No student-athlete started their career in a finer fashion that Temple swimmer Steve Smutny (1982-86). The Owl won gold in five events (200 Butterfly, 200 Medley, 400 Medley, 400 Medley Relay, 800 Freestyle Relay) to earn Atlantic 10 Conference Swimmer of the Year and help the team upset West Virginia to capture the A10 Championship. He would go on to win the 200-yard butterfly at the A10 Championships all four years. The only Temple swimmer to compete at three NCAA Championships, he placed 18th in the 200-yard butterfly at the 1986 NCAA Championships, missing All-America honors by two one-hundredths of a second. Over his career, he won 11 conference titles while setting six conference records.
