Campus Champion

Brian Tobin ’94, the head coach of the SUNY Cortland men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams, never wears down from his work at the College or in the community. He went beyond his coaching and teaching duties in the Physical Education Department by leading a successful community clean-up Nov. 13 after a Cortaca Jug football win. The 40-year-old Tobin, who won the city of Cortland mayor’s seat Nov. 8, also coaches a swimming program for community children with disabilities. And in July, in his free time, he completed an Ironman triathlon — which consists of swimming, biking and running 140.6 total miles — in Lake Placid, N.Y.
