Bruno Barbic (Men's Swimming and Diving, 2006-07)
Bruno Barbic transferred to Northwestern as a junior in 2006 and earned one national championship, four Big Ten championships and nine All-America honors in just two years as a Wildcat.
Barbic spent his first two collegiate seasons at Washington, then came to Evanston where he anchored the best medley relay in the nation. Teamed with Matt Grevers, Kyle Bubolz and Mike Alexandrov, Barbic was part of the 2007 NCAA Champion 400 medley relay that finished in a then-NCAA record time of 3:04.40. He also earned All-America status with the 200 and 400 free relays, and individually had All-America results in the 50 and 100 freestyle events. That year he helped NU to a sixth-place national finish, its best in modern history.
Barbic won the 100 freestyle at the Big Ten Championships in 2007 while also touching first as the anchor leg of the conference champion 200 free, 200 medley and 400 medley relays.
In 2008, Barbic picked up four more All-America awards in the 50 free, 100 free, 200 free relay and 400 free relay. He graduated owning four Northwestern school records in addition to his NCAA mark in the 400 medley relay.
