John Naber became America ’s most decorated athlete at the 1976 Games in Montreal , winning four gold and one silver medal. He set four world records in swimming at those games, which lasted an amazing seven years after his retirement. He was also the first swimmer in history to win two individual Olympic medals on the same day of competition. In 1977, Naber led his school (USC Trojans) to his and their fourth undefeated season and national title, while earning a record 10 individual titles and five relay crowns. He also earned the sport’s high point award (Robert Kiputh Award) on three occasions, and earned the 1977 James E. Sullivan Award as America ’s top amateur athlete. Naber was inducted into four Halls of Fame, served as a board member on the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, and carried the Olympic Flag into the 1984 Opening Ceremonies in Los Angeles , and was selected to carry the Olympic Flame in three different Olympic Torch Relays.
