Tracy Caulkins' versatility as a swimmer still remains unmatched to this day. She won national titles in all four strokes as well as in the individual medley. She won five gold medals and a silver at the 1978 world championships, but missed her opportunity for Olympic glory when the U.S. boycotted the 1980 Games. She finally earned her hardware at the 1984 Olympics, when she won the 200- and 400-meter individual medleys and swam a leg of the U.S.' gold-medal-winning medley relay.
