About Coach Jeff Kostoff
Jeff KOSTOFF, a member of the Stanford Athletics Hall of Fame and former Indiana assistant swimming coach, joined the Stanford Cardinals in the summer of 2016. A 1987 Stanford graduate with a bachelor’s degree in history, KOSTOFF was part of a swim team that won four Pac-10 championships from 1984-87, and three NCAA championships from 1985-87. While KOSTOFF was on the team, Stanford went 39-1 in dual meets under head coach Skip Kenney. Before Indiana, KOSTOFF’s coaching experience includes serving as an assistant swimming coach/assistant aquatics director at Maryland, and being the head swimming coach at Manor Country Club, St. John’s College High School, and Rockville High School.
In the 2016-17 season, his first year, KOSTOFF led Stanford’s stellar distance group to several strong postseason performances. Stanford’s trio of True Sweetser, Grant Shoults, and Liam Egan finished one-two-three in the 1,650 free at the Pac-12 Championships, while Shoults capped the season with a program record (4:10.23) at the NCAA Championships in the 500 free. Abrahm DeVine also set a program record in the 400 IM (3:37.73) at the NCAA Championships.
KOSTOFF brought valued coaching and competitive swimming experience to Stanford with an impressive pedigree. At Indiana, KOSTOFF focused on coaching distance and 400 individual medley swimmers while maintaining a reputation for relating well to the student-athletes, owing to his years as an elite swimmer.
