Men's Swimming & Diving - NCAA Championships (1)
1982
UCLA's 400-yard freestyle relay team set an American record in the final event of the 1982 NCAA championships to give the school its first men's swimming and diving title. The Bruins entered the relay in first place, but needed to finish ahead of second-place Texas to hold off the Longhorns. UCLA's quartet of Bill Barrett, Chris Silva, Stu MacDonald and Robin Leamy did so in impressive fashion, breaking the American mark it had set in the preliminaries earlier in the day. Leamy won the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events in addition to anchoring the relay. Barrett bettered his own American record while winning the 200-yard individual medley for the third consecutive year.
