Cornell University Athletics

A three-time Eastern champion, Newman graduated with five individual and four school relay records. Newman swam on five Eastern champion relay teams during his career as well. He qualified for the NCAA's in both 2007 and 2009 in the 200 free, and finished in the top five at the 2008 Canadian Olympic Trials in two events (fourth in the 400 free, fifth in the 100 butterfly). A two-year team captain and the winner of the 2008 Richie Moran Award at Cornell, he was voted the team's most valuable performer in each of his four seasons. Newman was a catalyst for the program's undefeated 2007 dual meet season, as well as its third-place finish at the 2009 Ivy championship meet. Newman was an honorable mention NCAA Scholastic All-American. He returned to Cornell as assistant coach in 2009 and was elevated to the head coaching position in 2015.
