Yuri Suguiyama\u00a0<\/strong>will become the next head swimming coach at the University of Wisconsin. He replaces\u00a0Whitney Hite<\/strong>, who departed at the conclusion of the NCAA championships<\/a>\u00a0after seven years with the program. Suguiyama confirmed to\u00a0Swimming World<\/em>\u00a0Tuesday afternoon that he will be headed to Madison. The University confirmed the hire with a press release a few hours later.<\/p>\n

Suguiyama has been the assistant coach for the Cal men’s program under Dave Durden\u00a0<\/strong>since the fall of 2012, and he was elevated to associate head coach in 2016. He has been primarily responsible for coaching mid-distance and distance-based athletes. The most notable swimmer he has coached, however, came before his Cal days. He coached\u00a0Katie Ledecky\u00a0<\/strong>to Olympic gold in the 800 free as a 15-year-old during his days with the Nation’s Capital Swim Club.<\/p>\n

Suguiyama has been a strong candidate for head coaching openings in recent years, and he was believed to be a finalist for multiple high-profile openings last season. Now, after six seasons with the Golden Bears, he’s making the leap to running his own program.<\/p>\n

The Badger men did not score at the NCAA championships last season, while the team’s women finished 17th with 78 points. Sophomore\u00a0Beata Nelson\u00a0<\/strong>was Wisconsin’s ace, as she finished second in the 100 back, third in the 200 back and sixth in the 200 IM.<\/p>\n

Read a full press release from Wisconsin below:<\/p>\n

\n

The Wisconsin swimming and diving program is under new leadership.<\/p>\n

Having established himself as one of college swimming\u2019s top young coaches during a decorated run as an assistant, Yuri Suguiyama was tabbed\u00a0Tuesday<\/span>\u00a0to become the Badgers\u2019 new head coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring Yuri to Madison,\u201d UW Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez<\/strong> said. \u201cHis track record as a coach speaks for itself, but he will also bring great energy to our program. His passion for the sport and the athletes he\u2019s coaching will only make us better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suguiyama, 35, comes to Madison after spending six years as associate head coach of the men\u2019s program at Cal, where he helped the Golden Bears to first- or second-place NCAA finishes in each of his seasons in Berkeley. That run included Cal\u2019s national title in 2014, a season in which Suguiyama was named Assistant Coach of the Year by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am both excited and humbled to join the University of Wisconsin as the head coach of the men\u2019s and women\u2019s swimming and diving programs,\u201d Suguiyama said. \u201cIt has been a dream of mine to lead a program, and there\u2019s no better place to do so than at a school that has so much to offer, like Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank Coach Alvarez and senior associate athletic director Marija Pientka<\/strong> for this opportunity. I\u2019m looking forward to building upon the program\u2019s tradition by getting to know our current team, putting together an awesome staff and recruiting student-athletes of high character who are good fits for Wisconsin both academically and athletically. I can\u2019t wait to get started.\u201d<\/p>\n

Including the 2018 team title, Suguiyama was part of three Pac-12 Conference championships at Cal and, at one point, helped the Bears put together a run of 28 consecutive dual meet wins.<\/p>\n

In addition to his work with the Bears, Suguiyama has built an impressive international coaching resume. He was named special assistant to the national team director for Team USA at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and also served as an assistant coach for the American squads at the 2014 Pan Pacific Championships and 2015 World University Games.<\/p>\n

Following his Olympic assignment, Suguiyama served as men\u2019s head coach for Team USA at the 2016 FINA Short Course World Championships.<\/p>\n

Suguiyama\u2019s time at Cal was preceded by a six-year run as coach of Nation\u2019s Capital Swim Club in Washington, D.C., where he mentored then 15-year-old Olympic champion Katie Ledecky, who claimed gold in the 800-meter freestyle at the 2012 Olympics in London. She went on to win four more golds at the 2016 Games in Rio.<\/p>\n

Himself a standout swimmer for Nation\u2019s Capital Swim Club, Suguiyama went on to compete collegiately at North Carolina, where he finished as the Tar Heels\u2019 record-holder in the 1000 and 1650-yard freestyle. He earned first-team All-America honors as a senior, in addition to being a three-year All-ACC selection.<\/p>\n

Suguiyama graduated from North Carolina in 2004 with degrees in political science and economics.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
