BALTIMORE -- UMBC Swimming & Diving assistant coach
Brennan Morris has been selected for induction into the Loyola (Md.) Athletics Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2026.
The most decorated swimmer of Loyola's history in the MAAC, Morris was a three-time MAAC Most Outstanding Male Swimmer in 2010, 2011 and 2012. He won 14 titles during that time and held multiple conference records, a pair that still stand today. Morris graduated from Loyola as the program's record-holder in six individual events—500 freestyle, 1,000 freestyle, 1,650 freestyle, 100 backstroke, 200 backstroke and 400 individual medley—and was on two record-holding relay teams—400 freestyle and 800 freestyle. His MAAC records in the 400 individual medley and 1,650 freestyle still stand today. Morris was the first Loyola swimmer, male or female, to achieve an NCAA B standard qualifying time. He competed at a pair of United States Olympic Trials, swimming at the meets in both 2008 and 2012, and he was 15th in the 1,500 freestyle at the 2009 FINA World Championships in Italy.
"We have been spoiled to have Brennan here as a coach these past two seasons and sometimes forget how impressive he was as an athlete," said UMBC head coach
Matt Donovan. "This is such great news and no one is more deserving of this type of recognition. Our hats go off to Coach Brennan and all of his fellow inductees."
The induction ceremony will be on Saturday, March 14.
