She had served as the interim head coach for the 2022-23 season.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the fourth year that Woods has been part of the Billikens. She spent two as a graduate assistant before being elevated to full assistant coach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like to thank Director of Athletics Chris May, Deputy Director of Athletics Dr. Janet Oberle, Associate Director of Athletics for Administration Annie Reis, and SLU President Dr. Fred Pestello for this amazing opportunity to lead the Billiken swimming and diving program,\u201d Woods said <a href=\"https:\/\/slubillikens.com\/news\/2023\/6\/5\/mary-woods-named-swimming-diving-head-coach.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a school press release<\/a>. \u201cI am so grateful for my time spent at SLU thus far, and I am beyond excited and honored to continue with this team as head coach. I truly believe in the SLU experience and what we can provide our student-athletes from an educational, competition and community-building standpoint. SLU is a very special place to be, and I am so proud to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe picked up a lot of momentum over the past season, and I am eager to continue building upon that and further develop our program,\u201d Woods said. \u201cWe have a great group of returners and incoming swimmers and divers, and I look forward to discovering what we can accomplish together in this new chapter.
