About the Mark J Braun Fall Classic Meet

This year marks the 32nd anniversary of the Mark J. Braun Fall Classic, named in honor of Mark Braun, a beloved and influential swim coach in Northeast Ohio during the 1980s and early 1990s. While coaching with University Swim Club, Mark helped establish this meet—then known as the Viking Fall Classic—as a high-level event for age-group and high school swimmers preparing for their seasons. After a brief time away from coaching, he returned to work with the Lake Erie Silver Dolphins, where he was known as a coach, mentor, and friend. Following his passing in 1993 after a courageous battle with leukemia, the meet was renamed in his honor.
