Men's Swimming & Diving

Gina McHenry embarks on her 17th season at the helm of both the men’s and women’s swimming programs at York College.

A graduate of York, McHenry has been associated with YCP for 22 years. She swam with the Spartans for four seasons before graduating with a degree in recreation and leisure administration. One year after her graduation, McHenry returned poolside for the Green and White as an assistant coach. The following year, she became the head coach of both squads.

McHenry brings a wealth of experience to the Spartan program, evidenced by her tenure as York’s head coach and her affiliation with the American Swimming Coaches Association. She is a three-time Capital Athletic Conference men’s swimming Coach-of-the-Year, winning the award in the 2003-04, 2005-06, and 2006-07 campaigns. McHenry, who ranks first all-time on the Spartan coaching career wins list with 126 victories, has recruited and coached 48 All-CAC swimmers during her tenure, including the 2007-08 CAC Male Swimmer-of-the-Year, Steven Fulcher.

“Our coaching staff works to develop each swimmer to their fullest potential as an individual and a team member,” McHenry said. “Hard work, dedication, and pride are key elements to the YCP swimming program.”

McHenry resides in Jacobus with her husband, Bob, and daughters, Sophia, Isabella, and Amelia.

Scott Herdson returns to the Spartan coaching staff as Coach McHenry’s assistant. Herdon begins his 13th season poolside for the Spartans after a successful collegiate career. While an undergraduate at York, he was a four-year letterwinner who established two school records.

In addition, Herdson was a team captain and MVP during his years in the YCP pool. He graduated with a degree in information systems while Herdon also received an MBA from York.

Herdson resides in Jacobus with his wife, Nicki, and their daughter, Anna.
