Welcome back y'all to the last episode of Everything Orange: Season One. Thirty nine episodes in and it truly feels like we just started this project yesterday. What a joy it has been to share the stories, experiences, and journeys of our student athletes, coaches and alumni across all 15 athletic programs. In order to celebrate the winding down of the 2023-24 athletic calendar year, here is a highlight reel of some of our favorite moments on the podcast this season. Over the summer, please go back and revisit any episodes you might have missed or would like to listen to again. We have a lot of new changes in the works over the next couple of weeks and cannot wait to get back to having conversations with our Tennessee Athletics community this fall. I promise, you won't want to miss it!

Tennessee sent 32 current and former student-athletes to the 2024 Paris Olympics. On this week's episode we spotlight five of those athletes and their experience at the Games. Cierra Burdick (3x3 basketball, USA), Martin Espernberger (swimming, Austria), Javonya Valcourt (track, Bahamas), Brooklyn Douthwright (swimming, Canada), and Davonte Howell (track, Cayman Islands) reflect on what it was like to represent their countries on such a large stage, Olympic Ring tattoos, and of course, the viral chocolate muffins in the Olympic Village!

We're still buzzing from the Olympic Games this summer and excited to welcome to the podcast Tennessee Director of Swimming & Diving Matt Kredich! Seventeen (17!) Vol and Lady Vol swimmers qualified for Paris 2024 — second-most of any school. That group represented Rocky Top well, claiming two Olympic medals, breaking five national records and advancing to seven event finals. Kredich talks about the Olympic culture at Tennessee, his travels to Paris as a coach and cheerleader, and a touching tribute from one LVFL to his late son, Ben.
