The long-awaited new home to UCLA’s aquatics program has become a reality. The Spieker Aquatics Center opened in September 2009, in time for the start of last year’s men’s water polo season. PCL Construction broke ground on the facility in July 2008.

In 2010, the Bruins plan to host 10 home contests in addition to hosting the SoCal Tournament the weekend of Oct. 2-3 at both Spieker Aquatics Center and Sunset Canyon Recreation Center.

UCLA enjoyed playing six home games at Spieker Aquatics Center in 2009, as evening matches under the lights produced capacity crowds. The athletics department officially opened its newest facility on Sept. 26, 2009, as the men’s water polo team defeated UC Irvine, 10-4, after a dedication ceremony that evening

The Bruins’ women’s water polo program hosted the MPSF Tournament in May 2009, taking advantage of the home setting to win the three-day event.

Entering its second full season as UCLA’s home pool, Spieker Aquatics Center features a 52-meter by 25-yard all-deep water pool with a dividing bulkhead, allowing races to take place at varying distances (meters, versus yards). The pool also has four platforms on a diving tower, at

SpiEkEr AquATiCS CENTEr

heights of three, five seven and one half, and 10-meter platforms, as well as one and three-meter springboards. In addition, the aquatics center features a warming pool for divers directly behind the tower.

Adjacent to Sunset Canyon Recreation Center on the northwest portion of campus, the Spieker Aquatics Center was made possible thanks to a generous lead gift from former student-athlete Tod Spieker and his wife, Catherine. Tod, a 1971 UCLA graduate and All-American, swam for the Bruins from 1968-71 and still competes successfully in Master’s Swimming.

The main pool, Dirks Pool, is named after Carolyn Dirks, who provided the lead gift for the swimming pool. Dirks Pool has also been used for special use events and Masters Swim meets. The signature feature of the Spieker Aquatics Center is the diving tower, which sits at the west end of the pool. The east end of the pool houses the new scoreboard, an LED, state-of-the-art piece of electronics, making scores, statistics and messages easily visible to all in attendance.

Next to the scoreboard is the “Wall of Champions”, showcasing all of UCLA’s water polo, swimming and diving national championship teams, as well as all

individual student-athletes’ achievements, record-holders and Olympians.

Separate men’s and women’s locker rooms house enough lockers for all team members, with shower space and bathroom stalls and sinks for each team. Equipment needed for meets and matches have storage capacity on the facility’s south side.

When walking through the public entryway to the center, visitors first notice the Donor Wall. All donors who generously made gifts to the Spieker Aquatics Center are recognized on this wall. Additionally, over 50 former UCLA water polo players, swimmers and divers made gifts to “name” a locker. Those names will forever be part of the locker rooms in the new facility.

The state-of-the-art facility brings together all three of UCLA’s intercollegiate aquatic sports – water polo, swimming and diving – to one venue. The aquatics center features event lighting and permanent seating with the possibility of additional temporary seating for larger events.

uCLA Seeks to Build from Strong 2009 SeasonBacked by veteran roster and postseason experience, national title aspirations abound at spieker Aquatics CenterThe UCLA men’s water polo program marched one step closer to its ultimate goal in 2009, winning the MPSF Tournament before advancing to the NCAA Championship match under first-year head coach Adam Wright.

But bitter memories of a 7-6 loss to crosstown rival USC in the NCAA Championship remain fresh in the Bruins’ minds, and UCLA has the experience and leadership to get back to the top in 2010.

UCLA returns nearly 80 percent of their scoring offense from last fall. Senior Ben hohl, a second-team All-America and All-MPSF selection one year ago, finished second on the team with 40 goals in 2009 and will be expected to help shoulder the offensive load in 2010. A left-handed attacker from Atherton, Calif., Hohl will quarterback the Bruins’ counter-attack, leading the team in 6-on-5 situations.

Sophomores griffin White (33 goals) and Josh samuels (32 goals) look to build off their fabulous first-year campaigns, while junior Cullen hennessy (23 goals) will be counted on as one of the team’s top veterans.

The Bruins also welcome back five juniors and seniors who have each played over 50 career games, including seniors Clay Jorth, Kevin Kuga and Jacob Murphy and juniors Brett hays and Matt Preciado. Murphy, Hays and Preciado have all competed for playing time at the center position the last two seasons, while Jorth and Kuga have served as reliable attackers in each of their three seasons.

Murphy and Hohl played for the USA National Team in February 2010 at the Volvo Cup in Europe, gaining valuable playing experience alongside former teammate Scott Davidson, UCLA’s leading scorer in 2009 (47 goals).

Samuels and White played for the USA Junior National Team at the Pan American Championships in August 2010 along with Bruin sophomore Bret Lathrope and redshirt freshmen Chris Wendt. Those four youngsters will be counted upon to provide an offensive punch for the Bruins in 2010. While Samuels and White headlined a top-ranked recruiting class one year ago, Lathrope had a solid freshman season as well, scoring 11 goals and totaling nine steals in 30 games.

Other key contributors for UCLA include senior defender emilio Vieira and sophomore Clinton Jorth. Vieira arrived in Westwood in the summer of 2009 after having excelled

for two seasons at Golden West College. The product of Sao Paulo, Brazil, stepped right in for UCLA last fall, providing sound defense and scoring 20 goals. Jorth returned from an injury sustained early in his freshman season (2008), scoring seven goals while chipping in with 13 steals, 12 assists and 11 blocks in 2009 as a redshirt freshman.

Among the most glaring question marks for UCLA as it enters the 2010 season falls at the goalkeeping position. Junior Andrew Mesesan and sophomore Matt rapacz enter the year with little playing experience, as four-year starter Chay Lapin graduated in the spring and will work hard for a roster spot with the USA National Team.

Rapacz played in 12 games one year ago, making four starts, logging 56 saves in just under 23 quarters of action. He notched a 2.58 goals against average as the primary backup

SEASON OuTLOOk

to Lapin. Mesesan made three appearances as a sophomore last season and saw action in four contests as a freshman in 2008. He enters 2010 having logged 14 saves in just under 10 quarters.

In addition to a well-rounded group of veterans, UCLA will look for contributions from its freshmen – both redshirt freshmen and first-year players. The Bruins’ roster features eight returning redshirts (one junior, seven freshmen) and 13 incoming freshmen.

UCLA’s schedule features 14 regular-season matches and appearances in one pair of in-season tournaments – annual two-day affairs with the NorCal Tournament (at California) and the SoCal Tournament (at UCLA for the first time). The Bruins will play 14 contests at home – of which four will be played during the SoCal Tournament.

After kicking off the season with a home match against Concordia (Sept. 11), UCLA heads north to Berkeley, Calif., for the two-day NorCal Tournament. One week later, the Bruins host a non-conference affair against Loyola Marymount (Sept. 25). UCLA will welcome 16 teams to campus the weekend of Oct. 2-3 for the SoCal Tournament, which will be played at Spieker Aquatics Center and the adjacent pool at Sunset Canyon Recreation Center.

The Bruins dive into their MPSF slate in the Bay Area with matches at California (Oct. 9) and Pacific (Oct. 10). The next weekend, UCLA opens a six-game home stretch with perennial conference power Stanford under the lights on a Friday night (Oct. 15) before facing Chapman (Oct. 17) two days later. Ensuing home matches include UC Irvine in MPSF action (Oct. 23), an afternoon doubleheader featuring UC San Diego and Pomona Pitzer (Oct. 30) and a conference contest the next day versus Long Beach State (Oct. 31).

UCLA closes its regular-season schedule with four matches in November, opening with an MPSF game at USC (Nov. 6). The Bruins’ final two home games include Air Force (Nov. 8) and conference challenger Pepperdine (Nov. 13), before the season closes with an MPSF contest at UC Santa Barbara (Nov. 14).

Following a two-week layoff from any games, UCLA’s season heats up at the MPSF Tournament, hosted by Stanford from Nov. 26-28. The Bruins look to win the conference tournament in back-to-back season for the first time since accomplishing that feat in 1999 and 2000 (USC last won in consecutive seasons, 2007 and 2008). California will host the 2010 NCAA Tournament the weekend of December 4-5.

Adam Wright begins his second season as UCLA’s head men’s water polo coach in 2010. A former standout in the pool at UCLA and on the U.S. Olympic Team, Wright helped lead the Bruins to the championship match of the 2009 NCAA Tournament in his first season as the program’s head coach.

After being named the fourth head coach in program history on June 3, 2009, Wright helped lead the Bruins to the MPSF Tournament title, UCLA’s first conference tournament championship since 2000. After opening conference play with consecutive losses midway through October, Wright knew that the Bruins would have to win the MPSF Tournament to advance to the NCAA Tournament. The first-year head coach adjusted the team’s practice and conditioning regimen, preparing the Bruins for the three-day tournament setting.

After closing its MPSF schedule with a 5-3 mark, at fourth place in the standings, UCLA surged in the conference tournament. The Bruins opened with an 8-5 win over No. 5-seed Pepperdine, before upsetting No. 1-seed and tournament host USC, 10-6. UCLA cruised into an MPSF Tournament title showdown against No. 3-seed California, fresh off an upset of No. 2-seed Stanford. The Bruins won a back-and-forth affair against the Golden Bears, pulling away in the fourth quarter to win, 10-7.

In his first year at the helm, Wright saw three of his players earn ACWPC All-America acclaim, while two players earned honorable mention accolades. Scott Davidson, a first-team All-America selection, became the first Bruin to earn MPSF Player of the Year honors since 2000 (Sean Kern). Ben Hohl and Chay Lapin were each honored as second-team All-America and All-MPSF selections. Davidson finished his career ranking fifth on UCLA’s career goals list (152), and Lapin became the Bruins’ all-time saves leader, making 719 stops in four seasons as a goalkeeper.

Prior to his tenure as head coach, Wright was a four-year letterwinner at UCLA from 1997-2000, helping lead the Bruins to back-to-back NCAA titles in 1999 and 2000. Following his collegiate career, he served as a key member on the U.S. National Team, participating in the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games. He helped lead Team USA to a seventh-place finish in 2004 (Athens) and to the silver medal in 2008 (Beijing).

Wright served as an assistant coach with the UCLA men’s and women’s water polo teams during the 2008-09 school year. He helped guide the women’s program to an unprecedented fifth consecutive NCAA championship in May 2009. Following the 2008 men’s water polo season, Wright played an integral role in securing the top men’s recruiting class in the nation.

In addition, Wright served as an assistant coach with the varsity boys and girls water polo programs at Wilson High School (Long Beach, Calif.) from 2001-04. He helped coach the boys program to four consecutive CIF Division I championships and Moore League titles. Wright coached the girls team to two Moore League titles and two CIF Division I quarterfinal playoff appearances.

As a senior at UCLA in 2000, Wright scored 39 goals before earning honorable mention All-America acclaim and second-team All-MPSF honors. In 1999, he secured third-team All-America and second-team All-MPSF honors. That season, Wright led UCLA in assists (27) and was second in total points (48) and steals (39).

In his first two seasons, he scored 43 goals – 26 as a freshman and 27 as a sophomore. He gained second-team All-America honors in 1998 and was an honorable mention All-America and All-MPSF selection as a freshman in 1997.

Wright graduated from UCLA in 2001 with degrees in history and sociology.

Following his collegiate career, Wright competed in the European League (Italy and Russia) for Bissolati Cremona, Civitavecchia SNC, Nuoto Catania and Dynamo Moscow from 2004-08. He competed for the U.S. National Team in all major tournaments from 2001-09, helping lead Team USA to the gold medal at the 2003 and 2007 Pan American Games as well as the 2005 ASUA Cup (Mexico City).

Wright, 32, is married to Kerry Norris, a former UCLA women’s soccer player. Adam and Kerry reside in Los Angeles with their daughter, Rome (born July 2010).

Adam Krikorian enters his 15th season on the UCLA men’s water polo coaching staff in 2010. Krikorian served as the program’s head coach from 1999-2008 and in an assistant capacity from 1996-1998 before assuming Associate Head Coaching duties in July 2009. Krikorian concurrently serves as head coach of the U.S. Women’s Water Polo National Team.

Krikorian has won 15 national titles – 11 as a head coach (men’s and women’s), three as an assistant coach and one as a student-athlete – in 18 years with the UCLA water polo programs. Krikorian helped lead the men’s program to NCAA titles as head coach in 1999, 2000 and 2004 and as an assistant coach in 1996. As a senior, he led the Bruins to the 1995 NCAA title, UCLA’s first men’s water polo championship since 1972.

On the women’s side, Krikorian coached UCLA to eight national championships (7 NCAA) as head coach from 1999-2009. He helped engineer UCLA’s remarkable run of five consecutive NCAA women’s water polo titles from 2005-2009. Serving as an assistant coach with the women’s program in 1997 and 1998, he led UCLA to national titles each season.

As the men’s water polo head coach from 1999-2008, Krikorian guided UCLA to three NCAA Championships and recorded a 192-62 overall record (.756 winning percentage). His men’s water polo teams went 61-19 in MPSF play in 10 seasons, and two of his men’s teams posted a perfect 8-0 MPSF record (1999, 2004).

Between both water polo programs, Krikorian has coached six Peter J. Cutino Award recipients, seven National Player of the Year selections and 12 Olympians. On the men’s side, Sean Kern won the Cutino Award in 1999 and 2000 and was named the National Player of the Year in 2000. Brett Ormsby earned National Player of the Year honors as a senior in 2004.

Krikorian led the UCLA men’s and women’s teams to national championships in the same season on three occasions – during the 2004-2005, 2000-2001 and 1999-2000 school years. The 2004 men’s water polo team finished with the best winning percentage of any UCLA water polo team since 1972. The women’s team completed the second undefeated season in NCAA water polo history that spring by running off 33 consecutive victories.

In 2004, Krikorian guided the men’s program to their first perfect MPSF finish since 1999 and first NCAA championship since securing back-to-back titles in 1999 and 2000. The 2004 team also compiled an 18-game winning streak, which included winning the NorCal Tournament title and gaining multiple victories over the nation’s other three top-ranked teams – Stanford, California and USC.

In 2000, Krikorian led the men’s program to its fourth NCAA title in six years. He also coached the UCLA women to the inaugural NCAA championship in the spring of 2001, coaching in the absence of Guy Baker (who then served as the USA Women’s Water Polo Head Coach). The 2001 women’s squad finished the season with an 18-4 overall mark, including a 9-1 MPSF record, and won its second consecutive national championship.

Krikorian was promoted to Co-Head Coach of the men’s program at the start of the 1999 season, after serving as an assistant coach for three seasons. In the spring of 1999, he served as the interim head coach for the women’s team, while Baker was coaching Team USA.

During the 1996-1997 school year, Krikorian served as a student assistant coach as he completed his undergraduate studies, assisting Baker in leading both squads to national championships.

As a senior captain in 1995, Krikorian helped lead UCLA to its first men’s water polo national championship since 1972. He scored two goals in the Bruins’ 10-8 win over California in the NCAA title match. During his senior season, he registered a team-best 31 goals, including one two-pointer, while earning second-team All-America and second-team All-MPSF honors.

A four-year letterwinner, Krikorian captained the team in 1994 and 1995, leading the Bruins to the NCAA Tournament both seasons. He finished his collegiate career with 76 goals, including a pair of two-pointers, and was named “Most Inspiration Player” by his teammates in his final three seasons.

A standout prep athlete at Mountain View High School, Krikorian was a four-year letterwinner in water polo and swimming. As a senior, he scored 113 goals and earned honorable mention All-America accolades. In 1992, he helped lead his team to the National Junior Olympic Championship. Krikorian’s older brother, Blake, was on the UCLA water polo team from 1986-1989.

Krikorian, 36, graduated from UCLA with a psychology degree and a business administration emphasis in June 1997.

In May of 2001, Krikorian married Anicia Mendez, a four-year Bruin letterwinner in tennis who is completing her MBA at UCLA. Adam and Anicia reside in Manhattan Beach, Calif., with their son Jack (4) and daughter Annabel (born June 2009).

Under the direction of first-year head coach Adam Wright, the UCLA men’s water polo team won the MPSF Tournament for the first time since 2000 and secured its first NCAA Tournament berth since winning the NCAA championship in 2004. The Bruins went 23-7, collecting victories in 11 of 12 games before losing the NCAA title contest.

Led on offense by senior Scott Davidson and backed by senior goalkeeper Chay Lapin on defense, the Bruins won their first eight games before falling to Stanford in the first-place game of the NorCal Tournament. UCLA struggled through October, dropping their first two MPSF contests and posting a three-game losing streak to conference challengers USC, Stanford and California.

Knowing that an at-large berth to the four-team NCAA Tournament was no longer a possibility, Wright began focusing the team’s training regimen on the upcoming three-day MPSF Tournament with four weeks to go in the season. Wright and the Bruins understood that an MPSF Tournament title would be UCLA’s only ticket to the national tournament.

UCLA got its regular season back on track with consecutive wins against Loyola Marymount, UC Irvine, Pacific, Chapman and Pepperdine in the final weeks of October before defeating Long

Beach State the first day of November. After a 7-6 loss to USC at home, UCLA marched on with wins over UC Santa Barbara and Pepperdine in MPSF action to enter the conference tournament as the No. 4-seeded team.

UCLA won the MPSF Tournament in dominating fashion at crosstown rival USC. The Bruins defeated No. 5-seed Pepperdine on Friday afternoon, 8-5, paving the way for a fierce showdown against the Trojans in USC’s home pool. After falling behind, 2-0, to USC in the first quarter, the Bruins used a 5-1 scoring run to build a 5-3 lead and never looked back. After four quarters, UCLA had earned an impressive 10-6 victory and sealed a berth in the conference tournament’s title game.

The Bruins entered the MPSF Tournament’s title match against California having lost the only meeting between the two schools earlier in the season (at UCLA). But tweaks and improvements along the way allowed UCLA to ensure a different outcome in the conference championship contest. In a game that featured three lead changes, UCLA opened a four-goal lead by the fourth quarter and held on for a thrilling 10-7 win over the Golden Bears.

The drama continued the following weekend, as UCLA and Loyola Marymount staged an epic overtime contest in the NCAA

2009 BOX SCOrES

Tournament semifinals. Tied 4-4 at halftime and leading, 7-5, through three quarters, UCLA could not hold the Lions at bay in the final period. LMU outscored the Bruins by a 3-1 margin in the fourth quarter, sending the game to two three-minute overtime sessions. Senior Cole Consani’s goal with 32 seconds left in the game helped UCLA push through to the NCAA championship contest against USC.

The Bruins opened the NCAA title match by falling behind, 3-0, after the first quarter. Unfazed, UCLA battled back on goals from juniors Emilio Vieira and Ben Hohl and freshman Griffin White to trail by just one goal. After USC padded its margin to 6-3, UCLA answered with consecutive goals, slicing the Trojans’ cushion to 6-5. Trailing 7-6 with 16 seconds to play, the Bruins were unable to fire a last-second shot and had to settle for second place.

At season’s end, Davidson earned MPSF Player of the Year honors in addition to securing first-team All-America acclaim. Hohl and Lapin were named second-team All-America honorees, while Consani, White and Cullen Hennessy were named honorable mention All-America selections.

The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) was established during the 1992-1993 season to serve the competitive needs of member institutions from the Big West, Pacific-10 and Western Athletic Conferences, as well as other selected universities in the western United States; and to provide championships competition for Division I intercollegiate Olympic sports in a conference setting. The founding principles on which the MPSF was originally formed were to provide enhanced competition and championship opportunities for sports without conference affiliation; to contain the costs of competition; and to ensure the survival of sports impacted by Title IX and other fiscal pressures. The Federation has also served as an incubator for emerging women’s sports and as a safe harbor for sports impacted by conference realignments. Since its inaugural season the Federation has seen its primary conference membership grow by the addition of the Mountain West and West Coast Conferences and their respective member institutions, as well as the addition of women’s water polo, women’s gymnastics, women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s swimming. As a testament to its viability, the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation continues to successfully navigate the ever-changing sea of college sports by fostering contraction and expansion of its sports portfolio to meet the dynamic needs of its members. As the MPSF begins its 19th year in 2010-2011 and continues its legacy of championship competition, it affirms the vision of its founders and the relevance of its three founding principles, particularly during today’s tumultuous economic times.

In 2010-2011, the MPSF will sponsor competition in 11 intercollegiate Olympic sports, adding men’s and women’s swimming for the first time, while serving approximately 1,800 student-athletes on 86 teams from 38 universities in 12 western states. All MPSF teams compete at the NCAA Division I level in men’s soccer, men’s and women’s water polo, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s gymnastics, men’s and women’s swimming, women’s lacrosse and men’s volleyball. MPSF champions are eligible to compete in NCAA

Championships with MPSF men’s soccer, men’s and women’s water polo, and men’s volleyball champions earning automatic qualification into NCAA championship events. Joining the Federation for the first-time in women’s swimming is Northern Colorado and University of San Diego, while former MPSF members Loyola Marymount and Cal Poly have also elected compete for the Federation’s women’s swimming championship. UC Irvine will rejoin the MPSF in women’s indoor track and field after a half-decade absence.

During the 2009-2010 season, the MPSF teams won four NCAA championship team titles, bringing the Federation’s total to 61 since the first season of competition in 1992-93. In 2009-10 USC led the charge by winning both the NCAA men’s and women’s water polo titles while Stanford took the NCAA men’s volleyball crown with Oregon’s women’s indoor track and field team winning its first-ever NCAA Championship team title. UCLA won three MPSF titles including men’s and women’s water polo, as well as men’s indoor track and field. In addition to its men’s volleyball title, Stanford won its sixth consecutive women’s lacrosse championship. Oregon also took the women’s indoor track and field crown while Oklahoma won its 10th MPSF men’s gymnastics championship in 12 years. Sacramento State grabbed it’s first-ever MPSF men’s soccer title while UC Davis nabbed its second women’s gymnastics title in three seasons.

Al Beaird has been the Federation’s only executive director, taking the reins after being selected by the MPSF Administrative Committee in December 1997 after a national search. Beaird’s position was established as a result of the Federation’s continued growth and emerging tradition of NCAA and national championship caliber play, including 43 NCAA team championships during his tenure. Beaird, who formerly served on the athletics staff at his alma mater, UC Davis, where the integration of student and athlete is a long-rooted philosophy, oversees the administration of all Federation

sports, having worked closely with administrators and coaches from more than 45 different universities over the course of his administration. Beaird presided over the transition of the Federation from what was initially a scheduling alliance to what is now nationally recognized as the most successful NCAA Division I Olympic sports conference. Beaird directs all aspects of MPSF competition, including championships, officiating, rules compliance, scheduling, media relations, broadcasting, sponsorships and NCAA relations, while also shaping conference legislation, facilitating annual meetings and providing direction and communication for the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Administrative and Executive Committees. In 2004, Beaird completed a four-year term, three years as chair, on the NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championships Committee and one year as chair of the inaugural NCAA Men’s and Women’s Water Polo Rules Committee. Beaird feels privileged to work with coaches and student-athletes who compete at the highest levels, including those who compete on USA national teams as coaches or players in international and Olympic competition. With his in NCAA Olympic sports, Beaird has been called upon to serve as liaison to the national governing bodies for amateur athletics in the United States and the United States Olympic Committee. Beaird received his undergraduate degree in physical education from UC Davis before attaining his Masters of Business Administration from California State University, Sacramento. Beaird, who lives in Woodland, California, has two daughters who have been active in high school and club sports.

Dr. James Puffer played an integral role in the success of the men’s water polo program and UCLA Athletics as a whole. Puffer was a three-year water polo letterwinner (1969-71) and member of two national championship teams (‘69 and ‘71). He also attended UCLA Medical School and earned his doctorate in 1976. Puffer attained a family practice residency at UCLA Medical Center upon his graduation. He was named Chief of the Division of Family Medicine in 1983 and helped to make the discipline a department in 1997 of which he chaired until 1998.

Dr. Puffer was also an instrumental figure within the UCLA Athletic Department serving as a team physician and the Chief of Sports Medicine until his departure in 2001. He was an Olympic team physician during the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul, Korea. In 1991, Dr. Puffer was instrumental in raising funds to endow the men’s water polo program when its existence was at risk. He served as a mentor to UCLA athletes and coaches alike.

In December of 2001, Dr. Puffer left UCLA to assume the position of Executive Director of the American Board of Family Practice in Lexington, Kentucky. Although he will be greatly missed, Puffer stated that he could not pass up “the opportunity to provide effective and dynamic leadership to my discipline.”

It was in honor of his leadership and devotion to UCLA that the Dr. James Puffer Loyality and Contribution Team Award was created in 2001.

Ken Weiner enters his 17th year overseeing the business operations for the UCLA Athletic Department and is in his 31st year overall with the university.

His duties include the administration and supervision of six Bruin sport programs, including baseball, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s swimming and diving, and men’s and women’s water polo. During his tenure at UCLA Athletics, his sports have garnered 14 national championships and numerous conference championship titles. He also oversees new business and project development, and capital improvements for the department.

Weiner spearheaded the negotiations that resulted in a 20-year agreement between UCLA and the Rose Bowl, including much needed facilities improvements for the football program. In addition, he supervises the athletic facilities division, the operations of UCLA’s sports practice and competition venues, game and event operations, department and team travel and UCLA Camps and Clinics.

In eight years as UCLA’s Director of Athletics, Daniel G. Guerrero has boldly placed his imprint on the school’s highly-successful athletic program.

Guerrero, one of the most respected and talented administrators in intercollegiate athletics, has placed his mark on the program as the director of athletics at UCLA. He is currently serving as president of the Division I Athletic Directors Association. In addition, he is the first vice-president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and a member of the NACDA Executive Committee. This past June, Guerrero competed a five-year term on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee. In addition, he serves on the NACDA Executive Committee and is also on the executive board of the Division I Athletic Directors Association. In June of 2007, he was named NACDA Division I West Region Athletic Director of the Year.

Dr. Gene Block became chancellor of UCLA in August 2007. As chief executive officer, he oversees all aspects of the university’s three-part mission of education, research and service.

A champion of public universities, Chancellor Block has set four major priorities for UCLA during his administration: academic excellence, diversity, civic engagement and financial security. He has called for UCLA to deepen its engagement with the Los Angeles region and to increase access for students from underrepresented populations.

Chancellor Block holds UCLA faculty appointments in psychiatry and bio-behavioral sciences in the David Geffen School of Medicine and in physiological science in the College of Letters and Science. He also heads a research laboratory on campus that is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Previously, he served as vice president and provost of the University of Virginia. He holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Stanford University and a master’s and Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Oregon.

Chancellor Block and his wife, Carol, have two adult children. The Blocks are avid Bruin fans and attend the competitions of various Bruin athletic programs.

In his first eight years, Guerrero has clearly established a pattern of “image and substance” that few in his profession can match. UCLA stands as the No. 1 University in the nation for NCAA team championships (106) won, a number that continues to grow under his direction. In those eight years, UCLA teams have won 20 NCAA team titles (the highest total in the nation in that span) in 11 different sports, finished second 16 times and have had an additional 28 Top Five finishes. A staggering 152 teams (of 184 possible) have qualified for NCAA postseason competition and the football team has appeared in seven bowl games. The program has also won 45 conference championships in 15 different sports, produced 400 All-Americans and featured four Honda Award winners, including the 2003-04 Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year.

Guerrero came to UCLA in 2002 from UC Irvine, where he had served as UCI’s fifth Director of Athletics for 10 years. Prior to arriving at UC Irvine, he was the Athletic Director for five years at Cal State Dominguez Hills (1988-92). He received his Bachelor’s degree from UCLA in 1974 and played second base in the Bruin baseball program for four years. Born on November 10, 1951 in Tucson, AZ, he is married to the former Anne Marie Aniello and they have two daughters: Jenna and Katie.

Weiner is responsible for major capital improvements for Athletics. Project include the renovated J.D. Morgan Intercollegiate Athletics Center and Acosta Student Athlete Training Center and Knapp Football Center, the new Hall of Fame, the Jackie Robinson baseball and Easton softball clubhouse construction and stadium renovations, the Drake Track/Marshall Field renovation, a new golf practice facility, Pauley Pavilion interior upgrades and the North soccer field construction. Future projects include a major renovation of the historic Pauley Pavilion, upgrade of the baseball stadium clubhouse and practice facilities and construction of a new Academic Studies Center.

Weiner is a member of NACDA and IAAM. He has served on various committees for the NCAA, most recently as chairman of the Men’s Water Polo Committee.

Prior to his appointment at UCLA Athletics, Weiner co-founded and served as Associate Director of the UCLA Central Ticket Office and continues to serve as the liaison between the Athletic Department and the CTO. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from UCLA in 1978. He and his wife, Caren, have two children, Nicole, 23, and Kevin, 20.

Wooden Academy: Teamwork, Leadership and CharacterThe Wooden Academy is a comprehensive leadership development program designed to educate and support the standards of leadership for Bruin student-athletes. The pillars of the Wooden Academy are teamwork, leader-ship and character. The program is named after legendary Coach John Wooden, and strives to teach the values and principles of his Pyramid of Success. We believe that these skills will assist student-athletes in their pursuit to be suc-cessful leaders and teammates at UCLA, and as they pre-pare to be champions in life. Student-athletes will have the opportunity to participate in the Wooden Academy each year by attending seminars and learning practical leadership lessons from coaches, administrators and Bruin alumni.

Community OutreachBruin student-athletes, coaches and staff have the opportunity to participate in community service activities on campus and through-out the Los Angeles area. Examples of these events include;• Marathon Kids• Dribble for the Cure• Mattel Children’s Hospital• Elementary/Middle School Visits• Team Prime Time/Prime Time Games• UCLA Lab School Jogathon• I’m Going to College• Adopt a Classroom• Special Requests/Events

These outreach opportunities give student-athletes a chance to mentor youth, give back to the community and serve as ambassadors for UCLA Athletics.

All UCLA head coaches stress involvement with the campus and the community. Whether it’s volunteering at an inner-city youth clinic, speaking to children at elementary and middle schools in the area, or assisting in campus programs such as ‘Marathon Kids’ and ‘I’m Going to College,’ community service is an important aspect of being a Bruin. These outreach opportunities give student-athletes a chance to mentor youth, give back to the commu-nity and serve as ambassadors for UCLA Athletics.
