Head Coach
Paul DeAngelo
On April 15, 2008, Paul DeAngelo was promoted from assistant coach to head coach.
He replaces Tomm Evans, who announced his retirement in March after a 17-year
tenure on the Royal coaching staff, including the last 11 as head coach. Evans led the Scranton women’s program to 11
straight winning seasons and an overall record of 107-26 (.805), including a
Middle Atlantic Conference title in 2004 and to the first Landmark Conference
Swimming and Diving championship this past season. His record with the men’s program was 65-46
(.586).
DeAngelo,
a graduate of the Scranton
Preparatory School and
The University of Scranton, served as Evans’ assistant for 11 seasons. This duo worked with Sarah Gazdalski, a 1999
all-American and 11-time Middle Atlantic Conference individual champion, and 14
other swimmers who have gone on to win 32 Middle Atlantic and Landmark
Conference individual titles. This past
season, three of their swimmers earned major awards at the Landmark Conference
championships: junior Erin O’Connor was
named the conference’s female swimmer of the year, junior Joseph Veselovsky was
selected the co-recipient of the male swimmer of the year, and freshman Allison
Sampson was voted the female rookie of the year. For
their efforts, Evans and DeAngelo were also named the conference’s coaching
staff of the year.
DeAngelo,
who has competed in swimming on the district, state and national level, resides
nearby with his wife Anna, son Paul and daughter Nicole. He is a payroll supervisor and human resource
manager for Linde Corporation, a local utility contractor. He also coaches baseball in the off-season for
the last 10 years, taking an all-star team to the state championships in 2007.
