Naumann named swimming & diving head coach

Greg Naumann photoGreg Naumann ‘02 MS ‘06, former Leatherneck swimmer and student assistant coach, has been hired as the head coach of the Fighting Leatherneck swimming and diving program.

“Greg was able to experience great success here at Western on a student-athlete level and I am confident he will carry on the tradition of hard work and dedication to the student athletes today,” said Tim Van Alstine, director of intercollegiate athletics. “His familiarity with the Macomb area and Western alumni will allow him to continue to strengthen the program.”

Naumann returns to the Macomb area after serving as the assistant coach at Truman State.

A four-year letterwinner at Western (1998-2002), Naumann was a part of the 1998-1999 conference championship team under then-head coach Jerry Champer. Naumann joined Champer for the 2002-2003 season as a student assistant coach and also served as the head coach for the McDonough County YMCA.

“I have always been really interested in coming back to Western,” Naumann explained. “When coach Champer was here he had a really strong program. As the conference competition continued to grow and evolve, the men’s team has slipped out of the top place, while the women’s team has remained toward the top. I want to be instrumental in bringing back the strength of the men’s program.”
