Brett Hawke released this statement in conjunction with this story.
"Every kid who wants to be a swimmer, this is what they dream of from a young age," Auburn head coach Brett Hawke said in a release. "Every four years, you wait for this, and now it's here. It's an exciting period to put yourself up against the best in the U.S. and take a team of individuals to try and get on that team."
