Keri Buff begins her third year at ASU, working primarily with butterflyers and backstrokers.
Buff's last coaching position was at the University of Wisconsin, in her hometown of Madison, from 1995-1999. There she coached sprint and middle-distance butterfly, back and breaststroke. A number of Badger swimmers under Buff's tutelage broke Big-10 records, received All-America honors and were Olympic Trials finalists and World University Games medalists. During Buff's tenure at Wisconsin, the women's team climbed from 30th to 14th at the NCAA Championships.
During the summer of 1999 she was named assistant coach for the U.S. National Team Distance Camp, where she coached the IM swimmers and assisted with the distance freestylers.
Prior to her stint with the Badger swim program, Buff was an assistant at the University of Arizona from 1993-1995. While in Tucson she coached the backstrokers and helped train the distance freestyle corps. With Buff on the staff, U of A was also a program on the rise, moving from 10th to fifth place at the NCAA's.
Buff swam for Arizona where she earned a B.A. in family studies. She is married to former Wildcat teammate Tony Buff.
