Stanford Hires Olympic Medalist Annie Lazor as Associate Head Coach<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stanford on Monday announced the hiring of Olympic medalist Annie Lazor<\/strong> as an associate head coach for the women\u2019s swimming and diving team.<\/p>\n

Lazor spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach<\/a> at the University of Florida, where she worked primarily with the women\u2019s team. She guided 17 swimmers who were named All-Americans a combined 65 times and won 18 SEC Championships. In her first year, the Florida women finished third at NCAAs and won their second consecutive SEC title.<\/p>\n

Lazor will coach this summer at the 2025 World University Games before joining new coach<\/a> Chris Lindauer\u2019s<\/strong> staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m incredibly honored and grateful to join the Stanford family and this incredible group of women,\u201d Lazor said in a university press release<\/a>. \u201cI want to extend my sincere thanks to Chris, Richard Zhu, and the Stanford administration for their trust and support. It\u2019s an immense privilege to be a part of one of the most storied and successful programs in NCAA history and I\u2019m excited to contribute to its continued tradition of excellence. Go Card!\u201d<\/p>\n

Lazor swam at Ohio State and Auburn before spending much of her post-grad career training at Indiana University. The Detroit native won bronze in the women\u2019s 200 breaststroke at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. She\u2019s also a three-time gold medalist at the Pan American Games and was the World Short-Course Champion in the 200 breast in 2018, one of her seven career international medals.<\/p>\n

Lazor was a four-time All-American at Auburn. She qualified for event finals at the U.S. Olympic Trials on five occasions, swam at the 2022 World Championships in long-course and was an eight-time member of the national team, the last in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnnie\u2019s passion and love for our sport is energizing and will immediately impact our student-athletes,\u201d Lindauer said. \u201cShe brings an elite level of experience and perspective that will help elevate our program, and her adaptability and relatability will allow her to connect with our student-athletes to support them as they pursue elite goals in and out of the pool.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
