Tim Garrison will lead the Wildcats into his 12th season as head coach of the program after a very successful 2022 season. Kentucky is coming off of a historic stretch, finishing with a program-record score of 197.750 against Auburn, Georgia, and Southern Utah in the Auburn Regional semifinal during the spring.

The ‘Cats then fell short in the Auburn Regional final, placing third behind Auburn and Florida. Kentucky posted their first program win over Georgia in the 2022 season, a program-high team performance, and many personal bests for the ‘Cats.
