WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – York, Pa., native Jackson Miller has been hired as the head coach of the Lycoming College men's and women's swimming teams, Director of Athletics Glenn Smith '07 announced on Wednesday, July 1.
 
"We are excited to welcome Jackson to the athletics staff and the Lycoming family," Smith said. "Throughout the interview process, it was evident that Jackson will be a strong fit for our swimming program. His ability to connect competitiveness and the wholistic view of the student-athlete will support our efforts to advance in the Landmark Conference while delivering an outstanding athletic experience. I am eager for what Jackson will do with our men's and women's swimming program and for the ways he will impact our student-athletes."  
 
Miller arrives in Williamsport after a successful season at Quincy University, where he served as an assistant coach and aquatics director.
 
"I am honored to have the opportunity to lead Lycoming College's swim teams," Miller said. "After meeting with the athletic department and swim team, it is evident that Lycoming has a drive to excel. I am beyond excited to work with this group of student-athletes who are motivated and committed to building. I'd like to thank the search committee, Director of Athletics Glenn Smith, and President Edmonds for being so affable in the transition process - Go Warriors!"
 
At Quincy during the 2025-26 season, Miller helped guide the men's program to its first national ranking in school history while improving from eighth to fifth in the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship standings and sending two student-athletes to the NCAA Championship. The women's program also posted one of its most successful seasons, finishing eighth in the league, setting four school records and having a record 13 point-scorers at the GLVCs.
 
In addition to his coaching responsibilities, Miller served as the university's aquatics director, overseeing hiring and scheduling of lifeguard staff while managing daily operations and events at the campus pool.
 
Prior to Quincy, Miller spent the 2024-25 season as a volunteer assistant coach at Frostburg State University, where he assisted with daily operations. The Bobcats enjoyed a standout campaign, with the women's team winning its fourth consecutive Mountain East Conference title and the men topping the MEC for the third straight year.
 
Miller also spent three seasons as a lead age group coach with the Dover Area Aquatic Club, working primarily with 13–14 swimmers.
 
Miller was a four-year member of Frostburg's swim program from 2020-24, competing in sprint freestyle, backstroke, and individual medley events. He served as team captain as a senior and was part of back-to-back Mountain East Conference championship teams. He reached the 'A' final of the 200-yard backstroke three times at the Great Midwest-Mountain East Conference Championship and was also an 'A' finalist in the 200-yard individual medley and 100-yard backstroke once during his career.
 
Originally from York, Pa., Miller earned a Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness Education from Frostburg State University in 2025.
 
What they are saying about Coach Miller:
"Jackson is a coach who leads with energy, curiosity and a genuine commitment to the success of his student-athletes. Even as a student-athlete and team captain, he consistently looked for ways to improve both himself and the team, demonstrating leadership qualities that naturally translated into coaching. Throughout his time as a volunteer assistant at Frostburg State and later at Quincy, he was always seeking opportunities to learn, asking thoughtful questions, and looking for ways to become a more effective coach. What stands out most about Jackson is his willingness to seek feedback, embrace new ideas, and continuously grow in the profession. He is passionate about developing meaningful relationships with his athletes and creating an environment where they can succeed both in and out of the pool. As Lycoming's new head coach, I believe those qualities will pay significant dividends. His enthusiasm, strong work ethic, and commitment to athlete development will help him build a positive team culture, earn the trust of his student-athletes, and position the program for long-term success. It will be great to have Jackson back in the area, and I look forward to cheering him on and watching the impact he makes on the Lycoming swimming program in the years ahead."

"Coach Jackson has been really inspiring to me this season. He always brought positive energy to the pool deck. My very first time meeting Coach Jackson, he wrote me, with a huge smile on his face, a 100-breaststroke practice. I was looking at it for a good 15 minutes in complete disbelief, because it was probably one of the hardest practices I've ever seen. As the season went by, Coach was always supportive, creative, and most importantly, open to not just coaching, but also learning from his own swimmers. He was always creative with drills and new ideas for the race plan. One thing that I like about Jackson is that he knows when to be a coach and when to be a friend. On the pool deck, he can talk to swimmers, laugh, and share emotions, but as soon as the practice starts, he is fully locked in. He can yell and push his swimmers to become better and faster, but also push you outside the pool to be a better person. I am really proud to say that I have been coached by Jackson, and I know that he is going to do an amazing job and make everyone proud at Lycoming College!"
