But she was in a unique position compared to other swimmers who competed after her: Back then, swimmers weren\u2019t limited to the number of individual events they could swim. That changed in 1987 when NCAA rules stated that swimmers would be limited to three individual events and four relays or two individuals and all five relays.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, Caulkins only swam three years of college instead of four, forgoing her senior year and retiring after the 1984 Olympics in pursuit of completing her schooling\u2014she earned her bachelor\u2019s degree in broadcasting in 1985.<\/p>\n<p>Tracy Caulkins was often referred to as one of the greatest female swimmers of all time, but she was only able to compete in one Olympics, where she won three gold medals. The U.S. boycott the Games in 1980, and Caulkins retired from the sport after the \u201984 Games at the age of 21.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">NATALIE COUGHLIN, CAL (11)<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">100 back 2001-02-03-04; 200 back 2001-02-03; 100 fly 2001-02-03-04 (also swam on one winning relay)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Natalie Coughlin was near perfect in her NCAA career, winning 11 of a possible 12 NCAA individual titles in her four years at Cal-Berkeley from 2001-04. She won four titles in the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke, and three in the 200 back.<\/p>\n<p>In her freshman season, she secured two of her three wins over Olympic gold medalists. In the 100 yard fly, she upset Stanford\u2019s Misty Hyman to set an NCAA record at 51.18. In the 100 back, she bested Hyman again and future Olympian Haley Cope for an American record of 51.23. In the 200 back, Coughlin bested 1996 Olympic gold medalist Beth Botsford of Arizona by four-and-a-half seconds to take nearly two seconds off the American record with a 1:51.02.<\/p>\n<p>Her three NCAA records (she just missed Jenny Thompson\u2019s 100 fly American mark of 51.07 set in 1998) landed her on the cover of Swimming World (May 2001) and launched herself as a household name. She had also been an excellent high school swimmer (SW\u2019s Female High School Swimmer of the Year, 1998), but she took that next step in her rookie year of college.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>PABLO MORALES, STANFORD (11)<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">100 fly 1984-85-86-87; 200 fly 1984-85-86-87; 200 IM 1985-86-87 (also swam on three winning relays)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Stanford\u2019s Pablo Morales is officially the winningest male swimmer in NCAA Division I history with 11 individual titles from 1984-87. John Naber had held that distinction after the 1977 season with 10 wins, but Morales passed him after taking Titles #9, 10 and 11 at the 1987 NCAAs at Texas.<\/p>\n<p>He swept all four years of the 100 and 200 butterfly, and won three titles in the 200 IM during his sophomore, junior and senior seasons. However, as a freshman, Morales, swimming in his very first college championship finals, finished fourth in the medley (1:48.08), albeit only 13-hundredths off Ricardo Prado\u2019s (SMU) winning time of 1:47.95.<\/p>\n<p>Two days later at that 1984 meet, Morales held off Prado in the 200 butterfly (in which Prado was the defending champ) by 1-tenth of a second, 1:44.33 to 1:44.43. On the meet\u2019s middle day, Morales clocked an American record in the 100 fly (47.02).<\/p>\n<p>Not only did Pablo Morales become the winningest NCAA Division I male swimmer in history with 11 individual titles, but he also was a member of five NCAA championship teams at Stanford\u2014three in swimming (1985-87) and two in water polo (1985-86).<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">JOHN NABER, USC (10)<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">500 free 1974-75; 100 back 1974-75-76-77; 200 back 1974-75-76-77 (also swam on five winning relays)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>USC\u2019s John Naber had held the record for most NCAA D-I individual titles for a decade after he won 10 from 1974-77, sweeping the 100 and 200 back all four years, as well as earning two wins in the 500 free.<\/p>\n<p>As a freshman in 1974, Naber swam his first college championship final in the meet\u2019s first race, the 500 free. All he did was upset Indiana\u2019s John Kinsella, the American record holder (4:24.49), who was vying for his fourth consecutive title. Naber won in 4:26.85; Kinsella finished sixth in 4:33.69.<\/p>\n<p>It was an auspicious start for the Trojans\u2014and a not-so-welcome start for the Hoosiers. By meet\u2019s end, USC beat Indiana by one point to put a halt to IU\u2019s six-year winning streak.<\/p>\n<p>Naber would go on to win the 100 and 200 backstrokes, both in American record time (50.51, 1:48.95), as the Trojans celebrated their first national title in eight years.<\/p>\n<p>While John Naber was at USC, winning 10 individual titles and four team championships, he also competed at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, where he won four gold medals\u2014all in world-record time\u2014and one silver medal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">To read more about Tracy Caulkins, Natalie Coughlin, Pablo Morales, and John Naber,<br \/>\n<a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-march-2021-issue-pdf-only\">Click here to download the complete March 2021 issue, available now!<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2021\/swimming-world-magazine-march-2021-issue-pdf-only\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"463378\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-march-2021-shaine-casas-the-texas-am-swimmer-has-people-wondering-who-is-this-guy\/swimming-world-march-2021-shane-casas-cover\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1070\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Swimming World March 2021 &#8211; Shane Casas &#8211; COVER\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Swimming World March 2021 &#8211; Shane Casas &#8211; COVER&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-766x1024.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-463378 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER.jpg\" alt=\"Swimming World March 2021 - Shane Casas - COVER\" width=\"800\" height=\"1070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-300x401.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-450x602.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-673x900.jpg 673w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-245x327.jpg 245w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swimming-World-March-2021-Shane-Casas-COVER-533x713.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>[PHOTO CREDIT: CONNOR TRIMBLE]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Get <em>Swimming World Magazine<\/em> and <em>Swimming World Biweekly<\/em> FREE When You<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/join\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product-category\/ishof-membership\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1522345712821000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGfwbLD2OaI21g28efcR0DZZlQSOQ\"><em>Become A Member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product\/30-day-digital-membership-to-ishof-with-swimming-world-subscription-download-current-swimming-world-biweekly-and-technique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New!
