At the 2016 NAIA National Championships, Kemnitz led both the men's and women's teams to the highest finishes in school history as the men finished eighth and the women took sixth. Kemnitz coached the first NAIA Swimming National Champion in school history after Ronni Borders took home the title in the 100-yard breaststroke. Borders later earned All-American honors in the 200-yard breaststroke, becoming the first two-time All-American in program history. At the 2015 NAIA National Championships, the Blue Raider women matched their previous best-ever finish at the championships with their second-straight 10th-place finish while the men's team placed 14th. The 2014-15 season saw a historical moment as Laura Stephenson became the program's first-ever NAIA All-American after finishing in third-place in the 200-yard butterfly event. This past years national championship extended Kemnitzs streak of sending swimmers to every NAIA National Championships since becoming the Blue Raiders coach.
