COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. –
Brad Boswell's experience as an assistant athletics director in Purdue's compliance office coupled with his All-American accomplishments as a swimmer at Tennessee have led to his election to the board of directors for the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America.Boswell was elected to a newly created administrative position on the CSCAA board of directors. Wednesday he was announced along with new two-year association president Joe Dykstra (Utah) and fellow new board members Mandy DiSalle (Cincinnati), Teresa Fish (Illinois Wesleyan), Jeanne Fleck (Fresno State) and Patrick Snively (Fairmont State).
"On many campuses, swimming & diving can be found at the top of the list for grade point average, graduation rate, and most other academic benchmarks," Boswell said. "Student-athletes finish their career and go out to the workforce as confident, disciplined, and hardworking members of society and I hope to promote this narrative in my role."
The CSCAA board of directors provides strategic oversight of the association in its efforts to serving and providing leadership for the advancement of the sport of swimming & diving at the collegiate level.
Boswell joined Purdue Athletics in January 2018. He is primary compliance liaison to both swimming & diving programs as well as football, baseball and women's basketball. He had an opportunity to accompany the Purdue men and women to their Big Ten Championships in Bloomington and Iowa City this season.
Boswell was a four-year NCAA Championships qualifier and 15-time All-American for Tennessee from 2004 to 2007. As a team captain and Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll honoree during his senior season, he was the recipient of the Brad Davis SEC Community Service Postgraduate Scholarship. He went on to earn his Juris Doctor degree and a masters of business administration at Southern Illinois.
The Rockford, Illinois, native excelled in the backstroke and distance freestyle events. His career-best mark of 46.72 in the 100-yard backstroke as a senior ranked second in UT history when he graduated and is still seventh in the team record book.
"I sort of had a unique career at Tennessee as I was recruited to be a distance freestyler in the 500 and the mile, which I was my first two years. But then we discovered I was pretty good at sprint backstroke," Boswell said. "I finaled at NCAAs my junior and senior year in the 100 backstroke, and was probably best at the 50 back to lead off the 200 medley relay."
Boswell helped the Volunteers' 200 medley relay team win bronze at the 2007 NCAA Championships. Individually, he also took sixth in the 100 back that season. His versatility helped earned him a spot on at least three of Tennessee's All-American relays at NCAAs in three different seasons. He went on to compete at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials.
DiSalle joins the CSCAA's executive board as president-elect, rising to CSCAA President in 2022. Fleck, Snively and Fish were elected as women's team representatives in their respective NCAA Divisions while Boswell was elected to a newly-created administrative position. The five join existing board members including men's divisional representatives McGee Moody (South Carolina), Heidi Voigt (Northern Michigan), and Brad Shively (Washington University). Additional members include Teri McKeever (Cal) and Greg Brandes (Rochester). Clark Campbell (Kansas), having completed his term as president, will remain on the executive board as past-president. Matt Barany (Richmond) and Brian Schrader (Iowa) remain at treasurer and secretary respectively.
