Megan Besecker begins her first season as Head Coach for the Barton Volleyball program.

Most recently Besecker served as an assistant coach for the 2022 NJCAA Division I Volleyball National Champion Buccaneers of Florida Southwestern College under Thais Baziquetto-Allen, her former high school coach who then guided Seward County Community College for three seasons prior to FSW.

A Liberal, Kansas, native, Besecker played at Garden City Community College and Tougaloo College (MS), entering the coaching ranks as Head Coach at Liberal High School before moving up to the college ranks as an assistant at NCAA Division II Emporia State University.

Besecker becomes the 16th coach in the program's 44th season beginning in Fall '23.

“Megan’s vast coaching experiences at the high school, club, community college, and NCAA levels, have prepared her well for her first ever collegiate coaching opportunity,” Barton Athletic Director Trevor Rolfs said. “Growing up in Kansas and competing at a conference school, Coach Besecker is well aware of KJCCC history in the sport of volleyball. We are extremely excited to have her on staff, and look forward to her positive energy leading to tremendous success for Barton Volleyball.”
