As part of our new partnership with the College Swim Coaches Association of America (CSCAA), we are recognizing two head coaches each month whose teams have excelled over the previous four weeks as SwimOutlet.com CSCAA Coach of the Month.

Fans can vote at the beginning of each month on social media with 50% of the selection process coming from fans.

This month’s winners were Kami Gardner of Washington & Lee on the women’s side and Ray Looze of Indiana on the men’s side.

Gardner led her team to first-place finishes at both the Derby City Invitational in Louisville, defeating five other teams while also dominating the ODAC Relays (Old Dominion Athletic Conference), placing first among nine teams. They also started their dual meet season with a win over Randolph Macon.

Indiana men’s coach Ray Looze led his Hoosiers to a 6-0 start to the season in October including wins over Texas, Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee – all top 20-ranked teams.
