Ted Knapp<\/strong> has stepped down as the Goldman Family Director of Men\u2019s Swimming, as announced by Jaquish and Kenninger Director of Athletics Bernard Muir<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to thank Ted for his 39 years of service to our men\u2019s swimming and diving program as a student-athlete, assistant coach, associate head coach and most recently as our Goldman Family Director of Men\u2019s Swimming for the past seven seasons,\u201d said Muir. \u201cSince his first season as a member of the coaching staff in 1984, Ted has earned a reputation for developing champions not just in the pool, but in life, and has overseen Stanford\u2019s status as one of the highest-performing programs in the nation academically.\u201d<\/p>\n

Knapp, a former All-American and 1981 graduate of Stanford with a degree in civil engineering, has spent the past 35 years on the Cardinal coaching staff, beginning in 1984 when he was appointed volunteer assistant coach. During his tenure as a coach, 28 Stanford swimmers combined for 70 individual national championships, and the program won seven team championships (1985, 1986, 1987, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1998) and 33 conference championships, most recently back-to-back titles in 2016 and 2017.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had the extreme pleasure of coaching at Stanford for 35 years,\u201d said Knapp. \u201cDuring that time, I\u2019ve been surrounded by so much great support within the department and the university. That support, combined with the amazing quality of student-athletes I\u2019ve had the pleasure of coaching, has made this experience a true honor. I especially want to thank my wife, Laurie, who has been through every moment of this journey with me. I couldn\u2019t have had a better partner. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“I also want to thank Skip Kenney for the incredible opportunities and successes he allowed me to share with him over the many years we spent together on the pool deck. I am confident that my replacement will possess the experience, passion and focus to successfully lead this program and plan to assist with the transition however I can.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As Goldman Family Director of Men\u2019s Swimming, Knapp oversaw ten school records, most recently Jack Levant\u2019s<\/strong> 200-yard freestyle (1:32.61) at the 2018 Texas Hall of Fame Swimming Invitational. This past season, Abrahm DeVine<\/strong><\/a> became the first Stanford swimmer since Tom Wilkens<\/strong> (1997-98) to capture consecutive 400-yard individual medley titles. Five members of this year\u2019s squad (DeVine, Grant Shoults<\/strong>, True Sweetser<\/strong>, LeVant and Daniel Roy<\/strong>) were named to Team USA<\/a> for the 2018-19 season, while all 20 student-athletes who were eligible for Pac-12 All-Academic honors earned the recognition.<\/p>\n

Stanford will immediately begin the process of identifying Knapp\u2019s replacement.<\/p>\n
