Kylie Gamelier joins the Davidson staff as an assistant coach for the 2009-10 season.
Gamelier comes to Davidson after a successful career as a student-athlete at the University of Toledo. Her four years at Toledo were marked by dramatic improvement – both for the program and for Gamelier individually. In the summer of 2008, Gamelier made Toledo sports history by becoming the first swimmer to compete at the United States Olympic Trials. As a senior, she continued to transcend team history, becoming the first Toledo swimmer to compete at the NCAA Championships, where she took 31st place in both breaststroke events.
For her accomplishments, Gamelier was recognized as a team captain, named First-Team All-MAC, awarded the University of Toledo Swimming and Diving MVP, and named the Toledo Athletic Department’s Senior Female Athlete of the Year. Her own career recently included participation in the 2009 Swimming World Championship Trials.
“As a student-athlete, Kylie helped to redefine the level of swimming perceived as possible at the University of Toledo,” Davidson head swimming coach John Young said. “To be so accomplished takes hard work and good decision making, but also a willingness to think big and an excitement to embrace and exceed expectations. Kylie is positioned to be a tremendous role model, accessible and inspiring, for the student-athletes who aspire to have a similar impact on our team.”
Gamelier received her Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science from the University of Toledo in 2009. She has interned with the Strength and Conditioning staff at the University of Pittsburgh, and as a coach at the Athletic Republic in Toledo, Ohio. She is a native of Cranberry Township, Penn.
