Zach Weiss is a 15-time all-American sprinter and 11-time NCC champion from Omaha, Nebraska, whose program records in both the 50- and 100-yard freestyle stood for nearly 20 years. Both marks were made as a senior in 1999 when he swam 20.28s in the 50 and 45.38s in the 100. He also graduated with the second-fastest time in the 200 (1:41.97).
Weiss placed fourth at nationals in the 50 in 1997 – the highest finish at the time by a USD male swimmer – and took second in the 50 in both 1998 and 1999. He added all-America honors in the 100 with a fourth-place finish in 1999 and was a member of 10 all-American relay teams. Eleven of his all-America awards were for top-five finishes.
Weiss won three consecutive NCC titles in the 50-yard freestyle from 1997-99, earned gold in the 100 in 1999 and was a member of six championship relay teams. He helped lead the Coyotes to NCC championships in both 1997 and 1999, and to a third place national finish in 1999. USD was the first NCC program to finish in the top three.
Weiss currently serves as a spinal and biologics sales consultant at Medtronic in Omaha. He and his wife, Sabrina, have two kids, Cooper (11) and Kenzie (8).
