The Hokies welcome head diving coach Ron Piemonte for his third season in Blacksburg. Piemonte brings over 30 years of diving and coaching experience, spanning throughout all levels of the sport. His impressive resume as a coach has brought him national and international recognition as one of the top coaches in the United States.
Last season Piemonte and his divers continued their success throughout the ranks. Under his guidance, junior diver Mikey McDonald became the first Hokie diver ever to qualify for the NCAA Championships while registering three top-20 finishes at the competition. His finishes garnered him Honorable Mention All American status in both the one meter springboard and platform events.
In 2005, Piemonte was voted the Most Outstanding Age Group Diving Coach in the United States. Prior to joining Tech, he spent five seasons at Moss Farms Diving, where he produced six different East National Champions, two YMCA National Champions, three different high school state champions, as well as three different divers representing the U.S.A. in international competitions – one of which was a bronze medalist on platform in the Junior Pan-Am Championships in Belem, Brazil. Besides coaching, for the last three years Ron has been the Vice President in charge of junior diving for USA Diving. For the last six years he has been an instructor for coaches in safety certification, and also in all levels of educating and certifying coaches in belt spotting over trampoline, dryboard, and water.
Piemonte served ten years at the Tualatin Hills Dive Club in Beaverton, Ore., where Piemonte attained a high level of achievement. There he coached many junior national finalists, senior national qualifiers and finalists, junior and senior national team members who represented the U.S.A. in international competitions, two junior national champions, three Junior World Championship qualifiers (one bronze medalist) and an Olympic Trials finalist in 2000 on platform.
Piemonte was recognized as the Region 10 Coach of the Year and Zone D Coach of the Year in 1999. He is a six-time U.S. National Team coach, and was ranked as one of the top 10 Junior Olympic coaches in the country by the International Olympic Committee of U.S. Diving.
Prior to Oregon Piemonte split six seasons of coaching between Phoenix, Ariz., and Albuquerque, N.M. In Albuquerque, he was the head coach for men and women at the University of New Mexico while running an age group team of about 20 divers. Meanwhile, in Phoenix, he developed a very strong club program that consistently had both junior and senior national qualifiers and finalists.
As a diver, Piemonte competed at the National level from 1974 to 1985. As an athlete at Arizona State University, he was a Pac-10 champion, runner up and NCAA finalist. One of the highlights of his career was being able to train under the Japanese Olympic coach during his entire senior year of college.
Piemonte has been married for 23 years to wife, Tina, and has three children: Rachele, Leah and Ronnie. His oldest daughter Rachele is a freshman at VT and is in the Honor’s Program majoring in Chemistry and Bio-Chem. Leah and Ronnie are both highly ranked divers and compete at the Junior National level of USA Diving.
