Texas A&M has parted ways with head diving coach Jay Lerew just days after one of his athletes won an NCAA Championship.
Multiple members of the team described it as a “firing” to SwimSwam, though SwimSwam has not received a response from Texas A&M or Lerew to confirm that characterization.
On Saturday, Texas A&M freshman diver Emilio Trevino won the men’s platform diving competition. A platform specialist, he was responsible for 20 out of the program’s 28 points at the meet, where they finished in 30th place. Junior Logan Brown (13th in the 200 breaststroke) was their only other individual scorer, and they also picked up four relay points.
On the women’s side, sophomore diver Gabrielle Filzen and senior diver Joslyn Oakley combined for five of the team’s 19.5 total points, which also placed them 30th at the meet.
Lerew joined the A&M staff in 2009, just his second collegiate gig after leading the Colorado State diving program from 1979-1981. In between, he worked mostly in club diving, with programs like Team Orlando in Florida, Moss Farm Diving in Georgia, and the Schroeder YMCA in Wisconsin.
Other NCAA Champion divers on his resume include Jaele Patrick, who won 3-meter in 2012, and Kurtis Matthews, who won 1-meter and 3-meter in 2022. He is a seven-time conference Diving Coach of the Year between the Big 12 and SEC and won the CSCAA National Diving Coach of the Year in both 2012 and 2022.
Other Olympians he coached while at A&M include Eric Sehn (Canada) and Grant Nel (Australia).
With Team Orlando, he coached 10 individual senior national title winners in 11 years.
Lerew served as the U.S. Olympic head diving coach at the 2000 Olympic Games.
His wife Wendy Lerew was an All-American diver at Florida State and a two-time Canadian Olympian on platform.
