Boise State swimming and diving head coach Jeremy Kipp<\/strong> announced Friday the addition of former USC All-American Meghan Hawthorne<\/strong> to the Bronco staff as assistant coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I thought about an inspirational woman to help lead our women’s program, Meghan Hawthorne was a natural fit. As an athlete, Meghan was committed and worked herself into the world class strata of athletics,\u201d Kipp said.\u00a0\u201cMeghan is proof positive that a strong will and positive attitude are more valuable than any level of talent. As a recruiter, Meghan is outgoing and her energetic personality is contagious and I expect our recruits to immediately connect with her.\u00a0She is a natural-born coach and I am ecstatic to be getting in on the ground floor of her collegiate coaching career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hawthorne graduated from USC in 2014 as a two-time All-American in the 200 IM (2012-13) and two-time All-America honorable mention in the 400 IM (2012-13). She was also a seven-time finalist at the Pac-10, then Pac-12, Championships, topping out with fourth-place efforts in the 400 IM in 2012 and 2013.<\/p>\n

USC finished in the top six of the NCAA team standings in each of her four years in Troy, with consecutive third-place finishes from 2011-12.<\/p>\n

Hawthorne was a USA Swimming National Team member from 2012-14, and in 2012 she reached the final of the 400 IM at the U.S. Olympic Trials but finished sixth, just missing a spot in London. She would go on to earn a silver medal in the same event for the U.S. at the 2013 World University Games in Kazan, Russia.<\/p>\n

Since 2009 Hawthorne has served as a coach with Rattler Swim Club in San Fernando, Calif., and swam for the club from 2001-14. As a coach, she worked with young swimmers from ages 7-18 on technique work and endurance training. She also served as the assistant coach for the swim team at Viewpoint School in Calabasas.<\/p>\n
