Ejdinboro University President Dr.
Frank G. Pog^e armoimced the appoint­
ment of former Fighting Scot AllAmerican Qiris Rhodes as head swim­
ming coach in October of 2002.
"I'd like to thank the search commit­
tee for its efforts," commented Dr. Pogue
at the time of the announcement. "I
think they did a fine job in the recom­
mendation of Chris ^odes as the
University's new swimming coach. We
consider swimming an integral part of
the Athletic Department and the mis­
sion of the University. As a member of
the Fdinboro Family, we're pleased to
welcome him back to campus."
Rhodes competed for Fdinboro from
1991-95, earning All-American honors in
1993-94 and 1994-95 as a member of
freestyle relay teams. He also earned
AU-PSAC honors and set a school
record as a member of the 200 freestyle
relay team. That relay team finished
second at the NCAA Division II
National Championships and set a con­
ference record that stood for six years.
A key part of legendary teams while
a swimmer at Fdinboro, Codes' goal is
simple yet ambitious - to return the
Fighting Scots to a prominent spot in
ON THE COVER:
Brooke Heath, AllAmerican.

the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference.
Rhodes has spent his first three years
building the foimdation, and he began to
see some of the fruits of his efforts a year
ago. A numba-of young swimmers
qualified for the PSAC Championships,
and freshman Brooke Heath earned AllAmerican honors in the 100 and 200-yard
breaststroke events at Nationals.
All told, the women's team has set 35
new top ten times since Rhodes' arrival,
while the men have set six top tens.
Academics has also been a major part
of Rhodes' agenda. His women's teams
have earned All-Academic honors every
semester but one, and the men's team
has earned similar honors.
Rhodes began his coaching career as
an assistant swimming coach at
Titusville High School in 1996-97, then
moved on to Ashland University, one of
the top programs on the Division II
level, as an assistant swimming coach
while completing work on his master's
degree in Reading, which he received in
August 1999. He returned to western
Pennsylvania as the assistant swimming
coach at CHI Qty Area High School for
the 1999-2000 season. He has also
served as the head coach of the Stroke
Development Camp at Westminster
College. In addition, he has been a
Reading Specialist in the CHI Qty Area
School District.
Rhodes was graduated from
Fdinboro in December 1995 with a
bachelor's degree in Elementary
Education. He and his wife Stephanie
reside in Fdinboro. He is a member of
the College Swim Coaches Association
of America and the American
Swimming Coaches Association.
