Tears flowed freely yesterday from coaches, swimmers and parents after Brad Grieshop announced his resignation from both his Yorktown coaching positions. Grieshop has accepted an age group coaching position with the Southeastern Swim Club, and will move on in the near future.Brad made an immediate and lasting impact on both the Yorktown High School and Yorktown Swim Club athletes and programs. As a rookie head coach in 2008-09, Brad inherited a program in turmoil and put it back on the right path. Brad was named the Hoosier Heritage Conference boys Coach of the Year as YHS won the HHC championship that season. Brad went on to capture the boys Coach of the Year award at the IHSAA Sectional a month later, beating out coaching veterans Andy Pederson of Hamilton Southeastern and Ken Stopkotte of Fishers for the honor.
In little over two years at Yorktown, Brad has coached high school All-Americans and club state champions, collegiate swimmers home on breaks, and the smallest beginners fresh out of Swim America lessons.
Brad, we congratulate you on a great step up in your coaching career, and wish you all the best at Southeastern and beyond.
