2016 US Olympic gold medalist Townley Haas shared the news of his engagement to fiance Megan Meseck via Instagram.
Townley Haas first represented the US international at the 2014 Jr. Pan Pacific Championships where he won gold in both the 200 freestyle (1:48.32) and the 4×200 freestyle relay along with Liam Egan, Blake Pieroni, and Andrew Seliskar.
The next year, Haas began his collegiate career swimming for the University of Texas. In his freshman year, Haas raced to a gold medal in the 200 and 500 freestyles. In the former, his 1:30.46 was fast enough to set a new pool, championships, American, and NCAA record in the event.
Coming off a stellar NCAA freshman season, Haas had somewhat of an international breakout at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Haas qualified for the team after breaking his 7th place seed in the 200 freestyle at Trials, winning the event over Conor Dwyer and Ryan Lochte, and qualifying to race the individual 200 and 4×200 relay in Rio. Haas went on the place 5th in the 200 freestyle with a 1:45.58. In the 4×200, however, Haas helped teammates Lochte, Dwyer, and Michael Phelps to win Olympic gold with a collective 7:00.66.
Following 2016, Haas returned to Texas for another 3 seasons and has represented the US internationally at the 2017 and 2019 World Championships along with the 2018 Pan Pacific Championships. Haas has amassed numerous medals both for Texas and the US throughout his career;

Haas and now fiance Meseck announce their engagement just weeks after celebrating their 5-year anniversary.
‘What keeps her busy / what’s her job ?’ in today’s world apparently is offensive and misogyny…. UNBELIEVABLE…. BTW congratulations to both of them, always a great news, especially in dark times like 2020.
Who literally cares? How about a “congratulations you two” and move on?
She fell in love with him for his interviews.
Such engagement. Very Love. Wow.
This comment section is as confusing as Townley’s regular season swims at Tejas.
this is a crowning moment in both of their lives and this is the comment section we give them?
I agree. Congratulations Townley and Megan !!
They deserve all our best wishes as well as a mention of what the prospective bride does, apart from adoring a worthy young man. I couldn’t quite read the embroidered inscription on her lab coat, so I appreciate the update.
And Townley is quite fortunate not only in his choice, but to have a loving fiancée/wife to cast professionally trained eyes and ears on any aches or pains! (So say the athletes I know partnered to nurses, doctors, etc.)
Back in the day, we used the term Haas in refer to someone who is a big dog… someone you didn’t want to mess with.
Do kids still use this term?
That’s “Hoss”. Was derived from “horse”. Also the nickname for Corey Harrison, of Pawn Stars fame, with a “Big” in front of it.
Could also be “Hoss” from “Hoss Cartwright” from the “old western” “Bonanza” for us over 65😄!!
Bro…. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.urbandictionary.com/define.php%3fterm=hass&=true
You’ve now spelled it a 3rd different way.
That’s also one of the worst UD entries I’ve ever read.
this is the most stupid comment i’ve ever seen on swimswam
You must be new here.
