On The Cover

From the opening event—the 800 freestyle relay—of the 2016 NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships, Georgia was firing on all cylinders en route to winning its third team title in the last four years. The Lady Bulldogs won the relay by two seconds, captured three individual races—including the 50 (NCAA, American and U.S. Open record) and 100 free by Olivia Smoliga and the 200 free by Brittany MacLean— and scored in all 21 events but two (100 breast and platform diving).

014 TOP 9 OLYMPIC UPSETS: #3 FELIPE MUÑOZ: GOLD FOR MEXICO
by Chuck Warner
Racing for a medal at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City seemed far-fetched, with the USA, Australia, Soviet Union and Germany expected to dominate. Yet hometown hero Felipe Muñoz, swimming just 10 blocks from his home, somehow out-touched the world record holder from Russia, Vladimir Kosinsky, to win Mexico’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in swimming.

016 TOO EASY II
by David Rieder and Michael J. Stott
After Texas dominated last year’s men’s NCAAs with a 129-point margin of victory, Swimming World Magazine ran the following headline in its May issue: “Too Easy.” This year’s meet proved to be even easier for Texas, as the Longhorns won by nearly 200 points, giving Coach Eddie Reese his 12th team championship and making him the winningest NCAA Division I coach in men’s swimming and diving history.

024 DAWG DAZE
by Annie Grevers
On paper, Georgia looked to finish no better than fourth place, 100 points behind Cal, last year’s women’s NCAA champs. However, in the pool, the competition was quickly bedazzled by the Bulldogs’ brilliance, as Coach Jack Bauerle’s bunch won their seventh national title.

by Annie Grevers
Breeja Larson first became interested in swimming when she was in eighth grade. But it wasn’t until she was 17 that she first began to take the sport seriously. Then, just three years later, she found herself at the U.S. Olympic Trials taking on world record holders Rebecca Soni and Jessica Hardy. Defying the odds, she made the team…and went on to earn an Olympic gold medal in London.
