Column | Penn State's Hollie Bonewit-Cron hire proves beneficial in Year 1

The Penn State swimming and diving program faced a rollercoaster of results during its 2024-25 season, which finished with the Big Ten Championships, where both the men’s and women's teams fell short of a top-nine finish.

However, there’s a silver lining. First-year head coach Hollie Bonewit-Cron replaced interim coaches Dan Carrington and Erin Mattyus, who stepped in after Tim Murphy's long tenure at the helm.

In her first full season, Bonewit-Cron led the men's team to an impressive 5-4 regular-season record, while the women’s team achieved a notable 4-5 finish.

These outcomes reflect different stages in each squad’s development.
