MILWAUKEE – The next episode of the "PounceCast" – a feature that provides more content and helps tell the stories behind Milwaukee Panther Athletics – is available as of today.
The podcast, hosted by Matt Menzl, is designed to take listeners behind the scenes with key members of the Panther community.
The next episode (30:33) features Milwaukee swimming & diving head coach
Kyle Clements and is available
HERE.
Clements enters his 16th season in 2025-26 and has completely reshaped Milwaukee's history, bringing home 15 team trophies - four Horizon League Championships and eleven runner-up finishes - over that span.
MKE has also had a lot of individual success, breaking all but two of the combined 72 school and freshman records during Clements' time at Milwaukee, including ten individual records, six freshman records, and four relay records for the men, while the women broke two individual records, three freshman records and three relay records last season alone. Clements was named the Horizon League Women's Swimming Coach of the Year for the sixth time in his career after leading the team to a runner-up finish at the Horizon League Championships last winter. He also coached an individual league champion, two champion relay teams, and five runner-up finishers. The Panther men finished with their best finish at the league championships in 10 years.
Clements was promoted to head coach in the fall of 2010 after two years as the top assistant.
The Milwaukee Athletic Department announced the creation of this monthly podcast back in January of 2023.
