At the time of hire at EIU, McGill became the youngest head coach in Division I collegiate swimming (25).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am incredibly humbled for the opportunity to join the women&#8217;s swim and dive team at the University of Illinois,&#8221; McGill said. &#8220;This is a great group of women and I could not be more grateful to have been given this chance. There is obviously a lot of excitement within the athletic department behind\u00a0<strong>Josh Whitman&#8217;s<\/strong> leadership. The opportunity to become a part of the new era of U of I athletics and work at one of the best universities in the world was very appealing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 2009 graduate of EIU earned second-team All-Summit League honors during his time in Charleston and received both his undergraduate and master&#8217;s degrees from the university.<\/p>\n<p>McGill has three siblings, <strong>Tyler<\/strong>, <strong>Colin<\/strong> and <strong>Sarah<\/strong>. Tyler, who works as the Assistant Swim Coach at Auburn University, was a member of the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team and earned a gold medal, swimming a leg on the fastest 4&#215;100-meter relay team in London. Colin was a member of the EIU swim team from 2009-2014, earning All-Summit League honors three times under the coaching of his brother.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m looking forward to bringing some fresh ideas to the team and incorporating my training philosophies into Sue&#8217;s vision. From technique to training to racing, I really want to raise expectations and help the program and women rise to the national level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Press release courtesy of Illini Swimming and Diving.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Illinois head swimming coach\u00a0Sue Novitsky\u00a0has announced the hiring of\u00a0Elliott McGill\u00a0as assistant coach.
