United States Naval Academy Men's Swimming

Roberts has been named as the ECAC Coach of the Year on each of those title-winning campaigns. Navy also has been successful during the regular season under Roberts. The Mids have posted double figure win totals in 10 of his 13 seasons and have compiled an overall record of 140-48. Ten of Navy's 17 losses over the last four seasons have come to nationally-ranked foes such as North Carolina, Virginia and Penn State, with another coming to Princeton during the 2012-13 season. The Mids posted a 12-1 record during the 2015-16 season, with wins coming against Army West Point ---- the team's 25th in a row in the series ---- East Carolina, Penn State and Columbia and their lone blemish being a defeat to North Carolina. Navy would cap its collegiate season by winning Patriot League and ECAC crowns. Individually, six Mids qualified for the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials. Navy compiled a 7-6 record during its 2014-15 campaign, with the team's losses coming to Georgia Tech, Penn State, Princeton, Columbia, Virginia and North Carolina. The Mids capped the season by sweeping the team titles at the Patriot League and ECAC championship meets, with Roberts earning coach-of-the-year accolades at each. The Mids posted a 7-4 record during the 2013-14 season on their way to sweeping the Patriot League and ECAC titles. Seven Mids would then go on to compete at the 2014 NCAA Championship. The 2011-12 season was another memorable one for the Mids. Navy defeated both Virginia (15th at 2012 NCAA Championship) and Penn State (23rd at NCAA Championship) on its way to tallying an 11-1 record during the regular season. The Mids then became the first team in Patriot League history to win all 18 swimming events at the league meet, and won the ECAC title for the fourth time in four years. The year concluded with 13 Mids qualifying for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials. Navy's 2011-12 campaign came on the heels of a successful 2010-11 regular season that was highlighted by the Mids becoming the first team in the two-decade existence of DeNunzio Pool to defeat Princeton. The Mids posted a 167-133 win over the Tigers that day to snap Princeton's home-pool winning streak of 94 meets. The Mids then established a new team points tally at the Patriot League Championship for the third consecutive year (1,031.5 pts.) to win the meet by 452.5 points. The year was capped off by Navy winning its third ECAC title in the last three seasons. With the success of the overall program, Navy also has consistently qualified individual athletes for national meets under Roberts. The program returned to the NCAAChampionship Meet for the first time in nearly a decade during his inaugural season of 2004, with four swimmers competing in a combined six individual events at the national meet ---- which included Noah White's `A' cut time in the 50 free ---- and earning Honorable Mention All-America certificates in a pair of relay events. Navy again sent multiple swimmers to the 2009 NCAAChampionship, with both Adam Meyer and Erik Hunter competing in a trio of events. Meyer would join the illustrious list of Navy swimmers to have garnered All-America accolades when he received Honorable Mention All-America honors that year. He then duplicated his efforts in 2010 to become the first Navy swimmer in 40 years to garner multiple All-America accolades in a career. Meyer's brother, Mark, joined Justin Vagts in competing at the 2011 NCAAChampionship. Included among the program's seven competitors at the 2014 NCAA Championship was Tom Duvall, who advanced to the championship final in the 500 free that year to bring another All-America accolade back to The Yard. Duvall also competed in three events at the 2016 meet, which made him just the second Navy swimmer in over three decades to have qualified for multiple NCAA Championships. Additionally during the Roberts era, Navy swimmers have annually taken part in national meets such as the World Championship Trials, the World Military Games, the ConocoPhillips National Championship, the USASwimming Spring Championship and Arena Grand Prix meets. Success has also been achieved by the men's swimming and diving team in the classroom under Roberts. A total of 161 Mids have earned Patriot League Academic Honor Roll accolades over the last 13 years, and the team as a whole has been recognized multiple times as an Academic All-America Team by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America. Roberts first arrived at Navy during the summer of 1997 when he joined Lee Lawrence's coaching staff as an assistant coach. In three seasons together the Lawrence-Roberts duo guided Navy to a 27-10 record, including an 18-9 mark in the Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming League. Roberts coached Navy's 200 freestyle relay team that won the 1999 EISL title, and helped develop sprinter Clint Cornell to a 2000 Olympic Trials appearance and to the 2001 EISL 50-yard freestyle title. A 1992 graduate of Springfield College, where he was a four-year letterwinner and served as team captain for two seasons, Roberts began his coaching career upon graduation as the head coach of the women's team at Wells College in his hometown of Aurora, N.Y. After two seasons at Wells, he served as a graduate assistant coach at East Carolina, where he also earned a master's degree in athletic administration. In the summer of 1996, he joined the Villanova program for one year before coming to the Naval Academy. Roberts left Navy in 2000 to become the head coach at Colgate, during which time his men's and women's teams combined to post a three-year record of 39-36. Roberts and his wife, Nicole, have three sons ---- Will, age 17; Nick, age 15; and Jackson, age 13.

MacDonald himself was selected as the leagues diving coach of the year. Additionally, Mayo, Ben Freedman and D.J. Principato qualified for the NCAA Zone A Championship. That success continued in his second season as his six divers scored points in all 18 of their respective events, which led to MacDonald again being named as the leagues coach of the year. Individually, Nate Belch won both boards at the Patriot League Championship to be tabbed as the leagues diver of the year, Joe Esposito was the runner-up on the three meter, Julie Jesse won the leagues one-meter board and Amanda Zerphy placed second on the three meter. Additionally, each of those four divers competed at the 2015 NCAA Zone A Diving Championship. Navys divers had another successful season in 2015-16. On the mens side, freshman Joe Kaszubowski was tabbed as the diver of the year in the league after winning the three meter and finishing in second place on the one meter, with Belch claiming the one-meter title and placing second on the three meter. Jesse was selected as the womens diver of the league after she won the three-meter board and placed third in the one-meter competition. Jesse (two events), Belch (two events), Love (two events) and Kaszubowski (three events) all competed at the NCAA Zone A Diving Championship, with Kaszubowski advancing to the NCAA Championship in the platform diving event. MacDonald arrived at Navy in the summer of 2013 after having served as the head diving coach at Virginia for the previous four seasons. One of his divers advanced to the NCAA Championship in each of his last two seasons. Briggy Imbriglia placed 13th on the platform at the 2012 national championship while J.B. Kolod placed 12th on the three meter the highest finish in an event by a Virginia diver at the meet in school history in 2013. The two are the lone Virginia divers to have earned NCAA All-America recognition. Additionally, a minimum of three Virginia divers qualified for the NCAA Zone Championship meet in each of his four years, with all nine of his divers advancing to the 2013 event. Virginia swept the mens and womens Atlantic Coast Conference swimming and diving team titles and recorded a combined seven top-20 showings in the final team standings at the respective NCAA Championship meets during MacDonalds four-year stint. A 1997 graduate of Rhode Island, MacDonald began serving as the diving coach at his alma mater immediately upon his graduating from the school. He would coach a pair of conference champions and three NCAA Zone Championship meet qualifiers in his three seasons at Rhode Island. MacDonald then became the first full-time diving coach in East Carolina history when he accepted the position in 2000. He guided at least one diver to the NCAA Zone Championship meet in all but one of his nine seasons at the school. Additionally, MacDonalds divers broke every school diving record during his stint at the school, he saw eight of his divers final in multiple events at the conference championship and he coached Christie Icenhower to the 2005 Conference USA Freshman Diver-of-the-Year award. In addition to his 19 years of coaching on the collegiate level, MacDonald has also spent considerable time coaching on the club level. This includes six years at the Fort Washington Swim Club in his hometown of Fort Washington, Pa., nine years at the Emerald City Dive Club in Greenville, N.C., and four years as the founder, owner and head coach of the Wahoo Diving Club in Charlottesville, Va. MacDonald and his wife, Christie, are the parents of Bryan, who will turn two in early 2017.
