Jim Swanson '92 was a prolific golfer during his four-year career, one of several to don the Blue and Gold amidst the program's heyday in the '80s and '90s. Swanson's standout resume includes four All-NCAC awards, including first-team nods in 1991 and 1992, three All-Region selections, and a pair of All-America laurels. As a junior, he helped Allegheny secure an NCAC title by placing fourth in the conference tournament. It was one of six different tournaments the Gators won that season. Swanson was the individual medalist during Allegheny's victory at the Hiram College Invitational. At the NCAA Championships in Lincoln, Nebraska, he led all Gators by tying for seventh place with a four-round total of 304 (+20), helping the team tie for sixth place on the leaderboard. He also finished seventh in the country as a senior in 1992 in Wooster, Ohio, with a cumulative 295 (+7). He carded the second-best final round in the championship tournament with a 2-under 70, and the Gators climbed four spots in the standings to tie for fifth place. During Swanson's tenure, Allegheny was consistently ranked as the top team in the region and among the national leaders in the entire Division III landscape.
