Meghan Hawthorne<\/strong>, a USC All-American<\/a> medley swimmer who spent the past five seasons as an assistant coach on new Trojan head coach Jeremy Kipp\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> staffs at Boise State and Northwestern, is returning to Troy to join Kipp in the same capacity.<\/p>\n

Hawthorne, a 2012 Olympic Trials finalist and three-year U.S. national team member who graduated from USC in 2014, helped lead the 2020 Wildcat women to fourth at the Big Ten Championships (their best finish since 2022) while the men\u2019s team took fifth (its highest finish since 2007). Hawthorne helped guide Calypso Sheridan<\/strong> to titles in the 400y IM and 200y breast as she became NU’s first conference swimming champ since 2008. The programs combined for a 20-8 dual meet record while producing 20 All-Americans.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Hawthorne helped Sheridan earn two All-American honors while the swimmer also broke the Big Ten record in the 400y IM. The women finished 6-3, the men 6-8.<\/p>\n

At Boise State (2016-18), Meghan Hawthorne joined Kipp in leading the Broncos\u2019 women\u2019s team (they did not have a men\u2019s team) to Mountain West Conference titles in 2017 and 2018 after finishing second in 2016. The teams also produced more than 100 MWC All-Academic honorees and posted consecutive perfect 1,000 scores in the NCAA Academic Progress Report.<\/p>\n

A 2014 USC co-captain, Hawthorne was a two-time All-American in the 200y IM (2012-13), a six-time NCAA Championships point scorer, a four-time NCAA participant and a seven-time Pac-12 finalist. She was a part of two NCAA third-place finishes (2011-12) while Troy was seventh in 2013 and fifth in 2014.<\/p>\n

As a 2014 senior, she was an NCAA consolation finalist in both medleys. In 2013, she took eighth in the 200y IM and won the consolation final of the 400y IM. She was a career-best seventh in the 2012 NCAA 200y IM and took 12th in the 400y IM.<\/p>\n

Hawthorne helped lead USC to one second-place finish at the Pac-12 Championships (2013) and to three thirds (2011-12-14). She was a three-time Pac-12 finalist in the 200y and 400y IM (taking fourth twice in the latter) and once in the 200y breast.<\/p>\n

A USA Swimming National Team member from 2012-14, Hawthorne reached the final of the 400 IM at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials, taking sixth. She went 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

Meghan Hawthorne was a coach with Rattler Swim Club in San Fernando, Calif., from 2009-2015 and swam for the club from 2001-14. She also served as the assistant coach for the swim team at Viewpoint School in Calabasas.<\/p>\n

She graduated from USC in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in human biology and a minor in occupational science and earned her Masters in educational leadership from Boise State in 2018. Hawthorne’s high school honored her in February of 2017 by inducting her into the Chaminade College Preparatory (West Hills, Calif.) Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n
