Swim coach to take post at Auburn

After bringing the women's swimming and diving to new heights in her seven years at IU, Dorsey Tierney has decided to change posts and take a co-head coaching position at Auburn University effective June 1. \nIn her time at IU, nearly 100 Hoosiers claimed All-American certificates. Swimmers also claimed nine individual titles and two Big Ten relay titles.\nWhile Tierney helmed the Hoosiers, the team made steady progress in the Big Ten and on a national level. IU was 47-17 in dual meets, claiming the Big Ten title in 2003. The Hoosiers also received their best finish ever at the NCAAs with a ninth place finish this season.\n"We appreciate Dorsey's dedication and commitment to the Indiana women's swimming and diving program," said Athletics Director Rick Greenspan. "We wish her the best, and will begin our search for her successor immediately."\nTierney will be taking a step forward at her new job as she joins one of the top programs in the country. Auburn has won three national titles since 2002, winning back-to-back-to-back from 2002-2004. This past season, the Tigers finished second at the NCAA Championships. In the same time span, Auburn has also won three Southeastern Conference titles. \nThough Tierney is slated to take the post June 1, Auburn would not comment regarding her position.\n"We cannot formally say anything right now," said Auburn sports information director Dan Froehlich. "We are currently finishing up the process."\nThough the Hoosiers will be losing their coach, much of the team will be returning -- only two players are \ngraduating.\nAttempts to reach Tierney were unsuccessful by press time.
