January is National Stalking Awareness Month, a time to focus on a crime that affected 6.6 million victims in one year. The theme — “Stalking: Know It. Name It. Stop It.” — challenges the nation to fight this dangerous crime by learning more about it. Stalking is a crime in all 50 states, the U.S. Territories and the District of Columbia, yet many victims and criminal justice professionals underestimate its seriousness and impact. In one of five cases, stalkers use weapons to harm or threaten victims, and stalking is one of the significant risk factors for femicide (homicide of women) in abusive relationships. Victims suffer anxiety, social dysfunction, and severe depression at much higher rates than the general population, and many lose time from work or have to move as a result of their victimization.

While I am extremely proud of the Ohio Swimming & Diving teams’ accomplishments during my 18+ year tenure, I cannot take credit for the league titles of my predecessor Scott Hammond, his staff and the incredibly talented teams of the late 1980s and 1990s. Those teams and staffs should be credited with seven of the 11 MAC Championships garnered by Ohio Swimming & Diving.
