Hall of Fame
In the first two years of his Kenyon career, Michael Bonomo transformed himself from a breaststroker to distance specialist. Within that short time, he went on to capture the title in the 1,650-yard freestyle at the 2000 NCAA Championship.
The amazing transition did not end there. Bonomo forged ahead to claim the 1,650-yard freestyle titles, in record time, at the next two NCAA Championships (2001 and 2002) and became the first swimmer in Kenyon history to win the grueling event for three straight seasons.
Overall, Bonomo was a ten-time NCAA All-American. He was the team's 1999 Carl A. Weiant Memorial Plaque winner and the 2000 Coach's Award winner. He was voted team captain his senior year and was the recipient of the team's 2002 Stephen E. Bennett Memorial Award.
