Medal record

Daniel Lee Harrigan (born October 29, 1955) is an American former backstroke swimmer. At the 1975 Pan American Games he won the 200 m backstroke event, but also contracted hepatitis and had to stop training for several months. He managed to recover by the 1976 Olympics and won a bronze medal in the same event.[1][2]
Harrigan studied architecture at North Carolina State University,[1] where he swam for the NC State Wolfpack swimming and diving team in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) competition from 1973 to 1976. At North Carolina, he swam for Hall of Fame Coach Don Easterling, who coached NCSU from 1971-1995. Easterling was a demanding coach who led NCSU to twelve consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Titles from 1971-1982, which included ACC conference titles during Harrigan's tenure with the swimming team.[4][5]
