Former University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee swimmer Josh Baseheart may have graduated from UWM in 2004, but he has continued to spend his time in the pool ever since. And, if he has his way, will be a member of the USA Swim Team at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

Baseheart had a very successful career in the pool for the Panthers, swimming from 2000- 2004. He still holds school records in the 50 freestyle (20.23), 100 freestyle (44.65), 200 free- style (1:38.51) and as a member of the 800 free relay and 400 medley relay teams. He was named the Horizon League Performer of the Year in 2003 and claimed three individual league titles in his career. Also, he recorded the fi rst-ever NCAA “B” cut in the NCAA Division I history of the Milwaukee program in the 100 free in 2002. Lastly, in the classroom, he was a three-time Academic All-American.

Ever since graduating from UWM, Baseheart has worked as a systems specialist with Northwestern Mutual Insur- ance. Along the way, he has been pursuing his dream of making it to the Olympics and qualifi ed for the Olympic Trials in the 50 and 100 freestyle this past March at the USA Swimming Spring Championships in Long Island, NY.

The Olympic Trials, which are next June and July in Omaha, Neb., were a long-time goal for Baseheart, who just missed the time standard in two other attempts, including by just .03 in 2003. He had a great summer in 2006, narrowly missing the 2008 Olympic Trials standard in the 50 free, 100 free and 100 butterfl y. This past summer he added a great performance at the US Nationals in Indianapolis, Ind., making the cut twice in less than an hour in

C CATCHING UP WITH: JOSH BASEHEART the 50 free in tying for 25th place. A In addition to the USA Swimming Championships, he has competed in a World Cup, US Open, eight USA Nationals and two World Championships Trials. T C He continues to train at nearby Schroeder YMCA with David Anderson, his coach since he was 12 years old. He puts in around 15 hours a week, spending H as many as six days a week in the pool. Along with everything else he has accomplished, he swam on seven state record relays throughout the year with I

N his Schroeder teammates. G

U The UWM Sports Information Department was able to catch up with Josh recently and had him answer the following questions:

P 1. What is your favorite memory from your time at UWM?

W “I have so many fond memories of my time at UWM. I would probably have to say my favorite swimming memory was freshman year at conference, the 400 Free Relay, which was the last event. The men hadn’t won a single event at the meet, and before that race, Dave Clark came up to the four of us and said I

T ‘Guys, this one is about pride’. I led off and dropped a half a second from earlier that night, breaking the school record in the process. When I got out, the

H whole team went nuts and we ended up winning the race. That is something I will never forget.” :

2. Favorite swimming memory since graduating? J

O “My favorite swimming memory since graduating would have to be getting my fi rst Olympic Trial cut. It was in the fi nals of the 100 Free at this past Spring Nationals. I saw the clock and immediately jumped out of the pool to go call my girlfriend, Emily, and my family and friends. At fi rst, I thought that maybe S I was confused and that I hadn’t actually gotten it!” H

3. What keeps your drive for swimming going like it has? B “It has alternated between a drive to achieve a goal that I know I can reach and just trying to have fun. I look back at what I’ve achieved and realize that I’ve A had a whole lot of fun in the process. That helps to keep me going when I really need a push.” S

E 4. What is your ultimate goal?

H “My goal now is to fi nal at Olympic Trials. I have always really wanted to make a National Team and be able to travel outside the U.S. and compete. If I could fi nal at Trials, that might be a possibility.” E

A 5. Any famous athletes you have met while pursuing your dreams?

R “I’ve actually never met , though I’ve seen him around on deck quite a bit. I did meet last December and got to hang

T out with him a little bit, which was pretty fun. A few of the other big names I’ve had a chance to meet: , Cullen Jones, Nick Brunelli, Megan Quann(Jendrick), Rachel Komisarz, , Robert Margalis... Those are all names to watch for next summer at the Olympics!”

Note: Special thanks to Josh Baseheart and David Anderson for the submitted photographs.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s newest on-campus building is the Pavilion, which is the home to UWM Athletics.

The Pavilion offi cially opened its doors to the public in January of 2006 and the building was offi cially dedicated by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and UWM Chancellor Carlos Santiago on May 2.

Among the new athletics facilities in the building specifi cally are of- fi ces for coaches and staff, a student-athlete-only weight room, new locker rooms for all teams and team rooms and lounges for men’s bas- ketball, women’s basketball and women’s volleyball.

The recreation center has two expansive levels and houses four sport courts surrounded by a suspended 1/8 mile track. The facility is uti- lized by individuals seeking open gym space, run and walk space on the track, and the University’s intramural programs.

The building also includes academic facilities for the College of Health Sciences along with accommodations for the new Physical Therapy and expanded Sports Medicine programs.

The $40 million project, which broke ground in June of 2003, came in below budget due to a favorable bidding climate. Half of the funding
