The coaching staffs aim to meet with each of its potential recruits on campus at some point either during their junior or senior year of high school. Those meetings generally take place during an NCAA sanctioned official recruiting visit, as part of an unofficial visit that is initiated by a potential recruit, or as part of several Open House programs that are sponsored by the College’s Admissions Office.
Brandon Birchak captured the College’s first National Championship in any sport in March of 2007 after winning the one and three-meter diving events at the NCAA II Swimming and Diving Championships.
