Auburn Takes Title No. 8 - NCAA OFFICIAL ATHLETIC SITE
Auburn Takes Title No. 8 - NCAA OFFICIAL ATHLETIC SITE: "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, Saturday at the Texas A&M Student Recreation Natatorium.
Auburn finished the meet with 526 points, 39 ahead of second place Texas. The Tigers entered the Saturday's finals session six points behind the Longhorns, however a strong preliminary swim earlier in the day gave Auburn the upper hand entering the finals.
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 who has led the program since Quick's diagnosis."
