HEAD COACH JOHN HARGIS

PENN STATE 2011-12 • Women’s Swimming

For just the fourth time in the 40 years of Penn State swimming and diving, it welcomed a new head coach. John Hargis took over the pro-gram as the first new coach in 10 years and led both the men’s and women’s squads to solid seasons in 2008-09 and enters his third sea-son in 2010-11.

His first year at the helm was a highly successful one, leading both programs to national rankings throughout the season. The women’s program was as high as 15th heading into the NCAA Championships where six Nittany Lions competed along with five on the men’s side. Vincent Reydams, Patrick Schirk, Jason Goldner, Basil Kaaki, and Brian Alden all received Honorable Mention All-American to lead the Lions to a 32nd place finish. The women placed 38th led by two Hon-orable Mention All-American finishes from Kelly Nelson and one from Kaitlin O’Brien.

In addition, the men’s and women’s squads combined to break an as-tonishing 14 school records in Hargis’ first season.

Hargis returned to Happy Valley where he was an assistant coach at Penn State from 2003-06 before moving onto Arkansas-Little Rock where he was named head women’s swimming coach in February of 2007. He was also the head coach and the chief executive officer of the Little Rock Arkansas Dolphins club swimming program.

“John has demonstrated that he has the ability to continue the success of our swimming program both athletically and academically,” said Di-rector of Athletics Tim Curley at the time of his hire. “He has been a swimmer at the highest level, having won an Olympic gold medal, and he also has a large array of experience as a coach, both at the collegiate and the club levels. We are extremely pleased to welcome John and his wife, Lauren, and son John back to Happy Valley and are prepared to help him keep our swimming programs moving forward”

“We are delighted to have John Hargis return to Penn State as our new head coach of men’s and women’s swimming,” said Susan Del-aney-Scheetz, Penn State Associate Director of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrator. “John’s knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for swimming and Penn State will enable him to take the program to new heights.”

With Hargis at the helm, he became just the second head swimming coach at Penn State since the men’s and women’s swimming pro-grams were merged into one following the 2000-01 season. He is Penn State’s fourth head women’s coach of all-time and just the sixth head coach in men’s program history.

“I am glad to be back in the blue and white of Penn State and it is excit-ing to be back in the tradition of excellence that Penn State provides, both athletically and academically,” said Hargis prior to last season. “Both my family and I are excited to once again be part of the Penn State culture and we look forward to continuing the tradition that has been set by those before us in the swimming program.”

Hargis left his assistant post at Penn State in September of 2006 to take over the Arkansas Dolphins premier swim club, which was also his former club team. In that role, he directed the program to the over-all team state long course title in 2007, winning both the men’s and women’s team title for only the second time in program history. He also led both the men’s and women’s teams to the overall team state short course title in 2008, securing the Dolphins their first back-to-back combined state titles in their 48 year history.

He joined Arkansas-Little Rock as an assistant coach in November of 2006 before being elevated to head coach in February of 2007. While heading the Trojan program, which competes in the Sun Belt Confer-ence, the women’s team was recognized by the Collegiate Swimming Coaches Association of America for having a team GPA of over 3.0 in both the fall and spring semesters.

While with the Nittany Lions, Hargis was on the staff that led the wom-en’s team to back-to-back Big Ten Championships in 2005 and 2006. He coached several NCAA, Olympic Trials and U.S. Nationals qualifiers and also directed all aspects of men’s recruiting. Hargis was instru-mental in helping recruit 2008 NCAA Champion Patrick Schirk to Penn State. He also assisted with several other aspects and day-to-day op-erations of the program, including the creation and implementation of a training regimen for both the men’s and women’s sprinters, breast-stroke and IM swimmers.

Prior to arriving at Penn State, Hargis was an assistant coach at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas for two years during the 2002-03 season where he also coached NCAA, Olympic and U.S. Nationals qualifiers and guided the Mountain West Conference Male Swimmer of the Year. He was the head age group coach for the Raleigh Swimming Association club team for two years prior to his stint at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. Before that, he served for three years as an assistant to the athletic director at his alma mater, Auburn University.

A native of Little Rock, Ark., Hargis is a 1999 graduate of Auburn with a degree in health promotion/sports management.

Hargis is one of the most touted swimmers to ever come out of the

Thad Schultz is in his second season as Penn State’s assistant coach for the 2010-11 season. Schultz brings a wealth of experience to the Nittany Lion program, including assistant coaching duties at fellow Big Ten rival Ohio State.

“I’m excited for the opportunity to work at a great university like Penn State,” said Schultz. “They have a rich tradition of athletics and great academics. It will be a fun experience.”

“Thad brings everything we look for in an assistant,” said Nittany Lion head coach John Hargis. “He’s obviously got the college experience. Lately, he’s been working with some of the best swimmers in the world. Just to see the levels he’s worked and all the success he’s had at those levels makes him an exciting addition to our staff.”

Most recently, Schultz served as assistant coach and senior division leader at SwimMac in Charlotte, N.C. While there, he performed a variety of tasks while working with the Age-Group swim program con-sisting of over 750 swimmers. He worked with three members of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team, four from the 2004 squad and eight from the U.S. National Team Qualifier.

Prior to starting at SwimMac in 2007, he served as Aquatics Direc-tor and head coach at Brunswick YMCA in Brunswick, Ga. He was in charge of all aspects of a swim program that featured over 50 swimmers.

Schultz’s extensive swimming experience includes collegiate coach-ing experience at Ohio State from 2000-02. He served as an assistant coach for the Buckeyes, specifically with the men’s program. While there, the program had four NCAA Qualifiers, three school records and eight Academic All-Americans. He also helped recruit 15 High School All-Americans.

His collegiate coaching experiences goes back to 1998 when he was an assistant coach at Clemson University. Working with the men’s and women’s swim programs, he helped lead the Tigers to eight NCAA Qualifiers, two ACC records, 10 school records and eight Academic All-Americans while bringing in 22 High School All-Americans.

Aaron

WORKMAN2nd YearAssistant Coach

Kentucky ‘01

Aaron Workman joins the Nittany Lion staff for his first season in 2010-11. Workman comes from an established background including his most recent position as assistant swim coach and recruiting coordina-tor at the University of Pittsburgh.

“As a head coach, you always keep [someone like Aaron] on your radar,” said Hargis. “I’ve had my eye on Aaron for the last three years he’s been at Pitt. He’s recruited back-to-back top-25 classes. His sprinters have continued to compete well and continued to improve.”

During his time at Pittsburgh, Workman was in charge of assisting in all aspects of team preparation, including practices and weight train-ing. As the recruiting coordinator, he was able to sign two top-25 and honorable mention classes.

For the past three years, Workman has also been involved with Team Pittsburgh Aquatics. While there, Workman organized all aspects of one of the largest meets in Allegheny Mountain Swimming and devel-oped practice agendas for the competitors.

Before working at Pittsburgh, Workman held the same duties as assis-tant swim coach and recruiting coordinator at UNLV from 2005-2007. He helped coach his team to three straight Mountain West Conference championships while also recruiting the 18th best men’s recruiting class in the country. Not only did his teams have a great athletic track record, but they also excelled out of the pool, consistently ranking in the top 20 academically in the nation.

Workman’s college work began early as he served as the assistant swim coach at Wittenberg University from 2003-2004 and the head swim coach at Hollins University from 2002-2003. At Wittenberg, Work-man coached two NCAA All-Americans and a top 20 Division III team. Not only has Workman succeeded as a coach, he was also a very successful swimmer at the University of Kentucky where he graduated in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science in Broadcasting. Workman was a four-time All-American, four-time academic All-SEC performer and an academic All-American in 2001.

“[Aaaron has] helped take that program to the top of the Big East,” said Hargis. “As a young guy, he’s someone who has always intrigued me. We feel very lucky to have him.”
