Meet The OwlsR

Rice is an institution with an elite academ-ic curriculum, but when it came time for the University to make a commitment to its swim program and its dynamic head coach, Seth Huston, the mathematics was pretty simple. When looking at the work coach Huston put in and the results he achieved in just a few short years at the helm of the Owls’ swim program — such as developing Rice student-athletes into qualifying for the United States Olympic Trials, making the U.S. National team, and to do so while having a team grade point

average that in the spring of 2010 was the highest of any Division I swim program in the nation (including women’s and men’s teams) — Rice University didn’t so much as blink about writing a $5.4 million check for the construction of a new, state-of-the-art on-campus Aquatics Center for Huston’s Owls to call home. The $5.4 million is a substantial amount to put behind a college swim program, particularly in the current economic climate. The University believes that when it comes to a program like coach Huston’s, it is money well-spent. In each of his eight previous years at Rice University, Huston has helped every member of the team achieve her best personal level of success. Improvement in the individual’s performance has made for better team results, but that’s not all. Now that the fantastic, picturesque and fast (or “crazy-fast” as one Owl recently described it) Rice Aquatics Center Natatorium is complete, there is every reason to expect more of the same from Huston’s teams for years and years to come. Last year was his best season yet. The program moved into the beautiful new pool and the team responded. The junior tandem of Karen Gerken and Alex O’Brien won Conference USA individual championships in the 500- and 1,650-yard freestyle events, respectively. The Owls won five dual meets overall and earlier claimed the team title of the Delta State Invitational meet over five other opponents. There were nine new entries in the school record books, but swimming fast was only part of the story. In the classroom the 2010 Owls won college swimming’s “Academic National Championship.” According to the National Collegiate Swim Coaches’ Association (NCSCAA), Huston’s Owls had the highest cumulative grade point average (3.62) of any of the 347 women’s and men’s swim teams from the country’s 238 Division I schools. His peers in Conference USA voted him as the 2010 Coach of the Year. Rice swimming was the repeat national academic winner from 2009. In the pool, the Owls posted a huge road win at the Nebraska Cornhusker Invitational in Lincoln, Neb. Senior Skylar Craig and sophomore Erin Mattson both broke indi-vidual school records in the backstroke and butterfly, respectively. Four Huston-coached relays set new school records to close out the competitive season. Rice’s 2008 season was sensational. Huston led the Owls to a Top 40 finish at the NCAA National Championships and a second place finish at the Confer-ence USA meet. He coached Brittany Massengale to All-America status in her final year of eligibility, but the Owls’ season didn’t end with the NCAA meet. He went on to coach Massengale and fellow Owl Carlyann Miller into qualifying for the 2008 United States Olympic Trials. At the end of the 2008 school year it was a Huston-coached and recruited swimmer, Diane Gu, who was named the winner of the Joyce Pounds-Hardy Award. The Pounds-Hardy Award is presented to the top female student-athlete at Rice University who achieves the most in academics, community service, campus involvement and her respective athletic competition. As it turns out, all the criteria for the University’s Pounds-Hardy Award have long-been part of Huston’s recruiting checklist. The 2007 season was a breakthrough year. Not only did Huston coach Rice to its highest-ever finish at a conference championship meet (as the Owls took sec-ond at the 2007 C-USA Championships), he coached league champions for both an individual and relay event. In 2006 his Owl swimmers participated in the U.S. Swimming’s Senior Nation-als and, for the first time ever, a Rice swimmer made the United States National Team and represent the country in an international meet. After coaching Massen-gale to set new school records in the 500, the 1,000 and 1650-freestyle, she com-peted for the U.S. national team at the Open Water World Championships in Italy. In no small part to her Rice head coach, Massengale also went on to swim in the U.S. Olympic Trials in two pool events and could compete in the international open water events in the future. Huston coached both Massengale and Diane Gu, then a freshman, to qualify-ing for the 2006 NCAA Championships. By getting all the members of the Blue & Gray to perform at their peak, the Owls have stepped up with some solid dual meet

wins in his tenure such as defeating Miami on the road in Florida, LSU on the road in Baton Rouge, and finishes ahead of Ohio State, Arkansas, Nebraska, TCU, Houston, Colorado State, Nevada and Washington State at multi-team events. The victories have certainly grabbed some attention for Rice swimming, but Huston still has his eye on the bigger picture. The head coach and his staff have worked hard at training the individual ath-letes to reach their best, but Huston has worked equally hard at identifying the best student-athletes across the country and bringing them to Rice. In its annual summer wrap up of the top high school performers in the country (a list including both pub-lic and private schools), the National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association (NISCA) listed three incoming Owl recruits among the nation’s top seniors in their respective events. As a result, winning is nothing new to a Huston-coached team. Prior to joining Rice in May of 2002, Huston spent eight years at Truman State University in Kirks-ville, Mo., where he was the head coach of both the men’s and women’s teams. He is a four-time Division II women’s coach of the year and has won back-to-back Division II national championships in 2001 and 2002. The Truman men tied their best-ever result with a ninth-place finish in 2002. Huston, 46, has been named the College Swim Coaches Association of Amer-ica (CSCAA) coach of the year four times and he was the Mid East Championships coach of the year from 1995-98. He has coached the Division II women’s swimmer of the year. Truman State swimmers set eight NCAA Division II meet records during Huston’s tenure, and the school produced more than 100 Division II all-Americas. While at Truman State, Huston coached 22 academic all-Americas (16 women and six men) and both teams have posted 16 consecutive semesters as CSCAA all-aca-demic teams. The St. Louis native earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education from the University of Tampa in 1988 and a master’s from TCU in 1990, serving as an assistant swim coach at both schools. Before landing the head coaching job at Truman State, Huston spent four years as the head coach and program director of Katy Aquatics in Houston, where he was named age-group coach of the year in 1992. He built a program that produced three top-seven finishes at the Texas Age Group Champion-ships, numerous state champions and a ninth-place men’s finish at the 1994 Junior National Swimming Championships. An active participant in the U.S. Swimming program, Huston is a member of the CSCAA as well as the American Swimming Coaches Association. He is an ASCA certified coach, having coached swimmers at all levels of excellence from NCAA all-Americas to Olympic Trial qualifiers and U.S. National Team members. Huston trains and competes in masters swimming, open-water swimming, and enjoys cycling. He and his wife Amy have been married for 21 years, and the couple have three children: Hobie, 17; Hanna, 15; and Eli, 11.

Seth Huston, Head CoachUniversity of Tampa, 1988; M.S. TCU, 1990 w Ninth Year at Rice

Now in his ninth season at the helm of the Rice Swim program, and with one of the newest on-campus swimming facilities in the country to call home, head coach Seth Huston has the Owls ready to reach new heights.


Meet The Owls R

Jada Hallmark, Assistant CoachRice, 2001; M.S. Colorado State, 2004Fifth Year on Rice Coaching Staff Former Owl standout Jada Hall-mark is in her fifth season as an assistant coach after returning to her alma mater. Hallmark assists with every aspect of the Rice swim program. Her duties include but are not limited to coaching and training the student-athletes, team stategies and assignments for meets,

recruiting (on a world-wide scale), team travel and monitoring the Owls’ individual academic progress. When Rice head coach Seth Huston began to look to add the newest member to the coaching staff in the fall of 2006, the search went nation-wide, but it turned out that it didn’t need to go any further than the school’s own record book. As a Rice letterwinner from 1998-2001, the former Jada Sanders set the school record in the 200-yard butterfly her senior year and posted some of the program’s top times in the individual medley and 200-backstroke. She joined the Owls’ staff after working with the Rice Aquatics Mas-ters program and serving the last few years as the coach of local age groups. Coach Huston said that having an accomplished former record

holder join the coaching staff is a tremendous benefit, and that being a former Rice student-athlete she gives her a unique relationship and un-derstanding with the Owls. “I think Jada has been a great addition to the team,” Huston said. “I have known her since she was 12 or 13 as an age group swimmer for Blue Tide Aquatics. I respect Jada’s opinions and her competitiveness. She has remained close to the Rice program since she graduated and always maintained a very positive and outgoing presence. Jada can certainly re-late to the team members, and I am sure they can relate to her because she knows the demands of being a student-athlete here at Rice.” Hallmark is a native of Kingwood, Texas. At Rice she was a member of Sid Richardson College. She is married to Patrick Hallmark of Houston, a Rice graduate (Brown College) and 1995 baseball letterman. He currently serves as a coach for Rice’s nationally-ranked baseball program. The couple have three children. Their oldest son, Christian, is a multi-sport prodigy born in May of 2005. Their second son, Tanner, (also a future Division I star) was born in August of 2007. The third leg of the growing Hallmark relay team, Grayson, was born in March of 2009.
