Utah Will Not Renew Head Coach Greg Winslow’s Contract

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March 4. UTAH Director of Athletics Dr. Chris Hill announced today that the school will not renew swimming and diving coach Greg Winslow's contract when it comes up in June.

“We decided it is in the best interest of our current student-athletes, future recruits and the general well being of our swimming and diving program to announce today that we will not be renewing Greg Winslow's contract after this season,” said Director of Athletics Dr. Chris Hill, who added that Winslow will remain on paid administrative leave until further notice. “Our swimming and diving program is an important part of our athletic department and we are invested in its future. We will begin a search for a new coach immediately.”

Richard Marschner, Utah's diving coach for the past three seasons, has been appointed interim director of the entire program, while continuing to coach the divers. First-year assistant James Winchester will take over as the interim swim coach. Winchester was the head coach at the University of New Orleans in 2010.
