“Coley Stickels has distinguished himself as one of the finest sprint coaches, not only in the United States, but the world,\u201d Looze remarked. \u201cWhat makes him such a great fit for Indiana are his values. Coley believes in team first and prioritizing the happiness of our student-athletes. Additionally, he is one of the most innovative minds in the sport of swimming, which falls in line with the great accomplishments of Doc Councilman<\/strong>.\u00a0We look forward to him joining our staff\u00a0July 1<\/span>\u00a0in our pursuit of the national title and the Olympic podium.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honor to join the Indiana University swimming program and Hoosier tradition of excellence,\u201d Stickels said. \u201cI am excited to bring my passion and creativity to Indiana in the pursuit of a national championship. I am confident that with the fantastic resources the university has to offer, along with the tremendous staff, we will continue to rise to the top and see great success.\u201d<\/p>\n
