On Sept. 22, 1935, Athletics Director
O.C. Bird announced Ohio University
was organizing the first varsity swim-
ming and diving team in school history.
Bernard E. (Jerry) Hughes, the team’s
first coach, called for all interested male
students to report to the small pool in the
old Women’s Gymnasium on Oct. 8 of
that year.
Eighteen candidates showed up that
first day and 32 eventually joined the
tryouts. Hughes introduced water polo to
build stamina for his team and created a
freshmen squad of 20 swimmers against
which his varsity unit could train. By
Dec. 10, there were 24 varsity squad
members and 35 on the freshmen team.
After a schedule was quickly put to-
gether, Bird presented the varsity team
with old basketball warm-up suits to wear
at competitions. Ohio lost its initial meet
on Jan. 10, 1936, at Ohio Wesleyan by
the score of 40-26. The first win came in
dramatic fashion on Feb. 15. By winning
the final event that day, the Bobcats
defeated Akron 44-40 but lost to host
Western Reserve 62-13.
Ohio hosted its first meet later that
month, defeating Ohio Wesleyan 39-27.
A 15-cent admission price was charged
to help pay for new swim suits. Four
swimmers – Ed Wright, George Echko,
Joe Shafer and John Weber – became
the first letterwinners for the Bobcat
swimming and diving program following
that 1935-36 season.
The program took a huge step forward
in 1950 with the completion of a new
$430,000 Ohio University Natatorium.
In 1951, Head Coach Oscar L. “Tommy”
Thompson led the Bobcats to a 7-3
record in his first season at the helm.
Led by freestyler Henry “Tad” Potter and
diver John Botuchis, Ohio won the first
two Mid-American Conference champi-
onships in 1953 and 1954. Potter won
six individual conference titles during his
career and became the first All-American
in the program’s history in 1956.
Head Coach Fletcher Gilders, a 1956
Olympian and two-time NCAA champion
diver while at Ohio State, guided Ohio to
five more MAC titles (1965, 66, 69, 70,
71) during his tenure. Coaching until
the early 1980s, he mentored Bobcat
All-Americans Tom Boyce (1961), Bo
Wallsten (1963), Neal Wade (1966,
1969), Dave Solomon (1969) and Ned
Steele (1969, 1970).
According to Women’s Intercollegiate
Athletic (WICA) records, the Ohio
women’s swimming and diving program
expanded substantially during the 1974-
75 season with a 9-6 record in dual
meets during its first full-scale season.
The Bobcat women joined MAC competi-
tion in 1981 and by 1985 had their first
MAC Swimmer of the Year (Lynda Flory).
Ohio claimed the MAC Diver of the Year
(Dayna Green) in 1987 as well as the
Swimmer of the Year (Gwynn Gordon).
It began a streak of six straight Bobcats
to claim the top swimmer honor. Overall,
an Ohio swimmer has won the MAC
Female Swimmer of the Year award 14
times since 1985 with Maureen Newlon
(1991-92) and Kim van Selm (2000-01)
winning the honor twice.
Under the direction of head coach Scott
Hammond, the Bobcat women won six
straight MAC titles from 1989-95 and
placed 11 members on the All-American
list during that span.
Under current head coach Greg Werner
(2000 and 2004 MAC Coach of the
Year), Ohio claimed the women’s MAC
championships in 2000 and 2001.
Recent individual honors for members
of the Bobcat swimming and diving pro-
gram include: Hollie Bonewit, All-Ameri-
can in 2000; Trisha Kessler, 2003 MAC
Senior Swimmer of the Year; Shannon
Kelly, MAC Swimmer of the Year in 2002
and MAC Senior Swimmer of the Year in
2004; and Robert Krichbaum, three-time
MAC Diver of the Year.
Both the men and women’s teams fin-
ished third at the 2006 MAC Champion-
ship. The men set 70 personal-best re-
cords and the women won seven events
and eight swimmers were crowned
individual champions. The women set 44
personal best records and named five
swimmers to the All-MAC first team.
Ohio nearly won its 10th MAC Champi-
onship in 2007, finishing in second place
at the conference championships. The
Bobcats placed five swimmers on the All-
MAC First Team and four swimmers on
the All-MAC Second Team in 2007. Ash-
ley Marion won conference titles in the
200 IM and 400 IM for a second straight
season and Emily Wylam captured
conference titles in the 100 back and 200
back for a second consecutive season.
