Bauerle to coach US swim team
It’s easy to forget sometimes that Mark Richt is one of the least-accomplished coaches in the UGA Athletic Association. That’s not a criticism of Richt; it’s a testament to the incredible coaching talent assembled in Athens. Yoculan, Diaz, Landers, Haack…it’s solid all around. But one of the best is Jack Bauerle who coaches swimming and diving. Bauerle’s excellence will be rewarded today when he is named as the coach for the United States women’s swimming team for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. It’s a big job, a lot of work, and a tremendous honor – one that is well-deserved. Many of Bauerle’s swimmers have participated in the Olympic Games, and now it’s his turn as coach.
