TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University men's and women's swimming & diving programs have finalized the coaching staff for the 2022-23 season, head coach Anthony Bruno announced Tuesday afternoon.
 
The two newest additions to the staff include Emilie Petit and Patrick Boyle, both assistant coaches for the programs.
 
Emilie comes to Towson after serving as an assistant coach at Old Dominion University for the past three seasons. Before coaching, Emilie swam for ODU where she holds multiple top 10 all-time program performances and was an event medalist in the 400-yard IM at the Conference USA Championships in 2019. Originally from Dijon, France, Emilie brings a wealth of experience as a competitor and has assisted in developing some of the top talents at ODU in the last few seasons.
 
"Emilie brings with her a wealth of experience as a student-athlete and coach. She is one of the strongest swimmers in ODU history and has done a great job on deck coaching the last three seasons. Emilie has grown into a strong recruiter and does an excellent job with student-athlete development. She forms strong bonds with team members and her energy on the pool deck is infectious. I am looking forward to working with Emilie to continue to build one of the top mid major programs in the country," head coach Anthony Bruno said of the hire.
 
Patrick Boyle joins the Tigers from Fairfield University, where he swam under the leadership of Towson head coach Anthony Bruno. Boyle graduated in the class of 2021 and subsequently obtained his MBA from Fairfield. He spent last summer coaching the Fairfield program during the coaching transition phase. He currently works as a head age group coach at Loyola Blakefield Academy in addition to his role at Towson.
 
"Patrick has a great swimming mind and is dedicated to the student-athletes. Pat's experience as a student-athlete will benefit all team members while working with all our different training groups. I'm thrilled to be on deck with Patrick, his energy is great and his commitment to building culture will boost our program," Bruno said of Boyle.
 
Emilie and Patrick round out the men's and women's swimming & diving staff comprised of head coach Anthony Bruno, assistant coach Matt Bosse, diving assistant coach Bill Williams and volunteer coach Ivan Rodriguez.
