Tricia Cuti was central to the best run of success in Bonnies women's swim and dive history, serving as a key to the program's Atlantic 10 championship three-peat from 1996-98.
At her debut Atlantic 10 Championship meet in 1995, Cuti became the first A-10 Most Outstanding Rookie Performer in program history, an honor that today she shares only with two other Bonnies. She won gold twice that year with conference championship wins in both the 100 and 200-butterfly. For her efforts, she was named the 1995 St. Bonaventure Female Athlete of the Year. She also qualified for U.S. Senior Nationals, placing 17th in the 200-meter butterfly, and was a member of the 800-meter freestyle relay that placed eighth at U.S. Senior Nationals.
A year later, she medaled in two individual events with a silver in the 200-fly and a bronze in the 100-fly as the Bonnies won the Atlantic 10 Championship for the first time.
Cuti helped the Bonnies repeat as champs her junior year, capturing gold in the 100 and 200-fly and silver in the 500-freestyle.
Cuti and her Bonnies teammates made it three straight conference crowns in 1998 as she won gold in the 200-fly and bronze in both the 100-fly and 500-free. Upon graduating, she held four school record times.
She was also a three-time selection to the Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team.
