A Tampa native who starred for his hometown college team, Justin Throneburg ranks as one the most accomplished collegiate goaltenders of all-time. During his final two years as a Spartan, Throneburg earned All-SSC and All-South Region first team honors each season. He was a first-team All-America selection in 1991, one year removed from earning second-team All-America distinction. His most impressive collegiate award came in 1991, when he was recognized as the Umbro National Goalkeeper of the Year. Immediately following his collegiate days, Throneburg received high honors, when he was selected as a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic Team. As an Olympian, Throneburg served as the backup to Brad Friedel during qualifying rounds before an injury prevented him from making the trip to Barcelona. More than a decade since concluding his college career, Throneburg still holds school records with 16 career solo shutouts and a 0.59 single-season goals against average. His career goals against average of 0.76 ranks fifth all-time among SSC net minders. A 1992 University of Tampa graduate with a degree in business management, Throneburg currently works in private business.
