📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Pair To Par. Last week, it was the women. Now it’s time for the men to show what they’ve got at the U.S. Amateur. Just announced: Campbell Kremer and Solomon Petrie will tee up in Colorado Monday and Tuesday this week.

This will be Kremer’s second time participating in the U.S. Amateur. He had a strong season this past year ranking third on the team with a 73.67 scoring average, eight-par-or-better rounds, and 24.3 team-counted rounds. Petrie, who redshirted last season, is making his first appearance in the U.S. Amateur.

🔼 New Faces. New head coach Bret Lundgaard has kept most of the swimming & diving staff the same since he came to Kentucky this summer, but now he’s adding just two more.

🔵 Colin Faris already bleeds blue. He is an alum of the program and has experience coaching club and collegiate swimming & diving. He competed at Kentucky from 2007-2011 and was team captain his senior season. He will continue his leadership as Assistant Coach this season.

🔵 Caitlin Hamilton was named the Associate Coach. Hamilton has almost a decade of experience under her belt in collegiate coaching. She most recently coached at Illinois State where 12 school records were broken. Her proven track record and goal to build a world-class environment based on value really struck Lundgaard that she was the right person for the job.

The staff has also opened up a student manager position. If you’re interested in joining, click here to learn more.
