The Utes set three records in first two events
Starting his fifth season as the head coach of the University of Utah swimming and diving team, head coach Greg Winslow is continuing to develop the Ute squad. Five school records and two Mountain West Conference diving records were broken on the women's side in 2009-10, while the men set 10 school records and two MWC diving records.
For the 2009-10 season, the Utah men's swimming and diving team finished with a 3-5 overall record and a 1-4 record in MWC competition. The Utes finished sixth at the MWC Championships, scoring 401 points along with eight athletes being named to the All-MWC team. They ended the season by beating rival BYU, which ended a five-year losing streak against the Cougars. As for the Ute women, they finished their campaign with a 7-7 overall record and a 4-4 record in the MWC competition. At the MWC Championships, the women finished fifth with 377 points and six athletes were selected to the All-MWC team.
The Utah women's team ended the 2008-09 season 11-2-1 and finished fourth at the 2009 MWC Championships after scoring 469 points. The Ute men's team improved throughout the season, defeating Air Force and narrowly falling to BYU and Wyoming, before finishing sixth at the 2009 MWC Championships, totaling 326 points. Winslow coached the third women's All-American in Utah history and the Utes broke 10 school records and five MWC records on the women's side and four men's school records
In 2007-08, his first season at Utah, Winslow led the Utah women's squad to third place at the 2008 MWC Championships and it was one of the first signs that this young team will be a contender for years to come. The Ute women ended their regular season with a 6-5 overall record and were 5-3 in conference. A young Utes' men's team showed flashes of its potential with a sixth-place finish at the 2008 MWC Championships (353.5 points).
Winslow came to Utah after four years as an assistant at Arizona State University. He coached 12 All-Americans during his tenure, which began in 2003. Six of his swimmers qualified for the 2004 U.S. Olympic trials, while other swimmers represented Great Britain and Hungary in the 2004 Olympics. Winslow helped lead the 2005 women's squad to a 12th place finish at the NCAA Championships, while the men's squad finished in 14th in 2006.
In August 2005, Winslow became the head coach of the Sun Devil Aquatics swim club, overseeing a staff of 12 coaches. The Sun Devils placed third at the 2007 USA Swimming National Championships. He also coached the team to the 2006 Western Sectional Championship and won the 2006 and 2007 Junior National Women's Championship. Five swimmers qualified for the Olympic trials, including five national and eight junior national qualifiers. Winslow's athletes broke 22 Arizona state records, while his girls team set national 13-14 age group records in the 200 free relay and the 400 long and short course relays. Sun Devil Aquatics was named USA Swimming's No. 1 Silver Medal Club in 2007.
During his time with the Sun Devils, Winslow qualified four athletes for the US National Junior team. That is the most swimmers one coach has ever qualified at the USA swimming level in history.
Winslow served as the CEO and head coach at Air Force Academy Falfins swim club from 1999-2003. While with the Falfins, Winslow increased the number of swimmers in the program from 53 to 140, added five assistant coaches and started programs at two new facilities. He developed seven national qualifiers and his athletes set 28 Colorado state records. Winslow was named the 2001 Colorado Coach of the Year. He served as the USA Swimming Colorado coaches representative from 2002-03 and worked as an assistant coach at Air Force from 2001-03.
Winslow began his coaching career with the Valley Swim Team in Colorado Springs, Colo., in 1996. He led Valley to its first city championship in 1997 and the seasonal state championship in 1998. Valley won the State Spirit award both years and Winslow was named the 1997 Colorado Seasonal Coach of the Year.
His first collegiate coaching job was as an assistant at Saint Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minn., from 1998-99, where he helped guide the Huskies to their highest NCAA Division II finish in school history.
Winslow swam for the University of North Dakota for four years, where he earned All-America status in 1996. He played a key role in leading the men's team to four conference titles, serving as team captain in his final two years.
Winslow earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from North Dakota in 1998. He was married in August 2002 to his wife Jessica and the couple's first child, son Noah, was born in August 2008.
