Albright College Women's Swimming

Hay enters his third season as the head coach of the Albright men's and women's swimming teams having been appointed to the position in August of 2014.

The program began the year with the tragic death of Matthew Rein and also battled through the process of adapting to a new coaching philosphy. In the end, Hay led the men's team to a Middle Atlantic Conference title, while the women's team finished third at the conference meet.
