54 ALABAMA SWIMMING AND DIVING RECORDS & HISTORY ALABAMA ON THE NATIONAL SCENCE Since 1976, when they fi nished fourth, the Alabama Crimson Tide has fi nished in the top 25 nationally an astounding 26 times, including 15 fi nishes in the top 15. Over the past decade Alabama has posted six top-30 fi nishes, including three in the top 20. Over that same span, 17 members of the Tide have produced 64 All-American honors, a group that includes Olympic bronze medalist and 13-time All-American Anne Poleska who turned in four top-three NCAA 200 breaststroke fi nishes. The Crimson Tide women competed in the AIAW division from 1974 to 1981, after which time they moved into the NCAA. While in the AIAW the Tide had six top-20 fi nishes, the highest was fourth at the 1976 championships. The Tide moved to the NCAA in 1982. Since that time Alabama has posted seven top-10 fi nishes, the highest being a fi fth-place fi nish at the 1983 championship. The Tide lays claim to eight individual national collegiate titles. Lane Bassham won the latest one in 2004, taking the top honors off the 3-meter diving board. She was also second off the 1-meter board that same year and was named Diver of the Meet at the NCAA Champion- ships while Pat Greenwell was named Diving Coach of the Year at the same championships.

72 ALABAMA SWIMMING AND DIVING RECORDS & HISTORY UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA SWIMMING & DIVING HALL OF FAME In 1975, legendary Crimson Tide head coach Don Gambril decided to create the Alabama Swimming Hall of Fame to honor those Tide swimmers, div- ers and related personnel who had made outstand- ing contributions to the Crimson Tide program through superb performances. Former head coach and Tide swimming legend Jonty Skinner was the fi rst member to be inducted into the Hall of Fame on the strength of his NCAA Championship and his world record, both in the 100 freestyle. In the fall of 2011, Aaron Fleshner was inducted into the hall after earning a place on the United States’ World Championship team. Also earning a place in the hall in 2011 was Betsy Saunders, Alabama’s fi rst female All-American. Like the 1960 men’s team, Saunders was inducted as a Crimson Tide pioneer. Since Skinner became the fi rst inductee in 1975, the Hall of Fame has grown to 39 individual members in addition to the 1960 team. An athlete must meet one of eight requirements to be eligible for induction: 1. AIAW or NCAA champion in an individual event. 2. Member of the U.S. Olympic Team. 3. Finalist at the Olympic Games. 4. Member of the U.S. World Championship Team. 2011 HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE AARON FLESHNER 5. Finalist at the World Championships. 6. Pan-American or Pan-Pacifi c Games individual medalist. 7. One male and one female athlete is chosen as Athlete of the Decade for outstanding contri- bution to the program. 8. An individual or group that is deemed a pioneer of the program.
