The squad picked up meet wins versus Marshall and Arkansas-Little Rock for the season. The 2010-11 squad continued to improve throughout the season, culminating with seven school records being set at the 2011 SEC Championships (five individual, two relay). The team also scored a dual meet win at Marshall. This came following a 2009-10 season that saw progress, as well. While the team finished 10th at the SEC Champi- onships, the swimmers posted 92% season best times with almost half being lifetime bests. In 2006, Organ directed the first swim team at Vanderbilt since the 1992 season when the university was forced to drop the team. The Commodores finished the season with an 0-3 dual meet record and finished 10th at the team’s first Southeastern Conference meet since 1992. Before coming to Vanderbilt, Organ served as the senior assistant coach of the Nashville Aquatic Club, one of swim- ming’s most competitive club teams. While coaching the NAC, Organ mentored six national championship qualifiers in addition to assisting 20 swimmers earn Division I scholarships.

Organ also earned North Central Conference Swimmer of the Year honors in 1995. Following graduation, Organ stayed with North Dakota to become Head Assistant Coach from 1996-2000. He helped establish the swimming strength and conditioning program, supervising student-athlete’s academic progress and implementing community service programs. While working as a coach at UND, Organ also served as the head coach for the Forks Area Swim Team. During that time, he garnered North Dakota Age Group Coach of the Year honors in 1998 and 1999. Organ also has extensive experience in overseeing the growth of several swim pro- grams, including the Great Pensacola Aquatic Club, where he nearly doubled the senior swim program in just two years. Also, while Organ was with the Nashville Aquatic Club, the program grew from 250 participants in 2002, to over 300 swimmers in 2005. A native of Cranbrook British Columbia Canada, Organ is married to the former Margaret Davidson. They have two daughters, Ella and Kathryn Rose, and are the proud owners of two dogs, Nash and Napa.

Fact Book 13 CENTENNIAL SPORTSPLEX

Located just off campus near Centennial Park, the Centennial Sportsplex serves as the home and practice facility for the Vanderbilt swimming and diving team. Opened in 1990, it is Middle Tennessee’s premier fitness, recreation and sports complex.

The 145,000-square-foot facility contains two pools, including a 50 meters by 25 meters competition pool and a div- ing well with a depth of 14 feet and three spring boards: two one-meter boards and a three-meter. The Tracy Caulkins Competition Pool is considered one of the fastest in the Southeast, and has a state-of-the-art Colorado timing score- board that provides swimmer, coaches and fans easy-to-read results.

Centennial Sportsplex also features facilities for ice skating, fitness and tennis. It is also the practice facility for the NHL’s Nashville Predators.

Zeppos has led a number of important initia- tives at Vanderbilt, including the planning process for The Ingram Commons, a landmark transformation of the first- year experience; the Strategic Academic Planning Group; innovative efforts in undergraduate admissions and finan- cial aid; and the development of new programs in Jewish studies, law and economics and genetics, among others. In a bold move to strength Vanderbilt’s com- mitment to admitting undergraduates on the basis of accomplish- ment and achievement, rather than their ability to pay, Zeppos significantly expanded the financial aid program in 2009. By replacing undergraduate, need- based loans with grant and scholarship assistance, the university opened its doors wider to highly talented and qualified students of all economic, cultural and geographi- cal backgrounds. The expanded aid program is funded by a combination of strategic budget allocations, the uni- versity’s Shape the Future fundraising campaign, which under Zeppos’ leadership raised over $1.9 billion, and the current Opportunity Vanderbilt campaign. Zeppos was recognized with five teaching awards at the law school before serving as an associate dean, associate provost, and provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs. He also served as interim chancel- lor for eight months prior to being formally appointed as Vanderbilt’s eighth chancellor on March 1, 2008.
