GW’s first and only NCAA First Team All-American, Bolognesi was a standout performer from the moment of his arrival in Foggy Bottom. During his two-year run in the Buff and Blue, Bolognesi won six individual A-10 titles and was named the A-10 Most Outstanding Performer in both of his trips to the A-10 Championships. Bolognesi led GW men’s swimming and diving to its first-ever A-10 Championship in 2016-17 after earning a total of seven gold medals (three individual, four relays). Bolognesi became the third GW men’s swimmer to qualify for the NCAA Championships in 2015-16 and became the first member of the Buff and Blue to qualify for multiple NCAA Championships when he qualified the next season. Bolognesi earned the title of NCAA First Team All-American at the 2016 NCAA Championships, when he finished eighth in the 100-breast A-final to achieve his All-American status.
