Delaware athletic director takes over the organization at a critical juncture, amid college sports turmoil and with the Los Angeles Olympics looming.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- USA Swimming named University of Delaware athletic director Chrissi Rawak as its new CEO and president on Wednesday. Rawak fills a role previously held by Tim Hinchey, who left the governing body of one of the biggest Olympic sports shortly after last year's Paris Games.

The move comes after a disappointing performance by the U.S. team at the Paris Olympics, with an eye towards Los Angeles 2028.

USA Swimming has hired Chrissi Rawak as President & CEO, bringing in a new head of the organization as it embarks on a critical quad culminating at the L.A. Olympics in three years.
