Bob Bowman now has someone to oversee the day-to-day operations of the new regime of Arizona State University swimming, hiring Tim Hochradel as the program\u2019s director of operations. <\/p>\n
When Hochradel officially begins work in July, the University of Michigan graduate will handle much of the administrative duties for the team, including arranging travel and acting as a liaison with the ASU athletic department. He\u2019ll also run the new summer swim camps and work with the elite postgrad team that so far includes Michael Phelps and Allison Schmitt. Much of his work will be familiar, as he served as program director at Michigan for six years. His work stood out so much that he was nominated as Michigan Swimming\u2019s Sportsman of the Year in 2013, the year the Michigan men\u2019s team would win the NCAA championship title.<\/p>\n
\u201cI first want to express my gratitude to Coach Mike Bottom and the rest of the team and coaching staff at Michigan,\u201d Hochradel said. \u201cTheir support, guidance, and mentorship has been a crucial part of my personal and professional development, and I will always be a proud (alumnus) of the University of Michigan and the swimming and diving program.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hochradel will be leaving his native Michigan, where he graduated from Milan High School as an All-State freestyler and runner on the school\u2019s cross country and track and field teams. Though he never swam on the Michigan team, he was an integral part of the program immediately as team manager, capturing race footage and handling the minutiae of the program\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n
Hochradel arrived in Ann Arbor a year after Bowman left the program at Michigan to return to Baltimore, so this will mark their first working experience together.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m excited and honored by the opportunity to work with Bob Bowman and the rest of the world class staff he is assembling in Tempe,\u201d Hochradel said. \u201cThe opportunity to work with these individuals and the team at ASU presents a new challenge which we are all very excited to take on. It is a great opportunity to reinvent this program to better serve the student-athletes with the ultimate goal of their development into well-rounded and world-ready adults. The support from the ASU administration for this mission is truly inspiring, as well as the support from the proud alumni base and the community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
