For Immediate Release
GALLATIN, TN—Welch College Athletic Director Greg Fawbush has announced that Emma Guthrie has resigned as the volleyball coach for Welch. Coach Guthrie has coached the Lady Flames for the past four seasons. She was a four-year starter for the Lady Flames before she was hired as the head coach following her senior year.
“The Flames Volleyball program has shown great improvement under Coach Guthrie,” Coach Fawbush said. “Her leadership was demonstrated when she coached her first season during the pandemic. There were many obstacles that she was able to lead the players through during this difficult time. Coach Guthrie also made program history in her third season when she led the team to regional championship and first ever trip to the NCCAA national tournament.”
While at Welch Guthrie helped produce several all-regional volleyball players and an NCCAA DII player of the year. “Coach Guthrie has been a constant spiritual mentor to the team in the volleyball program,” Fawbush added. “She was a constant professional during her four years as a coach. Welch College has been blessed to have Emma as part of the athletic program for the past eight years as a player and coach. Coach Guthrie believes that God is opening up other ministry opportunities for her. The Welch College Athletic department looks forward to supporting her on her path.”
