W. Gordon Fediaczko ’59 remains as one of the top talents in the rich swimming and diving tradition at Washington & Jefferson College. A four-year letter winner for the Presidents and a team captain during his junior and senior seasons, Fediaczko excelled in a number of different events. Fediaczko made his mark in the 200 breaststroke where he went undefeated during his final two years on campus. He was a two-time Presidents’ Athletic Conference champion in the 200 breaststroke and earned an invitation to the NCAA Division III Championships as a senior.
Fediaczko held the pool and school records in the event for over 20 years. He and his teammates became the first student-athletes in school history to compete in the PAC. Following his senior season, he was selected as the top swimming student-athlete by the athletic department. He joined fellow W&J Hall of Famers King Hartman, E. Ronald Salvitti and Larry Romboski who also earned awards that evening. Two of Fediaczko’s sons, Michael J. and D. Scott, are Washington & Jefferson College graduates.
