Rowland Named to Prestigious CSCAA 100 Greatest Coaches List
12/7/2021 2:42:00 PM | Swimming and Diving
There were just over 500 coaches nominated for the CSCAA honor. A committee of fifty-eight voters selected from 263 finalists, each focusing on a particular sport (swimming or diving) and division. A steering committee then vetted and finalized the selections.
The 100 honorees from the CSCAA are tied together by a record of exceptional success vis-à-vis their peers. Collectively, these coaches account for 346 NCAA and NAIA team titles, plus an additional 260 individual diving titles.
Rowland is the one and only head coach in program history after he started the Lancer swim and water polo programs in 1999-2000. Both Rowland's men's and women's swim and dive teams have combined for nine NAIA National Championships and seven conference titles (all in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference).
Rowland has secured a number of Coach of the Year honors in his career, most recently being named the CSCAA National Invitational Championship Men's Coach of the Meet in 2018-19. He earned four more on the national level in the NAIA (2001, 2006, 2008, 2011) and five in the RMAC (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018).
The Lancers have won a total of 111 individual national championships (67 men, 44 women) and 20 relay titles (14 men, six women) under Rowland. Eighty-five different men and 80 different women have earned All-American honors in the CBU program, as well.
