Virginia swimming & diving head coach Todd DeSorbo<\/strong>, the CSCAA Women\u2019s Coach of the Year, has signed a five-year contract extension through the 2026-2027 season, director of athletics Carla Williams announced on Thursday (April 15).<\/p>\n

\u201cTodd has done an amazing job of creating a culture of excellence in and out of the pool and we are very excited about the future of UVA swimming and diving under his leadership,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n

In his fourth year at the helm of the program, DeSorbo guided the women\u2019s team to its first national championship<\/a> and the first national title for an ACC team<\/a> in the sport in NCAA history. Virginia won six national titles in individual and relay events at the NCAA Championships, the most ever by an ACC program. The Cavaliers had 12 athletes named to CSCAA All-America Teams (10 first team and two second team). Virginia also won its third women\u2019s ACC Championship in four years, and league-record 17th overall.<\/p>\n

DeSorbo, a two-time ACC Women\u2019s Coach of the Year, has seen increased success each year for the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams. In 2021, he led the men\u2019s team to a ninth-place finish at the NCAA Championships, the programs best since eighth in 2011. UVA picked up 28 All-America honors during the meet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m grateful to UVA, the athletic department, President (Jim) Ryan<\/strong>, Carla Williams<\/strong> and Dirk Katstra<\/strong> for supporting my staff and I the last few years and having confidence in our ability to continue to lead and advance this program,\u201d Todd DeSorbo said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t be happier here in Charlottesville and with UVA. This position has brought significant challenges over the last four years but brought much more enjoyment. I wouldn\u2019t trade this opportunity for anything, I love this team, each athlete and our staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Virginia has set 16 women\u2019s school records and 14 men\u2019s school records in DeSorbo\u2019s four years. The Cavaliers have amassed 179 All-American swims, 37 ACC individual and relay wins and a .750 dual meet winning percentage under Todd DeSorbo\u2019s tutelage.<\/p>\n

The Virginia women have won three ACC team titles, two ACC Swimmer of the Year Awards and two ACC Freshman of the Year honors. UVA\u2019s men have recorded their best finishes at the ACC Championship in seven years and NCAA Championship in 10 years. In total, UVA has 24 individual and 13 relay ACC titles along with five NCAA individual titles and the first NCAA relay champion in school history during the last four seasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy family is loving Charlottesville, and we\u2019ve quickly planted deep roots in the community,\u201d Todd DeSorbo said. \u201cMy wife and children are our biggest fans! I couldn\u2019t be prouder to be entrusted with the keys to continue to drive this program, but I\u2019m even more proud of what these student-athletes have accomplished, as they are the true driving force behind any success we\u2019ve had. I love each of them, and I\u2019m excited for what the future holds for this program, as I can see that more success is imminent.\u201d<\/p>\n
