Dick Cullenward earned All-America honors following the 1949-50 campaign after recording a sixth-place finish at the 1950 NCAA Championships in the 1,500 yard freestyle.

Before his time at Pacific, Cullenward was a J.C. All-American for coach Bill Antilla at Stockton College, where he held national J.C. records in the 220 and 440 yard freestyle at both 20 and 25 yard course distances.

In 1951, Dick scored 66 goals for the men's water polo team, breaking Frank Poucher's school record. He helped the Tigers to a record of 3-3 in 1950 and 7-5 in 1951. He tied for high point honors on the 1950 team with Bobby Brown.
