Under Lavery, Drexel has posted strong results in competition and in the classroom. In 2024-25, the men's team finished 8-0 in dual meets and placed third at the CAA Championships, and Lavery was recognized as the CAA Men's Co-Coach of the Year. The women went 6-1 in dual competition and finished sixth at the conference meet. Both teams also earned CSCAA Spring Team Scholar All-America honors, with the men tying Harvard for the second-highest GPA in Division I and the women recording the second-highest GPA in the CAA. Five Drexel swimmers received CSCAA Scholar All-America recognition that season.
