Kellie Catanach Johnson was promoted to Associate Head Coach in May 2022. She is entering her fifth season with the Blue Devils, having joined the staff in June 2019. In her role, Catanach Johnson serves as the recruiting coordinator and aids in all aspects of training and program administration. In the spring of 2022 she was a member of Duke Athletics’ DEIB Belonging subcommittee and in 2021 was named an AVCA Thirty Under 30 award winner.

Previous Experience: A four-year letterwinner and three-time All-American, Catanach competed at Duke from 2008-11, receiving All-ACC recognition all four years of her college career and ACVA honors her final three seasons.

She ended her career ranked ninth on the ACC’s all-time assists leaderboard, while also becoming the third Blue Devil to post at least 1,000 assists in all four seasons and serving as the team captain for her final two years.

Catanach returns to Durham from Florida State University, where she served as the Director of Educational Services. In her role with the Seminoles, she oversaw the daily operations of educational services arm of the Student-Athlete Academic Services department while acting as the Educational Services liaison to advisors and leadership team members.
