St. Bonaventure

Michal Bogacki spent just two years at St. Bonaventure after transferring from Monroe Community College, but he left an indelible mark on the Bonnies swim program. He captured 11 medals at Atlantic 10 Championships – six gold and five silver – and was key to the team winning the 2006 A-10 Championship.

He turned in what longtime head coach Sean McNamee described as the "best and toughest" night of competition he has ever witnessed, leading a huge swing that helped the Bonnies secure the 2006 team title. Bogacki was the A-10 champion in the 200-freestyle that year and also won gold with the 400-medley relay. In the final race of the meet, the Bonnies led by one point over UMass when Bogacki teamed with Alex Moniot, Roman Margulis and Patrick Doret to win the 400-free relay with a time of 3:03.49 and secure the conference crown.

Bogacki also won silver in the 100-free and 200-butterfly that year as well as in the 200-free relay.

The previous year, the Bonnies came up one spot short of an Atlantic 10 title when Bogacki took the individual title in the 200-free while also winning gold in the 200-free relay and 400-medley relay. He also won silver in the 200-fly and 400-free relay in his first year with the program.

A standout in the classroom as well, the native of Poland was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team in 2006.
