I truly believe there is a lot of potential with SJU Swimming & Diving and I cannot wait to see all of the good things that will come with this program."

"We wish Reed the best at Alabama, and we are really excited to build on the momentum that was generated last year," SJU athletic director Bob Alpers '82 said. "With our core of terrific returning  student-athletes, incoming recruits and excellent facilities, we are sure to attract some outstanding candidates for this position."  

The Johnnies finished fifth out of eight teams, four points from fourth, at the 2019 MIAC Championships in February.
