After conducting a nationwide search, <strong>Jamie Bloom<\/strong> has been named as the Head Coach of both the Women\u2019s and Men\u2019s Swim Programs. The University will immediately begin recruiting student-athletes to compete in the 2017-2018 season. The teams will compete as an independent program in their first year against some of the strongest NCAA DIII programs in the country which swim at various pools in the southeast region, while seeking an opportunity to join an NCAA conference in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to add high quality student-athletes to the WPU community through the addition of women\u2019s and men\u2019s swimming,\u201d said <strong>Dr. Brian C. Ralph<\/strong>, President of William Peace University. \u201cWe are continuing to grow the institution strategically and believe the addition of the sport, through an innovative partnership with the YMCA of the Triangle, will bring a new level of excitement to William Peace University.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our search to hire a coach who has been in the pool and on the recruiting trails, <strong>Jamie Bloom<\/strong> stood out to all of our committee members among a large group of eager folks looking to put a stamp on an NCAA program,\u201d said William Peace University Director of Athletics, <strong>Phil Rowe<\/strong>. \u201cWe are fortunate to have attracted such a wide range of candidates for our position, however, from the beginning of the process, Coach Bloom stood out with her extensive recruiting experience at the University of Tennessee as well as her regional and national commitment to grow the sport of swimming. We are very happy and proud to announce Jamie Bloom as our first head coach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WPU will also welcome <strong>Chad Onken<\/strong> as the Executive Director of the WPU Swim Programs.

We believe with Chad and Jamie together, WPU will be a force in NCAA DIII competitive swimming in the very near future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Women\u2019 and men\u2019s swimming will become the 15th and 16th intercollegiate programs at the University, respectively. Since transitioning to a coeducational university in 2012, WPU has added 10 intercollegiate sports programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so excited to be here and to help get this program started,\u201d Bloom said. \u201cIt really, and truly, is a great opportunity and a bit of a dream come true for me. I\u2019m really humbled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an amazing opportunity for our sport,\u201d Onken said. \u201cIt\u2019s super exciting, but it\u2019s also a great opportunity for William Peace University, and everyone involved.

These three pillars are the foundation upon which we can build and be a part of the overall growth of competitive swimming in the triangle, region and country. Adding Competitive swimming here at William Peace will expand our footprint throughout the region and close here in the Raleigh area where swimming is one of the most competitive sports in the southeast.<\/p>\n<h3>Who is going to coach the teams?<\/h3>\n<p>Jamie Bloom will serve as the Head Coach to both the Women\u2019s and Men\u2019s Swim Team.

She is a great coach, motivator and mentor. I have no doubt that she will put WPU\u2019s swimming program on a fast track to success.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Braden Holloway<\/strong><br \/>\nHead Coach, Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Swimming and Diving<br \/>\nNC State University<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cCongratulations to William Peace University and their athletic department to establishing a new swimming program for the 2017-2018 season. To provide yet another great option for students in the state and the city of Raleigh is exciting. This community is one of the best and ranks in the top 10 overall for total USA Swimming members, new membership growth, number of fitness swimmers and Olympic qualifiers. Having YOTA work as the partner is another great endeavor that will only lead to success. Chad Onken and his team at YOTA not only provide a sound structure and platform for the youth in this sport to reach their dreams, but also brings the YMCA core principles to help this new team grow for sustained success. A leader in our profession, Coach Onken has been a key piece in multiple championship teams, and his vision will help guide the Pacers to endless achievements.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Marc Benvenuti<\/strong><br \/>\nHead Coach, Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Swimming and Diving<br \/>\nConnecticut College<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cJamie has had great success at every level she has coached. WPU is very fortunate to have someone who cares so deeply about her athletes at the helm of their fledgling program. She will set the bar high and the University will be very proud of its swim teams.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>David Marsh<\/strong><br \/>\nCEO\/Head Coach, SwimMAC Carolina<br \/>\nHead Women\u2019s Coach \u2013 2016 USA Olympic Swimming Team<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m very excited about this collaboration between the YOTA Swim Team and William Peace University. Dr. Ralph and his leadership team recognize the immense value that a swim team can bring to their university. When Dr. Ralph was at Queens University in Charlotte, we worked together to implement what is now a Division II championship program. When Chad Onken was coaching with me at Auburn we were winning NCAA championships at the Division I level. The collaboration between these two outstanding Raleigh organizations is going to have a tremendous positive impact on the entire region.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>William Peace University Contributed this report.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>William Peace University is proud to announce the addition of Women\u2019s and Men\u2019s Swimming to its athletics roster.
