Tim Walenga brings over a decade of experience to the UIC volleyball program in his first year as the volunteer assistant coach. "Tim has been in the college ranks for a long time and his knowledge and experience are definitely going to be a positive influence on both the staff and players," said head volleyball coach Nancy Mueller. "His reassuring, calm nature will be an added bonus for our staff and we are really looking forward to him getting in the gym to help us out." Walenga's responsibilities include team defense and serving while he will also assist in the scouting of opponents. Prior to UIC, Walenga served as the head volleyball coach for Division III Dominican University in Illinois from 2006-08. Under his tutelage, Dominican broke 30 school records and recorded its highest winning percentage since 2004. A 1995 graduate of Illinois State, Walenga helped guide the USA Volleyball Club Team to four USAV National Championship appearances. He also led the Illinois State men's club volleyball team to a nationally-ranked finish during his collegiate career. Walenga received his master of arts in athletic administration from Minnesota State University-Mankato in 2001. |
