RALEIGH – The NC State swimming and diving program has promoted Stefani Weigle to assistant coach, as announced by head coach Braden Holloway on Tuesday.
Weigle earned her title as assistant coach after spending the last season as a volunteer assistant for the team.
"We are super excited to promote Stef to full-time assistant coach," said Holloway. "Within the first month of her arrival at NC State, I knew she was going to be a great fit for our student-athletes, our staff and our program's culture. Her hard work, dedication to our student-athletes' welfare and eagerness to learn did not go unnoticed. Stef has impressed me with her character, willingness to go the extra mile and her desire to make a positive impact on our program's development, growth and vision. Our student-athletes have connected with her more and more each day, and she is the perfect fit to who we are as a program and as a family."
Since joining NC State's staff ahead of the 2021-22 season, Weigle has played an important role in all aspects of the Wolfpack swimming and diving programs. This past year, the Pack men won the 2022 ACC Championships team title, and both teams went on to tie program-best finishes at the NCAA Championships. The men secured a team trophy and podium spot with their fourth-place finish at the meet, and the women placed fifth in the nation, marking the top combined program finishes in the nation.
"I am very excited to be joining this team," said Weigle. "It is awe-inspiring to be surrounded by these highly-motivated student-athletes. They motivate me to work harder every single day, and I know that we can get this done together. There is absolutely nowhere else I would rather be, and I am blessed to have found my home with NC State swimming and diving."
Weigle had a hand in coaching NC State to a total of 67 All-America citations this past season, and she was a member of the staff that coached the Wolfpack to the 100-yard backstroke national title sweeps at the 2022 NCAA Championships. In addition to the Pack's team win on the men's side at the ACC Championships, Weigle was a part of 11 event titles at the conference meet this past season.
Prior to her time in Raleigh, Weigle spent time as an assistant coach at Grove City College and Washington & Jefferson College. A 2017 Grove City graduate, Weigle helped her alma mater win the Presidents' Athletic Conference titles in men's and women's swimming and diving during the spring of 2020.
As a student-athlete, she was a part of four-straight conference titles with Grove City from 2014 to 2017. She co-captained the 2016-17 squad and earned three total letters while on the team.
Weigle earned a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and also completed her Master's degree in Exercise Science and Health Promotion.
