The women have posted two top-10 finishes - eighth in 2012 and ninth in 2014 - and five top-25 finishes under Villa. The men have two top-25 finishes, coming in 24th in 2007 and 2009.

The women's 200 and 400 medley relay teams were All-America honorable mention at the national championships, while Mikesell earned All-America status in four events (200 IM, 100 fly, 200 free and 200 fly). On the men's side, Thanos Diamantidis earned All-America honors in the 100 breast.

    The IUP women logged a runner-up finish in the team standings of the 2022-23 PSAC Championships, with the men posting fifth overall. The Hawks combined for 39 top-eight finishes and claimed four PSAC titles and eight runner-up races.


    IUP was second on the women's side and fifth in the men's standings at the 2021-22 PSAC Championships, logging a combined 48 top-eight finishes across the program. Luke Mikesell (1000 free, 500 free), Paige Mikesell (200 IM), Rachel Johnson (100 breast), Claire Mikesell (200 breast) and the women's 800 free relay all claimed first-place showings at the conference championships. Claire Mikesell went on to earn national runner-up honors in the 200 breast, one of three IUP women's simmers (Paige Mikesell, Claire Mikesell) to compete in the NCAA DII National Championships that season.

    Villa has led two of the most successful swim programs in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference for the duration of his time in Indiana, especially recently. The women's team has posted top-4 finishes at the conference championship meet for eight straight seasons, coming in second in 2014, 2019 and 2020. The men's team has been just as consistent with top-4 finishes each year from 2014 to 2019, including a second place finish in 2015.

    The Crimson Hawks have also been successful in dual meets, posting a combined record of 80-28 since the 2010-11 season. The women are 43-12 (.782) over that time with five undefeated seasons and 20 straight victories from 2012 to 2015. The men are 37-16 (.698) since 2010 with three undefeated seasons.

    Villa has helped 14 swimmers earn a total of 45 All-American honors. His most successful pupil has been 11-time All-American Jackie Hynson (2009-12), who also won the NCAA individual title in the 200 butterfly with a Division II record time of 1:58.84 in 2012. Hynson was the 2010-11 PSAC Women's Swimmer of the Year, won six individual PSAC titles, and broke eight school, three conference, and two PSAC championship meet records. Hynson graduated with a 4.0 grade point average in speech pathology, was the 2012 IUP Scholar-Athlete of the Year, a CSCAA Scholar All-America, and a two-time PSAC Winter Top 10 recipient.

    Allyson Mitidieri (2010-14) was another highly successful swimmer under Villa, earning nine All-American nods in her career, including four first team honors as a senior in 2014.

    Pawel Glowiak (2005-09) has been the men's program's best swimmer this century with nine All-American nods during his four-year career, including seven with Villa as the head coach.

    Villa is a three-time PSAC Coach of the Year, earning the honor twice on the women's side (2011, 2014) and once on the men's side (2015). The two latter awards came after second place finishes at the conference championship meet.

    The Crimson Hawks have also excelled in the classroom, with the women's team routinely earning Scholar All-America Team honors by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America. The men's program also earned three straight PSAC Top Team GPA Awards between 2012 and 2014.

    Stoner has helped IUP women's swimmers reach the NCAA Division II Championships each of the last three seasons, with one relay and seven individual qualifiers combining for 10 All-American nods.

    He's also helped the men's and women's teams combine for six top-3 finishes at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) championships during his five previous seasons, including back-to-back second place posts by the women in 2019 and 2020. The women finished third in 2016 and 2018 while the men also had third place finishes in 2016 and 2018.

    During his five year's he's also coached a total of 30 PSAC champions. He's had a hand in a multitude of new school records between the two programs, and has helped both the men's and women's teams reach CSCAA Scholar All-America status.

    IUP excelled in 2022-23 in both the pool and the classroom. Paige Mikesell was named the College Sports Communicators (CSC) DII Academic All-America Tem Member of the Year, while Rachel Johnson earned the NCAA Elite 90 award as a two-time individual All-America honoree. The women's 200 and 400 medley relay teams were All-America honorable mention at the national championships, while Mikesell earned All-America status in four events (200 IM, 100 fly, 200 free and 200 fly). On the men's side, Thanos Diamantidis earned All-America honors in the 100 breast.

    IUP was second on the women's side and fifth in the men's standings at the 2021-22 PSAC Championships, logging a combined 48 top-eight finishes across the program. Luke Mikesell (1000 free, 500 free), Paige Mikesell (200 IM), Rachel Johnson (100 breast), Claire Mikesell (200 breast) and the women's 800 free relay all claimed first-place showings at the conference championships. Claire Mikesell went on to earn national runner-up honors in the 200 breast, one of three IUP women's simmers (Paige Mikesell, Claire Mikesell) to compete in the NCAA DII National Championships that season.

    In 2020-21, he helped lead the IUP women's program to the PSAC Championship with the men's program finishing fourth. The Crimson Hawks had seven combined PSAC champions (individuals/relays) and six runner-up finishes. Paige Mikesell won 200 free at the 2020-21 NCAA DII Championships, while Claire Mikesell (100 breast, 200 breast), Rachel Johnson (100 breast, 200 breast) and Luke Mikesell (500 free) also competed in the national championship meet.


    Stoner is coming off a 2019-20 season in which he saw sophomores Paige Mikesell and Rachel Johnson earn All-American honors, despite losing three days of the NCAA championships to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mikesell earned All-America honors in three events, including the 100 and 200 yard butterfly and 200 yard freestyle. Johnson earned the nod in the 100 yard breaststroke.

    Mikesell was named the Women's Most Outstanding Swimmer at the PSAC Championships, as she scored 167 points during the four-day conference championship meet. She won four PSAC titles – three individual, one relay – broke two meet records and one school mark, and had one NCAA Division II A standard and four B standard times.

    In addition to Mikesell's wins, Stoner also helped the 800 free relay win the PSAC title.

    Mikesell and Johnson were both CSCAA Scholar All-Americans while the women's program earned Scholar All-America Team honors.

    In 2018-19, Stoner directly oversaw the training of all three individual NCAA qualifiers - Nicole Smith, Claire Mikesell, Paige Mikesell. Claire was a first team All-American in the 200 breaststroke while Nicole earned honorable mention honors in the 200 and 500 freestyle. In addition, the 400 medley relay earned honorable mention All-American status.

    The women's team finished as the runner-up at the PSAC championships for the first time since the 2013-14 season (five years). The 200 medley relay was one of several highlights for the Crimson Hawks, winning the event while breaking a conference meet record.

    In Stoner's third year he helped Nicole Smith and Regan Chalk reach the 2018 NCAA Championships, with Smith earning All-American honors in the 200 and 500 freestyle. Smith was a PSAC champion in the 100 and 200 freestyle while breaking a school record in the latter. It was one of three school records Stoner helped the Hawks break in 2017-18.

    In Stoner's first year (2015-16) he helped freshman Noah Brockway win the individual title in the 200 backstroke at the 2016 PSAC Championships. The men finished third at the conference meet that season with three school records falling with the help of Stoner.

    Stoner came to the Crimson Hawks in 2015 with six years of collegiate coaching experience, including two seasons at Texas Christian University (TCU) in Fort Worth. While at TCU, Stoner was responsible for coaching the sprinters and was also the program's director of operations. During the 2013-14 and the 2014-15 seasons, Stoner coached numerous men's and women's All-Big 12 first and second team honorees, as well as several record breaking performances.

    Stoner made a return to his home state of Pennsylvania, as he was a four-year student assistant coach at Lock Haven prior to his time at TCU. While with the Bald Eagles, Stoner helped mentor seven-time All-American Brittany Rehrig, one of the most successful swimmers in program history, while also helping the women's team to a No. 21 national ranking during the 2012-13 season.

    Stoner also has four years of experience as an assistant coach for Tennessee Swimming Camps and spent summers as the Waterfront Director of Brant Lake Camp in Brant Lake, N.Y.

    A four-year letterwinner at Big Spring High School in Newville, Pa., Stoner served as team captain as a senior in 2008-09.
