Ray has also coached the Streaks boys swimming coach for the last 14 seasons. And by the time you add in his years coaching the Knox County YMCA swimming team, Ray has probably coached over 80 seasons of swimming in Galesburg. I coached collegiately for 11 seasons Division I at Oakland University, The University of Richmond, Southern Methodist University, the University of Michigan and Ohio State University. I swam for Coach Ray my entire 4 years at GHS – from fall of 2005 through fall of 2008. I remember one practice I wasn’t feeling 100% (probably just a cold) and I told Coach Ray, maybe I need to sit out.
