Timeline

1963

Mark William Stockwell (born 5 July 1963) is an Australian former competition swimmer and three-time Olympic medallist.

1980

Stockwell is a Queensland native who specialised in freestyle sprint events, and had a successful international swimming career during the mid-1980s including the Olympics, Pan Pacific Championships, and Commonwealth Games.

Following his retirement from competitive swimming, he has become a successful business executive and has been active in the administration of national sports organisations in Australia.

Stockwell was born and raised in Brisbane, Queensland, the son of Bill and Necia Stockwell.

He is a 1980 graduate of St Laurence's College, a Roman Catholic boys' high school in Brisbane.

1982

Stockwell was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder from 1982 to 1984, and again in 1987.

He undertook commerce and engineering studies at the University of Queensland, and economics coursework at the Australian National University.

He also attended the University of Florida in the United States.

1984

Stockwell won three medals at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

In the men's 100-metre freestyle, Stockwell finished in 50.24 seconds and claimed a silver medal behind American swimmer Rowdy Gaines's Olympic record time of 49.80 seconds.

The outcome was controversial, however, because of a premature starter gun and a quick start by Gaines.

Gaines's coach, Richard Quick, knew of starter Frank Silvestri's tendency to fire the starter gun almost immediately when the competitors mounted the blocks; as a result Gaines gained about a metre's head start on the competition, and held Stockwell off to claim the gold medal.

Video of the event confirmed that Stockwell had not been set when the starter pulled the trigger.

Stockwell and the Australian Olympic Federation lodged an official protest, but it was denied.

Stockwell, along with teammates Greg Fasala, Neil Brooks, and Michael Delany, won another silver medal in the men's 4×100-metre freestyle relay, finishing in 3:19.68 – just 0.63 of a second behind the Americans' new world record of 3:19.05.

He also teamed up with Mark Kerry (backstroke), Peter Evans (breaststroke), and Glenn Buchanan (butterfly), swimming the freestyle anchor leg to win the bronze medal in the 4×100-metre medley relay (3:43.25) behind the Americans (3:39.30) and Canadians (3:43.25).

He and his freestyle relay teammates were dubbed the "Mean Machine" by the Australian media.

Stockwell was the only Australian athlete to win three Olympic medals in 1984.

After the Olympics, Stockwell attended the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, United States, where he swam for the Florida Gators swimming and diving team under coach Randy Reese during the 1984–85 school year.

He won three Southeastern Conference titles (50- and 100-yard freestyle, 400-yard freestyle relay), and received All-American honours in each of the three events.

While attending the university he dated his future wife, fellow Gators swimmer Tracy Caulkins, whom he had met in the warm-up pool at the 1984 Olympics.

1985

He followed his Olympic performance with a bronze medal for his third-place finish in the 50-metre freestyle (23.44), and a fourth in the 100-metre freestyle (51.64) at the 1985 Pan Pacific Championships in Tokyo.

1986

By the time the 1986 Commonwealth Games were held in Edinburgh, Stockwell had fallen back from his Olympic times in Los Angeles.

He claimed a gold medal with his Australian teammates Fasala, Matthew Renshaw, and Neil Brooks in the 4×100-metre relay (3:21.58), and finished seventh in the 100-metre freestyle (51.61).

He retired from competitive swimming in 1986.

1989

In December 1989, The Age newspaper recognised Stockwell as one of the three best Australian swimmers of the 1980s.

1991

Stockwell married American swimmer Tracy Caulkins, a three-time Olympic gold medallist, in 1991 in her hometown of Nashville, Tennessee.

The couple live in Brisbane with their five children.

2000
