“Auburn taught me the power of teamwork and becoming Auburn's greatest Olympian was possible because of the strength of the team I surrounded myself with, and to this day I still attribute my successes to the people around me,” said Coventry.

"I received such a well-rounded education at Auburn University that I've often been complemented as being an engineer and sometimes accused of being a lawyer,” said McWane. “I'm neither. I'm well rounded."
