Head Coach Bill Nicholson

The 2011-12 season will mark Bill Nicholson's 10th as head coach of the VMI swimmingand diving programs.The Keydets now compete in the relatively new Coastal CollegiateSwimming Association (CCSA) after VMI won back-to-back men's conference titles in the

Northeast Conference (NEC). Last year, the Keydet men saw Dallas Disbro earn all-conference honors in both diving disciplines,while James Goodwillie broke the school's 200-yard backstroke record. For the VMI women, Mia Cunicelli was a part of nineschool/freshman record performances during her first year on Post, while this season, the Keydet women shattered 20 school/fresh-man program marks.

Last year's successes, however, are just part of the story of Nicholson's recent work. In 2005-06,VMI added women's swim-ming and diving as a varsity sport, and that season, Nicholson led the team to its first showing in the NEC Championship. In 2006-07,VMI finished ahead of Florida A&M at the NEC Championship, marking the first time the program had defeated an opponent at aconference championship, while last season, the team won its first-ever dual meet, a 52-51 decision at home against New JerseyTech.

In his time at the Institute, Nicholson has seen his Keydets claim 12 individual/team relay conference championships, includingseven at the 2006 NEC Championships. Also in 2006, Nicholson saw saw Brenden Geoghagen claim Most Outstanding Diver hon-ors, after the senior claimed both the one-meter and three-meter events.

His team's work in the pool, however, only tells half the story. For six consecutive semesters, his men's team received recogni-tion as part of the College Swimming Coaches Association of America National Honor Roll. Teams must post a cumulative 2.80GPA to qualify for the honor.

In addition to his team's academic excellence, Nicholson coached Tom Petykowski '05, who was VMI's valedictorian and an All-Conference diver in 2005 and was named First Team Academic All-American by ESPN The Magazine. Petykowski was one of 15 hon-orees nationwide that were chosen to the At-Large team that consisted of NCAA Division I playing members in gymnastics, golf,rifle, tennis, ice hockey, volleyball, fencing, lacrosse, swimming & diving, skiing and wrestling. He still stands as one of six Keydets toever earn National First Team honors, and is the first to do so in a sport other than football or basketball.

Nicholson (37) took over the VMI swimming and diving program on August 5, 2002. Previously, he spent the 2001-02 seasoncoaching the USS Condors Swim Club in Pleasantville, N.Y., where he coached both the boys and girls programs.

Nicholson spent the previous three years (1998-2001) as the men's and women's head swimming coach at Plattsburgh (N.Y.)State University. In his time at Plattsburgh, his teams broke 15 school records.The programs featured just 12 athletes whenNicholson took over, a number that grew to 35 by the time he departed. He improved the Cardinals men's team's performance atthe State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) from a ninth place finish (16 points) in his first season to a sixthplace finish (330 points) in his final season.

From 1995 to 1998, Nicholson served as the assistant coach for his alma mater, SUNY New Paltz. He worked with the breastand individual medley swimmers primarily during his stint. He helped three swimmers qualify for the Division III NCAAChampionships and the men's team's finished in the top four of the SUNYAC each year.

As a collegiate swimmer, Nicholson qualified for the Division III NCAA Championships three times and captured eight schoolrecords. He won the SUNYAC title in the 400 medley relay in his jun-ior year and was named the team's most valuable swimmer as a senior.In addition, Nicholson won the Coaches Award for Hardest Workerthree years and won the team's Scholar-Athlete Award each of the fourseasons he competed. Nicholson graduated from SUNY New Paltz in1995.

A native of Horseheads, N.Y., Nicholson swam four years atHorseheads High School and graduated in 1991. He and his wife,Emma, reside in Lexington with their daughter, Emily and son, Ben.

Assistant Coaches

Lt. Col Ray Porter, USMC (Ret.), the 2010-11 CCSA Men’s Diving Coach of the Year, broughta wealth of experience with him when he joined the Keydet staff prior to last season. In hisfirst year with the Keydets, Porter was influential in the development of divers Dallas Disbro

and Briana Allard. Disbro earned all-conference honors in both the 1 and 3-meter disciplines, while Allard broke the existing schoolrecord multiple times.This season, Disbro has broken two 19-year old school records, posted an NCAA Zone Qualifying effort inthe 3-meter, and is expected to challenge for VMI’s second individual CCSA title, while freshman Heather Magill has shattered therecords of the women’s program.

While attending his alma mater, New Mexico, and serving with the Marine Corps, Porter won numerous diving titles in boththe springboard and 10-meter platform disciplines.Those included the Western US AAU, the Skyline College Conference, theMexican/American Games, the Far East Invitational and the Pan American Games. He has coached several divers on an individualbasis, but VMI is his first experience coaching on the collegiate level.

Porter graduated from New Mexico in 1960, and during his military career, received a large number of awards.Those includedthe Legion of Merit, two Bronze Stars, the Meritorious Service Medal, two Navy Commendation Medals and a pair of NavyAchievement Medals. In addition, he participated in the last official battle of the Vietnam War, the 1975 recovery of the SS Mayaguez.During that engagement, Porter led the party that conducted the United States' first hostile ship-to-ship boarding since 1826.

Since his retirement from the Marine Corps, Porter has earned a Masters Degree in teaching emotionally disturbed and learn-ing disabled youth from George Mason University, and taught middle school special education students for 10 years. He has alsocoached several sports besides diving, including a middle school wrestling team that earned 10 straight regional titles, and finally,Porter also represented the Marine Corps as its senior tennis champion for three years.

Lt. Col. Porter and his wife, Dorothy, have three children and seven grandchildren.

Four NCAA conferences announced the formation of theCoastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA), a Division Imen’s and women’s swimming and diving Conference encompass-ing 13 members from four regional Conferences in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions, on July 10, 2007. The CCSA wasestablished through the cooperative efforts of the coaches,administrators and commissioners of the Atlantic SunConference, the Big South Conference, the Mid-Eastern AthleticConference and the Southern Conference.

“The Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association creates a regionalconference championship opportunity for all the swimming and diving programs in the four participating confer-ences,” said Atlantic Sun Commissioner Ted Gumbart, Executive Director of the CCSA upon its foundation. “Theprocess of building this new conference has been an extremely cooperative effort among all of the coaches andadministrators, and we look forward to our inaugural championship meet this coming year. The main focus in estab-lishing the CCSA has been the student-athletes, and we are excited that the swimmers and divers in each of ourleagues now have a conference home and honors for which to compete.”

The CCSA has 13 total members – 13 women’s swimming and diving teams and six men’s swimming and diving pro-grams. The charter members of the CCSA in women’s swimming are Campbell (A-Sun), College of Charleston(SoCon), Davidson (SoCon), Florida A&M (MEAC), Florida Gulf Coast (A-Sun), Gardner-Webb (Big South), GeorgiaSouthern (SoCon), Howard (MEAC), Liberty (Big South), North Carolina A&T (MEAC), North Florida (A-Sun),Radford (Big South) and VMI (Big South).
