Macalester College Athletics

Adam Burke is one of the most accomplished swimmers in the Macalester men’s program over the last 25–30 years and was an All-MIAC performer all four years as a Scot. Adam swam to NCAA Division III All-America status as a senior in both the 200-yard freestyle and 1650-yard freestyle, a rare double of sprint and long-distance achievement. Adam held Macalester school records at the same time in the 50-yard freestyle, 200 freestyle, 200 free, 500 free, 1000 free, and two decades later still tops the Macalester record book in freestyle distances of 200, 500, 1000 and 1650 yards. His 200 free time at the 1992 Nationals was the fifth fastest time in the nation that year.
