Johns Hopkins Director of Athletics Tom Calder announced today the appointment of Scott Armstrong, A&S '03, as the head men's and women's swimming coach. Armstrong replaces George Kennedy, who announced his retirement in February after 31 seasons with the Blue Jays. He becomes just the fourth head coach of the Hopkins swimming program since the 1968-69 season.

"We have been fortunate to have George Kennedy, one of the all-time great Division III Men's and Women's Swimming Coaches, guiding our program for more than 30 years," noted Calder. "In Scott Armstrong, we have not only one of George's most accomplished former swimmers, but also one of the rising stars in the coaching community. His knowledge of Johns Hopkins and experience as a highly-successful assistant coach at Stanford University will serve him well as he leads our men's and women's swimming programs in pursuit of excellence in the classroom, the community and the pool."
