Swihart to lead women’s volleyball team

Jackson Community College welcomes Leigh Ann Swihart as the head coach of the Jets women’s volleyball team. She has been head coach of the Columbia Central volleyball team for the past six years.

Swihart played volleyball as a Yellowjacket at Concord High School, where the team won a state championship in 1992 and made it to the final four in 1993. After high school she attended Michigan State University, where she graduated in 2003 with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology. She worked as a staff assistant for MSU volleyball.

JCC’s first women’s volleyball season will officially begin in August 2007.

“I love the idea of being part of a program from the ground up,” Swihart said. “I knew I wanted to go further in my career, and this is a great opportunity.”

Swihart lives in Jackson with her husband, Scott, and their daughter, Danni.
