Teams from 1980-89
In 1980 head coach Cal Bentz and diving coach Jeff Huber won UNL’s first Big 8 Conference Championship. These two coaches went on to create excellent swimming and diving teams and continued to win the Big 8 Championship, making them the best team in the Big 8 for an entire decade. During this time a number of prolific swimmers swam for UNL, most notably Peter Williams. Coach Jeff Huber eventually left the team in 1989 and was replaced with coach Jim Hocking, who coached the divers till the team's disbandment. These 1980s teams were blessed with an up to date facility and managed to recruit a lot of international talent. No photographs were found for the year 1984. For many of the 1980’s teams no roster photographs were found, but individual photos of swimmers and divers were found and placed within the project.
