Katherine Shroyer returns to her alma mater with a resume defined by championship pedigree and a deep history of success within the UC Davis program. Shroyer previously served as an assistant coach for the Aggies from 2007 to 2010, a tenure highlighted by a WWPA Conference Championship and a fourth-place finish at the 2008 NCAA Championships. During her first stint on the Davis bench, she was instrumental in the development of the program's top talent, leading the Aggies to the national stage.
Prior to returning to the Schaal Aquatics Center, Shroyer spent over a decade expanding her coaching portfolio across the country. Her experience includes serving as a Head Coach for the USA Water Polo Olympic Development Program (ODP) in the Pacific Northwest, as well as holding numerous certifications in youth sports and fitness that reflect her commitment to holistic student-athlete development.
As a student-athlete, Shroyer enjoyed one of the most decorated playing careers in UC Davis history from 2004–2007. A three-time team captain and two-time NCAA Division I All-American, she was named the 2006 WWPA Player of the Year. Her success extended beyond the pool, as she was honored with the 2007 W.P. Lindley Award as the school's outstanding scholar-athlete and the Hubert Heitman Award as the Female Athlete of the Year. In 2013, her legacy was cemented with her induction into the UC Davis Athletics Hall of Fame.
