Hall of Fame
One of the most-driven athletes to ever dive into the Lamade Gym Natatorium, Steve Hawley wrapped up his career with a school-record six MAC titles and five school records. Hawley notched three MAC titles at the 2004 championships, posting wins in the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard backstroke, as well as serving as the first leg in the school-record setting 200-yard freestyle relay. He followed that with titles in the 50-free and 100-back as a junior and made it a three-peat in the 50-free as a senior. The decorated career didn’t stop there, as Hawley was named the MAC Scholar Athlete in swimming as a senior and he became just the sixth student-athlete in school history to earn First Team Capital One Academic All-American honors in 2006. He was also a two-time CSCAA Scholar All American and a three-time member of the MAC Academic Honor Roll. Outside the pool, Hawley was just as purposeful, serving as the school’s valedictorian in 2006, as well as earning the 2005 IRUSKA Honor Society Award. After Lycoming, Hawley moved on to the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, finishing his degree in 2010.
