Gibbs, who is leaving to take a similar position at another NCAA institution, has led the Braves to five-straight top-30 appearances since taking over the program prior to the 2006-07 season. While at the helm of the Black & Gold, Gibbs mentored seven NCAA all-Americans and eight student-athletes to NWCA All-Academic Team accolades. In addition, 16 student-athletes made appearances at the NCAA Division II National Championships under Gibbs' watch.
As a team, the Braves flourished under Gibbs, churning out a 51-40 dual meet clip in five seasons, while also registering a slew of impressive finishes at distinguished tournaments, most notably a third-place honor at the Midwest Classic in December and a sixth-place finish at the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals in January. UNCP posted its best finish (T-17th) at the 2011 NCAA Division II National Championships after being ranked No. 11 in the final regular season national poll.
