Wright State head swimming coach Sion Brinn announced the hiring of Kyle Oaks as an assistant coach Tuesday. Oaks joins the Raider staff after serving as an assistant coach for two seasons at his alma mater, the College of Wooster.
A Franklin, Indiana, native, Oaks earned a bachelor's degree in political science with a minor in philosophy from Wooster in 2008. Oaks has also completed two certifications in corrective exercise and performance enhancement with the National Academy of Sports Medicine. He is presently concluding his master's in Human Movement through Andrew Taylor Still University.
From 2004-08, Oaks was one of the top sprint freestylers for the Fighting Scots as well as a contributor in the 100 backstroke and on relays, regularly producing points at the North Coast Athletic Conference Championships. In fact, he scored the maximum 12 times as an individual during his career with his most significant contributions being a pair of all-conference showings as part of the 200 freestyle (1:26.65) and 200 medley (1:36.89) relays in 2007. Oaks also served as a tri-captain during his senior campaign.
Wright State finished third on the women's side at the 2010 Horizon League Championships in Chicago while the men placed third. The Raiders open the 2010-11 season by hosting UIC at the WSU Natatorium on Saturday, October 23, starting at 11:00.
