Maik Wiedenbach, a 2001 Fordham College at Rose Hill graduate, was one of the top male swimmers at Fordham in the late 1990's and early 2000's.
 
Wiedenbach opened his Fordham career with a fourth-place showing in the 100 freestyle at the 1999 championships.
 
As a sophomore in 1999-2000, Wiedenbach broke three Fordham records, individually in the 50 and 100 freestyle and as a member of the 800 freestyle relay. He broke the 50 and 100 freestyle records at the 2000 Atlantic 10 championships, finishing second in both events to garner Second Team All-Atlantic 10 honors and went on to place second in both races at the 2000 ECAC Championships. The 100 freestyle record that he broke was one of the oldest at Fordham, having been set 24 years earlier. All told as a sophomore, Wiedenbach had 19 first-place finishes in regular-season competition and he capped the year by winning the 2000 Vincent T. Lombardi Award, presented annually to the top male athlete at Fordham.
 
In 2000-01, Wiedenbach closed out his Fordham career with a fifth-place finish in the 100 free at the 2001 Atlantic 10 Championships and he was named to the 2001 Atlantic 10 Academic All-Conference Team.
