I know what you might think - but no, l don’t share this to brag or boast. I share it to highlight two things: 1. The incredible student-athlete experience here @libertydiveswim and how thankful/grateful we are to be here at LU. When high-level, top-100 recruits commit to Liberty and people ask “Why Liberty? Who’s that? Why would top recruits go there? Are they even a DI program?”..... Here’s just one more of myriad examples. You CAN have a big-time SEC/B1G/ACC experience (or bigger) - You can fly private… AND do so at a distinctly Christian University. 2. Let’s all celebrate women in sport and just how far we’ve come in terms of Title IX and gender equity. If you told the early club sports pioneers fighting for women’s opportunities in college athletics....told them that someday women would fly private straight from Lynchburg, VA to Atlanta, GA and GT for the NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming & Diving Championship Meet...would they believe you? My how far we’ve come!! Footballers fly charter to nearly every away game - and rightly so...that said, I’m grateful for those early fighters that paved the way for us. I’m thankful to coach at an institution that sees the value in women’s athletics, and Olympic sports at that, and allowed us the opportunity to experience what those football players do on a regular basis. I do believe we can all agree that is a WIN for WOMEN’S athletics everywhere. ... ....And with that, SCY year 16 of program history comes to an end. Congrats to Kamryn, Aly, and Shannon on a fantastic season and for our highest ever number of individual NCAA qualifiers!!

Before the @swimswamnews coaching carousel rumors start up again - no, of course I am not leaving Liberty. We know this. We knew this. Fortunate to have a priceless opportunity here. With all due respect, nowhere else compares, and it’s not even remotely close. @Braden_Keith

A great moment for women’s athletics - though it’s wild it had to come to this. That said, many coaches stood firm against the tide. We knew we were on the right side of history, and we didn’t back down in the face of shifting trends. This shouldn’t have been political. It didn’t need to be. Thankfully sanity prevailed.

As a former Big Ten guy I love to compare where our relays would finish in the B1G every year…our 400 medley this year might surprise some folks! But….if you know, you know. Nothing surprising about it. We’ve been doing this here at Liberty for almost 20 years now. Same relays, different day. Faster than Power 4 programs every year since we started in 2010-2011. No mid-major mentality here - we believe 100% we are a P4 program…and we have the results - 16 years worth - on which to rest our case. Go Flames!

Imagine being a navy officer who had to sit through years and years of gay race communist training and trans-affirming e-modules and then a dude who benches 315 shows up and says “fuck it man, you can fire the torpedoes” and it’s now all worth it. It must have been beautiful.

Just throwing it out there as a reminder - we didn’t need the auto bid.
