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 program as the first new coach in 10 years and led both the men’s and women’s squads to solid sea-sons in 2008-09 and enters his fourth season in 2011-12 . This past summer, Hargis served as an assistant on the U .S . Swimming squad for the 2011 University Games in China . Hargis accompanied Nittany Lion women’s backstroke-specialist Amy Modglin to the competition . Modglin was the second PSU student-athlete to compete under Hargis’s tenure as former NCAA Champion Patrick Schirk earned silver during his trip to the University Games in 2009 . 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 com-peted 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 Honorable 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 astonishing 14 school records in Hargis’ first season . Since then, Hargis has been able to recruit top notch classes to help Penn State return it to a Big Ten Championship-caliber program . In 2011, Hargis’s men’s team swam to sixth place at Big Ten, which included an All-Big Ten Sec-ond Team performance by Mitch Scherer . Hargis also helped coach the 200 medley team to All-America honors when it touched the wall in ninth place . 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 Director 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 ar-ray 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 mov-ing forward” “We are delighted to have John Hargis return to Penn State as our head coach of men’s and women’s swimming,” said Susan Delaney-Scheetz, Penn State As-sociate Director of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrator at the time of Hargis’s hiring . “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 programs 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 exciting to be back in the tradition of ex-cellence that Penn State pro-vides, both athletically and academically,” said Hargis prior to his first season as head coach . “Both my fam-ily 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 Sep-tember of 2006 to take over the Arkansas Dolphins pre-mier swim club, which was also his former club team . In that role, he directed the program to the overall team

Aaron Workman joins the Nittany Lion staff for his second season in 2010-11 . Workman comes from an established background including his most recent position as assistant swim coach and recruiting coordinator 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 contin-ued 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 training . As the recruiting coordinator, he was able to sign two top-25 and honorable men-tion 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 developed 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 cham-pionships 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 academi-cally 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, Workman 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 .”
