Julia Wolf, who announced her entry into the NCAA Transfer Portal a week ago, has landed at the University of Miami.
“I’ve been a Miami fan since before I can remember and it is now a dream come true that I will be swimming for them. I’m beyond grateful for my past coaches and teammates and all the support they have given me. I can’t wait to start this next part of my journey and find my love for the sport again. Go Canes🧡💚#itsallabouttheU”
This will be Wolf’s third college team. Having grown up in Valencia, California, she had trained under Coley Stickels at Canyons Aquatic Club. When he took the Assistant Coach position at Indiana University in 2017, she followed him to Bloomington and finished high school at Bloomington South High School before enrolling as a freshman at Indiana. Wolf again followed Stickels to the University of Alabama, when he took over as head coach in 2019. According to her father, Wolf was ready for a change.
Wolf, who trained with Abbey Weitzeil at Canyons, is a sprinter who won the 50 free (22.97) and placed 4th in the 100 (50.23) at 2017 CIF Division 1 Championships when she was a junior in high school. Competing for Bloomington South at the 2018 Indiana Girls High School State Meet, she won the 50 free (23.11) and was 3rd in the 100 (50.81). In her freshman season at Indiana, she placed 10th in the 50 free (22.53) and 11th in the 100 free (49.35) at 2019 B1Gs. She went on to compete at 2019 NCAAs on the Indiana 4×50 free relay. At Alabama, she came in 21st in the 100 free (49.17) and 33rd in the 50 (22.74) at 2020 SEC Championships and had qualified for 2020 NCAAs with the Alabama 4×50 free relay before that meet was canceled.

Miami finished 11th of 12 teams at the 2020 ACC Championships. It took 22.75 in the 50 free, 50.06 in the 100 free, and 54.44 in the 100 back to score at conference last season. Because of NCAA waivers related to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Wolf will have 2 years of eligibility remaining.
She followed the devil down to Bama, and CS didn’t disappoint.
Yes, going to your dream school, but after a nightmare.
Call the Bama thing for what it is. CS’s low moral character putting the entire program in jeopardy.
You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. This is an absolutely asinine comment. Julia dosen’t want to swim at Bama or anywhere. Coley treated her absolutely great for 5 years and everyone affiliated w Bama knows it.
Unhappy at not 1 but 2 quality, premier programs?
Sounds like maybe she just needs a team with:
1. only 1 swimmer of each stroke event
2. Has private practice sessions.
This is not a good look.
Or maybe after training under one coach at two different clubs and two different colleges it was just time for a change in perspective…
Does anyone know if she will be eligible to swim right away?
Good for her. Sounds like a great move with a coach that will act with respect.
It’s just one of those times that you think to yourself that you can’t make this stuff up…
Maybe you are finally listening to your heart and not following what someone told you to do. My own swimmer was approached by CS and listened to her own heart and went to swim for her dream school/team.
I hope this ends up to be your dream school/team too.
She should have come back to Indiana University to reunite with The GOAT, Ray Looze. If one would just immerse themself fully in the teachings of The GOAT, without distractions, they will find peace and tranquillity, contentment and enlightenment and success beyond their wildest dreams and imagination! #iufootballwhipswisconsinhaha, #gonewisconsiniunumber1, #loverayloozethegoatcoach, #honorrayloozethegoatcoach & #cherishrayloozethegoatcoach
Absolutely correct
Too bad you’ll never realize how toxic the IU program is and was. I have been there and I’m proud of her for leaving that team. Those coaches only looked out for themselves. Shouldn’t talk about things you know nothing about.
I’m there on a regular basis, too, for many years and the only thing toxic I’ve seen at Indiana is a few people here and there not wanting to work, not handling their business outside the pool and not honoring their commitments. This is a YOU problem, NOT a COACH problem. Ray is not only a GOAT coach, but he his an outstanding father and husband and very generous, passionate and active in making the community better. If you know him, he would give the shirt off his back to help his fellow man. “To know the man is to love the man!”
I think we found ray looze account
Nope we actually know exactly who Guerra is – he exposed himself on another thread.
Sounds like you are due back in Jonestown.
Way to stick with it….
