He joined the staff in September of 2011, returning to his alma mater just one year after earning his degree, and was promoted to the position of top assistant in late May of 2013. He now takes the permanent reins of the program he once starred for.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is with great excitement that I accept the position of head men&#8217;s swim coach at UCSD,&#8221; said Perdew. &#8220;I want to thank (Director of Athletics) <a class=\"biolink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ucsdtritons.com\/ViewArticle.dbml?&amp;ATCLID=178954&amp;DB_OEM_ID=5800\">Earl Edwards<\/a>, <a class=\"biolink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ucsdtritons.com\/ViewArticle.dbml?&amp;ATCLID=1097345&amp;DB_OEM_ID=5800\">Ken Grosse<\/a>, and the entire administration, for the confidence they have in me to lead this program. I am looking forward to continuing to push it to new heights while working with the outstanding student-athletes we have at UCSD.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dan Perdew is one of the up-and-coming young swimming coaches in the country, and we are excited to elevate him to a permanent position as our head men&#8217;s swimming and diving coach,&#8221; added senior associate athletics director Ken Grosse. &#8220;As a UC San Diego graduate, he has a unique passion for the program and ability to connect with the UCSD student-athlete.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Perdew and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ucsdtritons.com\/ViewArticle.dbml?&amp;DB_OEM_ID=5800&amp;ATCLID=205251007\">Corrie Falcon<\/a>, who completed her fourth season in charge of the Triton women in March, guide both the UCSD men and women in a combined training atmosphere at the Canyonview Aquatic Center in La Jolla. In the 2014-15 campaign, the Tritons extended their runs of consecutive Pacific Collegiate Swimming &amp; Diving Conference titles to seven in a row on both the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s sides. A total of 20 student-athletes qualified to make the trip to Indianapolis, Ind., for the 2015 NCAA Division II Swimming &amp; Diving Championships. Twelve garnered All-America distinction with top-eight finishes, while six others picked up All-America honorable mention. Six school records were broken a total of nine times.<\/p>\n<p>Perdew swam for the Tritons for four outstanding seasons from 2006-10. As a team captain, he was a five-time NCAA champion, sweeping the 50 and 100 free events as a sophomore in 2008 and again as a senior in 2010, around a title in the 100 free in 2009. He has the most national crowns by a Triton male during the NCAA Division II era since 2001, and was a three-time UCSD Athlete of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>Perdew still holds individual school records in the 50 (19.69) and 100 (43.30), and is a part of existing program standards in the 200 free relay (1:20.02) and 400 free relay (2:58.49) as the anchor leg of both. He earned a pair of bachelor&#8217;s degrees from UCSD in 2010, in management science and psychology.<\/p>\n<p><i>The above article is a press release submitted to Swimming World.
