Miami University's Head Swim & Dive Coach, Hollie Bonewit-Cron said, "Reed Robelot was a tremendous asset to not only our program, but to the department as a whole for the last two years. He took the reins with the sprint program as well as other critical pieces such as being the recruiting coordinator in which he excelled at on a regular basis. Reed is a good mentor, communicator, and is a critical thinker. He brings high energy and I am beyond excited for him to be back in a head coaching role and look forward to seeing his success at the University of the Incarnate Word."
