GLVC Offers Division II Conference Shake-Up

The Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) will increase its sports sponsorship from 18 to 20 with the inclusion of men’s and women’s swimming and diving beginning in 2013-14.  The the first-ever GLVC Men’s and Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships will take place at Lake Central High School in St. John, Ind. and the move will create a shake-up in Division II swimming conference. 

The conference currently has five schools that sponsor men's and women's teams - Bellarmine, Drury, Indianapolis, Lewis, and William Jewell.  Truman State will also join as will Missouri S&T and the newly-formed Maryville Program.

CollegeSwimming.com has been analyzing times from the conference meets and while the GLIAC, will lose Indianapolis and Truman, it will still boast one of the most-formidable women's conferences with Grand Valley, Northern Michigan, Ashland, Wayne State, Tiffin, Findlay, Hillsdale, Malone, Lake Erie and eventually Saginaw Valley.  The GLIAC has been the fastest-growing conference in Division II with four teams established within the past five years.

The New South Intercollegiate Swimming Conference, however, will be left with just three teams, following the departures of Bellarmine, Drury and S&T. 

“The addition of men’s and women’s swimming and diving to the GLVC gives us instant credibility as one of the nation’s top swimming conferences, as our members have earned numerous national championships and top-10 rankings,” said GLVC Commissioner Jim Naumovich.  “Most importantly though, our members are now able to bring their swimming programs under our umbrella and compete against one another for the right to be GLVC Champion.”  

Bellarmine, Drury and Missouri S&T currently compete in the New South Intercollegiate Conference, while Indianapolis and Lewis have been members of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, and Truman State and William Jewell are associated with the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.

The Drury men have captured the last nine NCAA Division II National Championships and 11 total since coming on board as a Division II member in 1994, following nine national titles at the NAIA level.  The Panthers have won nine NCAA crowns on the women’s side, including a recent three-peat from 2009-11.  In fact, the Drury women have not placed out of the top-three finishers since classifying as a Division II member in 1994.  When Drury has not won the women’s national title, it has often been Truman State picking up the hardware.  The Bulldogs own seven national championships as a team, having most recently won in 2008 following a streak of six-straight from 2001-06
