Freshman McKenzie Siroky is an up-and-coming star for Lady Vols swimming — already etching her name amongst the top-10 times in program history for the 100 breast this season.

But McKenzie’s stardom didn’t begin in the pool, but rather on the ice, where she was a hockey standout in her hometown of Livonia, Michigan. There she played varsity hockey on the boys high school team, eventually earning a scholarship opportunity at powerhouse Minnesota Duluth.

In this episode of Everything Orange, McKenzie discusses her path back to the pool and how her unique journey has set her up for success at Tennessee and left her with Olympic-sized potential.

Under Karen Weekly's leadership, Tennessee Softball has become one of the nation's most consistent and successful programs. Karen's approach has not only empowered her athletes to thrive on the field, but her Lady Vols have also shone brightly through notable academic success and community involvement.

Karen's journey to coaching was an unusual one, working as a lawyer and professor before stepping into the role of co-head coach alongside her husband and Hall-of-Famer Ralph Weekly.

Over a 24-year tenure on Rocky Top, Karen has fortified the Lady Vols legacy by continuing to mentor and inspire those around her, much like Pat Summitt did for her upon Karen's arrival in Knoxville.
