Auburn just won our 6th national championship in the past 7 years in Men's Swimming and Diving. This year was especially touching, as our head coach, the legendary Richard Quick, had to leave the team earlier in the season due to brain cancer. Quick was the head coach for legendary Olympic swimmers, such as Rowdy Gaines (commentator for NBC this past Olympics), Jenny Thompson, Steve Lundquist, and Summer Sanders. He took over the program after our previous coach, David Marsh, took over responsibilities at the U.S. Olympic Committee Center.

It goes without saying that this championship was dedicated to Coach Quick. As much pain that he has felt, I'm sure he has a smile on his face tonight.
