Jessica Pryne joins the New York Sharks as a coach, bringing years of high-level competitive
swimming experience and a strong background in championship-level competition to the team.

freestyle events.
During her time at LSU, Jessica competed at the SEC level, traveled with the team, and competed at the SEC Championships. At JMU, she was a two-time First Team All-Sun Belt selection, served as Team Captain, and was the co-top swimming scorer at the 2025 Sun Belt Championships.
