Steven Mohs was named associate head coach for the Coyotes in the spring of 2017. Mohs has 15 years of collegiate coaching experience including four years as head coach at Morningside College (2008-12) and four more as head coach at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minn., (2012-16).
 
Mohs has traveled the country to work different swim camps, most notably the Texas Longhorn Swim Camp and the Stanford International Swim Camp where he worked alongside Reese and Meehan, respectively. He has spent this past year as an assistant swim coach for Granite City Aquatics Swim Club in St. Cloud, Minn.
 
Mohs attended Sauk Rapids-Rice High School near St. Cloud and attended St. Cloud State University where he was a captain on the swim team and earned his bachelor’s degree in sports management in 2001. He began his coaching career that fall as a graduate assistant for the swim program at St. Cloud and was later hired as an assistant coach. He worked primarily with distance swimmers and individual medley specialists, and was in charge of the team’s off-season conditioning and weight training programs.
 
Morningside offered Mohs his first head coaching gig in 2008. In four years with the Mustangs, Mohs expanded the program’s roster from 15 to 40 student-athletes. Morningside boasted 44 NAIA national qualifiers and had 35 athletes set individual records in his four seasons. He was named Coach of the Year in 2012 after leading Morningside’s women’s team to a third-place finish at the NAIA Liberal Arts Conference Championship meet.
 
Mohs moved from Morningside to St. Catherine in 2012. In four years in St. Paul, Mohs helped the program set 13 individual records on the women’s side and three team records. Members of his program were named SCU Athlete of the Year twice, and earned two MIAC Diver of the Year awards. The Wildcats placed in the top-six of 11 teams in all four years at the MIAC Championships.
 
In his first year with the Coyotes, he helped coach the women’s program to a fourth-place finish and the men’s to a runner-up finish, a program best, at the 2018 Summit League Championship Meet. During the 2016-17 season, Mohs helped 21 athletes reach all-Summit League status alongside coaching the men’s and women’s teams to 16 school records.
