In Mabile’s first year at the helm of the Bronco program she led the team to a 16-5 overall regular-season record (8-1 duals, 8-4 invites/championships), a third-place finish at the Mountain West Championships and a fourth-place result at the CSCAA National Invitation Championships.

In addition, nine members recorded 4.0 GPAs on the year, 25 were named Academic All-Mountain West, while 21 made the MW Scholar-Athlete list for maintaining a 3.5 or better cumulative GPA.

PRIOR TO BOISE STATE

Mabile came to Boise State from the University of Missouri, where she was an assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s programs for two years. Overall, the Idaho native brought 11 years of coaching experience back to her alma mater Boise State, including four as a volunteer assistant with the Broncos.

During Mabile’s time at Missouri she helped the team to numerous accomplishments and honors. The women’s program placed in the top-15 nationally both years - 13th in 2017 and 15th in 2018. Athletically, the Tigers’ men’s and women’s programs combined for 37 NCAA Championship berths, 24 NCAA All-America honors and 14 All-Southeastern Conference honors. Academically, the Tigers recorded one CoSIDA Academic All-American, three CoSIDA Academic All-District honors, 41 CSCAA Scholar All-American accolades, four CSCAA Scholar All-American Team Awards and 60 SEC Academic Honor Roll accolades.

Three of her Missouri student-athletes competed at the 2017 World University Games in Taiwan. Additionally, Missouri swimmers (men and women) combined for seven top-eight finishes at the 2017 U.S. Open Championships at East Meadow, N.Y., with Sharli Brady claiming the 400-meter individual medley title.

Mabile helped coach Missouri standout Hannah Stevens, who was named to the USA Swimming National Team for the third time. Stevens took home three medals at the 2017 World University Games - a silver in the 100-meter backstroke, a bronze in the 50-meter backstroke, as well as a silver as part of the U.S.’s 4x100 medley relay team. She boasts 10 total All-America honors, with five first-team and five honorable mention accolades. Stevens also claimed the 50 back championship at the 2017 Phillips 66 National Championships and placed third in the 100 back.

Mabile’s time at Missouri was preceded by five years as the head coach at the College of Idaho, in Caldwell, where she led the Coyotes men’s and women’s teams to the NAIA National Championships meet each year. The women finished in the top15 during her final four years, placing ninth in 2014, eighth in 2015 and a then-program-best seventh in 2016. Meanwhile, the men also recorded top-15 results over that same stretch, including a then-program-best 10th-place finish in 2016.

Under Mabile, 13 C of I student-athletes qualified for the finals or consolation finals at the NAIA National Championships, including a third-place finish by Mckayla Stevens in the 200-yard freestyle at the 2016 meet. In addition, seven of her swimmers were honored as Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athletes.

She began her collegiate coaching career as a volunteer assistant at Boise State from the fall of 2007 through spring 2011, helping guide the Broncos to their first two conference championships during the 2010 and 2011 campaigns. The 2011 title proved to be the first of four Mountain West Championships Boise State has won to date.

Mabile also directed the Streamliner Aquatics program, coached at the Treasure Valley YMCA, coached for the Caldwell Swim Club and was a swim instructor for the Boise State kinesiology department.
