- Sport
Kevin Parizi graduated from Valley Christian in 2008. During his time as a student at VC, he was a record-setting member of our swim team. In 2008, Kevin swam the backstroke portion of the 200 medley relay team that set a WCAL record. In the same year, Kevin was on the CCS Championship winning 200 medley relay 400 free relay teams. In total he acheived 13 all-american swim times. Kevin would go on to swim at UC Davis, where his team won the Big West Conference Championship. Kevin competed in the Jr. Nationals 2006, 2007, 2008, and swam at the US OPEN in 2008, & 2009. He has since hung up his swimsuit and has swapped it for a whistle, as most Warriors will recognize Kevin as . . . Coach Kevin. A title he’s held at Valley Christian for nearly 10 years. A long-time assistant coach for the Warrior swimming & diving program, Kevin took the reigns as head coach in 2015 and took over as Valley Christian’s Director of Aquatic Operations in 2017, following in the footsteps of longtime head coach Cathy Manthey. Kevin has coached swimmers that broke WCAL Records, CCS Champions, and qualified for Jr. Nationals. His swimmers have had opportunities to go on and compete at the college level for schools like Loyola Marymount, the University of Minnesota, San Jose State, Cal Baptist, UC Santa Barbara, and many more… Thanks for tuning in to the Warrior Rewind, where we take time to visit with members of the Valley Christian Athletics community---past and present. Once a Warrior, always a Warrior. Warrior Rewind is hosted by Rob Fair '09, who also serves VC as a football coach, lacrosse coach, and Assistant Athletic Director.
