The uneven bars have been a strength for Stanford under Swircek, with seven Pac-10/12 champions, nine NCAA Regional champs, 22 All-American honors, one national champion - 2010 winner Carly Janiga - and two NCAA runner-ups.

In addition, Stanford has had 10 All-Americans and six regional champions on vault in that span, including 2015 NCAA champion Elizabeth Price.

Stanford had four All-Americans on bars and one on vault in 2015.

Swircek has been vital in helping the Cardinal to four top-four national finishes, six Super Six appearances and three Pac-10/12 titles.

The 2007 NCAA regional assistant coach of the year, Swircek joined the Stanford staff after coaching at the West Valley Gymnastics Club, a National-Team Training Center in Campbell, Calif., for seven years. There, he tutored four Junior Olympic national champions and 15 members of the TOP national team, and led his 2003 Level-10 squad to the state championships.

Swircek, a native of Omaha, Neb., competed on the men's gymnastics team at San Jose State, graduating with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice in 1993. He served as an undergraduate assistant for the Spartans' men in 1994.
