Career

[edit]

McGill attended Champaign Central High School in Champaign, Illinois. McGill attended Auburn University, and competed for the Auburn Tigers swimming and diving team under head coach Brett Hawke from 2007 to 2010. During his four years of college swimming, he won NCAA championships in the 4x100-yard freestyle relay and the 4×100-yard medley relay, and an SEC championship in the 4x200-yard freestyle relay.[1]

At the 2009 U.S. Nationals and World Championship Trials, McGill placed second to Michael Phelps in the 100-meter butterfly with a time of 51.06, earning a place to compete at the 2009 World Aquatics Championships in Rome.[2][3] At the World Championships, McGill placed seventh in the 100-meter butterfly with a time of 51.42.[4][5] He also competed in the 50-meter butterfly and placed 36th in 23.93.[6] McGill swam in the preliminaries of the 4×100-meter medley relay for the U.S. team, which advanced to the final and won the gold medal.[7][8]

At the 2011 World Aquatics Championships in Shanghai, China, McGill won a bronze medal in the 100-meter butterfly, finishing behind Michael Phelps and Konrad Czerniak.[9] On the last day of competition, McGill won a gold medal in the 4×100-meter medley relay for his contributions in the heats.

At the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha, Nebraska, the qualifying meet for the U.S. Olympic team, McGill placed second in the 100-meter butterfly event with a time of 51.32 seconds, just behind Michael Phelps and just ahead of Ryan Lochte. At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, McGill placed sixth the 100-meter butterfly, and earned a gold medal by swimming in the preliminaries for the winning U.S. team in the 4×100-meter medley relay.
