“To say Anthony has been integral to the growth of our program is a tremendous understatement,” head coach Rob Clayton lauded.
“His daily work with our cadets is second to none. He’s a phenomenal teacher to both athletes and cadets fortunate enough to have him in Swimming Class. More than just a coach, he’s a mentor and friend to both swimmers and his fellow coaches. I’m grateful to have worked alongside Anthony for over a decade, and look forward to the next decade as he assumes this new position as Associate Head Coach.”
