GROVE CITY COLLEGE
THE JAMES E. LONGNECKER COMPETITON POOL
JAMES E. LONGNECKER POOL
The James E. Longnecker Competition Pool is one of the nation’s top
small-college aquatic facilities. The 8-lane facility is regarded as one of the
fastest pools in the region and is reserved solely for use by the College’s
swimming and diving and water polo athletes.
The Pool features two one-meter diving boards and one three-meter
board as well as five Power Rack stations. An eight-lane electronic Colorado
Timing System is integrated into the pool and scoreboard. The scoreboard
features eight lines for results, three lines for event/heat and scoring and a
scrolling line that shows lane-by-lane results.
The shallow end of the Pool is seven feet; thus the facility is able to host
several Collegiate Water Polo Association events that are restricted from
“shallow-deep” pools. Since 2000, Grove City College has hosted several
CWPA championship events.
The James E. Longnecker Competition Pool is 25 yards in length and 56
feet wide. It holds 408,913 gallons of water. The seating capacity of the Pool
area is approximately 400.
The Pool has been home to the Presidents’ Athletic Conference Swimming and Diving Championships since 1990.

COACHING STAFF
HEAD COACH DAVE FRITZ
A 1994 Grove City College graduate, Dave Fritz is in his sixth season as Grove City College’s
head women’s swimming and diving coach. He has guided the Wolverines to five Presidents’
Athletic Conference titles and four top 11 finishes at the NCAA Division III Championships.
In 2013, Grove City posted its best-ever finish at the national championships by placing
ninth in the team standings. A program-record seven competitors earned NCAA Division III
All-America honors. The Wolverines won their fifth straight league title and 16 athletes earned
All-PAC honors. Angela Palumbo concluded her career as a 21-time NCAA All-American and
also became the first two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American in program history.
Fritz’s first season as Grove City’s head coach turned out to be the finest in program
history as the Wolverines finished 13-1 overall in 2009-10, captured the Presidents’ Athletic
Conference title and finished 11th as a team at the NCAA Division III Championships. Six
competitors earned NCAA All-America honors in 2010.
The 2010-11 season saw Grove City repeat as conference champion. Five swimmers earned
NCAA Division III All-America honors, helping the Wolverines to another 11th-place finish.
Overall, Fritz owns a 51-29 record in dual meets as women’s head coach, including a 20-1 mark in conference action.
Fritz has also coached the College’s men’s swimming and diving team for the past 12 seasons. Under his direction, the
men’s team returned to the national spotlight as a premier small-college program.
In 2006-07, two Grove City swimmers earned NCAA Division III championships as Tim Whitbeck won the national title in
the 50 free and Caleb Courage repeated as national champion in the 100 free.
In 2009, 11 Grove City swimmers earned NCAA Division III All-America distinction as the Wolverines placed sixth in the
team standings at the NCAA Championships. During the regular season, Grove City went 12-2 overall and won the Presidents’ Athletic Conference title for the second straight season.
Three years ago, the Wolverines captured their fifth straight conference title and Fritz earned the league’s Coach of the
Year award. Sixteen Grove City performers earned All-PAC recognition in 2011-12.
In 2006, Courage became Grove City’s first men’s swimmer to earn a national title.
Fritz has guided Grove City’s men to a 104-52 overall dual-meet record, including a College-record 15 victories during
the 2006-07 season. In 2006-07, Grove City posted victories over eventual NCAA Division III champion Kenyon, perennial
power Case Western Reserve, NCAA Division I institution Butler and archrival Westminster.
Fritz spent eight seasons as head coach of Grove City’s women’s water polo squad. In 2007, Fritz led the women’s water
polo team to a program-record 18 victories and a fifth-place finish at the Collegiate III National Championships. The next
year, Fritz guided Grove City to a fifth-place finish at the Collegiate III Championships in New London, Conn., as the Wolverines finished 13-12 overall. Six Grove City water polo players earned All-America honors under his guidance.
He owns master’s degrees from both Duquesne University and Slippery Rock University. Fritz lives in Slippery Rock with
his wife Tammy, daughters Emily and Mary, and sons Hayden and Harrison.

SEASON PREVIEW
Sophomore All-American Abby Jank is one of 12 returning All-PAC performers for Grove City.
10 in 1-meter diving and will look to make an even greater
contribution on both boards this year.
Grove City's sophomore class features seven returning
letterwinners, including returning All-American Abby Jank.
Jank moved into Grove City's top 10 all-time in the 200 free
last year and will enhance the Wolverines in the freestyle
events.
Sophomore Molly Gallant earned First Team All-PAC
recognition as a freshman and is one of the conference's
top returning sprinters.
Meanwhile, sophomore butterflier Amanda Hutzelmann
captured Second Team All-PAC last year and will fortify the
Wolverines in the butterfly once again in 2014-15.
Like Hutzelmann, sophomore Kristi Riesmeyer made
an immediate contribution in the butterfly last year and will
again be looked to in that specialty. She ranks sixth all-time
at Grove City in the 200 butterfly.
Sophomore Megan Smith emerged in the distance
events in 2013-14 and concluded her rookie season by receiving First Team All-PAC. Smith will again be counted on
in the 500 and 1650.
Fellow sophomore Madison Van Dyke joined Cassano
in leading Grove City's backstroke team last year and garnered Second Team All-PAC.
Diver Grace Klimek posted a strong freshman season
in 2013-14 and ranks second all-time in program history
on the low board. She will join Eckendorf and Fortney in
giving Grove City a formidable diving corps this season.
Sophomore freestyler Shelly Newcamp and sophomore
breaststroker Stefani Wendelschaefer will also look to earn
full-time spots in the lineup this year after gaining valuable
experience as rookies.
Several newcomers are also expected to contribute immediately this year.

SEASON PREVIEW
The Grove City College women's swimming and
diving team enters the 2014-15 season fully stocked in
its pursuit of an unprecedented seventh consecutive
Presidents' Athletic Conference title.
Grove City returns four NCAA Division III All-Americans, a dozen All-Presidents' Athletic Conference performers and 19 total letterwinners for this season.
A seven-woman senior class will help lead the Wolverines this winter.
Seniors Tori Baker and Lauren Cassano have each
earned three NCAA All-America honors during their
career. Baker will look to remain one of Grove City's
top sprinters while Cassano is one of the region's top
backstrokers. Cassano won the league title in both backstroke events in 2014.
Baker and Cassano each earned First Team AllPAC last year.
Seniors Amy Melnik and Keegan Reed also earned
First Team All-PAC last year and again will be key cogs
in the Grove City lineup. Melnik returns in the sprints
and butterfly while Reed is the defending conference
champion in the 200 breaststroke.
Senior Liv Beckner owns three letters and will again
bring valuable experience in both the butterfly and distance events. She is 10th all-time at the College in the
1650.
Versatile senior Lauren Burrows returns for her third
season at Grove City and is expected to boost the
Wolverines in the breaststroke and distance events.
Returning letterwinner Krystal Gwynn is back for
her fourth season and will contribute in the freestyle
events, specifically the 500 and 1650.
Fourth-year performer Elizabeth Funk will look to
further solidify a spot in the Wolverine lineup this year.
Cassano, Melnik and Reed are the team's captains
this season.
A quintet of talented juniors will augment Grove
City's strong senior class. Junior Megan Bilko earned
All-America honors in four events last season and is
the returning conference MVP.
She is one of the nation's top returning swimmers
in the distance events.
Junior Ashley Meesuk is a two-year letterwinner in
the breaststroke and individual medley. She earned AllPAC as a freshman while classmate Rachel Shimrock
has also lettered in the breaststroke and IM.
Grove City's deep diving squad also features a pair
of junior letterwinners. Carolyn Eckendorf owns the
school record on both the 1- and 3-meter boards and
qualified for the NCAA Regional Championships last
year.
Eckendorf earned First Team All-PAC last year and
will likely challenge for conference supremacy this year.
Junior Jessica Fortney returns for her second season at Grove City after lettering during the 2013-14
season. Fortney moved into Grove City's all-time top

ABOUT
THE
CONFERENCE
ABOUT THE PAC
Founded in 1955, the Presidents’ Athletic Conference continues its mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics and
the pursuit of academic excellence.
Comprised of 10 select private colleges - Bethany College, Chatham University, Geneva College, Grove City College, Saint Vincent College, Thiel College, Thomas More College, Washington & Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and Westminster College - the PAC remains a unique
organization in this day of high-pressure intercollegiate athletics.
With academics at the center of each member’s philosophy, the PAC is built on the principle that an athletic
program is a part of college life, but not an entity in itself.
During the 2005-06 academic year, Chatham, Geneva
and Saint Vincent all joined the PAC. Chatham competed for
PAC championships for the first time during the 2007-08
academic year.
Saint Vincent first competed for conference titles in 201011. Geneva became eligible for conference titles in 2011-12.
In 2014, Carnegie Mellon University and Case Western
Reserve University will compete for the conference’s championship in football as affiliate members.
The PAC annually crowns champions in 19 sports. AllConference status is awarded in all 19 sports. Head coaches
select all-league squads for all team sports, while in individual sports such as cross country and tennis, all-PAC accolades are based upon performances at the conference
championships.
The PAC annually awards its men’s and women’s AllSports Trophies to the schools which perform best across
the board in conference competition.
Grove City won the Women’s All-Sports Trophy for the
2012-13 academic year while Washington & Jefferson earned
the Men’s All-Sports Trophy.
In 2012-13, the league named a conference-record 853
student-athletes to the PAC Academic Honor Roll, which recognizes all participating student-athletes who attain a term
grade-point average of 3.60 or above during their semester of competition.

GROVE CITY COLLEGE
ABOUT GROVE CITY COLLEGE
ABOUT THE COLLEGE
The beautifully landscaped campus of Grove City College stretches
over 150 acres and includes 28 neoGothic buildings. It is considered one
of the loveliest in the nation.
While the College has changed
to meet the needs of the society it
serves, its basic philosophy has remained unchanged since its founding in 1876. It is a Christian, liberal
arts institution, dedicated to the
principle of providing the highest
quality education at the lowest possible cost.
Wishing to remain truly independent and to retain its distinctive
qualities as a private school governed by private citizens (trustees),
it is one of few colleges in the country that does not accept federal
funds.
Affiliated with the Presbyterian
Church (U.S.A.), but not narrowly denominational, the College believes
that to be well-educated a student
should be exposed to the central
ideas of the Judeo-Christian tradition.
Grove City College offers undergraduate degrees in liberal arts, sciences, engineering, business, and
music and is distinguished as a national leader in education.
Grove City’s programs in electrical and mechanical engineering
are accredited by the Engineering
Accreditation Commission Board of
the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
The “big business school curriculum” prepares students for
today’s global business reality. An
extensive variety of internship opportunities are provided across the
curriculum.
Grove City College wants its students to be prepared in this age of
mobile information technology.
Each entering freshman receives
a tablet computer which is his or hers
to keep upon graduation with a
four-year degree.
This is part of the Information
Technology Initiative, a total program integrating technology across
the curriculum.
PROGRAMS AND MAJORS
Grove City College’s
Breen Student Union
The College believes that its student body has a unique mix of talents and abilities.
Its Career Services program
helps students identify those key assets during the first year and then
builds a four-year strategy to help
them pursue a satisfying career.
Personal counseling, professional speakers, databases, alumni
contacts, summer internships, corporate visits, employer presentations
and more are incorporated into the
career preparation experience.
Grove City follows the semester
calendar plan, in addition to offering two-week sessions in January
and May.
Most of the 2,500 students live
in separate men’s and women’s dormitories. The rest are local commuters or married students.
A full program of cultural, professional, athletic and social activities is offered, including 19 intercollegiate varsity athletic teams.
Grove City, a town of 8,100
people, is located 60 miles north of
Pittsburgh. It is located near
Interstates 79 and 80 and has a municipal airport.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES
All 19 of Grove City College’s intercollegiate
varsity athletic teams utilize the College’s superior
facilities for competition, practices and off-season
training and conditioning.
Grove City’s athletic facilities have undergone
numerous renovations and improvements in recent years, with more upgrades scheduled in the
immediate future.
On lower campus, Robert E. Thorn Field is home
to the College’s football and track and field teams.
The College installed CSTurf at Robert E. Thorn
Field. CSTurf is a synthetic playing surface that
features polyethylene LSR grass fibers and a rubber infill system.
The College also installed lights and resurfaced
the 8-lane track around the field. Grove City also
reconfigured its setup for track meets during these
renovations.
In 2011, the College installed a new state-ofthe-art scoreboard and new bleachers on the visitors’ side at Thorn Field.
These upgrades benefit the entire campus community as the complex is used by both the College’s
club sports teams and its intramural program,
along with the varsity teams.
The track is also available for use by recreational walkers and joggers. The complex also features 10 all-weather tennis courts next to the stadium.
Phillips Field House, located at the north end
of the complex, features several locker rooms, an
athletic training room, meeting rooms and coaches’
offices. It is used by the football, track and tennis
programs throughout the academic year.
The Physical Learning Center (PLC) houses the
Grove City College Arena, home to the College’s
basketball and volleyball programs.
In summer 2012, the College renovated the
Arena by installing new lighting and a new playing
floor. In recent years, the Arena has also received
new scoreboards and scorers’ tables.
The home of Grove City’s football and track and
field teams, Robert E. Thorn Field has received
