On this week\u2019s edition of \u2018Pac-12 Sports Report\u2019, hosts Mike Yam and Ashley Adamson announced the Women\u2019s Swimming and Diving All-Century team–a group of 26 swimmers, six divers and one coach.<\/p>\n

This team of Olympians and national champions was selected by a panel of 25 coaches, swimmers, administrators and media members. The top four vote-getters in each of the six disciplines; two additional \u201cwild card\u201d swimmers qualified via a second vote of the remaining fifth, sixth and seventh place finishers. To determine the All-Century divers, the top two divers in each of the three disciplines were selected.<\/p>\n

To ensure that the team truly encapsulated the past century of Pac-12 women\u2019s swimming and diving, 10 Pre-Title IX nominees were included on the ballot. These standout swimmers and divers attended Pac-12 universities but did not compete collegiately due to the lack of opportunities for women in intercollegiate athletics at the time.<\/p>\n

All 26 All-Century swimmers competed in at least one Olympiad, and collectively, they have won 101 Olympic medals. Jenny Thompson and Natalie Coughlin are the most decorated with 12 Olympic medals each, which ties Dara Torres for most Olympic medals won by an American female. In addition, this group represents 110 NCAA individual titles (95 swimming, 15 diving).<\/p>\n

During his twenty years at Stanford, coach Richard Quick<\/strong> led the Cardinal to seven NCAA titles and developed 35 NCAA champions. One of greatest coaches in the history of the sport, Quick won five NCAA Coach of the Year honors and three Pac-10 Coach of the Year awards, earning him the title of Pac-12 Coach of the Century. In addition to his accomplishments at the collegiate level, he led the United States Olympic team during six Olympic games.<\/p>\n

California\u2019s Natalie Coughlin<\/strong>, one of the most decorated Olympians, is the Pac-12 swimmer of the Century.\u00a0 The owner of 11 individual NCAA titles, Coughlin was the NCAA Swimmer of the Year for all three of her years at Cal. She was inducted into the Cal Athletic Hall of Fame in 2014.<\/p>\n

The Pac-12 diver of the century is Michele Mitchell<\/strong>, a four-time All-American from the University of Arizona. In addition to being the most decorated diver in Arizona history, Mitchell served as the diving coach at the University and is now the director of operations for the swimming and diving programs.<\/p>\n
