Erickson steps down as St. Catherine swimming & diving coach

St. Catherine University athletic Director, Eric Stacey, announced the resignation of head swimming and diving coach, Shana Erickson.? Shana had been with the program for the last seven years and served as head coach for the last two seasons.
?
?We are sad to see Shana leave,? said athletic director, Eric Stacey.? ?Her contributions to this program have been immeasurable over the last seven years.? Her dedication and drive have been vital to the increased competitiveness of the team during her tenure.? As her role increased, so did the demands on her time, and the time away from her family.???
?
Erickson has been instrumental in the growth of the Wildcat swimming and diving program in recent history.? She began working with the team in the 2005-2006 season as an assistant coach. Over time her role continued to grow as she became the recruiting coordinator and then the head coach prior to the 2010-2011 season.?
?
During her first season as head coach, the Wildcats had their best finish in the last 25 years. The team finished 5^th in the MIAC and set 12 school records and posted three NCAA provisional qualifying marks. Erickson was named MIAC Coach of the Year following that season.
?
In regards to her departure, Erickson said "I'm proud of the way our team has grown throughout the past seven seasons and believe that I am leaving the program in a good position to move forward for continued success. Thank you to Eric Stacey and Nicole Hempler for giving me the opportunity for tremendous professional growth, first as an assistant coach, and then as head coach at St. Kate's. I wish all of our current and newest student-athletes the best of luck next season!"
?
A search for Erickson?s successor will begin immediately.
