The Patriots were led throughout the season by an exceptional group of team captains: Sophia Munoz Rodriguez, Jillian Dean, Gracie Dean, Izzy Dorsett, Aiden Wright, Connor Sullivan, Migo Armas, and Jonathan Lo. Their leadership, work ethic, and encouragement helped set the tone for one of Liberty’s strongest championship performances in recent years.
A special recognition also goes to the Liberty Swim & Dive Booster Club, led by Brandy Stiles, whose tireless behind-the-scenes support continues to elevate the student-athlete experience and contribute to the program’s sustained success.
