Harrington Announced as Swimming Interim Head Coach

Sterling, Kan.-The Sterling College Athletic Department has announced that Cord Harrington has been promoted as the Interim Head Coach for Sterling College Swimming.

Vice President of Athletics, Scott Downing, had this to say about Harrington stepping into the role. "Coach Harrington was the first swimmer to graduate from Sterling College two years ago. We are pleased to put him in charge of the program as our Interim Head Coach. Cord has brought energy to the program and is working hard to prepare our swimmers for the season. A coaching opportunity for Coach McMartin surfaced very late in the summer, and we were fortunate to have Coach Harrington already on our staff. The transition is not easy, but Cord has been putting things together like a veteran. We are anxious to watch this team perform this year."

Harrington is no stranger to Sterling College athletics. He has been an assistant on the Swimming coaching staff for the last year and was on the team while earning his degree from Sterling College. Prior to becoming a coach for the swim team, Harrington was a student assistant for the Women's basketball program as well.

Harrington is looking forward to this opportunity to continue his time on staff at Sterling College. "I want to start by thanking Justin Morris and Scott Downing for this opportunity. As a coach, I am looking forward to building on a culture of continued excellence in both men's and women's swimming this year at Sterling College."

A nationwide search will be made to determine who will be the next full-time coach for men's and women's swimming at Sterling College.
