Stadium highlights and history
The formal dedication for the aquatic center was held Oct. 31, 1986 after the Arizona State Board of Regents named the facility on March 1, 1985, after the late Mona Plummer.
Plummer served as the head women's swim coach for 22 years (1957–79) at ASU and coached the Sun Devils to eight national championships. While at ASU, Plummer tutored nine Olympians and nearly four dozen all-Americas. She was selected the national coach of the year in 1979, as the Sun Devils finished second at the AIAW Championship after winning the 1977 and 1978 titles. ASU captured the national crown from 1967 through 1974.
"She was the premier swimming coach during her era and her success helped all other women's sports at Arizona State University prosper," said former ASU associate athletic director Herman Frazier. "The dedication of our aquatic center could not have gone to a better person."
Notable events which have been held at the complex include:
- The WCAA Championship
- Water polo exhibition between the U.S. National Team and ASU
- Pac-10 and NCAA Zone E Diving Championships
- U.S. Junior National Diving Championship
- Pac-10 and NCAA Zone E Diving Championships
