John Brumund-Smith

 Swimming and track coach John Brumund-Smith has one-liners funny enough to get his players through even the hardest sets. 

Whether he’s eating instant mashed potatoes during practice or just offering words of encouragement to swimmers and runners, there is rarely a dull moment if he’s your coach.

“Coach JBS loves track but he might like Star Wars even more. I respect that,” track athlete Graham Conley said. “He never fails to support anybody on the team regardless of skill.”

While the swim team was kept out of the pool in December and January due to the coronavirus, Coach Brumund-Smith was still at virtual practice every day with his firework background.

“At the end of the swim season, John manages to make the long banquets go by in a snap thanks to his sense of humor and funny stories he loves to tell us,” swimmer Wes Michael said.

Other than rooting for the Packers, there are few bad things you could say about Coach John Brumund-Smith.
