The Tigers men's swimming and diving team won its eighth national championship in College Station, Texas, late last night. Auburn finished with 526 points to Texas' 487. The Tigers trailed by six points heading into the final day but rallied for the win.

That's Auburn's sixth national title in the last seven years. The Tigers also have championships in 1997, '99 and from 2003-07.

The school's eight national titles are tied for fifth all time, behind Michigan (11), Ohio State (11), Southern California (9), Texas (9) and Stanford (9).

Coach Richard Quick, who was forced to take a leave from the team midseason after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, now has 13 national titles in his illustrious career, more than any other coach in NCAA swimming and diving history. He is the first coach to win national titles at three different schools, having won seven at Stanford and five at Texas. Quick was not in College Station, so the Tigers were led by assistant Brett Hawke.

Individually, Kohlton Norys and Matt Targett won four NCAA titles each. Norys took the team's lone individual title, winning the 100 backstroke. The Tigers won three relay titles.

Auburn set three U.S. Open, three NCAA and 17 school records at the meet.
