At the same tournament, the twenty-year old also collected two individual silver medals, in the 100m and in the 200m backstroke.
At that time, Stamm was the second best backstroker in the world, behind East German Roland Matthes. Stamm managed to break Matthes' world 200m backstroke record only once, in 1970, but Matthes recaptured it three weeks later.
Mike Stamm was coached by James Counsilman at Indiana University.
