Jeff Kostoff, a member of the Stanford Athletics Hall of Fame and former Indiana assistant swimming coach, was hired in the summer of 2016 to join the Cardinal as a men’s assistant swimming coach.

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.

Kostoff’s individual swimming accomplishments are significant. At Stanford, he won three individual Pac-10 titles (1987 500-yard freestyle, 1987 1,650-yard freestyle and 1984 400-yard individual medley), while also winning five individual NCAA titles (1,650 free in 1984, 1986 and 1987, and 400 IM in 1985 and 1987).

Kostoff’s Stanford record in the 1,650 yard freestyle stood for 21 years (1986-2007), while holding the American record in the same event from 1983-1994.

At only 18 years old, Kostoff finished sixth in the 400 IM at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. He won the B-final in the same event at Seoul, South Korea in 1988.
