USA Swimming continued its leadership makeover with a major move, tabbing Stanford women’s coach Greg Meehan to be its next national team managing director. In that role, Meehan will be the staff member most directly responsible for the U.S.’s in-pool performance in international competition.
The hiring of Meehan should help calm the waters and fill a leadership void as USA Swimming continues its search for a new CEO. The organization announced Delaware athletic director Chrissi Rawak for that role in February, then abruptly rescinded the offer after a SafeSport claim was filed against Rawak pertaining to her days as an assistant swim coach at Michigan in the 1990s.
