Bishop O'Connell High School has named Kathryn Scott head coach for the Knights' swim and dive team.
Coach Scott graduated from Marymount University, where she competed on the university swim team for four years. Originally from New Jersey, where she swam for the Jersey Wahoos through their senior national level. Her specialty was distance freestyle and the 400IM.
She has recently become involved in open water swimming, winning the 12.5 mile swim around Key West, Fla. in 2012 and 2013, placing second in the first-ever swim around Cape May, N.J. (15.1 miles), and finishing second in the Tampa Bay Marathon swim (24 miles).
"We are excited to have Katie Scott lead the swim and dive program," said Athletic Director Joe Wootten. "She has collegiate experience as both an athlete and as a coach. We are confident she will lead our program to great heights."
