Seton Hall men’s and women’s swimming and diving coach Ron Farina has stepped down from his position after 17 years with the university, Athletic Director Pat Lyons announced on Saturday.
Farina just recently led the men’s swimming and diving team to its first Big East championship in program history last month. Farina’s squad took home the championship in dominant fashion, beating the runner-up Georgetown by nearly 150 points.
Lyons thanked Farina for his 17 years of service to the program in his statement on Saturday.
“He has helped raise the program’s bar for success by molding our student-athletes into very strong competitors in the Big East Conference, and, with the teams’ historic performances in the pool this season, he has set our student-athletes up to be successful for years to come,” Lyons said.
