Rebecca Story
Head Coach
Rebecca Story enters her second season as Wheaton's head synchronized swimming coach after pushing the Lyons to a top-10 finish at the United States Collegiate Championship for the 20th consecutive season during her initial campaign. She also serves on the NCAA subcommittee for USA Synchro.
A four-year synchronized swimmer at regional rival Keuka College in Keuka Park, New York, Story was an assistant coach with the program in 2006-07. Among her main tasks at Keuka were structuring practices and implementing new workout routines. She has also coached and choreographed routines for the Keuka Kokanees Age Group squad since 2002 and began designing routines for her college team as a freshman.
A three-year captain at Keuka, Story advanced to the third phase of tryouts for the U.S. Senior National Team in 2007. She also coached a team at the Empire State Games in Binghamton, New York, in the summer of 2006.
Story was the Keuka program's recruiting coordinator during her freshman and sophomore seasons and, after just her freshman year of college, she served as the communications director of Keuka's synchronized swimming camp in the summer of 2003.
She was among the top seven soloists in the nation at the United States Collegiate Championship each of her final three seasons and half of a top-11 duet on three occasions. Keuka recorded a top-10 finish each of her four years, placing as high as fifth during her senior campaign.
Story made an appearance at the United States National Championship as both a junior and senior. She was voted Keuka Athlete of the Year by her peers following her senior season. An organizational communications major, Story graduated from Keuka in May 2006.
