WASHINGTON - American University Men's and Women's Swimming & Diving Head Coach Mark Davin will depart AU at the end of April, announced Director of Athletics and Recreation Dr. Billy Walker.

"We thank Mark for his long time commitment and many contributions to our Men's and Women's Swimming & Diving programs" said Walker. "Mark has led American University Swimming and Diving to many successes. We certainly wish him well in his future endeavors."

Since his arrival in 1995, Davin's teams had a combined 115 individual and relay conference champions, while 331 student-athletes were selected to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll. The Eagles have achieved 52 straight semesters of both the men's and women's teams being chosen as a Scholar All-America Team from the College Swimming Coaches Athletic Association (CSCAA). 

Davin coached two All-Americans, two Olympians, 30 Academic All-Americans and 10 U.S. Olympic Trials qualifiers in his tenure. He was named CAA Coach of the Year in 2000 and 2001, and earned Patriot League Coach of the Year honors in 2002. 

A national search for a new head coach will begin immediately.
