Tom Harvill
Swimming (1979-83)

Chico State featured a dominant swim program throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and no one symbolized that sort of dominance like Tom Harvill. A 20-time All-American, Tom helped lead the Wildcats to four straight Northern California Athletic Conference titles and four top-five national finishes. In his senior season, Tom won all three of his events at the NCAA national championship meet and was named the NCAA Division II “Swimmer of the Year.”   He graduated Cum Laude with a degree in mechanical engineering and later earned his master’s degree at Stanford in that same field of study.
