Drew Livingston Hired as LSU\u2019s New Diving Coach<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drew Livingston<\/strong> on Tuesday was hired as the diving coach at LSU, joining the staff of head swimming coach Rick Bishop.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Livingston spent the last four seasons as the head diving coach<\/a> at the University of Virginia, contributing to the Cavaliers back-to-back NCAA Women\u2019s titles. Livingston qualified eight divers for NCAAs as part of that effort and mentored divers that re-set all three school records.<\/p>\n

Livingston returns to Baton Rouge, where he spent two seasons as a graduate assistant under former coach Doug Shaffer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I want to thank Rick Bishop and the administration for this opportunity to return to Baton Rouge and lead the LSU Diving program,\u201d Livingston said in a team statement<\/a>. \u201cRick has an exciting vision for the future of LSU Swimming and Diving, and I can’t wait to join Rick and the rest of the coaching staff. Doug Shaffer has built LSU Diving into a national powerhouse. I am honored to continue building on this legacy and provide the best environment possible for our student-athletes to develop in and out of the pool. Geaux Tigers!”<\/p>\n

Livingston was a standout diver at the University of Texas. A two-time NCAA champion on one-meter springboard and the 2012 NCAA Diver of the Year, he set the NCAA record on platform in 2009. He won a pair of USA Diving Nationals Champions and made the national team on nine occasions.<\/p>\n

He began his coaching career in Austin as a volunteer assistant coach in 2013-14, working with 2014 NCAA Diver of the Meet Michael Hixon<\/strong> with coach Matt Scoggin.<\/strong> He then went to LSU for two years as a grad assistant, helping the team set three program records and lead the SEC Championships in diving points in 2015. Livingston would later earn his MBA from LSU in 2019.<\/p>\n

Livingston got his first head job at Princeton<\/a>, in 2018 sending the Tigers\u2019 first male divers to NCAAs since 1991.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to have Drew return to LSU,\u201d Bishop said. \u201cOver the past several years, Drew has developed great divers at Princeton and as part of a National Championship Team with UVA. He brings great technical and teaching skill that will help carry on the legacy of success that Doug Shaffer established. Drew will be a great partner as we continue to develop the LSU Men\u2019s & Women\u2019s Swimming and Diving programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Livingston replaces Shaffer, who retired this spring after 20 seasons with the Tigers<\/a> and 27 as a collegiate coach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
