Nick&#8217;s contagious enthusiasm for the position and his vision for maintaining the upward trajectory of the program clearly made him stand out as the top candidate. Coach Stone&#8217;s familiarity with swimming in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association and his success at Williams College and Buffalo State have prepared him well to have a successful career at Albion College. I look forward to watching our swimmers and divers flourish under his guidance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In just three seasons at Buffalo State, Stone helped the Bengals set 30 school records as both the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s teams moved up in the State University of New York Athletic Conference championship standings.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to helping the team rise in the conference, Stone developed Buffalo State into a presence at the NCAA Division III Championship as he coached a six-time All-America performer.<\/p>\n<p>Stone created a culture for team and individual success in both academics and athletics at Buffalo State, and the women&#8217;s squad was recognized by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America as a Scholar All-America team for three consecutive semesters, while the men&#8217;s squad achieved the distinction twice.<\/p>\n<p>Stone broke into the coaching ranks as the assistant for the women&#8217;s team at Ithaca (N.Y.) College in 2010 before coaching the men&#8217;s squad for the 2011-2012 season. He moved to positions as the assistant coach at Williams and head coach of Purple Valley Aquatics, a club program in Williamstown, Mass., in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>During his tenure at Williams, the Ephs boasted 43 national qualifiers. The men&#8217;s team captured the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) championship in all three seasons and finished as high as third at the NCAA Championship.\u00a0On the women&#8217;s side, Williams won consecutive NESCAC titles and also placed third nationally.<\/p>\n<p>Stone has a master&#8217;s degree in sport psychology from Ithaca and a bachelor&#8217;s in psychology from Hope College, where he was a three-year swimmer and NCAA qualifier in the 200 free and 800 free relay.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am honored to take over a program that is rising in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association and building a presence at the NCAA Championships,&#8221; Stone said. &#8220;I am looking forward to building the national presence, with a goal of moving the men&#8217;s team among the top 10 and qualifying women for individual and relay swims, as well as looking forward to getting into my home conference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>The above press release was posted by Swimming World in conjunction with Albion College Athletics.
