COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Head coach Sean Schimmel recently announced the completion of Maryland's 2011 signing class, adding six student-athletes to a highly-touted group poised for action this fall.

On the men's side, the Terps added five swimmers including Matthew Tynan, Raymon Cswerko, Ryan Magee, Aaron Sears and Anderson Sloan.

"We were already excited with the five guys we signed in the fall, but now with the addition of Anderson Sloan, Matt Tynan, Ryan Magee, Ray Cswerko and Aaron Sears, we really bolster that already strong group of young men," Schimmel said. "I am very excited about the future of our men's program."

Stephanie Martinez was the lone student-athlete added to this year's women's class.

"We are excited to bring Stephanie Martinez to our team," Schimmel said. "Having already signed some accomplished freestylers, such as Kacie Ciampoli and Megan Zarriello, in the fall, bringing Stephanie into that mix with our upper freestyle crew will provide a great training and competitive atmosphere."

Schimmel and the coaching staff, including recruiting coordinator John Pontz, scoured the nation to comprise this year's class, which includes 18 student-athletes from 10 different states.

"We have had some holes in our lineup and this group will certainly help us fill those holes," Schimmel said. "I am looking forward to what all 18 new men and women are going to bring to the Maryland swimming and diving program. We have only begun to scratch the surface of what these teams are capable of."
