Maggie (14).

One of the most celebrated swimmers in Air Force’s rich history, Foster earned All-American honors from 1992-94. In 1994 she became an individual national champion in the 400 IM.

While there she traveled to various places for training and real world operation, the most notable being her deployment to Saudi Arabia in support of Operation Southern Watch.
