Stanford continued a tradition of dominating victories in the NCAA championships, scoring 599 points to win by more than 200 in Auburn, Ga. Stanford accomplished an unprecedented feat in collegiate swimming by having at least one top-eight finalist in each of the 18 events, and recorded 16 top-three finishes. Stanford's top swimmer was senior Tom Wilkens, who won all three of his individual events (400-yard individual medley, 200 breaststroke, and 200 IM), smashing school records and earning a personal total of 182.5 points -- the fourth-highest in school history.  Impressive swims were also made by Matthew Pierce (200 butterfly) and Tate Blahnik (200 back). Stanford won three of five relays, leading to another outstanding performance by the Cardinal on the national stage.

Coach Skip Kenney secured Stanford's seventh NCAA title with what he described as perhaps the best senior class in the history of the sport. The class of '94 scored 206 of Stanford's 566.5 points in Minneapolis, Minn. Besides winning five individual titles, three relay titles and five silver medals (including relays), Stanford established several records. The Cardinal set American, U.S Open, and NCAA records in the 200-yard freestyle and 400 medley relays, and smashed three Pac-10 and six Stanford marks. Brian Retter swam the fastest split in the history of the 200 free relay, and broke the American record in the 100 backstroke with a 45.74. Retter scored 55 points, the second-most in school history, but it was the depth of the team that allowed Stanford to pile up multiple points in every event. Stanford scored 102 from the 100 back and 100 breaststroke alone.

After an undefeated season (8-0) and a 12th consecutive Pac-10 championship, Skip Kenney's Stanford team went on to win its sixth national championship. The Cardinal swimmers won the NCAA's in a landslide, with three individual titles and three relay titles. The Cardinal scored 520.5 points to win by 124.5 over runner-up Michigan in Indianapolis, Ind. The Cardinal broke five Pac-10 individual records that season and broke two of its own conference relay marks. Later that year, eight Stanford swimmers competed for the Kenney-coached United States team that won the Pan Pacific Championships in Kobe, Japan.

Stanford shattered an NCAA-meet record by scoring 632 points on the way to a 276-point victory over runner-up Texas in Indianapolis, Ind. Stanford opened the championships with a record 200 points on the first day, winning four out of five events. Stanford would set seven American records, by four individuals and three relays. It was also the first time in NCAA history that a team won all five relay races. Stanford's Jeff Rouse, who went on to capture gold and silver at the 1992 Olympics, won three individual championships -- 100-yard backstroke (46.12), 200 back (1:40.64), and 200 individual medley (1:45.81) -- with American-record times. He also took part of the 200 and 400 medley and 400 free relays and was named NCAA Swimmer of the Year.

With seniors Pablo Morales and Jeff Kostoff, Stanford went on to win the national championship for the third year in a row.  The two combined for five individual titles to help Stanford to a 374-296 victory over runner-up USC in the NCAA Championships in Austin, Texas. Morales won the 100-yard butterfly, 200 fly and 200 individual medley, giving him 11 NCAA titles and placing him in the NCAA record books for most career NCAA individual championships. Kostoff won the 1650 freestyle and 400 IM, ending his career with five NCAA individual titles. The team was given depth by Anthony Mosse, Sean Murphy, Jay Mortenson and freshman John Witchell, who all scored important points for Stanford.

With most of the 1985 dream team remaining, Stanford captured its third NCAA title. With four Olympians -- Jeff Kostoff, John Morales, Pablo Morales, and Anthony Mosse -- Stanford won six of the 16 events and scored 404 points, to outdistance second-place California (335) in Indianapolis, Ind. Pablo Morales led Stanford, adding three more individual championship titles (and two more relay titles), leaving him tied with the great Mark Spitz with an NCAA-record eight individual titles. Kostoff also continued his previous year's success, setting an American record for the fourth consecutive year in winning the 1,650-yard freestyle. John Moffet won his fifth NCAA title, in the 200 breaststroke. Stanford also won the 400 medley relay. Divers Thor Johnson and Tom Rothenbucher helped Cardinal score key points for the championship.

Stanford won its first NCAA title under Skip Kenney and first overall since 1967. Led by Olympians Pablo Morales, John Moffet and Jeff  Kostoff, Stanford defeated Florida, the two-time defending champion, and home team Texas in what ended up being the most lopsided NCAA championship in eight years. Stanford won eight out of 16 swimming events, ending up with 403.5 points, 101.5 ahead of runner-up Florida. 1984 Olympic gold medalist Morales kept up his reputation as Swimming World Magazine's 1984 Male Swimmer of the Year, finishing as the NCAA high-point scorer (77.5 points). He also was a member of the record-breaking 400-yard medley relay team, and won titles in the 200 individual medley, 100 and 200 butterfly. Moffet won his specialties, the 100 and 200 breast. Kostoff won the 400 IM, setting an American and NCAA record of 3:46.54. Stanford also earned a first from freshman Sean Murphy in the 200 backstroke.

Stanford achieved its first NCAA championship, holding off USC, 275-260, in East Lansing, Mich. The Stanford was led in points by Greg Buckingham, Dick Roth, and Mike Wall. Buckingham won the 200- and 500-yard freestyle races earning NCAA and American records with times of 1:41.46 and 4:36.16, respectively.  Roth, a 1964 Olympic gold medalist, won the 200 and 400 individual medleys. Wall, who also racked up points in the 200, 500 and 1650 free, teamed up with Buckingham, Roth, and Pete Siebert to set the NCAA and American record for the 800 free relay with a time of 6:54.65.
