ABOUT HEAD COACH CLARK CAMPBELL

Heading into his 25th season with the Jayhawks, head coach Clark Campbell has created a winning tradition and strong culture within the swimming and diving program, evident by an eight-year stint (2014-22) where Kansas claimed seven second-place finishes at the Big 12 Championships, including four-straight from 2019-22.

The 2023-24 season brought the program its first All-American since the 2020 season as diver Shiyun Lai earned CSCAA Second Team and NCAA Honorable Mention honors in the one and three meter events. Lai shined in her freshman season as she set a school record in the one meter dive with 340.45 points in route to winning Big 12 Newcomer Diver of the Meet and finished 14th in the nation with 14th place finishes in both the one and three meter events at the NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championship.

The Jayhawks wrapped up their season with a 5-2 record and a seventh-place finish at the 2024 Big 12 Championship.

Campbell’s 2022-23 team posted a 4-2 record and finished fifth at the 2023 Big 12 Championship with highlighted performances by Lezli Sisung, earning Big 12 Swimmer of the Week on January 25, 2023 after her performances at Arkansas.

During the 2021-22 season, Campbell coached the Jayhawks to their fourth-consecutive second-place finish at the Big 12 Championships with a final team score of 618 points. Campbell coached the Jayhawks to three school records in 2021-22, set by senior Kate Steward in the 100 and 200 breaststroke. Steward would go on to qualify for the NCAA Championships in the 100 breaststroke, placing 31st overall.

Following the season, Steward earned several prestigious honors, including the Marlene A. Mawson Exemplary Women’s Student-Athlete award, Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year, CoSIDA Academic All-District and the CSCAA Scholar All-America team.

In 2020-21, senior Manon Manning captured the 200-yard backstroke Big 12 title to become the first Jayhawk to win the event. Manning also made her NCAA Swimming Championships debut qualifying in the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke.

At the 2020 Big 12 Swimming & Diving Championship, Kansas set a new program record scoring 831.0 points to earn a second-place finish. Campbell led sophomore Kate Steward to becoming a Big 12 Champion in both the 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke while setting program record in both events. Campbell also helped lead Haley Downey to a second-place finish in the 200-yard breaststroke behind Steward. Campbell also coached Dewi Blose and Jiayu Chen to being named CSCAA All-Americans after the two qualified for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships that were canceled due to Covid-19. The 2020 team was also selected to CSCAA Scholar All-America Team for the spring semester to mark the 36th-consecutive semester the program was recognized.

During the 2018-19 season, Campbell directed the Jayhawks to eight first-place finishes in dual meets and a second-place finish at the 2019 Big 12 Swimming & Diving Championship with a, at the time, program record of 754.50 points. He was named the Women’s Big 12 Swimming Coach of the Meet.

At the 2017 conference championship, Kansas bested its previous program record scoring 683.50 points for its third second-place finish in four years, with the other two coming in 2016 and 2014, where Campbell was named the league’s Swimming Coach of the Year both times.

In 2016, Kansas registered a then-program-best 650.5 points at the meet while finishing second. En route to that performance, Campbell saw 25 Jayhawks turn in top-eight performances and 20 Jayhawks make ‘B’ finals, all contributing to their final point total.

As a result of that 2016 conference meet, Campbell was named Big 12 Coach of the Year for the second time in his tenure. The other came in 2014 when he led KU to its first-ever top-two finish at the Big 12 Championships. This time, Campbell was accompanied by All-American Chelsie Miller, who was honored as the 2016 Big 12 Swimmer of the Year. Campbell coached Miller to three-consecutive NCAA Championship bids, including her top-eight finish in the 400-yard individual medley at this past year’s championship meet. Miller earned All-America honors in all three appearances, receiving First Team accolades for the first time in 2016 and the first Jayhawk to finish in the top-eight at NCAAs since 1993.

During the 2013-14 season Campbell coached Kansas’ first Big 12 Champion, Chelsie Miller, to victory in the 400-yard individual medley. In the same season, the decorated coach also led the Jayhawks to their first top-two finish in 18 years.

Campbell’s laid-back and genuine demeanor helps build close relationships with each of his swimmers outside of the pool. Not only does he care about making his swimmers better in the pool, but also in the classroom. Campbell’s team has been named by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) – the organization he serves as president – as a national Academic All-American Team, earning a team GPA of 3.0 or higher, all 44 semesters he has managed the program.

Attention to detail is what makes Campbell’s practices productive. Every set he organizes for the swimmers has scientific reasoning behind why it works and will ultimately lead to success. His team at KU has placed in the top four at the Big 12 Championships in 20 seasons. At Kansas, Campbell has coached 20 swimmers to NCAA Championship appearances.
