May 30, 2024

The most decorated swimmer in USC history, John Naber captured 10 individual NCAA titles during his collegiate career, the second-most in collegiate history, while also leading the Trojans to four-straight NCAA team titles. Equally strong in the classroom as the pool, Naber was a NCAA Today’s Top Five recipient in 1978 and a NCAA Silver Anniversary Award recipient in 2002. On the international stage, Naber was the most decorated athlete for Team USA at the 1976 Olympics with four gold medals and one silver, setting four world records in the process. The following year, he won the Sullivan Award as America’s Top Amateur Athlete and later served as a flag bearer during the 1984 Olympic games.
