A Brief History of the Men's Swimming Team at the University
of Northern Iowa

Preface
I recently happened upon some of my old Apple //e
computer disks, which held a number of papers from my time
at UNI. Included in those papers was The History of the UNI
Men's Swim Team, which I had written for my Introduction to
College Writing class. I had been looking for this paper
recently, because I thought it a shame that my research on
the subject (however superficial) should be for naught.
Unfortunately, my memory of the revelations contained within
the paper were greater than those it actually contains. The
paper is a start, however. At least some memories and events
have now been permanently recorded for future reference. It
is my hope that someone will continue to build on this
paper, especially the adding of the women's team history,
which I ended up not having time to focus on when I
originally wrote the paper.
I have not edited the paper in any way, so it remains
intact in all its freshman-written ugliness. Because of
this, records, awards, etc. that were correct at the time of
the original writing are now incorrect.
I hope you find the history useful and interesting. I
would like to eventually create a much more comprehensive
history in the future, so "stay tuned." If you have any
information that you think I may find useful, please contact
me. The present UNI Swim Coach should know my current
address and phone number.

The First Year
The formation of a men's intercollegiate swim team at
the State College of Iowa (as Northern Iowa was called then)
in 1966 was not a spontaneous act. Students at the various
schools in the North Central Conference, of which SCI was a
member, expressed interest in adding men's competitive teams
in the sports of swimming and gymnastics. The conference
agreed to institute them on a trial basis. James H. Witham
was the Physical Education Director and Director of
Athletics at SCI at the time. He approached the SCI
Administration and asked them to allocate funds to hire a
coach for each sport and for travel expenses to start these
two new programs. "He's the guy that's instrumental in those
two programs getting started at this institution." (Henry,
Personal interview).
Glen Henry was hired to coach the swim team and pleas
went out for swimmers in the school paper (see figure 1).
The team that assembled was rather young and inexperienced.
As Henry said at the time, "About one-fourth of our team has
had some competitive experience. We are very young and short-
handed in a pair of events, the butterfly and diving." (qtd.
in Sports Information Department, hereafter referred to as
SID). Of the approximately 20 swimmers, half were freshman,
who were ineligible to compete for the varsity team.
The first meet for SCI was the Morningside All-League
Clinic. All schools in the Midwest League that had swimming
and gymnastics programs unveiled them at the meet, for which
no team points were kept. For the first few years, the
gymnastics and swimming teams tried to schedule meets that
were at the same schools, or at least in the vicinity of
each other. This was to keep the transportation costs down,
as both programs weren't quite off the ground yet (Henry,
Personal interview).
The only diver on the SCI team that was eligible for
competition was Tom Griffen, whom they had to share with the
gymnastics team. Getting to meets was no problem for him, as
the teams traveled together, but practice time conflicts and
competitions at the same time held no solutions. Since
gymnastics was his first love, the swim team suffered.
SCI was different from the other teams in the
conference the first year because they had a season schedule
(SID). The first dual meet on that schedule was at home
versus Hamline University. Unfortunately, this meet was
postponed due to high winds and snow (SID). The weather
didn't stop the SCI squad from traveling the following day
to Mankato State, where they were crushed. Henry said of
this first dual meet, "Our times were poor (but) we gained a
lot of good experience." (qtd. in SID) Next was a triangular
meet with Illinois Wesleyan and Wheaton College. SCI came in
last place, six points behind Wesleyan.
A big meet for SCI's freshmen, The Grinnell Relays, in
which four teams were to compete, was canceled altogether.
This was due to a Midwest League rule prohibiting freshmen
from competing in more than two meets, a quota which
Grinnell had already met (SID).
It wasn't long after that SCI took the final blow in
diving. Tom Griffen was lost for the remainder of the
season, due to an injury received in gymnastics practice
(SID). Although SCI badly needed diving points, it's
doubtful that Tom would have been able to help the Panthers
in their next meet. The meet was at home, but it was against
nationally-ranked Wisconsin State of Platteville. Due to
SCI's lack of butterflyers, divers, and depth, Platteville
was guaranteed 16 points at the start of the meet. Needless
to say, the Panthers were drowned, 78-24.
After the massacre by WS-Platteville, the Panthers
finally got their chance against Hamline, a meet which had
been postponed twice. Again, the home pool advantage
couldn't save SCI, this time from the third-ranked National
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics team in the nation.
It was the closest meet of the season, however, with Hamline
pulling it out in the final relay to squeeze past the
Panthers and win by three points. After the meet, Henry said
that Hamline didn't swim their fastest lineup and he seemed
exasperated with his team. "We desperately need experience"
(qtd. in SID)
Not only did they need experience, but the lack of
butterflyers and divers was taking its toll as well. Co-
captain Jim Johnson tried to help out by attempting to dive,
but he was not a real diver, and the first season came to a
close with losses to Wayne State and Northern Illinois.
Coaches
A team is usually what a coach makes it. Three coaches
have made the history of UNI men's swimming what it is today
(see figure 2)
Glen "Bullet" Henry
With 15 years of coaching the men's team to his credit
and 25 years devoted to the aquatics program, Glen Henry is
the history of UNI Swimming & Diving. He was the very first,
and perhaps the most successful, swim coach at UNI, yet he
had no formal training in coaching. In a personal interview,
Coach Henry described his background:
Although he was raised around pools and was active in
both the Red Cross and the Amateur Athletic Union programs,
he never swam on a college team. The college he attended,
Chadron State, in northwest Nebraska, didn't have a swim
team, so he participated in football and basketball. It did
have a pool, though, and since the school and its staff were
small, his background in swimming and Red Cross
certification allowed him to teach swimming and diving
classes as an undergraduate! He also coached an intramural
swim team, which won their championship.
Henry decided that he liked coaching and teaching so
much that, upon graduation, he took a coaching/teaching
position (that didn't involve swimming) at a school in
Wyoming. Before long, he received word from Chadron State
that they wanted him to come back, get his Master's, be a
graduate assistant in football, and get paid to do all that.
With a little encouragement from his wife, he returned, and
when a coach was needed for Chadron State's newly-formed
swim program, he was chosen.
After earning his Master's degree in Physiology, Henry
went searching for a job that involved coaching both
football and swimming, which, according to him, "is a little
bit of different breed of cat." He ended up at SCI, where he
immediately began educating himself further on how to coach
a college swim team, by attending clinics and reading books.
He feels that he could have had better success with the
swim team his first five years at UNI, but swimming didn't
command his full attention. He was expected to devote much
of his energies to football, which he was an assistant
football coach for. It was in 1971, when he dropped his job
as assistant football coach, that the swim team became a
force to be reckoned with. That season, the team took first
place at conference over favored Mankato State and held the
title for the next six years.
With a UNI career men's record of 72-58 and nine
conference crowns, as well as two second-place finishes,
Henry's tenure as head coach was definitely a successful
one, especially when you consider that he started with
absolutely nothing. Along with sending numerous swimmers to
nationals, he has coached approximately 40 All-Americans.
Henry still plays an active role in UNI Swimming. When
he retired his coaching career in 1982, he assumed the
position of Director of Aquatics for the School of Health,
Physical Education, and Recreation. He also is active in
teaching aquatics classes.
Jeff Boss
Jeff came to UNI with quite a swimming background and no
real coaching experience. He swam with the Lakewood Aquatic
Club, learning technique from Olympic Swim Coach Jim
Montrella. He also participated in the Olympic Swim Trials
in 1972 and 1976. From 1974 to 1978 he was on Indiana
University's swim team, which won the Big Ten title all four
years and the NCAA Championship his first three years
(Larson).
Assisting Henry his final year as men's coach at UNI,
Boss was able to become acquainted with the team before he
took over as head coach. However, the team had just gone
through a difficult division change and it was facing a
rebuilding process. Boss did the best with what he had and
came up with a 4-5 record, and after a conference change, a
6-5 record, yet remained in last place at both conference
championship meets,
Jeff left his post for a more successful career in
business.
Jim Hall
As a high-school prep in McHenry, Illinois, Hall
competed in swimming and water polo. He attended college at
Eastern Illinois University, which was in the same
conference as UNI. There he competed in both the distance
and the sprint events in both butterfly and freestyle. He
was a six-time NCAA All-American each year from 1979-1981 in
six different events. He was also a member of the Illinois
All-State Collegiate Team in the same years. He still holds
EIU's 500 freestyle record and the 800 free relay record. He
received his Bachelor's degree in Physical Education and
took the job of assistant coach at EIU (1982-1983) while
working towards his Master's.
When Hall came to UNI, he was somewhat familiar with
the program and some of the swimmers, having competed and
coached in the same conference as UNI. His first year here,
he only posted a 2-6 dual record, but tow six-year-old
school records were broken, as well as 28 personal records.
The following season was ended with an even record, and the
next with a winning one. By 1986, he was entrusted with
coaching both the men's and women's teams.
Although the trek is slow, Jim is bringing both
programs up to a new level. He has been able to move the
men's team from being consistently last place when he took
over, to being second-to-last place the last four years.
That's quite an achievement in a competitive conference of
schools built on "full-ride" swimmers. Ironically, the team
that UNI has been beating at the conference meet is Jim's
alma mater, EIU. His efforts were recognized at the 1988
Midwest Championships, where he was named Midwest Coach of
the Year.
Standout Swimmers & Divers
It doesn't matter how good a coach is, he can't swim
the races for the team. The swimmers have to do that. Every
once in a while, there comes a swimmer who's devoted, hard-
working, and a real asset to the team. There are two awards
at UNI that recognize these swimmers. They are the James H.
Witham award (1969-1982, see figure 4), given in honor of
the man responsible for getting the program started at UNI,
and the Glen F. Henry "Bullet" Most Valuable Swimmer Award
(1986-present, see figure 5), given to honor the first coach
of UNI.
There have been approximately 40 All-Americans at UNI,
but when asked to name the swimmers and divers that were the
greatest assets to the team, Henry responded that "none of
'em stick out in my mind because they were All-Americans.
They stick out in my mind from the standpoint of the kind of
people they are" (personal interview)
Here are the "outstanding swimmers and divers" named by
former coach Henry and Coach Hall when interviewed, and a
few of their achievements:
Bill Fowler
Bill was a member of the team from 1971 to 1975. He
came to UNI as a state champion in the 200 and 400
freestyle. He qualified for Nationals all four years and was
a four-time All-American. He was "by far, without a doubt,
the most talented swimmer to ever get in our pool," remarked
Henry. "He could do everything -- Everything." He was a co-
winner of the J.H.W. award for the '74-'75 season (see
figure 4). Bill still holds spots on UNI's All-Time Top Five
in the 500, the 1000, and the 1650.
Kevin Meacham
Kevin swam for UNI from 1974 to 1978. If it weren't for
Henry, he probably wouldn't have even swam in college. He
was a diver in high school, but did swim one year. No one
else tried to recruit him, so he came to UNI, where he
became a four-year All-American. He was the recipient of the
J.H.W. award for the '77-'78 season (see figure 4). By
graduation, he had left three school records in his wake,
one of which still stands (see figure 3). He is now coaching
swimming at West Des Moines Valley High School. "My hat's
off to Kevin." says Henry.enryH
Dennis Davis
In the four years that Dennis was here, from 1976 to
1980, he "probably came further than anybody I've ever been
associated with" said Henry. By the end of his senior year,
Dennis was the proud owner of two individual school records,
one of which had belonged to Kevin. That record still
stands, as well as the 800 free relay record, to which he
contributed (see figure 3). Dennis received the J.H.W. award
for his performance in the '79-'80 season (see figure 4).
Matt Lawson
"Matt Lawson was probably the best swimmer I ever had -
- as far as just a true, true, athlete," commends Coach Jim
Hall. He was certainly right up there, with his best 200
free time falling between Davis and Meacham's times. "He
swam everything," was a triple record holder, and still has
control over both individual medley records and the 400
medley relay (see figure 3). He also holds three other spots
on the All-Time Top Five list. "This kid could go!"
exclaimed Jim. He was awarded the "Bullet" award for the '86-
'87 season (see figure 5).
Mark Sullivan
Sharing the "Bullet" award with Matt that year was Mark
Sullivan (see figure 5). Coach Hall included him on his list
of outstanding swimmers because of "where he started and
where he ended up." To set a 4:40 500 free record is
incredible (see figure 3), considering that he started at
around a 5:11 fresh out of high school. Mark is still the
second all-time fastest 1000 free swimmer, right behind
Kevin Meacham.
Marc Long
Marc is the exception in this company. Many people do
not know that he swam at UNI his freshman year (1985-1986)
before his illustrious swimming career at Iowa. Hall feels
that he belongs on this list "in a way, because of what he
accomplished after he left UNI." What he did before he left
UNI alone, however, qualifies him. He was the only freshman
conference champion at UNI ever. His time in the 100 fly at
the conference meet was only one-tenth of a second off of
the then-conference record and it smashed the UNI record
(see figure 3). After his freshman year, he transferred to
Iowa, where he broke their 100 fly record, became All-Big-
Ten and All-American several times, as well as becoming one
of the top butterflyers in the nation. "You could see that
he was coming around," Hall said of his time at UNI.
Dan Glascock
The most recent swimmer of the group (1986-1990), Dan
grew up literally in the shadow of the UNI campus and swam
for Northern University High School. He was state runner-up
two years in a row in the 100 breaststroke in high school.
While at UNI, he was a conference champion in the 200
breaststroke in the '88-'89 championship meet. He holds both
school breaststroke records as well as being on two record-
holding relays (see figure 3). Dan won the "Bullet" award
for his sophomore and junior years and it is likely that he
will win it again for the '89-'90 season (see figure 5).
Ronnie Dearborn (diver)
Ronnie came to UNI as a high school national champion
on the trampoline. With very little coaching , he applied
his talent to diving, made it to Nationals, and placed in
the top five his freshman year. Unfortunately, due to
financial difficulty, UNI lost him after that year.
Jamie Hancock (diver)
Henry described Jamie as "a kid that stayed with us for
four years and just worked his fool head off." He qualified
for nationals all four years as well. Although he wasn't as
good as Ronnie, he was a "well-above average diver." Jamie
was the only diver ever to receive the James H. Witham award
(1978-1979) (see figure 4).
Pools
State College High/Northern University High Pool
Men's/West Pool
When the swim program was started in 1966, the swimmers
were practicing in what was then called the Men's Gym Pool
(now the West Pool). Since "the program was a little bit on
a trial basis" (Henry, personal interview), the
administration wasn't quite ready to spend the money for a
new board at the Men's Pool, so the few divers that there
were practiced in State College (Northern University) High's
pool. For the same reason, the meets were held there too.
The Men's pool and SC High's pool were similar in size.
Neither pool was regulation size, both being four-lane, 20-
yard pools (Regulation: six lanes, 25 yards, with one-meter
and three-meter boards). When asked what he remembered most
about the first season, Henry was quick to answer, "The
[practice] facilities" (Personal interview). Here is an
account by Glen Henry of what the West Pool looked like the
first year:
The West pools had less that five candle-foot power of
light at night. It had a diving board that was a half-
meter off the water. It was made of oak, covered with
burlap. Okay? Light bulbs sticking out of the wall.
Black, dirty ceiling, brick walls. A dungeon, an
absolute dungeon. (Personal interview)
As time passed, an attempt was made to bring the pool up to
racing standards and create a friendlier atmosphere. The
ceiling and walls were painted, better lighting was
installed, the diving board was replaced, racing lines were
brought in, and a way was discovered to flood the pool to
make it faster (Henry, personal interview).
When the diving board in the Men's Gym Pool was
replaced, they were able to move their meets from NU High's
pool, which they did in 1970. By doing this, they were able
to escape the scheduling conflicts they were having with NU
High. They were also able to draw more crowds. "Students
never came to our meets at NU High. It was like we were 50
miles away" (Henry, personal interview). The meets stayed at
the Men's Pool for the next ten years, and it was always
packed whenever there was a home meet.
East Pool
In 1979, the Men's and Women's P.E. and Athletic
Departments were combined. With this came a request to
rename the two gymnasiums, so they weren't gender-exclusive.
The Regents voted on it and the request was granted ("Sexist
gyms"). This allowed intercollegiate teams to practice at
either gym, and the men's swim team moved their practices to
the East Pool.
With both teams using the pool, it was felt that an
upgrade of the facilities was needed. A renovation was
undertaken in 1979. The area under the bleachers, which was
being used as a storage area and a faculty coffee room was
converted to men's and women's swim team locker rooms and
competitive-style diving boards replaced the aluminum "buck-
boards" (Henry, p.i.). Amid much controversy, a bulkhead was
installed in January 1980 to make the pool regulation length
("East Pool"). Permanent starting blocks were also added and
electrical and lighting improvements were made as well.
Since the pool was only 36 feet wide, it was converted to a
five lane pool so that the specifications would be met for
lane width. The lines on the bottom of the pool weren't
changed, which explains why they are now off-center.
Important Changes
The University of Northern Iowa has undergone many
changes in the past 25 years and the swim team did not go
unaffected. That is evident from the previous section. There
have been few changes in the sport of swimming throughout
the same 25 years. Some events have been added, the scoring
system has changed, goggles have been improved and allowed
in competition, and electronic timing systems have been
introduced. These changes have all affected swimming as a
whole, but the following ones are particular to UNI:
School Name
Students of the sixties loved to protest things, and
the State College of Iowa's student body wasn't any
different. One of the issues on campus was whether or not
SCI should be given university status. This issue was voted
on and approved by the State Board of Regents during the
first year of swimming at UNI. SCI was renamed the
university of Northern Iowa, which became effective the
following school year.
Some may question the effects a name change would have
on the swim team, but it did have an effect mentally. The
swimmers were swimming for a university now, not just a
measly college. Parents, people in the community, coaches of
other teams, and most importantly, recruits now had a
different view of them. Most importantly, the name change
most definitely helped lure recruits. Although there's no
proof that the name change increased the number of recruits,
Henry said, "There's no way it could hurt me, so I've gotta
say it helped." (p.i)
Freshman Eligibility
When swimming started in 1966, freshmen (or "yearlings"
as they were called) had their own meets and swam against
other freshmen. Freshmen could not compete on the varsity
team, according to the NCAA regulations. This was
unfortunate for Coach Henry in his first year, as SCI could
have used the freshman diver's points and the added depth.
The rule was removed from the book about midway through the
second season ("Swimming") which may have contributed to
their only win that year.
The change had tremendous effects, but was not any real
advantage to UNI, since all schools in the NCAA underwent
the same change. It has definitely affected UNI in its later
years. Looking back, many of UNI's biggest contributors came
from the freshmen . One can only speculate what would have
happened had Marc Long not been able to compete as a
freshman.
Division
The change that produced the largest effect on the UNI
swim program was the switch from NCAA Division II to NCAA
Division I in July of 1980. As far as UNI athletics as a
whole, "Some programs were helped by it. Some programs were
hurt by it. You happen to be interviewing me about a program
that I feel has been hurt by it." (Henry)
Henry feels that the team was hurt in the way of
national exposure. When UNI was Division II, they had
swimmers going to the NCAA Championships and had All-
Americans almost every year. UNI can't do that in Division
I, because they're getting the same non-scholarship-type
swimmers they've always gotten, but are swimming in a more
competitive division. Susan Stodghill, UNI women's coach
from 1983-1986 apparently agreed. Before she left UNI, she
was interviewed by the Northern Iowan, which printed that
Stodghill said that the swimming teams are in Division
I because of the university's commitment to the major
sports...but with no funds for scholarships and other
essentials, should probably be competing on the
Division III level. (Grawe)
Henry also feels that not being able to shoot for the
national meet has a negative effect on the swimmers because
they know they won't be going anywhere after the conference
meet.
