This is Coach Boykin’s second year at Mountain View teaching Algebra 2. She was a 2004 University of Delaware graduate with several years of experience teaching middle school before her current position. She grew up practically living at the pool, swimming competitively from the age of 8 until she graduated high school. Her favorite events were the 100 fly and 100 freestyle. While this is her second year coaching the Mountain View Swim & Dive team, she has also spent plenty of time over the past decade at the pool and in the gym coaching fitness and water aerobics classes for adults. She is excited to return this year to help our athletes grow and hit their goals for the season!!

Coach Pickens teaches Spanish and has been at Mountain View for almost 10 years and loves it! She swam all of her life and even made the Olympic Trials in 1992 for the 200 Breaststroke and the 200 IM.

Coach Pickens served as an MV Swim & Dive Assistant Coach under Head Coach Monteon a few years ago. Long before she had kids, she was the head coach at Dacula for 5 years, so she is familiar with how swimming is done in Gwinnett County. Sadly, her kids did not follow in her footsteps so most of the time you will find her at a softball tournament or watching her son run 5K's like a crazy person in cross country or track but she is glad to be back home by the water helping Coach Boykin!

Coach Kerr enjoys watching athletes grow & encourages them to strive for their greatest potential! In 2016, Coach Kerry Kerr broke the former 11-dive record at Archer High School. His passion for diving continued in undergrad where he dove for Bethany College, W.V. He has been coaching off-season recreational diving through the SpringDoGs program since 2016. His high-school coaching began at Mountain View in 2021 where he was nominated as Dive Coach of the Year. Through his recreational and high school coaching, he continues to promote diversity and sportsmanship within the sport and is a wonderful ambassador for the dive community!
