Quick, Hawke Guide Auburn to 2009 NCAA Men’s Swimming Championship!

The Auburn men’s swimming and diving program captured its eighth national championship in program history and gave head coach Richard Quick his record 13th national title in the sport, including his first at Auburn.  The Tigers finished the meet with 526 points, 39 ahead of second place Texas, coached by Eddie Reese. Quick, who is the first coach to win a national title at three schools, is battling an inoperable brain tumor that was diagnosed in December 2008. Quick was not in College Station for the championships, as the Tigers were directed by assistant Brett Hawke.  Hawke has led the program since Quick’s diagnosis.  Quick won seven national titles at Stanford and five at Texas to accompany his first at Auburn.
