INDIANA BOUND
The travel budget should be lessened this year as both the NCAA Zone Diving Championships and the NCAA Championships will be hosted by Purdue in nearby West Lafayette, Ind. That should make the six Hoosiers (Heather Chapman/Indianapolis, Ashley Greene/Indianapolis, Meghan Keefer/Fort Wayne, Lauren Schrader/Lafayette, Jade Summerlin/Fishers and Lindsay Weigle/Bloomington) on the squad that hail from Indiana happy as well.
CIRCLING THE GLOBE
Head Coach Dorsey Tierney not only recruits nationally, but also globally as evidenced by the four Hoosiers hailing from international destinations. Kristen Bradley and Angela Calvert both call Ontario, Canada home, while Susanna Ernst's hometown is Vienna Austria. Annica Lofstedt (Orebo, Sweden) also comes from across the pond.
TORCH THE RECORD BOOKS
Last season's squad took a lighter to the IU record books by eclipsing 14 watershed marks, including all four relay standards, last season. The Hoosiers came up just shy of the eight other records that were left to a new crop of Cream and Crimson to rewrite.
SEVEN STRONG, WILL WE SEE EIGHT?
Dr. Jeff Huber, Indiana men's and women's diving coach, was selected as U.S. Diving's National Coach of the Year for the United State Olympic Committee's Coach Recognition Program for an incredible seventh consecutive time.
The accolade closed out an amazing year for Huber as the Indiana diving program continued its dominance on the national scene by claiming the program's 11th consecutive U.S. Combined (men and women) National Championship. The men's and women's programs joined to outdistance second-place Auburn by over 100 points.
ATHENS BOUND
Four Hoosiers represented the U.S. in the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece. Current diver Cassandra Cardinell, former divers Sara Hildebrand and Kimiko Soldati and Head Diving Coach Dr. Jeff Huber all ventured to the home of the Olympiad over the summer. Cardinell and Hildebrand took seventh in the synchro 10-meter, while Hildebrand took 10th in the 10-meter. Soldati claimed 21st place in the three-meter springboard.
NEXT UP
The Hoosiers play host to the Arizona State Sun Devils on Oct. 30 in the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center.
