Women's S&D unveils class of 2027

Air Force women's swimming and diving welcomes its freshmen group that comprises the class of 2027, as announced today by both head coaches Colleen Murphy and Kyle Van Valkenburg. The 18 freshmen arrived at the Academy for in-processing and the start of their four-year academic and athletic careers at the Academy.

"This class is extremely versatile and deep, we are excited for them to start their journey in basic training and step into their roles on the team this fall," said Murphy. "Each of them can do amazing things at USAFA and in the Mountain West, and they are ready and prepared for this new challenge."

"I am thrilled to welcome Shaelyn, Jaymie, and Kadyn to the USAFA swimming and diving program," said Van Valkenburg. "These athletes already hold impressive high school athletic and academic achievements, and I believe they will make an immediate impact on our team."
