HAMILTON, N.Y. - Colgate University head men's and women's swim coach, Bill Roberts, has appointed Erin Scott '85 as an assistant coach beginning in the 2002-03 academic year.

Scott returns to her alma mater where she was one of the greatest distance swimmers in school history.  She still ranks on 11 of Colgate's Top 10 lists as of 2002.  Her last standing record, as a part of the 400 free relay team in 1985, was recently broken by the current Raider 400 relay team at the Patriot League Championships.

"I cannot wait for Erin to get going with Colgate University," Roberts said.  "Her experiences as a student-athlete at Colgate, coupled with her bright personality will make her an excellent coach."

Scott previously coached as an assistant at Rutgers.   She will also contribute to the Colgate Swim Camp which is held in June.
