Washington State Friday announced the hiring of Kate Moore<\/strong> as an assistant coach for its swimming and diving team.<\/p>\n

Moore spent 10 seasons coaching at her alma mater, East Carolina. She served as the associate head coach for three seasons, the head assistant coach for two seasons and five seasons as an assistant coach. The Pirates dropped their swimming programs this spring<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moore led East Carolina to four American Athletic Conference team titles, with 41 individual AAC titles and 21 relays championships. Nine Pirates qualified for the NCAA Championships under her watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am extremely honored to be joining the Cougar Family,\u201d Moore said in a team statement<\/a>. \u201cAfter learning more about Matt and his ambitions for the program, I couldn’t be more excited to get started in Pullman. I would like to thank Coach (Matt) Leach, Anne McCoy, Bryan Blair<\/strong> as well as the team and staff for welcoming my family to Washington State. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue my coaching career and am looking forward to what the future will bring as well as being a part of the Cougar Family!”<\/p>\n

Moore was a four-time all-conference performer at East Carolina, leaving school with top-10 times in school history in the 200 and 400 individual medley and 100 and 200 butterfly. She received the ECU Coaches Award and the team\u2019s Most Outstanding Swimmer award. A native of Pottstown, Pa., Moore received her bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degree from ECU.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so excited to welcome another Cougar to this quickly growing family, Kate Moore!,\u201d head coach Matt Leach<\/strong> said. \u201cKate brings a plethora of knowledge and experience, is dedicated to our sport, to her swimmers and to learning and growing in this ever changing environment. Kate\u2019s work ethic while at ECU showed how much she cares for her student-athletes and did every job under the sun to help her team grow. Along with her coaching experience and educational background, her experience as a former student-athlete is going to help our student-athletes develop, advance and contribute to our family-first attitude, academics-second mentality and our competition atmosphere, third. I can\u2019t wait to welcome Kate and her husband, Jake to Pullman and most importantly, our Cougar Family.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
