Cerney capped off a spectacular career for the Maroon and Gold in 1992 by repeating as the Big Ten's 50-yard freestyle champion and then earning bronze at the NCAA Championships. By the end of the national meet his senior year, Cerney had picked up eight All-America finishes during his career. He was also a five-time Big Ten champ, highlighted by those consecutive crowns in the 50 free. In addition to his Gopher career, Cerney won the 1991 U.S. senior national title in 50-meter freestyle, becoming the first Gopher to win a senior national championship in more than two decades.
