Drew Sheldon, a former assistant with the Missouri Tigers and former diver at Davidson College, has been named Auburn’s newest assistant coach for the Auburn Diving program in June of 2024.
 
Sheldon arrives at Auburn after a year with Missouri as the graduate assistant for the Tigers. In just one season in Columbia, he helped raise the program to new heights. His guidance propelled four divers to reach the NCAA Zone Championships last season. Collier Dyer, Kamryn Wong and Tomasso Zannella would all earn a berth to the NCAA Championships. Dyer claimed All-America honors, finishing 10th on the 1-meter. 
 
A Georgia native, Sheldon made his mark at Davidson College as the first scholarship diver in program history. From Rookie of the Week to becoming team captain, Sheldon’s example set forth a new era of Wildcat Swim and Dive which has now boasted Atlantic-10 champions and NCAA Zone qualifiers. 

Sheldon recently spent time at Fox’s old stomping grounds at Moss Farms Diving, the program that Fox built into one of the premier diving clubs in the country. There, Sheldon learned the “Seven Step Concept,” a process utilized by world-class divers, including many in the upcoming 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France. 

Fox deepens his staff as he enters his second year at the helm of the Auburn Diving program. In his first year on the Plains, Fox qualified all seven of his divers for the Zone Championships, helped Ashlynn Sullivan to a bronze medal at the SEC Championships on platform, produced seven top-10 dives in program history and guided both Sullivan and Abigail Farrar to qualify for the US Olympic Trials.
