Pablo Morales

Pedro Pablo Morales (born December 5, 1964 in Chicago, Illinois) was an Olympic swimmer for the United States. He won a relay gold and two silver medals swimming Butterfly at the 1984 Summer Olympics and set the world record in the 100 m Butterfly at the Olympic Trials that year as well as setting relay records with teammates Rick Carey, Steve Lundquist, and Rowdy Gaines.

However, in 1988 on the heels of a record 11th NCAA individual championship at Stanford University, he failed to qualify for the 1988 Summer Olympics. After briefly retiring from the sport to pursue a law degree at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, he returned to the Olympics in 1992 as the team captain and captured Gold in the 100 m Butterfly, becoming the oldest swimmer to win an Olympic medal. He is currently the head women's Swimming & Diving coach at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
