Keith Crawford begins his fifth season as Monmouth College’s head swimming coach in the fall of 2008. Crawford took over a dormant program in 2003 and has quickly transformed the Fighting Scots into a Midwest Conference contender. Named Midwest Conference "Men's Coach of the Year" in 2007 and 2008, his men finished second at both the 2007 and 2008 MWC Championships. The Scots women placed fourth in 2007 and fifth in 2008. Crawford’s teams have produced 10 individual and relay conference champions. Monmouth’s teams excel out of the pool, too. The men’s and women’s teams have been honored by the College Swim Coaches Association for excellence in academics.

Crawford was a four-year student athlete and graduated with degrees in history and secondary education from Xavier University in 2001. He earned his master’s degree in Recreation and Sport Management at Indiana State University in 2003. In addition to his duties as swimming coach, Crawford serves as director of the Huff Athletic Center and teaches swimming and lifeguarding courses.

Monmouth College’s Kevin Raske (Algonquin, Ill./Dundee-Crown) left his competitors in his wake at last weekend’s Monmouth Invitational and was rewarded with the Midwest Conference Performer of the Week honor in men’s swimming.

The freshman also set the school and pool record in the 200- butterfly with his winning time of 1:58.92 and he swam a personal-best 56.39 in the 100- backstroke. Raske wasn’t finished there. His leg in the 200- freestyle relay helped the Fighting Scots set the new pool mark at 1:32.20. He holds the conference’s top times in four different events

A music major, Raske is the son of Richard and Nancy Raske of Algonquin.
