Brett Hawke, is in his ninth season guiding Auburn's program in 2016-17, measures up. Consider the following. He is a - Two-time Olympian - Three-time Olympic coach - Nine-time NCAA Champion - National Championship-winning coach Hawke, who swam at Auburn from 1996-2000 and was a part of two National Championship-winning teams, has guided Auburn's men and women to a top-10 finish ten times while also developing some of the fastest talent in the nation and the world. Under Hawke's watch Auburn has won 11 NCAA individual championships, 62 individual SEC titles and has racked up 393 All-America honors. In addition, 14 Olympians have trained under him at Auburn. During the most recent Olympic Games, the XXXI Olympiad in Rio in the summer of 2016, Hawke's program saw 10 swimmers participate on the world's biggest stage. As an assistant coach for the host nation, he oversaw the Brazilian sprinters, which included former Auburn national champion Marcelo Chierighini, who would swim in three finals. Earlier in the year, Auburn's men's team would make a run at the 2016 SEC Championship but come up just shy of its fifth conference title under Hawke. The team captured six titles during the meet, with junior Michael Duderstadt sweeping the breaststroke events and classmate Joe Patching winning the 200 IM and the 200 backstroke. Hawke guided Auburn to a ninth-place finish at the 2015 NCAA Men's Championshps, the 32nd top-10 finish in 41 appearances for Auburn. The team picked up a total of 28 All-America honors, including seven by Kyle Darmody. The women finished 18th at the national championships, picking up 19 All-America honors. At the 2015 SEC Championships, Auburn's men finished third and the women sixth. Hawke led the Auburn men to a sixth-place finish at the 2014 NCAA Championships, including guiding the Tigers' 400 freestyle relay to a NCAA title. He also coached the Auburn women to another top-15 finish at the NCAA Championships and 12 All-America honors. At the 2014 SEC Championships, Hawke coached Marcelo Chierighini to his third straight SEC title in the 100 freestyle along. The Tigers won three out of five relay titles at the conference meet and another individual championship in the 100 backstroke from Kyle Darmody. During the 2013 season, Hawke led the Tigers to another top-five finish at the Southeastern Conference championships as the men pulled in a runner-up finish and the women came in fifth. He also coached up 10 All-Americans for the year including the NCAA champion in the 100 butterfly, Olivia Scott. 10 individual SEC titles were claimed during the 2012-13 season with four coming on the final day. Chierighini won both the 50 and 100 free titles, while Zane Grothe endured the 1,650 freestyle for the conference title, his second of his collegiate career. In 2012, Hawke was named SEC Men's Coach of the Year for the first time, helped the Tigers win their 16th consecutive SEC title, holding off Florida for the championship once again. For just the second time ever, Auburn won all five men's relays at the SEC Championships, and the Tigers got three individual titles - two from Kyle Owens and one from Marcelo Chierighini - to clinch the victory. While Auburn's women finished fourth, the Tigers still won two relay titles and an individual championship as Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace won the 50 free for the second straight year. In addition, Vanderpool-Wallace lowered her own NCAA record in the 100 free, clocking a 46.61 in a relay leadoff split. At the 2012 NCAA Championships, Hawke led the Auburn women to a tie for seventh place and also saw Vanderpool-Wallace defend her national title in the 100 freestyle. The Auburn men finished sixth at the national meet. Having coached Vanderpool-Wallace for four seasons at Auburn, Hawke was selected to coach her as the Bahamas national team coach for the 2012 London Olympic Games. He helped lead Vanderpool-Wallace to the finals of the women's 50 freestyle, where she finished eighth, making her the first Bahamian to ever advance past the preliminary rounds at the Olympics. Hawke's Tigers kept their men's SEC championship streak alive in 2011, capturing the program's 15th consecutive conference championship and 17th overall in winning a tight meet with the host Florida Gators. In the men's championship meet, Auburn athletes won five individual titles and two relays, while the Tiger women took two individual titles and three relays en route to a third-place finish. Under Hawke's guidance, junior Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace broke an NCAA and U.S. Open record in the 100 freestyle with a 46.81 at the SEC Championships; she would later win a national title in both that event and the 50 freestyle, becoming the first Auburn woman to capture an NCAA Championship in those events. During his first full season as head coach, Hawke led the men's program to its 16th SEC title and its record 14th-straight conference championship in 2010. During the 2010 conference meet, Auburn swimmers recorded seven individual titles and five relay titles. Under Hawke's direction as co-head coach in 2009, the Auburn men came away with their eighth national title, capturing the 2009 Men's Swimming and Diving NCAA Championship. During the three-day event, Auburn recorded 54 All-America honors and had one individual and four relay champions. The Tigers also set three US Open, three NCAA and 17 school records en route to the title. Hawke returned to The Plains in the summer of 2006 as an assistant coach for the program. Hawke, a native of Sydney, Australia, was a 17-time All-American swimmer for Auburn from 1997 to 1999. As a member of the coaching staff, Hawke works directly with the Auburn sprinters. Under his direction, Cesar Cielo provided one of the top highlights from the 2008 NCAA Championships as he became the fastest swimmer in the world with his 18.47 in the 50 free. What made the mark even more impressive was not that he did it once, but he reached the mark three times. He won the 50 free with a time of 18.52 after qualifying with an 18.79 in the preliminary. His time of 18.47 came as the 200 free relay leadoff. In all, Auburn sprinters won six All-America honors with Cielo sweeping the 50 and 100 freestyle titles in 2008. He also became the first swimmer to break the 41-second barrier in the 100 free with a 40.92. For his efforts, Cielo was named the NCAA Swimmer of the Year for the second year in a row. Hawke has also seen additional coaching success at the international level. He served as an assistant coach for the United States team at the 2011 World University Games, helping lead the Americans to 27 medals at the event. During the 2009 World Championships, Hawke served as an assistant coach with the Brazilian national team and coached Cielo to two gold medals in the 50 and 100 freestyles. Cielo became the fastest swimmer in the world in the 100 free when he touched the wall in 46.91. Other Tiger sprinters medaling at the championships were Fred Bousquet (silver - 50 free, bronze - 100 free, 4x100 free relay) and Matt Targett (silver - 50 fly, bronze - 4x100 medley relay). Hawke also had the opportunity to coach Cielo at the 2008 Olympic Games. Serving once again as an assistant coach with the Brazilian national team, Hawke mentored the South American star as he won a bronze in the 100m free and a gold in the 50m free with an Olympic record time of 21.30. Other Auburn sprinters trained by Hawke at the 2008 Olympics included Matt Targett, Fred Bousquet, Jakob Andkjaer and Alexei Puninski. Targett and Bousquet both brought home medals after their performance on relay teams. Auburn sprinters overall were very impressive at the 2007 NCAAs with 13 swimmers advancing to finals. In the men's 50 free, Auburn took the top two spots with Cielo taking the title and Targett right behind him. Scott Goodrich and Bryan Lundquist also made the championship final. In the women's 50 free, it was Kara Denby leading the team in eighth. In the 100 free, Cielo picked up another NCAA Championship with a time of 41.17 and Targett followed in sixth place. In the women's 100 free, it was Denby again leading the team in fourth place, followed by Emily Kukors in fifth. During his time as a swimmer in Auburn, Hawke captured nine NCAA titles to go along with seven SEC crowns. In 1997, Hawke became part of Auburn history as he was a member of the first NCAA Championship team. At the 1997 NCAA meet, Hawke won four titles, including one as part of the 200 medley relay team that set a new U.S. Open and NCAA record. At the same meet, Hawke claimed Auburn's second ever 50m free title. He duplicated the relay performance the following year with the medley relay team that took the crown in a NCAA meet, NCAA and U.S. Open record time. In 1999, Hawke helped lead the Tigers to their second NCAA team title en route to capturing four titles of his own at the meet. During his three years as a student-athlete, Hawke was also part of three SEC team championships. A two-time Olympian, Hawke finished sixth in the 50m free in Athens. Hawke has three Commonwealth Games medals in his collection, including silver in the 50m free from 2002. Adding to his long list of international experience, in 2001 and 2003, Hawke was a World Championship finalist in the 50m free and at the 2002 Pan Pacific Championships, Hawke won bronze in the 50m free. A five-time Australian champion, Hawke is the former Australian record holder in the 50m free with a time of 22.07 that he set at the 2004 Olympic Games in the semifinal round. Hawke is married to the former Trudi James and the couple have four children: Kirra, Kobe and twins Yasmin and Lily. His wife, Trudi, was a member of the Auburn University soccer team from 1994-97. Hawke earned his bachelor's degree in psychology in the summer of 2010.

Hancock is in her second year as the associate women's head coach at Auburn after being hired in the summer of 2015. Along with her duties with the women's team, she oversees Auburn's middle distance group. In her first year on the Plains, Hancock had an immediate impact on the program. Eight current women's team members advanced to the USA Swimming Olympic Trials, with Annie Lazor swimming in the finals of the 200 breaststroke. She also coached Carlos Martinez to an Olympic spot, accompanying him to Rio as part of the Guatemalan coaching designation. Hancock joined the Auburn staff after serving as the head coach at Conejo Simi Swim Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif., since 2010. During her tenure, she trained three U.S. Olympic Trials qualifiers, seven U.S. National qualifiers and 13 U.S. Junior Nationals qualifiers. During her time with the club, Hancock oversaw 11 assistants and three different training sites. Conejo Simi Swim Club also earned a Silver Medal designation from USA Swimming in 2015 while the club was recognized with Bronze Medal designation in 2014. Before taking over as head coach at Conejo Simi, Hancock served as the head age group coach from 2008-10, training multiple Junior Olympic qualifiers. A four-year letterwinner at Duke, Hancock graduated in 2004 with a degree in sociology. She was a team captain for the Blue Devils during the 2003-04 season, setting school records in the 100 fly and 200 medley relay.

McGill is currently in his third season as an assistant coach at his alma mater. A 2010 Auburn graduate, McGill joined the Auburn staff prior to the 2013-14 season. McGill was also a gold medalist at the 2012 Summer Olympics in Londonby swimming in the preliminaries for the winning U.S. team in the 4x100-meter medley relay. He also placed sixth in the 100-meter butterfly at the same Olympics after earning the second-fastest time (51.32) at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials. McGill is the Auburn record-holder in the 100 fly (long course and short course) with a time of 44.63 and he wrapped up his competition career last week at the U.S. Open with bronze medals in the 100 fly and 50 free. "I'm excited to make the transition from being in the water every day to being on deck and helping out," McGill said. "This is a place that I know and love. To be able to represent Auburn as a coach now is an honor. It's certainly a challenge that I'm looking forward to, but I couldn't be happier to be representing my alma mater and a great university." Throughout his four years as a swimmer for Auburn, McGill not only racked up the All-America honors, but he also was a two-time NCAA champion (400 FR, 400 MR) and an SEC champion (800 FR). His senior season alone accounted for five All-America honors (200 FR, 200 IM, 400 MR, 200 MR, 100 Fly), and he had five top-10 individual times on the Auburn squad during that season. McGill had the fastest time on the team in the 100 (46.00) and 200 fly (1:44.04), as well as the 200 IM (1:44.40) in his final collegiate year. He was also the fifth-fastest Tiger swimmer in the 200 free (1:37.34) and 10-best in the 100 back (48.96), all giving him the cut time needed to compete in the NCAA Championships. The Illinois native earned his first trip to the FINA World Championships in 2009, where he finished seventh in the 100m fly (51.42) and also swam in the 50m fly. At the USA Nationals in that same year, McGill placed second in the 100m fly (51.06), which gave him the spot at Worlds. McGill made a return trip to the World Championships in 2011, where he won a bronze medal in the 100m fly, his first individual medal in world competition. "Tyler has always been an incredible athlete," Auburn head coach Brett Hawke said. "He's always had an uncanny ability to relate to the student-athletes, so I recognized that early in his career. Even from the moment he was a freshman here, he was inspiring the older athletes. I think he's going to be great in terms of transferring the information and skills across to the next generation of athletes. They'll buy in to what he's selling because he's such a believable athlete. He's just a good person to have around." As a junior at Auburn, McGill earned six of his 15 All-America honors and was a member of the national champion 400 medley relay squad that finished in 3:01.39, a new NCAA record. He also finished runner-up in the 100 fly in 44.63, after swimming a school-record 44.67 in prelims. At the SEC Championships in 2009, McGill was a member of the 800 free relay team that took home first place in a school-record time of 6:18.15. He also was runner-up in the 200 IM in an Auburn-record time of 1:43.39. Back in high school, McGill attended Champaign Central and swam for Storm Aquatics under coach Will Barker, where he was a twelve-time All-American and the Swimmer of the Year for Illinois Swimming Inc. He was also a three-time state champion and holds the Central High School record in two events. McGill is married to the former Julianne McLane, a former Auburn swimmer, and the couple has a daughter, Ameila.

A 2000 graduate of Auburn, Quevedo was a butterfly and freestyle swimmer from the country of Venezuela and was a member of the 1999 national championship team, Auburn's second ever championship team. In his final collegiate year, Quevedo was the third leg of the 200 freestyle relay (1:25.14) that set the U.S. Open and NCAA record at the time, a record that stood for four years. Quevedo was also a major swimmer on the international level, swimming for his home country from 1987-2004, including in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, competing in the 400 freestyle relay and 100 butterfly. At the 2000 South American Championships, he won the 50m and 100m butterfly events and then defended the title in the 100m fly in the 2002 edition of the championships. Quevedo is the current masters long-course world record-holder for the 50m fly (24.15) set back in 2009. He also has two Pan-American Games medals in his international award collection. Before his hire, Quevedo had coached on both the club and high school levels and was the head coach of National Training Center Aquatics in Clermont, Fla. While coaching for NTCA, he developed multiple senior and junior national qualifiers and also produced numerous swimmers who were ranked nationally in Age Group Swimming.
