He swam at the University of California and Michigan in college, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/american-olympian-patrick-callan-announces-retirement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">retiring in April<\/a> after completing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/patrick-callan-to-compete-for-national-champion-cal-bears-in-fifth-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his fifth year with the Golden Bears<\/a>. He\u2019s adding another prime college swimming destination to his list of home bases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very excited to join the Auburn Swimming and Diving family,\u201d Callan said <a href=\"https:\/\/auburntigers.com\/news\/2023\/7\/7\/swimming-diving-swim-and-dive-adds-olympian-patrick-callan-to-coaching-staff.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a university press release<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s an unbelievable opportunity to be a part of the program that coach Wochomurka is building, and I\u2019m grateful to be a part of his vision for Auburn. I\u2019m looking forward to using my experience to help make this program better. War Eagle!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Callan was part of the American men\u2019s 800 free relay at the Tokyo Olympics, swimming in prelims for a squad that finished fourth. He\u2019s been a staple on national teams since his junior years.<\/p>\n<p>A nine-time All-American and three-time All-Big Ten selection, Callan was a part of 800 free relays that won Big Ten titles twice at Michigan. He also was part of a Cal relay that won bronze at NCAAs this year. He was also a two-time Academic All-Big Ten and a two-time Michigan Athletic Achievement Award winner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited to welcome Patrick to the Auburn Family,\u201d Auburn head coach <strong>Ryan Wochomurka<\/strong> said. \u201cI know he is eager to share his experience in competing at the highest levels both at NCAAs and Internationally with our program. He\u2019s had a great opportunity to learn from some of the greatest minds in our sport at Michigan and Cal. He was a workhorse as an athlete and I look forward to him bringing that discipline, dedication and tireless work ethic to the other side of the pool deck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Callan graduated from Michigan in 2022 and did graduate studies at Cal. He\u2019s a native of Tulsa, Okla.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olympian Patrick Callan Joins Coaching Staff at Auburn Recently retired Olympic swimmer Patrick Callan is beginning his foray into coaching at the college level on staff at Auburn, the school<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8367,"featured_media":500990,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6],"tags":[61651,122266,1817,49564,11341,46364],"class_list":["post-532008","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-college","tag-2020-tokyo-olympics","tag-2021-olympics","tag-auburn","tag-patrick-callan","tag-ryan-wochomurka","tag-sec-swimming"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
