Colorado Springs, Colorado. – The Board of Governors of USA Swimming said Friday night that the Atlético de Delaware director Chrissi Rawak will not assume the role as CEO and president due to “unforeseen personal circumstances we learned at the end of this week.”
USA Swimming made the movement nine days after announcing Rawak's hiring. The governing body said Shana Ferguson remains interim CEO.
“While this result is not what we expected or expected, we maintain the greatest confidence in the strength of our organization, leadership team, staff and strategic direction,” said USA Swimming.
Rawak was ready to fill the place that Tim Fanchey, who left last year, shortly after the Paris Games.
Rawak was appointed Athletic Director of the Year in 2024 by a national advertisement group. He launched a fundraising campaign of $ 38 million for the construction of an installation of athletics department.
Before Delaware, Rawak was an executive in the Athletics Department of Michigan. He was also in Michigan's swimming and diving team and served as a program assistant from 1992 to 1997.
